“October 17, 1 p.m. Forces of Sun Chuan-fang have completely occupied Shanghai without resistance, and advance guards are reported to have reached outskirts of Soochow. It is reported that retreating Fengtien soldiers have blown up one of the bridges near Soochow. Since there are no other troops in this vicinity to oppose Sun no fighting is expected here. Jacobs.”
