WORLD FRONT TODAY
In developing the battle for eastern
China territory, the Allies need to strike
at Japan’s vitals.
The Chinese troops have severed the
Japanese-held Hankow-Peiping railroad,
but have given ground in the struggle
to hold strategic Loyang, in Honan Prov
ince.
The Chinese High Command has an
nounced the capture of supply lines on
the partly dismantled railway between
Hankow and Peiping, which only last
week, the Japanese completed the cap
ture of the line and are now setting to
work to put it into service. The Chinese
had long since removed much of the
track.
The capture of Suiping and the isola
tion of enemy forces near Chumatein
would snarl the Japanese attempts to
seal northeastern China.
The Nipponese have kept the Allies
guessing at their real objectives in the
present North China drive, but Chinese
authorities view the situation with alarm,
in that they fear it is aimed at the com
plete control of the 1.000-mile Peiping
Canton railroad running through China
north and south, __
Such control would make more secure
the enemy hold on the rich slice of ter
ritory fronting the Pacific coast.
Loyang’s defenses have been pierced;
in three places and there is heavy fight
ing in the city. If Loyang falls, the way
is open for full-scale invasion to the in
terior of China, toward Chungking, and
I if in Japanese hands, would facilitate the
' drive on Tunokwan, the west gateway
i between northwestern and central
China.
Allied communiques from India seem
to bear out the supposition that the Jap
anese invasion of India and north Burma
has fai4ed completely, in that British
j forces are continuing their drive around
Kohima, and fighting their way south
ward with the allies.
i
General (Vinegar Joe) Stillwell’s
Burma offensive is grinding its way for
! ward and his Chinese offensive captured
a stronghold 11 miles above Kamaing,
which he has set as one of the main ob
jectives in his campaign.
The southwest Asia command reports
•that alliediforces are inflicting upon the
Japanese forces, casualties which are
rapidly nearing proportions much higher
than in any other theater in which the
Japanese are engaged
In Yugoslavia, Tito expects the second
front soon, he said in an interview at
i his headquarters, and says the Russians
will drive through to the heart of Ger
many. The Germans, he says, will not
withdraw from the Balkans until com
plete collapse sets in.
Tito offered the Allies 150,000 men for
action elsewhere, if Yugoslavia is liberat
'd now, and possibly double that num
ber later when the people will be more
free to side with Tito, who told observers
the Chitniks would take flight if there
was a determined attack upon them,
however, .the terrain is extremely val
uable to the Germans as a matter of de- ,
fense to the under-belly of the Balkans,
and is easily defended against the par
tisan forces. .. - ,
Tito declared the German soldier is
deteriorating as a fighter, and is not the
aggressive fighter he was a year ago—
I the machine is wearing down.
