British Withdraw
80 Miles 10 New
Line in Burma
japanese Have Advanced
Third Of Way From
MouImein to Roneoon
Rx lht Associated Press.

RANGOON, Burma, Feb. IT,
The battleline OF Burma was
drawn today near the head OF
the Gulf Of Martaban around
which lies the Burma Road,
China's invaluable gateway to
the sea, and the pathway to
India.
The new line was announced by
the British, who said they had with
drawn 80 miles from the Thaton-
Duyinzeik area to the line of the
Bilin River to take advantage Of 1t
as potential spring board for
counterattacks and to extricate i'm
perial forces from position where
infantry units might have been over
whelmed piecemeal by the Japanese.
Rail Center Forfeited.
The withdrawal. carried out yes
terday, apparently forfeited the
railroad center OF Thaton, setting
the British right flank back about
10 miles north of Japanese-held
Moulmein and about los miles by
road from Rangoon.
Thus, in six days. the japanese
have advanced 60 miles from Mar
taban, after crossing. the Salveen
River from Moulmein, and have put
behind them more than one-third
Of the distance from there to RAN
COON.
The British communique said the
new imperial line, presumably on
the west bank of the Bilin, which
flows south into the gulf, gave their
troops more concentrated posi-
tions." The Japanese were reported
not to have interfered with the
withdrawal, merely following it up
out of gunshot.
Little Cover In Hills.
The low, bushy hills through
which the Bilin flows, however, are
not likely to provide troops and
artillery with much cover against
dive-bombing attacks, and the shall
low stream itself is less formid-
able barrier than the broader,
treacherous Salween.
The Bilin River mouth is about
so miles down the Rangoon- Mar
taban Railroad from Pegu, the
junction at which another line
branches northward toward Man.
dalay and Lashio, where the Burma
road meets the railhead.
Pegu, through which flows the
supplies China must import over
the Burma road. thus is the next
major goal in the Japanese land
drive If it were lost, supplies
would have to be sent over the long
er, alternative route from Calcutta
through Upper Burma.
