ALLIES SEIZE BARI AND COSENZA Germans Are Urging Tokyo to Open New Front Against Russia Washington. Sept. 1(5—(AI *) —Speculation about a Japanese attack 011 Soviet Russia revived here today with unconfirmed reports from Chun^kinjr that a border clash—the first reported in some lime—has occurred alo»K the Mongolian frontier. Tla- Chungking report said the incident occurred north nl Pailiug iniai\ a Japanese controlled iniicr Mongolum desert .settlement below the border ot outer Mongolia, which i an autonomous republic dominated by Soviet lUiosia. Pailingmiao is a strategic ba.se position fur the Japanese, if they should be planning a lightning driA' across the Gobi dc.-ert through Ulan Bator, the outer Mongolian capital, to cut tht. trans-Siberian line in the vicinity ol Lake Uakal. For the past several years this region of contact between the Japanese and Soviets has been relatively iiuiet, while incidents frequently alone other sectors of the 3.000-mile-loiiB frontier. Conjecture among experts on Asiatic affairs here is l>y no means unanimous. Ono group holds (hiit the Japanese Will not attack, having enough on their hands already with the growing power ot the Allies in the Pacific and east Asia. Another contend* that while the Japanese well may be concerned about this, they are nevertheless in this war with the (Jcrniatis and mu-t realize that once Germany is liqui dated the Allies can turn their full attention to tl-.c Pacific. And the Germans, this group argues, un doubtedly ore pressing the Japanese for a second front against thP Hus fcians in the east which would di vert much Soviet strength from the advancing lines in the west.
