liips Moving Troops Into Border llegion

By JOIIN KIMCIIE Reuters Military Correspondent LONDON. May {ti-Signs of

gowing military tension on the viet-Manchurian "frontier are increasing.

‘the Ja snese are moving large bodies o troops irom Southern and Western China into the Man- churian border region. This ac- counts, in part, for the ra id Chi- nese advances through he im- portant centre of Yungning (Nan- ning) and southwest. The Jlpa- nese army would not have aband- oned this town without determin- ed resistance ii they had not more important matters on hand.

This movement has been pro- ceeding ior some weeks and the Japanese garrison in Msnchuris has been substantially increased above its normal 38 divisions.

The anouncemen-t from Moscow that "the Soviet Siberian armies will move into camps ior summer maneuvers early in June,",has a somewhat demonstrative ring seen against the background oi these Japanese troop movements. The summer is the traditional cam- paigning season on this border; almost all the frontier incidents in the prewar years took place be- tween June and August.

'I‘iiis Japanese regrouplng is avg. dently aimed to reinforce the act- ive courti oi the Soviet Union which has en the main pillar of Japanese warfare since the col-l lapse oi Germany. They are try- ing hard to convince the Russians that it would not pay the Soviet Union to enter the lists against Japan.

BRITISH ULTIMATUM LONDON, May 31 — (AP) —

Britain today ordered her power- ful mid-eastern army to halt the

explosive French-Syrian fighting

1n a firmly-worded note Prime Minister Churchill notified Gen.

De Gaulle that Gen. Sir Bernard Paget, British commander-in- chiei in the Middle East, had been ordered to “lntervene" to prevent further bloodshed and to protect Allied communication lines ior the Japanese war.

implication that Britain's inter- vention would be extended beyond the shootlnfi period.

A dispatc sharp note came as a stunning surprise to Gen. dc Gaulle, who quickl called an emergency meet- ing o key ministers to discuss the situation.

The note reached Paris at the time a French- Foreign Ofiice spokesman was reiterating at a press conference that his country did not wish Anglo-American mediation in the Levant dispute. He said French reinforcements might be sent to Syria "ii the sit- uation becomes critical."
