ILLEGAL JEWISH IMMIGRATION

REVERSES IN NORTH
SHANSI
17
FIGHTING
(China Information Committee)"
Japanese troops in their two-year operations in various parts of China, have suffered so bitterly in hilly regions that, it is said, their commanders have developed a marked dislike to any place that bears as- a suffix to its name the word "shan." Chinese equi- valent for mountain or hill.
Already classic are the Japanese reverses in the Wutaishan area in North Shansi. The Japanese have so far launched at least a dozen "mopping-up" cam- paigns, none of which has been successful. Early this month they were forced to admit failure in their eighth drive in the Chungtlaoshan sector in south Shansi close to the Yellow River.
Relatively recent was the, disastrous Japanese attempt to round up a numerically superior Chinese army in Tạ- pishan north" of Hankow in Hupeh. The invaders lost 35,000 men, killed and wound- ed, at the hands of Chinese unlts who executed a success- ful counter-flanking move- ment, compelling the attack- ers to retreat 200 kilometres.
Not yet in the limelight, but destined to play an important part if the Japanese should actually seek the conquest of Changsha, capital of the Cen- "tral China province Hunan, is Mufushan which sits astride. the highway from Tungcheng. to Pingklang on the Kian gsi- Hupeh-Hanan border.
Lying east of the Canton-Han- kow Railway, it is about equidistant from Wuchang, or Hankow, in the north, Changsha in the south; and
