Poking, Jan. 7.
A fresh crisis is threatened in the Shanhai- kwan area. Tension has increased to a highly. dangerous point as a result of the despatch of Chinese reinforcements to the sphere of operations.
The Japanese military command is taking a serious view of the Chinese troop movements. and ominous developments are to be feared.
The temper of the Japanese military is expressed in a message which has been conveyed to the Chinese authorities, strongly criticising the movement of Chinese troops "despite Japan's warning.”
This criticism is feared to presage a fresh outbreak of hostilities, particularly as the Chinese continue to send fresh troops insisting that, because of the fear of further invasion, they must reinforce the meagre numbers guarding the approach to Peking and Tientsin.
