AT latest reports, Japanese patrols
had approached to within 80 miles
OF Imphal, British base for opera
tions In Burma, from the south and
38 miles from the southeast.
In the southern, or Arakan sector,
above Akyab, the British said they
had taken an important hill position
north OF the Observation-Disclosures

were destroyed, five probably de-

Merrill's Men Take Shaduzup.
The occupation of Shaduzup. In
the Mogaung Valley, was by Brig.
Gen. Frank Merrill's al-American
Marauders and Chinese.
The capture was effected by cut
ting around the Japanese from the
east, and as result the retreat of
an undetermined number of Japa-
nese was cut off. This force was
caught between the Shaduzup force
and Allied troops in Jambu Bum, the
dividing line between the Hukawng
and Mogaung Valleys.

today that ''the communiques are
no more obscure than the military
situation itself"
The spokesmen emphasized that
difficulties were encountered in
fighting the enemy because of the
almost impenetrable jungle covering
the battle region-an area some 18O
miles long and 30 miles wide.
'Encirclement is always possible
in this curious jungle warfare" the
spokesman said. But the Jap must
fight full-scale battle on our terms
eventually. 1t will take more than
maneuvers."
The Japanese are in stronger force
in the Imphal offensive than the
estimated 10,500 troops they are re-
ported to have in the smaller Arakan
area.
