LEAKAGE OF MILITARY SECRETS

NANKING IMPOSING HEAVY. PENALTIES

LATEST DECREE

Nanking, Jan. 16. The tenacness of the Sino- Japanese situation has led the Government to adopt stringent measures to provent the leakage of military secrets.

From now on, the death penalty or fe imprisonment will be. im posed upon oficials divulging military secrets, while sples and others employing illegitimate means to secure military informa tion will be similarly treated.

Anyone proved to have divulged military secrets unwittingly will be liable to at least five years' Imprisonmont and life imprison- mont if the offence is committed deliberately.

Other penalties include son- tences of from one to seven years' imprisonment for unauthorised persons venturing upon fortifled arens, military barracks, warships, arsenals, etcetera.

SIGNIFICANT ACTION.

The sudden announcement of precautions against the leakage of information is considered signi- deant. It is supposed that the Government has formulated plans for dealing with the threatened Japanese invasion and desires, above all to keep troop movements secret until they have, actually arrived at their desiluation.-- Reuter
