These estimates are made to-day by a Chinese military spokesman, who expressed the belief that the remaining Japanese forers in China were insuficient to hold the long lines in Shantung.
"We are doing our ulmost to lengthen this line, for the longer it and becomes, the more scattered

"Should the Japanese decide, how- ever, to concentrate their main push in, let us sny, Shansi, then Shunst will become a second Shantung, and the Tientsin-Pukow aren will become a second Shansi, where the Japanese troops will be forced to give back all but a few isolated points,"
"They have had to do this already in Shansi, because the long battle- front on the Tientsin-Pukow railway in Shantung bus forced them to withdraw all available forces from other provinces."-United Press.
