ONE MILLION JAPS
VAST ARMY IN MANCHURIA , (Recd. 7.30 p.m.) Chungking, pec. 14. A million Japanese troops are now concentrated in Manchuria, txjiere the Japanese military preparations have increased considerably, says an official Chinese review. The Japanese have built fortifications along the southern bank of the Amur River and on the western bank of the L’ssuri. The review says that Chinese conscripts, who worked on Japanese military installations, were afterwards killed to prevent any leakage of information. Chinese youths are also being forced into military service, ostensibly in the armies of the puppet regimes, but actually two-thirds ol these conscripts are used for garrison duty. Some have been sent to the South-west Pacific.
