HEROISM OF CHINESE TROOPS AT SHANHAIKWAN

SEVENTEEN HUNDRED NORTHERN TROOPS REPORTED KILLED

[THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]

PRIPING, January 4. TELEGRAPHIC communication with Shanhaikwan was restored

to-day.

Despatches paint a picture of heroism on the part of Chinese troops who clung to their defences in face of a terrifying and de... moralising bombardment from the sea, land and air...

The story of a day of terror spent by the civilian population has yet to be told, but many charred bodies are mate evidence of yesterday's carnage.

When the Japanese lafantry attacks swept over the half-tuin ed city there was fierce hand to hand fighting in the streets in which 308 Chinese troops were killed while defending the smashed South Gate.

Some estimates declare that at least seventeen hundred Chi- nese soldiers were killed, the majority in street fighting before the fall of the city.

Latest reports indicate that in addition to the lines at Chang II, the Chinese Ilues have been reformed within a few miles of Shanhalkwan on the north-west side to cope with any possible Japanese advance towards the upper Lwan River as a path into Jehol.

BRITISH GUNBOATS DESPATCHED TO CHINWANGTAO

PEIPING, Jan. 4. The British gunboats, Bridge- water and Folkestone, have been ordered to Chinwangtao to sale. guard British interests.

It is authoritatively stated that the Chinese troops have now with drawn from Shanhaikwan by rail and are reforming under the pro- tection of an armoured train

Japanese armoured trains are patrolling towards Chinwangtao.

PEIFING, Jan. 4. Admiral Sir Howard Kelly, Com. mander-in-Chief, China Station, I has ordered the British sloops, Bridgewater and Folkestone, to proceed to Chinwangtao to sle guard British interests in the Shan. haikwan area.

TELEGRAPH COMMUNICA-

TION RESTORED "

TIENTSIN, Jan. 4. Apparently all was quiet through- out to-day in the Shanhaikwan area. A single telegraph line has been restored between Chinwangtao and Shauhaikwan, but railway traffic is impossible owing to dam- age to a small bridge across the Tasheho, river:

So far there is to confirmation ol negotiations for the restoration of pence and no movements of Chitteso troops have been reported.

ALL QUIET AT CHINWANGTAO

PRIPING, -Jan. 4 Reliable foreign sources at Chin- wangtao deny, as completely un- founded, the persistent reports of a Japanese bombardment of Chin wangtao this morning and an at tempt to land marines under cover of a bombardment

Chinwangtao remains quiet.

The rumours presumably were Kiven

currency because the three. Tapanese destroyers there this morning saluted H.B. Majesty's Folkestone when she arrived from Chefoo.

M. MATSUOKA VISITS ROME

EXPLAINS JAPAN'S POLICY. TO MUSSOLINI

[THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY. 1

ROME, Jan. 4.

M MATSUOKA explained the

Japanese position in Manchu kuo in an interview with Mussolini last night; the meeting lasting forty minutes.

It is understood that disarma ment was not mentioned,

Although M Matsuoka's visit to. Rome was not official he, availed himself of the opportunity to ex plain Japan's policy to the Italian Government, including a conver sation with Baron Aloisi, Musso lini's chief lieutenant at the For eign Office.

JAPAN'S FRIENDS WORRIED

LONDON, Jan. 4. The Manchester Guardian says that the new Japanese offensive st Shanhaikwan was received with palpable ecern in British diplo matio quarters. What has already happened is bad enough, and there is dread of what may follow. Even the best friends of Japan are begin ning to doubt whether anything more-that does not make an apolo gist ridiculous can now be said in palliation of her conduct.

AMERICA WATCHING

The American capital views tha capture of Shanhaikwan as the beginning of another far-flung Japaness drive in Chinese territory, according to the Washington_cor respondent of the New York Herald Tribune, he adds that the Administration intends to maintain a policy of non-recognition of gains made by violation of existing treaties.

The paper states that the con timintion of dangerous incidents in the Far East is likely to lead to a now approach of a confidential nature with Mr. Roosevelt.
