Sydney, Feb. 25. Two quick successes shortly be fore tea to-day put a better com- plexion on the Fifth Test from the Australian viewpoint this afternoon, though with 34% on the board with four wickets to fall, England were still in a good position.

An hour earlier, Australia looked to be in a tight corner, thanks largely to an unexpected display of brilliance by Larwood, who flogged the bowlers nterci- lessly and was very unfortunate to miss his century. He was dismissed after compiling 98.

PEKING, Feb. 25. VAST BODIES OF JAPANESE TROOPS, AIDED BY MANCHUKUO FORCES, ARE NOW ON THE MOVE IN JEHOL PROVINCE ALTHOUGH JAPAN'S GREAT DRIVE IS NOT YET FULLY UNDER WAY.

Official reports from Jehol state that nowhere have the Japanese troops yet come into contact with defence positions held by the Chinese regular forces, the heavy fighting which has occurred so far having been under- taken by the Volunteers.

Military experts acknowledge the wisdom of the Chinese tactics which mean that the Japanese forces will not be offered battle in easy country, but will find the Chinese regulars at full strength in the mountainous and difficult country which lends every aid to the de- fenders and exposes the invaders-to-surprise attacks and ambushes.

The Japanese are now pushing ahead as fast as they are permitted. It is believed that the Japanese drive, which has now developed into three distinct thrusts, one through Kailu, one through Chaoyangfu and one from Suichung, is aimed at the capture of Chihfeng, in the north, and Lingyuan, in the south, the two most vital passes in Jehol Province.

Before either of these passes are reached, the Japanese must dispose of strong Chinese positions, while the passes themselves are well prepared for attack.

The terrible wintry conditions which still exist all over the province are favourable to the Chinese. The hardy Volunteers and the Chinese regulars, who are well accustomed to the conditions are likely to fare much better than the Japanese-Our Own Correspondent.
