TOUGH JAP RESISTANCE
THE BURMA CAMPAIGN
(Rec. 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 1
Japanese" resistance which was even stronger than was generally anticipated, and tremendous natural hazards, have not dismayed the Indian and British troops, who are gradually advancing southwards over the Arakan Hills and the Mayu Range, says the war correspondent of the Associated Press of America in western Burma. Mountains, tidal rivers, virgin jungles, and the enemy's vicious resistance make swift progress impossible. That is why only comparatively few square miles of territory have been, reoccupied.
The Indian and British casualties are officially described as reasonably light. The Japanese casualties have been heavy, but whenever a Japanese falls another always seems to jump into his place.
