"HE JAPANESE ADVANCE on Canton con- stitutes one of the most remarkable military feats in history.

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 à 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.
