that Japanese land forces have
uppeared at Fung Wang Chang
and at Tshan. No details are
furnished. The first named place
is about 45 miles north of Antung
in Manchuria and the latter is a
few miles inland from tho mouth
of the Ytilu river according to the
calculations of the navul officers

that yesterday's attack on Pert

perhaps to cover this expeditious
land movement of the .Japanese
land forces, who were probably
