On Marine Force
Washington, December 7,
Neither the State nor Navy Departments could confirm reports today that a contingent of United States marines was on its way to Shanghai.
They stated, however, that the commander at Tsingtao, the American naval base in North China where 4,850 marines are now stationed, had full authority to make such a move.
The garrison of 3,600 marines stationed in Tsingtao before the current military reverses suffered by the Chinese Government forces was recently reinforced by 1,250 marines from Guam,
A State Department spokesman anid: "The United States Commander at Tsingtao has full authority to move his forces in order to protect property and prevent disorders, though there is no word in yet from China In- dleating that such a move to Shanghai is, in fact, being made."—Reuter.
