The Japanese carrier appeared off Shinkouso, on the southern Shantung coast near the Klang-

Late yesterday, the carrier suddenly sailed for Lienyunkang and sent six observa- tion planes to reconnoftre over the area around the harbour Im- mediately on arrival.

The carrier seized several Chi- nese fabing Junks in the harbour. All traffic between Tsingtao and Haichow has been stopped.---- Central News.

IMPORTANT DECISION

Britain To Hold On In Shanghai

THE

CHINESE WAR

Britain is to hold on in Shang- hal. This is probably the most important of

the reported de- cisions of a recent meeting be-

tween the Prime Minister, Mr. Eden. and Lord Halifax. It is a wise decision, even ar Levitable one if we are to escape the danger of losing our position in the busiest of the Treaty ports. To a very great extent modern Shanghai is the creation of British enterprise. says the "Manchester Guardian." With the French and Americans

and the mercantile Chinese-we had laid the foundation of its Immense prosperity long before Japan was in any condition to in- terest herself in such matters. the Yet if Shanghat falls into hands of the Japanese armed forces they may be disposed to recognise only existing facts. One of these facts should be the pre- sence of British and French gar- rigons in the Settlement and Con- cession, and of European civilians who have stood to their posts in defiance of danger.

COMMANDER A CANTONESE.

Shanghai, Sept. 13. It is now revealed that the com- mander of the beleaguered bat- talion at Paoshan, which was wiped out following 48 hours of incessant bombardment by Japanese land and havai forces "on September 5 to 7, was a native of Kwangtung.

Central News,

Major Yac was only 29 years of age and was greatly admired and esteemed by his comrade officers He was unmarried and his men. and is survived by his 60-year-old father. Central News:

It does not seem, however, as if Japan had so far made any very striking military progress in the Shanghai region. Her equipment on land is probably far superior to. that even of Chiang Kai-shek's best drilled armies. Her complete command of the sea has allowed her warships to shell Shanghai unimpeded and to protect her landing parties. But when her troops have met the Chinese in force they seem to have been held up "pretty completely. Unless the Chinese armles can be taken in the rear. which may not be easily done, the battle for Shanghal seems likely to be prolonged. While it lasts the devastation of the city will continue.

HARDER NUT TO CRACK L It is plain, indeed, that the Japanese have a. far harder nut to crack than they had even in 1932, when the fighting at Shang- hal ended in something remark- ably like, a military "draw." The proclamation of a partial blockade over 1,000 miles of the Central- and South Chinese coasts may be a proof that this fact is recognised in Tokyo. On the face of things

Moreover, Canton with its railway and the British colony of Hong Kong are the vitally important shipping centres south of Shang- hai.

The blockade affects neither: It could only be applied to Houg Kong if Japan was ready for an open break with Britain, and that she is scarcely likely to risk.
