ENGLAND'S VICTORY

EIGHT WICKETS TO SPARE

It is pointed out that at no point where the Japan. ese have clashed with the Chinese regulars have the Japanese succeeded in breaking through the lines.

It is feared, however, that the result of this firm GOOD BATTING resistance in Jehol will be an extension of the operations to within the Great Wall

The original Japanese intention of completing the drive to Chengtenfu by March 1 is far from being rea lised. In fact, if the stubborn resistance now being offered by the Chinese forces is maintained, they will not be in Chengtehfu by April 1. The Japanese troops are still faced by heavy obstacles before they reach the Chi- nese main line of defence.

Consequently, it is thought that the Japanese mili. tary command will feel it expedient to create a diversion in North China, south of the Great Wall in order to in- fluence the campaign in Jehol.

GRAPHIC STORY OF

DANISH SHIP COUP

VESSEL CRUISING AN HOUR WITH NO-ONE ON BRIDGE

THREE SHOTS FIRED AT CHIEF OFFICER

Suffering from an abdominal wound caused by pirates when they shot him down on the bridge of the Danish steamer Gustav Diedrichsen two hours after the ship had left Hongkong last evening, Mr. R. A. D. Niel- sen, Chief Officer, is at present a patient in the Kowloon Hospital.

Mr. Nielsen was the only casualty, although three of the Chinese passengers were taken away for ransom when the pirates left the ship at Mirs Bay..

Before leaving, the pirates toke down the ship's wireless aerials and destroyed the receiving and transmitting apparatus, but Mr. Nielsen, who was also the wireless operator, managed to crawl to the wireless room and, although badly wounded, succeeded in effect- ing sufficient repairs to send out S.O.S. signals.

For over an hour the steamer was allowed to pro- céed at full speed with no-one on the bridge, and on one occasion she touched bottom, but eventually she was brought up in Mirs Bay.
