Hankow, Sept, 25, To the ordinary man on "Main Street" in Hankow there ts not much Indleation of impending Invasion. and there certainly is a considerable hopefulness that there will be none, Yet nearly all the shop-keepers have run low on stock, and a good many have removed their most valuable [stock to other regions. At night the main streets are especially well peopled, though quite the opposite true'of Wuchang and Hanyang. Sinrlckshas are almost as numerous fas of yore, though the prices are higher, asso many people are con. stantly moving goods to what they consider safer areas.
There have been no serious air raids for six weeks, though now and then the alarms send the 800,000 of Hankow's population to shelter. There have been three alarms to. day, though no bombs seem to have been dropped in this immediate re. gion, A piece of steel two feet long and' weighing fifteen pounds has lately been found In an" unused bedroom of one of the mission houses, it having dropped through the roof in some former explosion, probably from the Hanyang Arsenal.
