Incident Confirmed

By New Facts

FURTHER AMERICAN

REPRESENTATIONS

Washington, Dec. 18... Official reports have confirmed that Japanese vessels machine- gunned the U.S.S. Panay after she had been bombed by Japanese airmen, announced. Mr. Cordell Hull, the Secretary, for State, to day.

He added that this information, which made the incident more serious than

at first appeared, would be transmitted to the Japanese Foreign Office in the form of representations to supple- iment the facts already set out in the formal note of protest against the bombing.

State Department officials fur- ther assert that it is confirmed that while the Panay survivors were escaping in small boats, Japanese aeroplanes dived and machine-gunned them from low altitudes, wounding two of them. Also that before the Panay sank, some Japanese boarded the ves- sel for five minutes; although the United States colours were flying and were easily discernible.-- Router.

JAPANESE PLAN

Washington, Dec. 16. Omcial reports, which are said describe the deliberate nature of the Japanese attack on the U.S.S. Panay and the machine-gunning

of the survivors, and which are flowing in to the State Depart ment, will. ensure the United States continuing to keep step with Britain in connection with the Far Eastern crisis, it is con- sidered beru.

Hostilities Seen In Troop Movements

SOUTH CHINA THREAT

Shanghal, Dec. 17.

The belief that. Hankow will be the next point of attack by the Japanese is expressed in despatches received here. It is reported that preparations are being made by the Japanese for 'a further advance along the Peiping-Hankow railway.

A despatch issued through Chin- ese sources stated that an attack on Hankow would probably begin The about the end of the month. same message stated that it was more likely the Japanese would also attempt to seize the Canton- Hankow. railway by landing a large army somewhere in South China. Indication that new events are brewing is strengthened as thou- sands of Japanese troops have bearded' transports at Shanghai.

NANCHANG RAIDS

One theory is that although the Japanese hitherto have concen trated on one front at a. time, they mny now seek to launch several simultaneous attacks in various parts of the country. The Japanese evidently believe this is possible because tney go not expect to find such strenuous resistance as encountered in the Shangha!" and Nanking area during the past four months

Nanchang, the capital of Klangsi, seems to come into the field of the Japanese military vision judging by the repeated air raids" there, but tactical problems facing the Japanese are more complex than ever due to the vast areas to be. covered and the great length of front.- Reuter.

A DENIAL

Shanghal, Dec. 17, The Japanese military and na- val authorities emphatically deny

as inconsistent with facts the re-

ports that before the Panay sank she WAS machine-gunned by Japanese in two motor-boats. The survivors of the Panay report that the Japanese boarded the vessels shortly before she went down.

The Japanese maintain there were no Japanese naval or military craft near the Panay when she was bombed.- Renter

London, Dec. 18. The recalling of Vice-Admiral Telzo Mitsunami, and the semi- official announcement that he is to be relleved of his post

At the same time it is not pos- sible to say how far this action will go towards meeting the Br- tish demands. The reply to the British Note as a whole must be awalled.- Reuter.

The continual roaring overhead

the newly-arrived Russian planes, as well as the knowledge that the city is strongly defended by anti-aircraft batteries, appears to have given the Chinese a feeling of confidence. Nevertheless, Japan- ese air raids are expected at any moment and dug-outs are being rushed in readiness for gencies.

Meanwhile, Chinese officials here show no sign of weakening in thel determination to continue re- sistance and it is evident that des- pite the loss of Nanking and the huge casualties suffered by the Chinese army China still possesses considerable resources for a pro- longed struggle.
