LAPS SHOVE TO KNOCK CHINA

CHUNGKING-The Japanese ap- parently intent on knocking China out of the war now, or at least seizing forward areas which some day might cradle direct attack on Japan, have supplemented their broad offensive in Chekiang Pro vince with a landing in force near Foochow, Fukein Province.
 The Chinese high command an- nouneed that a dozen Japanese transports steamed up the river a short distance from Formosa strait and unloaded troops. which were being heavily engaged by the de- lenders.
 The Foochow action created a second highly active front in the Chekiang- -Fukein seaboard area and a new threat at the rear of Chinese forces which few hours earlier, claimed to have curb ed the enemy on the 150-mile Che kiang front. There was no change along the Burma road west of the Salween river, the Chinese reported, and the Yunnan front, under monsoon rains, was be- coming stabilized.
