Early Invasion Of China's
Interior Provinces Likely
SIAN PREPARES FOR JAPANESE HOSTILITIES
Civilian Population Being Evacuated
CHUNGKING, Nov. 20.
VELL-INFORMED observers predict an early Japanese attempt to invade the north-west provinces, probably advancing towards Sian, capital of Shensi, and the strategic railway, highway and airway centre.
Japanese artillery in the southern part of Shansi, on the north bank of the Yellow River bend, are daily shelling Tungkwan, which is an important pass on the south bank, and generally considered to be the gateway to China's north-west.
It is estimated that the Japanese are firing an avorage of 400 shells a day.
In the meantime, Japanese aircraft are subjecting Sian to very severe bombings.
The Chinese authorities are evacuating the civilian popu- lation and are making military
