BRITISH REPRESENTATIONS ON TUNGWO INCIDENT: CHINESE BAYONETED
Shanghai, To-day.
It is learned that the British authorities have made representations to the Japanese authorities against the boarding and detention of the Jar- dine river steamer "Tungwo" by Japanese troops on April 27. ·
The findings of the British inquiry into the inci- dent, which were included in the representa- tions, were:
The "Tungwo" was lying in the Yangtse Estuary when at 1 p.m. on April 26, a party of Japanese went on board her and asked for the cargo permit.
The Japanese then went ashore and had proceeded about 200 yards when some Chinese guerillas open- ed fire on them.
The Japanese, evidently under the impression that someone on board the "Tungwo" had fired on them, went back to the ship and asked the Captain to go on board the Japanese warship.

The Japanese then took the "Tungwo" to Tsung Ming Island and held her there for 24 hours.
During the investigation they struck a bayonet into the chest of one of the Chinese crew who was badly injured. There was no evidence of
any firing from the "Tungwo."--Reuter.
JAPANESE EVASION OF QUOTA SYSTEM
London, To-day.
The Secretary for the Colonies' attention was directed in the House of Commons yesterday to the alleged practice of Japanese firms of importing to the West Indies large quantities of four- yard lengths of printed spun vis- cose rayon fabric, made up as bed- spreads, to which the quota does not apply...
After importation, the bedspreads were unpicked and the resulting. cloth lengths made up as dress goods, thereby evading the quota restrictions upon Japanese cloth im- ports and competing to the detri- ment of Lancashire trade.
Mr. Ormsby-Gore, Secretary for Colonies, said he was enquiring.- Reuter.

NEW ATTACKS
Hankow, To-day. Following their break through the Japanese cen- tre north-east of Taier- chwang, the Chinese forces have launched a vigorous at- tack to drive back the Jap- anese right in order to con- solidate the ground gained, according to Chinese des- patches-from-the-front.
The Chinese positions in south Shantung now resemble the letter W, with the wings reaching Yihsien, on the west, and Tancheng, on the east, with Taierchwang and Pihsien as the. southermost points.
The Chinese advance between Taierchwang and Yihsien on Tuesday brought their centre to a point 20 kilometres north of the southermost points. The Chinese are now stated to be pushing their whole centre fur- ther north in order to level it with the wings.
One Chinese detachment, mov- ing round the Japanese left, is claimed to have reached a point between Tancheng and Linyi, and to have attacked a convoy of 100 Japanese trucks from Linyi laden with provi- sions and military supplies for Tancheng.
The Japanese forces operat- ing on the southern section of the Tientsin-Pukow Railway, Bouth of Hauchowfu and in the vicinity of Pengpu, clashed on Monday with the Chinese at á point north of Longhwaikwan. The engagement followed an attack by the Chinese on the Japanese. positions between Pengpu and Ningkwan. Two villages west of Pengpu were occupied by the Japanese after severe fighting but were later recaptured in a Chinese counter-offensive. Reuter.
