War Situation Last Night

By Glenn Babb, Annotated Prom Wai- Analyst

have been so many falspul ‘ about the lgipanese offensive to knock China out of the war that eac new indicatlonlof its iminlnence is naturally received with skepticism. However, the drive now under way in western Ilupeh Province, less than 300 nlr line miles from. Chung- king, could be it.

Some days ago the Chinese reported five Japanese divisions in the Ichang area. Last night's Chungking communique still told of “large

“ s of " ‘ , ’ troops r ‘ through ' k " It is not un- likely that the llupeb operations involve some 100,000 enemy troops, by far the largest forces the Japanese have put in the field in China. since their panic-revenge drive through Cliekiang and Klangsi Provinces in the east end last summer after Gen. Doolittle! fliers had raided Tokyo.

Now the Japanese had held lchang, only 310 miles as the bomber flies from Chungking, free China's Capital, since June, 1940. Ichang, nearly 1,000 miles from the mouth of the Yangtze and 400 miles above Hiinkow, for nearly three years has been the hlghwater ma?‘ of enemy penetration just as it is the head of ordinary navigation on the Yangtze.

Geography and the enemy's p. occupafon with other ventures com- bine to explain the long halt there. Just three miles above Icliang begin the Yantae gorges, a. term which covers some 200 miles of turbulent water pouring at great speed through deep defilee, which extends to vv nshicn. As the river winds it ls more than 400 miles from Ichang to Chungking, with Wanehien about halfway. Through the gorges the Yangtze is navigable only by specially powered steamers. The bulk of traffic moves by junks hauled by coolic trackers tugging at great ropes along the two paths cut in the cliffs. This stretch of the river offers al- most ideal terrain for resistance.

Another factor in the delay, however, was the fact that the fall of Ichang to the Japanese coincided with the fall of France and the Nether- lands. That opened new vistas to the Japanese warlords, who turned their eyes to the south where the Asiatic Empires of the fallen nations lay onen to their plunder. Quickly they pulled in their lines in China and turned tn the absorption of French India-China and preparation for

war azalnst Britain and If necessary the United States.

The path of conquest new has brought them In a. great circle back to h-hanz in the heart of China. They have come to a point where it appears that the most fruitful of all military possibilities within their reach. the achievement which would dn most to tighten their grasp on the plunder they have raked in, is completion of the lob they let fall in the summer of 1940.

Says N0 Doubt That Tide Of lWar Has Turned

Tells Italian People Again To Get” Out Of WarBefo re DisasterStrikes.

By J- F. SANDERSON (Canadian Press Staff Writer)

WASHINGTON, May 25--(CP)—-Prlme Min- ister Churchill advised the Italian people today to overthrow the Fascist Government of Benito Mus- solini and get out of the war while they still have time to save themselves from destruction.

The tide of battle definitely has turned ln fav- or of the Allied Nations, the British leader declared when he took personal charge of a. Presidential

press conference at the White House.

His advice to the Italian people was this:-

Dismlee the leaders who have been leading their: around by the nose for years and throw themselves on the justice of those they have so grievously offended. The implied alternative was intensified bombing of Italian cities from North African and British bases-physical stimuli, he called it, in helping the Italians make up their minds what they want to do in the greatest emergency in their history.

Al. the same time. ‘Mr. Churchill said he pinned his fiilth in ultimate victory over the Axis nations. not on infernal collapse but in military knockout blows.
