TYPHOON Japanese Base in Korea
DUE TO PASS COLONY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
IF THE TYPHOON STRIKES HONGKONG, IT IS EXPECTED TO DO SO EITHER DURING THE TIFFIN HOUR OR IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS WAS INDICATED AT THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY THIS MORNING SOMETIME AFTER THE NO. 9 SIGNAL HAD BEEN HOISTED. However, obSERVATORY OFFICIALS WERE INCLINED TO THE VIEW THAT THE TYPHOON WILL PASS CLOSE TO HOngkong, but THAT WE SHALL NOT RECEIVE THE FULL FORCE OF THE STORM,
During the morning the gale increased in strengthị and at 8.30 a wind velocity of 84 miles per hour was registered. The previous strongest gust was 77 m.p.h. at 5.49 to-day.
The typhoon appears to have maintained a 'steady course and at 9 o'clock was estimated to be about 30 miles southeast of the Colony, heading NNW. If this direc- tion is maintained, the storm will probably pass close by Hongkong.

Special to the "Telegraph"
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (UP),—Mr Kilsoo Haan, re- presentative of the Chinese-Korean League to-day sent a letter to Mr Cordell Hull, Secretary of State drawing his attention to the Japanese buse at Rashin, Korea, which is only 150 air miles from Vindivostok, the key port for United States shipments of petroleum products to Russia.
Mr Haan told Mr Hull that the Japanese have stationed 50,000 troops, 350 planes and twelve submarines at Rashin from Japan Proper.
Rushin is now one of the three largest and most strate- gic bases in the Japanese Empire, Russia's only ice-free harbour in the North Pacific is at the mercy of the Japanese war machine unless America and Russia take the military initiative.
