FAMOUS HOTEL DESTROYED

#

Shanghai, Dec. 11. A message from Nanking states that the Bridge House Hotel was struck by a shell-to-day and set on fire and completely destroyed.

The hotel, which is situated near the terminus of the Shanghai- Nanking Railway, is one of the oldest in Nanking.

Many distinguished travellers had stayed at the hostelry, the proprietress of which, an English woman named Mrs. C. Sim evacuated with other Britons on December 9.

It is belleved that the Duke of Kent, then Prince George, stayed at the hotel when he visited Nan- king while a naval officer on the China Station,— Reuter.

The Japanese newspapers state at hostilities will go on with the

il of Nanking.

The "Kokumin Shimbun" says that the fall of Nanking will mean "collapse of the Nanking admin- istration but will imposo heavier responsibilities on Japan in con- nection with protructed hostilities."

The "Yomiuri Shimbun" says that Japan "eannot be satisfied with a patched-up peace or an in- conclusive, measure as long as the

Kuomintang, whose abiding prin- ciple consists of antagonising and excluding Japan, remains in power, even if Mr. Wang Ching-wei re- places General Chiang Kai-shek.”

The "Nichi-Nich congratulates the Japanese forces who have reached Nanking, "which has dis- | turbed peace and order in the Far East for the past ten years na the base of anti-Japanese. opera- tions."

The journal, however, emphus- ises the necessity or following to the victory, “

The "Hochi Shimbun" analyses the Chinese. Inclination for pro- the opinion that this is due partly tracted hostilities, and expresses
