The department, for the first time

Ry the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, May 19.-Chi-
nese troops have completely re-
occupied the strategic east coast
port city of Foochow in an area
where the Japanese have feared
American landings, the high
command announced today.
There were indications that the
enemy already had withdrawn or
was in the process of Withdrawing
from the coastal region around the
port.
There were signs that the Japa-
nese in the area were slipping up the
coast by ships in the night toward
Shanghai.
There also were indications that
the Japanese at Wenchow, port in
the province of Chekiang, 220 miles
south of Shanghai, might follow the
example of those at Foochow, and
that those at Annoy and Swatow
we're preparing to withdraw south
ward to Hong Kong. All these ports
are exposed to bombing from Philip
pine bases and are virtually cut of
from Japan and Formosa.
Garrisons Lack Defenses.
Japanese garrisons, in each in
stance a few thousand at the most,
have virtually no offensive capacity
against any American forces which
might land on the China coast, and
in defensive operations would face
annihilation.
Some observers in Chungking
foresaw a possibility of japanese
abandonment of Southeast Asia in
favor of positions north of the
Yellow River, with the enemy evac-
uation from Burma to Thailand as
the first step.
The Chinese high command said
Chinese troops had broken into
Foochow Thursday night and had
completed recapture of the city by
yesterday morning.
(Vice Admiral Ryozo Fukuda,
who on Tuesday was named COM
mander of the Japanese fleet in
China waters, was quoted by
Tokyo broadcast as saying the
heavy fighting in the Pacific and
the changes" in Europe "natu-
rally have complicated effects on
the China situation.")
The Chinese had been driven
from Foochow earlier this week
after the japanese threw in heavy
