MILITARY RULE
DUE TO REPLACE
TOKYO CABINET
Imperial Headquarters
Would Be Set Up
BY JAMES r. YOUNG

TOKYO, Nov. 2 G.N.S).-A
plan to unity" Japan for the war
against China by establishment
of virtual military dictatorship
was advanced by high officials
here today as means Of strength
ening still further Japan'S military
might.
The scheme, which has i'm
portant support from Japanese
militarists, calls for establishment
of imperial headquarters which
would run the country, direct the
war and take supersedence-if not
completely wipe out-the japanese
cabinet.
EARLIER WAR RECALLED
Observer recalled that similar
action was taken at the time of the
Russo-Japanese war, md this
was regarded as highly significant
at the present with Russo.Japanese
relations now tense.
Speculation was keen as to
Japan's immediate governmental
future, and British diplomatic
circles here were particularly wor-
ried. In these and other foreign
circles rumors, unconfirmed but
persistent, predicted a Soviet
Japanese conflict after Japan has
cleaned up China"
OMNIBUS NOTE
Ominously foreshadowing more
sensational developments to follow
the Chinese campaign, one high
japanese foreign office official re-
marked sardonically:
do you think we need the
million men under arms at pres
ent merely to handle China's
ccolie army? It's time the Far
Eastern issue was cleaned up"
Reports of fresh succe sSes
reached here from China. One
dispatch said japanese troops &C.
cupied Tzeshih, 10 miles west of
Yangshuan along the Chengtai
railroad.
A move was afoot for a formal
declaration of war against China
before the imperial headquarters
is established. The newspaper
Nichi Nichi said the undeclared
war was causing Japan some
awkward inconvenience"
