8 neutrality pact with Russia. Japan was bound to aid Germany under it's axis alliance, 1t chose to Ignore the fact that Germany was the aggres- sor, and at the same time was pledg- cd to maintain neutrality with Rus- sia.)
 Full Mobilization
 Shanghai, July 17.--(UP)-private adyices from Tokyo said today that full mobilization was in progress all over Japan while new and strong CT cabinet was being formed to pro- secute a positive foreign policy.
 What use would be made of newly mobilized men was uncertain, the advices said.
 Indications increased here that Japan's first move would be made. probably within the next few days, against French Hndo- China, though 1t was widely reported that Japan al- SO was strengthening its forces op- lposite the Siberian frontier.
 (Tokyo newspapers announced that schools throughout Japan would remain open for an additional two weeks in order to relieve "over-bur- dened transportation facilities" It was pointed out that this would keep students off trains -and, it followed, make room for soldiers and muni- tions.)
 Authoritative reports from Tokyo said the resignation of the cabinet yesterday was due to the combined pressure of German officials in Jap- an and pro-axis Japanese.
 It did not follow, 1t was said, that the new cabinet would be primarily a pro-German one.
 According to these adyices, the German pressure was exerted to iIl- sure a new cabinet which would be anti-American, and would immobil- ize the United States fleet and di- vert American attention from Eur- ope.
 Lessen Its Value
 These advices said Germany did not desire Japan to intervene against Russia at the moment because that would occupy Japan completely and lessen its value to the axis.
 It had been reported all week that the fall of the cabinet was imminent. There had been reports also of mob- ilizations and transfers of big units on the continent.
 Usually well informed sources here expressed strong belief that for the moment Japan was concentrating on move southward in an attempt to gain increasel domination over French Indo-C China and possibly Thailand, and especially to get con- trol of the Great Camrann naval base of Indo-C China.
 It was reported that Japan would try to get it's concessions in Indo- China by negotiation with the vichy Government but that was pre- pared to take military measures if necessary.
 Neutral military intelligence of ficers here said they understood the heavy Japanese troop concentrations already effected in Manchukuo and inner Mongolia were defensive. On the offensive side the Japanese navy might blockade Vladivostok, Rus sia's Siberian port, informants said, and the troops would be used only in event of Russian retaliation.

 The V campaign appeared to have caught on as no other British propaganda drive has since the start of the war.
 Speculation was intense in Bri- tain, and, 1t was believed, in the occupied countries concerning the big V manifestation which has been set by the British for this coming Sunday. Whether the British would mark the day by some special n1il- itary activity, such as dispatch of raiding parties to the continent was not known but there have been wise spread hints of some such action.

 Altogether l7 ships of an esti- mated tonnage Of between o0,00C and 100000 were put out of action either permanently or for long time to come. Five more ships to- taling between 10000 and 46,000 tons were severely damaged.

 New Cabinet Coming
 Tokyo, July 17-CUP)-Emperor Hirohito today instructed Prince Fumimaro Konoye to form. new cabinet to succeed the one which, under his leadership as Premier, re- signed yesterday.
 It was indicated that Prince Kon- eye had accepted the imperial man. date to form @ new and stronger" cabinet, as he remained at the pal- ace to talk to Marquis Koichi Kido, Lord Keeper of the privy seal. He talked also to Baron Kiichiro Hir- anuma, Interior Minister of the out going cabinet.
 Konoye's name had been submit- ted to the emperor by senior states men, including former premiers, who met under Kido's leadership early this afternoon.
 The official information board an- nounced that Konoye would con- fer tonight with Gen. Hideki Tojo and Admiral Koshiro Oikawa, war and navy ministers in the late cab- inet.
 As the emperor and his ministers sought to end the cabinet crisis, newspapers announced that all schools throughout the country, due to close for summer vacations, would be kept in session for two weeks more, thereby relieving the currently overburdened transporta- ton facilities" It was pointed out that the continued operation of schools, especially boarding school, would keep children off trains" ] CA United Press Shanghai dis patch quoted special advices from Japan that full mobilization was in progress throughout the countryO
 Censorship Frightened
 Censorship was drastically tight ened because of the cabinet crisis, precipitated by a critical situation in foreign relations.
 So sternly had authorities decided to enforce the drastic new national defense laws, especially the state sec- rets law, that newspapers entirely refrained from speculating on the composition of the new cabinet or even mentioning the names of can didates.
 ct was no secret that Japan, bog ged down in China after four years of fighting, after having embargoes imposed by Britain and the United States on war goods it needed. after having been refused the economic concessions it sought in the Neither lands East Indies, had been seriously embarrassed by Germany's attack on Russia. This embarrassment reached crisis proportions when Great Bril- .--in effected an alliance with Rus sia. Incidentally. the Japanese cabi- net resigned one day after the an- nouncement that Britain and Rus- sia were really allied. not merely as- sociated.

the Pskov- -Porkhov sector "in other directions and sectors of the front no major engagements took place and no substantial changes oc- cured in the position of the troops"
 It reported that the Red air fleet had been most active during the night in attacking German motor i2ed and mechanized columns and blasting at German aircraft ct op- erational airdromeS close to the front.
 The surrender of the Rumanian battalion was said to have occurred after a complete rout of c group of Rumanian- German tropos in the southwest"
 The Rumanian troops brought in to the Russian lines three anti-tank guns, 420 rifles, l2 machine guns, much ammunition and other sup. pliesp the communique said.
 (However, mention of the Bobruisk sector, 162 miles southwest of Smolensk, indicated also that when they recaptured Rogaehev, on the Dnieper river earlier this week the Russians pushed back the German line more than 30 miles from the Dneiper, the Stalin line, at that point).
 Russians Hold Here
 It was indicated that along the line generally, and especially in the Novograd-Volynsk sector of the Uk- ranian front, the Russians were holding fast.
 The communique said the Russian air force throughout yesterday con- centrated deadly blows on German tanks and motorized infantry and artillery, bombed German air. dromes, bombed and machine gunned concentrations of enemy troops at pontoon bridges, and in Rumania bombed the Ploesti oil fields and transports and oil barges at the Danube river ports of Sulina, Tulcea and Isaccea.
 CThere was no way of telling at what point the Germans were using pontoon bridges, presumably on a big scale. It seemed probable that the pontoon bridges were being used along the Dnieper).
 It was asserted that the Germans, falling back under vigorous Rus sian attack after the recapture of Rogachev, lost a complete tank bat talion which the Russians sur rounded and annihilated.
 The communique said the crews of six of the German tanks were so exhausted that many men could not get out of their machines with out help. Examining surgeons found the Germans had broken down as the result of under-nourishment and fatigue due to the mefeiless pace of the blitzkrieg.
 Continue to Surrender
 Assertions were made that Ger man and other Axis troops contin- ued to surrender to the Russians oi their own will.
 The communique said Russian scouts sighted a small camounaged German airdrome behind the Ger. man lines and that eight German planes tried vainly to take of when the Russians approached. Arriving at the field, the Russians were told by German Technical Sergeant VII. helm Meier, it was asserted, that the ground crew had decided to sur. render and 70 had kahotaged the motors Of the planes.
