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- ment the facts already set out in the formal note of protest against the bombing.

A despatch issued through Chin- ese sources stated that an attack on Hankow would probably begin about the end of the month. The 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

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 dying and were easily discernible.-- Heuter.

JAPANESE PLAN

Washington, Dec. 16. Official reports, which are said describe the deliberate nature of the Japanese attack on the U.S.8. 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 here.

trated on one front at a time, they may now seek to launch several simultaneous attacks in various parts of the country. The Japanese evidently belleve this is possible because they do 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

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 Japanese maintain there were по Japanese naval or military craft near the Panay when she was barabed- Reuter

ADMIRAL'S RECALL

London, Dec. 18.

The recalling" of Vice-Admiral Telzo Mitsunami, and the semi- official announcement that he is to be relieved of his post as Japanese naval commander on the Yangtse, is regarded in London as a hopeful sign in the right direc- tion, says Reuter's diplomatic cor- respondent.

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 awaited.- Reuter.

The continual roaring overhead of 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 their determination to continue rê- 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- ionged struggle.

1500 FOREIGNERS The foreign population here is estimated to be 1,500 of whom about 800 are British, including à number of women and children Reuter
