Japan's Difficulties

London, September 6.

By all accounts, says the Daily Telegraph and Morning Posì in a leading article this morning, the new Japanese offensive along the Yangtse has so far made very slow progress and has failed to take any important strategic points...

The Chinese are putting up a stout resistance." and while, they will doubtless be forced to yield to superior Japanese equipment they should be capable of holding the enemy for a considerable time in the big lake system surrounding Hankow, the paper goes on.

The fall of Hankow doubtless will be only a matter of time, but It is not likely to bring the Japan- ese much nearer to the end of the

war.

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek will merely retire still farther in- land and will be as. elusive as ever and as solidly supported by the sentiment of the nation.

At Hankow the Japanese wil be over 600 miles from their base at Shanghai, and though they will be able to defend, their line of communication on elther side of the river their hold on the rest of the country behind them will remain pro- carious.

True, the fall of Hankow will with China's seriously interfere

to outside munition sup- plies. but it is doubtful if these have been arriving on any im-

Meanwhile, Japan is suffering a heavy strain on her resources and

must anticipate a cumulative in- crease in the strain during what Promises to be a long war-(Reu- ter).
