Hongkong, Oct. 2.
The situation this morning on the border of the Leased Territories was somewhat, obscure.
Japanese aerial activity is continuing, following raids by six Japanese aeroplanes near Fanling yesterday, which were reported by foreigners.
It has been established that the Japanese are still in possession of villages on the border. At the same time, vernacular reports of a large-scale attack by the Chinese appear to be grossly exaggerated.
Investigations by independent sources reveal that yesterday's engagement at Shataukok was carried cut by a very small number of Chi-rose forces.
It is, however, learned that 4,000 Chinese troops have actually arrived it the vicinity, and further developments are expected.—Reuter.
