(P) Re port! of renewed Chinese mili tary activity in North China co incided today with unconfirm able but detailed Chinese ac count! of extensive withdrawal of Japanese troops from North China during the past month. These reports, which placed the number of Japanese troops Involved at 100.000 said they were removed from Hopeh, Ho nan and Shansl provinces through the port of Tangku, where they were said to have boarded south bound transports. Some of these troops were said to have been replaced by Man choukuo soldiers under Japan ese officers. The same sources reported wives and children of Japanese railway workers were being re moved from North China areas, presumably due to the shorten Ing and thinning of Japanese defense lines caused by the troop movements.
