JAP COMMANDER (COK HiniW ynoM wsn* r>ww> December 13 on the British gunboat Ladybird and the Palmy, that lie had orders to fire on all ships ' in the Yangtse regardless of ( nationality. It was denied after-! ward that Hashimoto had any such 1 order. His reported removal from command of the Yangtse river patrol of the Japanese army can not be called a tacit admission that, despite denials. Japanese troops really did fire machine guns on the sinking Panay. It. does mean, however, that ap-1 parently the Japanese high com-' maud is so seriously worried over > foreign complications that It has | removed from his command an | outstanding leader of the ext rem- ! ists—even rebel, according to the' view of foreign experts on the far east. — officers in the Japanese army, whose tenet is that whatever] stands in the army's way must I be crushed. Britain Protests London. Dec. 22— (U.R) —Great Britain protested in a note to, Japan today against an alleged - violation of British territorial waters near Hong Kong on Decern-1 her 11.

Then; two motor boats from the destroy-] -rs entered territorial waters and towed the customs vessel away, I after it had been beached. The British government in the note asked assurances that express' instructions have been issued to Japanese naval forces which will insure full respect for Hong Kong territory.

Build Highway (Copyright 1937 by United Press) Shanghai, Dec. 22—<U.R) —More than 1,000,000 laborer* are rushing completion of a great military highway in central Asia which , would provide a new link between i Soviet Russia and China.

, Bator - Kalgan route which the i Japanese cut. The main section of the highway from Turkestan into west central China would cover 2,000 miles, with the branch to Ulan Bator through Ningsia province of 'approximately an additional 1,000 I miles. , Construction of the new highway, Chinese sources said, is a project so vast that It compares to the building of the great wall.
