MORE SOLDIERS
CONSCRIPTED

TOKYO, Jan. II. CUP) - The
japanese war office today called
for a new conscription law to mo-
bilize additional man power for the
war in China, while Emperor Hiro-
hito presided over an Imperial con-
ference on the conflict.
The ministry of war announced
that the conscription bill to be sub
mitted to parliament would swell
the ranks of the armies by restor-
ing the old 24-month term of service
instead of the present term of l8
months. The former term was in
effect until 1927 when the conScrip-
ton law was revised.
The Imperial conference was the
fifth held in japanese history It's
conclusions were guarded with ut
most secrecy. Speculation covered
a wide field including:
l. That severance of diplomatic
relations with China had been con-
sidered
2. That formal declaration of
war had been discussed, coincident
with a drive to isolate the Canton
life line to Hankow.
3. That the declaration of a
kingdom in North China was i'm
minent.
4. That final" peace terms had
been discussed.
