Something Is Very Liable To Happen
 To Japan's Policy
Western Powers Are Preparing to Use Squeeze Play"-Meanwhile Japan is Quitting League as Chinese Prepare For Defense

North China will break out on an enormous scale.
 China will not be unprepared. It is reported to have. 100000 sol- diers north of the Yangtze river. Between 100000 and 30,060 = the nations best-are said to Eje in the Peiping- -Tientsin and Jehol areas The Chinese government inform. ed its legation here last n ght that large scale military Clserations seemed Imminent" along ahe east- ern border of the Jehoi Province. The advices said that main forces of Japanese and Chinese troops were only 15 miles apart and that their advance guards already had clashed.
 Because Japan has . powerful navy while China has virtually none, and because of the technical superiority of Japan,s land equip ment, military observers do hot be- iieve that China could gain any i'm. portant victories. But China would have the advantage of fighting on home ground with vastly superior man power.
 Some military observers see . parallel between Napoleon's futile invasion of Russia and Q Japanese campaign in the Chinese, interior. Napoleon had an army far superior to Russia's but was defeated be. cause the size of the country baf- fled his transport service. M

 Song denied Japanese reports of dissension among Chinese military leaders. He doubted that Japan would dare present an uitimatum to the Nanking, government dee manding that the Chinese get out of Jehoi, because he believed China and the rest of the world would construe such action as a de- claration of war.
