Hongkong, Oct. 15.
EVELOPMENTS on the South China front today were reliably reported to the capture by the Japanese of Waichow, important Chinese stronghold situated about 30 miles inland from Bias Bay, and the successful Chinese air raids on Japanese concentrations in Bias Bay this forenoon.
As a result of the Chinese raids, carried out by the air force from northern Kwangtung, the town of Hachung, one of the first points of landing by Japanese troops in the South China invasion, and an important Japanese base, was said tonight to be in flames.
