THE JAPANESE ARE NOW MOVING THEIR TROOPS INTO POSITION FOR THE ATTACK ON JEHOL. IT IS NOW FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THE MAIN DRIVE WILL BE LAUNCHED THROUGH KAILU IN THE NORTH-EAST THOUGH THERE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE DIVERSIONS ELSE- WHERE.
Reliable reports from several sources reveal that nearly twenty thousand Japanese troops are now await- ing the order to move forward opposite Kailu, where the Chinese defence preparations are being speeded up.
The belief that the Far East will shortly be plung- ed into the most serious crisis since the Russo-Japanese War if the Japanese invade Jehol, and they obviously intend to do so in the next few hours, is shared by many well-informed neutral diplomats here. It is the general opinion that once hostilities break out they cannot be stopped when they reach the Great Wall, if the Japanese get that far.-Our Own Correspondent. ZERO HOUR NEARING
