JAPANESE SEAMEN PATROL SHANGHAI AS TENSION RISES

“Far Stronger Measures

EMBASSY WARNING FOLLOWS

MURDER OF

BLUEJACKET

Shanghai, Sept. 23.

Japanese patrols to-night crossed the International Settlement's boundary into Chinese territory and approximately 500 bluejackets are patrolling the Japanese district of Hongkew and the adjacent Chinese administered section of the city, Chapei.

A Japanese Embassy spokesman declared:

"Our indignation at this latest outrage is unbounded. We can no longer trust the Chinese assurances and must regretfully take whatever steps we consider suitable."

Throughout the night Japanese officials here have been preparing to follow the sternest policy. The Japanese Acting Consul-General, Mr. Terasaki, has sent a note to the International Settlement's Municipal Council and also the Shanghai Municipal Government asking co-operation in the search for the murderers of the Japanese seaman, who was shot down by unidentified gunmen last night, and whose two companions, also bluejackets, were wounded.

It is reliably learned that the commander of the permanent Japanese Naval Landing Party in Shanghai, is preparing to announce to-morrow independent measures for the protection of Japanese nationals.

The present Shanghai force at his command is less than 2,000, but 4,500 reinforcements are due to arrive to-morrow morning aboard H. I.~JM. S. Muroto-

Grave Situation

-Nanking. Sept. 23.

On receipt of the news of the out- rage in Shanghai, in which unknown gunmen shot and killed one Japanese bluejacket and wounded two more last night, the Japanese Ambassador to China, Mr. Kawagoe, imediately threatened to leave Nanking.

In a brief statement, he said: "There is a dark shadow over Sino-Japanese relations,

The Lettist Government in span is approaching a desperate crisis. Rignusts are threatening at present to cut on the Toledo army from Madrid. and thereaiter to take the capitat at their leisure,

Indications are that the Kigntists are contemplating, first, a drive upon Toledo, thereafter isolating the Leftist besiegers of the Alcazar; secondly, de- ́ feating these besieged; thirdly, advancing east and north-east and severing the Madrid-Valencia railway, and simultaneously attacking Madrid from the west, north, north-east and south.

The Leftists' counter-plan appears to be, firstly, to capture the Alcazar; secondly, to safely remove the besiegers in case the attack fails; thirdly, to dispatch the Alcazar forces to attack the rebels as they advance on Madrid, and thereafter London, Sept. 23.

MOMENTOUS DECISION TAKEN AT GENEVA

Geneva, Sept. 23.

It is reliably learned that the Credentials Com- mittee of the League of Nations Assembly has decided that in the circumstances there can be no point in appealing to the Hague Court for a ruling regarding the validity of Ethiopia's credentials, since it is learned, in any case, that the Ethiopians would continue to sit in the Assembly. A ruling would merely complicate the issue. It is therefore believed the Credentials Committee will simply recommend that the delegation continue to sit and enjoy the rights of membership.

The decision of the Committee applies only to the présent session and in no way prejudices future action. It was decided not to appeal to the Hague Court since no decision could be reached before the Assembly rose. -Reuter.
