HUGE AREA CAPTURED
PHILOSOPHIC CHINESE LONDON, Dec. 15. The Times Peking correspondent states that the Japanese army, six months after the Liukouchiao incident, is in normal possession of over 300,000 square miles of Chinese territory in North China, which is comparable with 363,700 square miles of Manchukuo, or 301,800 square miles, the combined areas of Italy and Germany. This North China area covers the whole of the Hopei, Chahar, and Suiyuan Provinces, about half ol Shansi, and a fair-sized strip of Shantung, the whole of which will undoubtedly be in Japanese hands before the end of the year. The attitude of the 'people of North China towards the invasion is one of philosophic fatalism.
