Chinese Near Victory
In Shantung Province
BY the Associoted Press

NANKING, Aug. 14.--Generalis-
,simo Chang Kai-shek's armies sp-
peared today to be on the verge
of a major victory in coastal Shan
tung province, where Communist
forces had been cut into several fee
ing segments.
Government Gen. Wang Yuo-Wu's s
North Shantung army was reported
less than so miles from the sea in
it's northward drive. Completion of
the drive would cut Shantung pen
insula from the remainder of the
province
In Southwest Shantung, Com
munist Gen. Liu Po-cheng's forces
swung southwestward after govern
ment troops blocked their escape
route across the Yellow River. To
the north, the army of Communist
Gen. Chen vi appeared to have
started withdrawal westward
across the Yellow River into the
Honan- -Hopeh- Shansi region, aban-
QOn1ng nope OF regrouplng WlJnllf
Shantung.
Behind the Government successes
were two factors: Overwhelming
numerical superiority and adoption
of a change in basic fighting policies
by which Gen. Chiang's generals
abandoned efforts to capture and
garrison towns to throw their full
strength into catching and crushing
enemy troops.
Military experts said the next two
weeks should determine the success
or failure of the government drive
Complete victory over Red forces
there should restore confidence OF
national armies and release nearly
one third of Chiang's available reg
ulars for use elsewhere.
