new REGULATIONS
OF VISA REGARDING
SHIPPING CLAIMS

New government regulations CT
the War Shipping Administration
with regards to cargo claims against
shipping companies operating in
Alaska, has been received by all
steamship companies operating in
these waters, it was reported Mon
day by shipping officials.
The new legislation was passed
and approved by Congress last
April "a, and the instruction calls
for a written statement from the
claimant to the steamship company
involved, covering each claim un-
settled as of July Ia, 1914, due to
the fact that over a year has
elapsed since the shipment moved,
the statement must set forth the
reason why the suit had not been
instituted prior to that date. When
the statement contains reasons in
conformity with the Government
regulations, the shipping compan-
les, it was stated, will be in a po-
sition to handle the claim further.
1t was stipulated that the state
ment of the claimant must maation
the fact that payment has not been
received from insurance under
writer's or from any other source.
For example, after identifying
the particular claim in the para
graph of their letters, the claimants
would probably state that suit was
not commenced because as in the
past they had relied upon the usual
peacetime practice OF the steamship
lines as private operators in not re-
curing filing suit within the one
year period, and understood that
this was customary in Alaska.

the Canto-Hankow railway.
There's the usual summer loot
now fixed custom with the Jap
anese, Army in China, Then there's
the need Japan has for the railway
itself. If they could get it. and
keep it going, it would help their
shipping problem, which grows big
ger as American planes harass
their shipping lanes through the
China Sea. ios
u. S. Bases i'm Danger y
Next, capture of the line would
pinch off any American air bases
in eastern China--if there are
such bases. Japanese propagandists
keep talking about advanced Ameri-
can bases within hundred miles
or so of the coastal such places
as Yushan, Kienow and Churchow
GishuD. One Japanese military
spokesman mentioned "dobens' of
such bases.
Furthermore, if the Canton-H Han
kow line were captured, the Jap
anese would be better able to de-
fend the China coast when the
time comes for American forces to
land there. The japanese appear

A Difficult Campaign

A Difficult Campaign
Finally the Japanese probably
hope to catch sizeable Chinese
forces between their northern and
southern drives Knowing the Chi
nese have lighter and fewer arms,
they may hope to destroy them
between the jaws of their twin Of
fensive
However, in spite of China's
scarcities, this Japanese campaign
may turn out to be one, of the
most difficult in seven years of
warfare in China.
In the north. the Japanese may
have fairly easy going as far south
as Hengchow, a hundred miles
south of Changsha. They would
be fighting up the broad but mar
rowing valley of the Slang River
South of Hengchow the country be-
comes mountainous. The railway
goes through more than 35 tunnels
as it winds up through narrow val
leys, across rough divides. and down
through more valleys to the south
There is a stretch of about sc
miles across the Hunan-Kuang
tung provincial border, between the
towns of Chenchow and Lokchang
where the terrain is Enthusiastically
hilly The mountains tower in
dizzying crags and monoliths which
westerners see only in Chinese
paintings
Sub Tropical Climate
South of the Human border, the
climate is humid and sub-tropical
Dense underground and bamboo
thickets join. with irregular forest
areas to furnish excellent cover fol
defense.
~ Chinese military officials here say
they are confident that even if
the. Japanese can CONCUR the entire
railway-and they by no means
concede that it can be done ex-
cept at great cost-7they will not
be able to use it.
The entire line would be subject
to Allied air attack. The countless
defiles linking the railway with
the irregular mountains of the
hinterland on both sides would ex-
pose it to constant counteraction
by Chinese troops.
This mountainous Hunan-Kuang-
tung country is inhabited by peo-
pie who for six years STAYED off
japanese invasion successfully. The
lay of the land is quite different
from the arid plains. OF the north,
where the Japanese have had their
best luck in conquering and hold
ing long supply lines.
