in Chinese territory.
The attack, in which some 80 to 100 Italians, including naval men, parti- cipated, was made during the screen- ing of the Russian Alm, "Abyssinin." It is alleged that a signal was given for the attack by Signor Romolo Angelino, Italian Commercial Coun- sellor.
Shots were fred during the dis- turbance, in which damage estimated at $25,000 was done.
The Chinese protest points out that the attack was an organised affair,
and indicates that the punishment of those responsible is demanded.

East and Far East, General Sir Alexander John Godley told a Telegraph representative before he left to spend TOMORROW the week-end at Canton, that the military activity he had seen pleased him very much.
"It is splendid, the way things are going ahead," he added. "Hongkong is already a great fortress of the Empire. I hope that one day it'will be as impregnable as Gibraltar."
Asked which country be considered the greatest threat to peace at the moment, the General tactfully refrained from names. "I don't think anybody wants to go to war now. Britain is re-arming simply to hold her own and she is going about it thoroughly."
"No, I could not say which fighting |
