Chinese Forces Drive

BY the Associated Press.


CHUNGKING, June .19.-Chinese
forces have plunged past Tatang, 81
miles southwest of the former Amer
lean air base city of Liuchow on the
Yungning- -Liuchow highway, and are
striking toward Liuchow, the Chinese
high command announced today.
Tatang was seized by the Chinese
in initial thrusts nearly two weeks
ago, but 1t was regained by the jap
anese In counterdrive. The Chinese
subsequently reported that the Jap
anese were being hurled back.
(Today's announcement did not
state specifically that Tatang had
been captured by the Chinese.
The city may have been by
passed)
Other Chinese forces in Kiangsi
Province, where the Japanese have
been conducting operations designed
to strengthen South China's anti
invasion defenses and bolster the
east flank of the Hong Kong
Hankow corridor, attacked the
enemy west of Anyuan, an i'm
portant highway center 165 miles
northeast of Canton.
Japs Retreating.
The Japanese retreated in the
direction of Lungnan, IS miles west
of Anyuan, with the Chinese in
hot pursuit"
Following yesterdays announce
ment Of the capture of the port of
Wenchow, 220 miles south of Shang-
hal, Chinese military circles specu-
lated that the enemy might also
abandon two other pockets on the
China coast-Amoy and Swatow.
The reoccupation of Wenchow
was minimized by observers as
Chinese victory, but it was con-
sidered important from the view
point that its abandonment by the
Japanese was part of an immense
redeployment of forces which led to
the virtual abandonment of 10000
Japanese in Southeast Asia.
Red Threat Cited.
1t was thought in some circles
tnat tnlS fedeployment may have
been actuated less by fear Of an
Allied invasion than by Japanese
apprehension of a possible Russian
entry into the war. a potential
threat which has kept some of the
best divisions of the japanese Army
tied up in Manchuria.
Present indications were that the
Japanese might ultimately with
draw their forces in China to points
north of the Yellow River and
put up strong fight for Shanghai,
Hangchow and the Hong Kong and
Canton areas. All reports have
agreed that the defenses of these
two areas have been strengthened,
although some of the forces which
were sent to the Shanghai region
from Manchuria have since re-
turned.

on New Years Day. 1899, and the
inside story of the Axis begins in
these words from Ciano's volumi-

to transform the -Comintern
pact into an alliance. He considers
a clash with the western democ-
racies more and more inevitable,
and wishes a military alignment

plans to prepare public opinion,
about which he doesn't give
damn, to accept his views"
Two days later Ciano and William

France cannot risk Intervention in
Spain.

more deaths than births in the last
six months cannot indulge the lux
ury Of pouring out the blood OF its
limited population. Musso-
Ini said this morning, If Paris
sends forces, we shall unload 30 bat
talions at Valencia, even If this
should provoke a world war"
Ciano was In Belgrade January
1923. Balkan politics and a visit
by King Boris of Bulgaria occupied
him from then until January rs
when he went golfing and heard at
the club that Barcelona had fallen
to Franco. A nationwide celebra-
ton was planned Immediately.
JAN. 26.-"Il Duce, too, was very
moved, although he likes to appear
imperturbable. He has good reason
to be satisfied. Victory in Spain
bears only one name, that of Mus
solini, who conducted the campaign
bravely, firmly even when many
people who now applaud were
against him"
JAN. 27.-"Lord Perth British
