the newspapers, and official quarters as well, indicate that,Nanking's fighting forces are massing along the Lunghai Railway.
In the event of these troops proceeding northwards Japanese circles believe a serious clash with certain elements in the North Provinces is inevitable.
Asked whether the Japanese authorities would take military setion in such an eventuality, a spokesman for the Foreign Office said:

Asmara, Nov. 17.
The most important "nut-cracking" operation the Italian northern armies have yet undertaken in Ethiopia, is in full swing along the Takkaze River line.. Two strong columns of native troops are sweeping to- gether in an attempt to crush heavily armed, bands of night raiders in this region who have been worrying the Italian advance positions.
The latest reports state that the Ethiopians are re- treating slowly, offering occasional resistance.
It is stated that the irregular native troops are proving of the utmost value.
The Italians participated in five battles prior to the present big operation, successfully employing the same tactics used in big game hunting.
