the Chinese cut the railway to pre- yent the Japanese moving troops into Yunnan except with slow progress through the mountains where the rouds are few and poor.

Well-informed quarters in Kweilin declare the Japanese agreed to the landing of Japanese troops at Hai- phong and allowing them passage along the railway line, but stipulated that not more than 30,000 should be landed so that the number would not exceed two thirds of the French Carrison in Tonkin. They also agreed to allow the Japanese to use the Hanoi. airport.

The Japanese, however, insisted on landing 120,000 men and therefore the negotiations cume to a deadlock. They are now dragging on and a conclusion is expected this week.- United Press.
