LONDON FEARS FIGHTING

IF DEMANDS NOT MET

TIENTSIN COMPLETELY IN HANDS OF JAPAN TROOPS

London, June 12.

Reports from Peiping state that the new Japanese demands have caused a semi-panic and have resulted in the exodus of crowds of civilians to the South. It is reported that the Japanese intend to give an aerial demonstration over the city to-morrow (June 13). Police have warned the population to remain calm. Midnight has passed without any overt action to enforce the ultimatum.

According to additional reports received here late this evening, the Sino- Japanese situation is now more serious than ever. The growth of tension follows upon additional Japanese demands upon, China, which are a sequel of the vigorous Japanese protest to Nanking over the detention and imprisonment of four Japanese "special service men" at Changpei, Charhar, and the alleged anti-Japanese movement there.

Japanese military authorities are reported to be insisting on a Chinese reply to the latest demands by midnight to-night. The Chinese Government has re- portedly warned General Ho Ying-ching Minister of War, now in Peiping, to refuse to comply with this new ultimatum.
