Japanese garrisons along the border from Namtau

to Shataukok have been considerably reduced.

Yesterday, according to trustworthy

sources, seven Japan transports were YUGOSLAV

observed in Taishan Bay. Japanese motor-boats, of which there are a large number in the bay, were con- veying Japanese troops from Namtau to transports.

This morning at about 9 a.m. Japanese troops continued em- barking when a fresh transport arrived.

The destination of the troops was not ascertainable.
