Whether the interned ships should be sunk In deep water, or divided among the Allies, was a matter about which there was a difference of opinion; the | strong naval Power advocated sinking. the weaker ones hoped to augment their fleets by including some of the surrendered vessels.

To von Heuter it seemed certain the terms would be severe, and if ie naval clauses were adhered to, Ger- many would be rendered impotent at sea. Would Germany accept such terms? This von Reuter could not tell, but the news which came from Germany suggested that a renewal of the war was more than possible. If the final result was war, and not peace, I would mean that Germany would have to renew hostilities with her once proud fleet in the enemy's possession.

In this respect, it is pointed out that the Japanese themselves were by no means the lightest sufferers and a large section of the cemetery in the British Concession in Tien-honour. He therefore decided to an- tai is

Thus he rid himself of the worst elements among the Sallors' Soviet, and brought back some mes-. sure of discipline to his Fleet.

A "Central News" message states that the anti-British movement has been intensified in Shanghai.

A large placard, which written in Chinese characters the words "Boycott British Goods" has been erected near the Fish Market off Yangisepoo,

under Japanese control. The poster can be seen by all vessels entering or leaving the harbour.
