A RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES IN NORTH CHINA IS IMMINENT. THE JAPANESE MILI- TARY COMMAND IS NOW PREPARING FOR OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS AT CHIUMENKOW PASS, A FEW MILES TO THE NORTH OF SHAN- HAIKWAN.

Japanese infantry and cavalry are already moving against the pass where one of Chang Hsuch-liang's re- giments is reported to be entrenched.

Tokyo. messages allege that four brigades of Chinese troops, acting under orders from Chang Husch- liang, have entered Jehol through Chiumenkow Pass and are constituting a menace to the Japanese lines of com munications from Chinchow to Shanhaikwan.

The Japanese Military Command fears the possible isolation of the Japanese troops at Shanhaikwan and have ordered the new operations with the object of cut- ting the line of retreat of Chang Hsueh-liang's brigade.
