TWO SHANSI TOWNS Shanghai, Nov. 27.

The Japanese army authorities continue to press for recognition of the right to enter the International Settlement to the south of Soochow Creek, ostensibly in order to have a short cut for their troops and supplies destined for Nantao.

There is increased apprehension over the Japanese intentions in view of the widely circulated, though at present unconfirmed rumours, that the Japanese army intends to occupy the whole of the Settlement as from December 1-Reuter.

Chinese travellers from Chengting have confirmed the slaughter of cight Catholic missionaries and one Czech organ repairman at Chengting on October 9, apparently at the hands of Manchukuo troops, following the capture of Chengting.

The massacre occurred despite the fact that a Japan- ese officer called on the mission which was inside the city, assured the Bishop of protection, and posted a notice on the gate of the mission that the inmates were to remain unmolested.
