JAPANESE CLAl OF ALL FOES NOW Berlin (from German broad casts), April 18 The Tokyo newspaper Nichi Nichi corected I the Japanese press today on a recent statement that of all Japan's foes the Chinese soidiers are the toughest. The Americans now head Nichl Nichi's list. Earlier the Chinese had been ranged ahead of the Russians (whom the Japanese fought on the Korean bordet in 1938 and on the Manchukuo border in 1939), British, Americans, Aus tralians and Indians. Nichl Nichi said the "weak showing" made by the British and Americans in the east Asia war was the result of the fact that an essential part of their forces consisted of native troops who fought unenthusiastically. In more recent fighting be tween Japanese and United States troops, Nichi Nichi said, the Americans proved to be considerably touiiher than the Chinese when fighting under comparable conditions. The number of refugees In the western part of Free China Is estimated by the Chinese gov ernment at SO million. San Francisco, April 18. (P) Butter, eggs and cheese unchanged. Captured Japs on U. S. Aircraft Carrier III" 1111 1 , . . ;" . i It London, April 18 (PI The zero hour for Hitler's big 1942 gamble has been set back by a dearth of manpower, uneasy home morale, friction within the axis and the combined resist ance of Russian men and Rus sian mud, a responsible foreign informant with wide diplomatic connections said today. "Hitler is late," said this In formant. He gave this outline to support his conclusion: Information both from Ger many, and the rest of the con tinent shows that Hitler is feel ing a real pinch in manpower. First of all, he had to use 40 to SO divisions of his reserve force to stem the Russian winter counter-offensive. Second, to day's Informant said, "we know from prisoners taken In Russia recently that the German re placements are mainly boys of 17 and 18 or elderly men, and we know they are not satis factory." Reports from Polish quarters were said to indicate that this reserve army which Hitler by spring had expected to total 1,500,000 now will not exceed 1,000.000. The German general staff has been calling more and more upon the occupying troops In France and the low countries for service In Russia, and has been seeking to replace these men by semi-casualties and others unfit for front-line fight ing. Prisoners from these west ern garrisons already have been taken in seme quantity in Russia. ' At the same time the Nazis, increasingly worried about al lied continental invasion, are frantically seeking to reinforce coastal defenses on the west. Only today Belgian reports told of Nazi minelaying in fields be tween the rivers Sambre and Meuse, at five or more points. On the German front, today's informant said the most reliable contacts reported that Hit'er is engaged in drafting a special speech for his birthday Monday to bolster morale. In it, he is expected to appeal to the people to forego festivities in his honor and to give him Instead a steady and complete effort for victory in 1942. Three sullen Jap prisoners, captured from a Japanese nary patrol ship during the recant task force attack on Wake Island, glower at their captors. In releasing the pictures, the navy said they were shown aboard a U. S. aircraft carrier which the Japs had previously claimed they had sunk.
