These are the passage of 100, 000 Japanese troops to the French Indo-China-Yunnan border and the use of the Hanoi-Dongdang route.

A Hanoi report says that owing to the present rainy season, large- scale Japanese military operations may have to be postponed to the |þeginning of October. Most of the highways in French Indo-China are now muddy.-Central News,
