The British and American press reports
ON possible protests against the laying
OF mines In the waters OF the Lao Tung
peninsula bec6use o fthe danger 70 IN
terhatlonal commerce evoke much in
terest here and are the subject of the
general remark that there was no talk
OF protests while Russian ships were
being blown up, It only beginning after
Japanese ships met with disaster. Gov
ernment circles are inclined to think
the reports OF protests by the powers
are confined 10 the press. Neither the
BRUSH nor the American embassy has
received instructions on the subject,
Inc indications are that IL the question

unit becomes the subject OF a formal

international law, growing out of the
increased range Of modern guns. The
lhree-mlle limit was established I'm the

tne maximum range. but II ships can
now lie eight or ten miles away and
yet reach the coast with their proiec-
tlles, II is argued that the defenders

the range OF the enemys guns,
