Shataukok, 3 p.m.

The possibility that Satur- day's incident when Japan- ese troops infringed on Bri- tish territory explains the failure of the Japanese com- mander to press home the planned offensive against Shataukok, has now emerged. It is believed that further serious action is held up un- til the incident is settled.

Unofficially, it is reported that the Japanese brigadier in command has been taken severely to task and repri- manded from Canton, and there is a possibility that he may be superseded.
