JAP POLITICAL FAILURE IN CHINA
CHUNGKING, December 31. A Chinese communique says that friction arose between the Japanese and the Chinese puppet army near Peking. The mediation efforts of the puppet Premier, Wang Ching-wei, failed. Wang was summoned to Peking to intervene between the Japanese troops and General Chi Hsien-yuan's mercenary army in north China, but Chi collected his troops and prepared to resist any Japanese attempt to disarm his men. The communique added that the Japanese have captured Yingshan, 60 miles east of Hankow. Fighting is still raging in the Tapeih mountains north of the Yangtse River. Action has shifted into hilly terrain, giving the Chinese troops some advantage, the Japanese losing more than 1000 men.
