Ir is astonishing how often the spokesmen of the two sides in this present Oh-give-it-a~ name-somebody are in the completest agreement. Thus reporting a Japanese descent upon the island of Yuwanshan on Thursday the Japanese communique said:— he Chinese fled abandoning several score dead."
The Central News Service, Chinese, on the other hand reported.
"Chinese defenders holding a favourable position on the island repulsed the invaders in each of their attempts. After a sanguinary encounter lasting for over two hours, the Japanese retreated to their warships, ug more than 10, dead behind."
So they're both agreed that the other side was defeated.
