JAPAN'S INTENTIONS
(Press Assn.-
PRELIMINARY MOVEMENTS IN A GENERAL CAMPAIGN INSIDE THE PASS
— By Telegraph — Copyrlglit)
Shanghai, Jan. 12. No possible doubt is left in the nxinds of Chinese and foreign ohservers regarding the intentions of the Japanese. It is now certain that the Shankaikwan affair was a preliminary move to a general campaign. Chiumenkow Pass is -definitely in the hands of the Japanese, but the terrible privations experieneed on both sides during tbe figbt for tbe strategic point beggar deseription. The Japanese, nnaccustomed to the cold, fared hadly. Many were frozen to death, and when the Japanese captured the first Chinese defences they found hundreds of frozen corpses. Many were not wounded, having died of exposure. The victorious forces are virtually inside the pass, while the defeated have retired to more habitahle territory.
