"MORE REMOTE OBJECTIVES”
Shanghai, To-day.
An announcement by the Japanese military authorities states that the troops landed at Woo- sung and Liuho will "take part in the investment of Shanghai and will then be employed in operations against more remote objectives.
Although the landing of Japanese troops at Woosung, Liuho and Chapoo has been confirmed,
it is rumoured that other large forces have been disembarked at other points, not yet revealed by the Japanese.
The general conjecture is that still more troops will be put ashore at various points, an operation which presents no difficulty to Japan with her com- mand of the sea.
