TERRITORY CAPTURED.
JAPANESE ARMY ADVANCE. (Times Cables.) Received December 16. 11.15 a.ra. LONDON, Dec. 15. Tlie Peking correspondent of the Times states that the Japanese army, six months after the Liukoucliiao incident, is in nominal possession •of over 300,000 square miles of Chinese territory in North China, which is comparable to 363,700 square miles of Manclmkuo or 301,800 square miles of the combined areas of Italy and Germany. This North China area covers the whole of the Hopei, Cliahnr and Suiyuan provinces, and about half of Shansi, a fair-sized strip of Shantung, the whole of which undoubtedly will be in Japanese hands before the end of the year. The attitude of the people of North China towards t]ie invasion is one of philosophic fatalism.
