Aug. 20 Press re ports said today the nationalists had sped strong reinforcements Into the mountains less than 170 mile north e?U of Canton In an attempt to check the reds' southward rush.

The nationalist also admitted the loss of Anjen, S50 miles north of Canton and a key point on th eastern flank of th Canton-Hankow railroad. The fall of Anjen means th reds are bypassing the Hunan province defense bastion of Hengyang on th east and auggesU they are trying to cut the rail line at Leiyang.
