STRONG FORCES
MASSED BY JAPANESE IN MANCHURIA CHINESE CONSCRIPTS MURDERED TO PREVENT LEAKAGE OF SECRETS. ACCORDING TO CHUNGKING STATEMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 11.35 a.m.) CHUNGKING, December 14. One million Japanese troops are now concentrated in the Manchuria region, where Japanese military preparations have increased considerably, says an official Chinese review. The Japanese have built fortifications along the southern bank of the Amur River and the western bank of the Ussuri.
The review says that Chinese conscript workers on Japanese military installations were afterwards killed to prevent a leakage of secrets. Chinese youths are also being forced into military service, ostensibly in the armies of puppet regimes. Actually twothirds of these Chinese conscripts are used for garrison duty. Some have been sent to the South-West Pacific.
