SHANGHAI, May 80 = (UP) :
Military sources said today that
Japan was determined to end the
Chinese-Japanese war as soon as
possible and devote full attention
to far eastern territory held by
the allied nations embroiled in the
European war.
The japanese inner cabinet was
meeting frequently to discuss
new Japanese policy in event of a
German victory in Europe. Elements
friendly to Germany and Italy have
been campaigning for an outright
military alliance between Japan
and the Nazi- Fascist states.
Anxiety in foreign areas of the

of evidence that Japan was making
every effort to bring the Chinese

limited Press War Expert

German troops, heavily out
numbering the retreating An
glo-French armies, are pro-
ceeding with caution in their flnai
drive of the Flanders campaign.
The retreat of the Allies is being
assisted by the difficulties which
the nature of the terrain presents
to German offensive fighting, and
more Importantly by the barrage
being laid down by the Allied war
ships off the Belgian and French
coast.
Because of these facts, an impor-
tant part Of the British expedition
ary corps probably will get safely
back to England, though with heavy
loss of equipment. The French
troops, farther away from the coast,
are in a more difficult position. the
British are along the coast, in force.
The French rear guard is 4O or oU
miles away.
Allied attempts to flood the User,
in an effort to check the Germans,
will have an important bearing on
the success of the retreat, II the
flooding can be made in time. 1t
was by this means that the great
German offensive through Belgium
in october, 1914. was stopped and
the channel ports west of Ostend
were saved. But the work Of mum
dation is difficult.
During the World war, the Allies
began their User flooding opera
tions on Oct. g. 1914; but it was
not until Oct. 90 that the sea was
induced to rush through the de-
stroyed sluices, helped by a gale.
