Tokyo, June 7. Amoy Island's pre-war population of 120,000 has been reduced to 18,000, it is revealed here.

Nearly everyone has fled from the Island, some seeking sanctuary on Kulangsu, in the foreign concessions, others fleeing to the mainland,

Japanese naval authorities strenu- ously deny that the population has been reduced in any way other than by evacuation. Nor, slates a Jupan esa naval spokesman, has the city been reduced to ashes, the Japanese landing party occupying the island so rapidly that only a few bulidings were destruyed.

protest specificnily second deals with the bombing on Monday of the Paul Doumer Hospital, which was severely damaged when it was struck by two bombs.

The Petit Partsien states that the French Ambassador in Tokyo has been instructed to call the Japanese Government's attention to the fact that the hospital had the French natima tricolor prominently painted on the roof, and that the latter must have been clearly visible to Japanese airnen.

Le Journal also stresses that it is diffult to believe that the Japanese aviators did not recognise the hospital, since it is situated in its own grounds outside the city.

Le Journal adds that the French Ambassador has been instructed to express to the Japanese Government the dupation fell in Franer at the bombardments of Canton, which have violete not only all international clights but also the elementary prin- emples of humanty --Trans-Ocean..
