CHINESE VIEW
SHANHAIKUAN AFFAIR
A PRELIMINARY MOVE TO A GENERAL CAMPAIGN PRIVATIONS IN EXTREME COLD United Press Association—Br Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received 13th January, 11 a.m.) SHANGHAI, 12th January. No possible doubt is left in the minds of Chinese and foreign observers regarding the future intentions of the Japanese. It is now certain that the Shanhaikuan affair is a preliminary move to a general campaign. The Chiumenkow Pass is definitely in the hands of the Japanese, but the terrible privations exerienced by both sides during the fight for the strategic point beggar description. The Japanese, unaccustomed to the cold, fared badly, many being frozen to death. When they captured the first Chinese defences they found hundreds of frozen corpses, many of the victims being unwounded, having died of exposure. The victorious forces are now virtually frozen inside the pass, while the Chinese have retired to more habitable territory.
