ARMY TO-DAY

Invaders Agree To Four Non-Combatant Zones

THE JAPANESE ADVANCE on Canton con- stitutes one of the most remarkable military foats in history,

It was made possible only by extensive use of mechanisation, the dropping of supplies and provisions from the air by parachute and the astonishingly poor resistance of the Chinese defenders.

In nine days the Japanese covered a distance of 135 miles, an average of 15 miles a day.

The first occupation appears to have been made by a detachment, numbering only a few hundred men, which pushed up the Canton-Kowloon Railway from Sheklung, which fell last Monday.

The main Army of 30,000 men did not reach the city until shortly after 5 p.m.

The Army encamped in Tung-the Pearl River by boatmen who are shan, the garden suburb where still unperturbedly plying for hire, Canton's most palatial mansions and are making on exodus in are built, during last night,
