PRESS EMBARRAsSEs TAYLOR.
Admiral at Shanghai Says Reports as
Published Are Garbled.

Admiral Montgomery M. Taylor,
commander In chief of the United States
Asiatic Fleet, has been embarrassed in
his mission at Shanghai by press dis
patches emanating from Washington.
Admiral William v. Pratt, chief Of
naval operations. said today.
Admiral Pratt's statement, made public
by the department follow:
Admiral Taylor has complained to
me that his dispatches to the depart
ment have been reported out OF WASH
ington in such a manner as to embar-
rass his attempts to perform his mis-
sion at Shanghai Facts which he has
sent to the department and which we
have given to the press apparently have
been garbled by the time they appeared
in print in the foreign press. This is
due either to interpretations placed by
the press on the facts released, or to
errors in the transmission Of the press
from Washington to newspapers abroad.
I'm either case, the result is that
Admiral Taylor has been misquoted at
the scene Of his activities by cable dis
patches emanating from Washington
1 am particularly anxious to avoid en-
barassing Admiral Taylor in any way
in carrying out his present mission,
which places so much responsibility OH
his shoulders.
1.-THE department will continue t.
give facts on the situation to the press.
but I do not believe the releases OF
these facts should be subjected to
pfraseology which will embarrass Ad-
miral Taylor. We are not playing ia
vurites In the Sino-Japanese situation
In our release Of facts to the press. We
give the facts as they come to us with
out placing any Interpretation upon
then." -.....

SHANGHAI, February 11.-You can
take it from Pvt. w. H. LAWN, United
States Army, formerly Of Cornucopia,
Wy, that Gen. Sherman had the wrong
slant on this war business.
In fact, says Pvt. LAWN, war isn't
half bad, and he speaks with a meas
ure of authority. Although he has had
only nine months with the Army. as
a member of the I'd Battalion, 3lst In

outfit took over part OF the Interna-
tional Settlement defense line.
A Lone Guard.
Pvt. LAWN was standing lone guard
inside sandbag pill box when the As
sociated Press correspondent came
across him. He was cold but cheerful,
and not indisposed to hash up little
philosophy.
"You can tell the folks back home I'm
having the time of my life" Pvt. LAWN
grinned, shifting from one foot to the
other.
ITS a little colder here than in
Manila, where our outfit had been sta
toned, and there's not so much night
life, but there's action, and that's what
I Joined up for" he said.
i've done a lot Of travelling all right
First they sent me to Manila and Just
when / was getting used to the tropics
they shipped me up here, where its
nearly as cold as Cornucopia. There's
been no leave since We got here and
the quarters aren't as comfortable-and
too, we've been getting q lot Of 'corned
bully But I'm not kicking. This war
makes up for lot.

BOYCOTT START
OF WAR. ON CHINA
TSurumi, Japanese Liberal,
Says End Will Come When
Spirit Is Broken.
BY Associated Press STAFF Writer.

bJ hSSOCldIeu PTeSS Stau WrlLer.
NEW YORK, February Il.-China's
boycott Of Japanese goods was the sole
motivation" Of the Shanghai invasion,
Yusuke Tsurumi, Japanese Liberal
leader, said last night, adding difi-
culties will be over when the Canton
spirit is broken"
When that occurs, he said, Toxic
hopes to effect reasonable compro-
mise" with the Marking government,
though, he said, he did not believe
any faction will get everything it
Tsurumi, fresh from Toxic for a six
week lecture tour, was saddcned at news
OF the assassination of former Finance
Minister 1nouye, lone Of the last men
with whom talked in Japan"
Martyr to Moderation.
"Inouye was . martyr to the cause
OF moderation" he said. His death
may cause a public reaction that will
achieve the things for which he fought"
Carefully he explained Japans posi-
ton in Manchuria, Shanghai, Nanking.
But always he referred to "Japan's YER
sion"
"Japan's version Of the Shanghai af-
fair" he said, lis that the boycott is
not spontaneous movement by the
masses.
THE japanese government contends
Japan has been made the scape-
goat-to foment nationalism. A few
individuals (this was taken as referring
to the Canton elemenD have stirred the
people against Japan.
Japan believes the boycott was To-
mented because these leaders did not
believe Japan would fight for its rights
They believe that once Japan takes
firm stand the same spellbinders who
stirred the people against Japan will set
to work to undo the boycott. Japan is
now taking that hrm stand
The government insists that Japa-
nese marines were fired upon first, that
Japan has never taken the aggressive
attitude"
What would happen" an interviewer
asked, If some other country-America
for instance-should institute a boy
colt? Would Japan's attitude be the
same as toward China?"
"Ah," he exclaimed, there is an i'm
portant point. In that CONTINGENCY we
would treat with Washington directly
But in China, Japan contends there is
no government with which to negoti-
ate"

RICHMOND WOMAN
FLIES NANK|NG
Possibility of Shanghai Evac-
uation Called Remote
by Officials Here.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Diplomatic activities In the onset
between Japan and China settled into
a status of watchful waiting today in
face of developments at Shanghai and
Nanking that added a new tenseness
to the situation.
Consul General WHY'S R. Peck at
Marking reported to the State Depart
ment that several Americans, British
and Germans were leaving that former
capital of the Chinese Nationalist gov
ernment for Shanghai.
Americans Depart.
Among the Americans listed as de-
parting from Marking for Shanghai by
steamer were Mrs. w P. Roberts and
her four children of Princeton. N. j.;
Mrs. z. Marx, Indianapolis; Mrs. B.
M. Sims Richmond. Va: Miss L. S.
Hammond, Chicago, and Mrs. E. Hykes,
Reading, Pa.
Peck said several Americans reported
III Marking at one time were not there,
but were understood to be in Shanghai.
They were A. Chinn. Butte, Mont;
Miss j. L. Wolcott. Spirit Lake. Iowa;
Miss r. Chester, New York; Miss NJ
Scharle. Berkeley. Calf: DR.. Pendleton
(probably DR.. r. L. PendletonD, Los
Angeles, and Miss A. Radomsky,
Shanghai.
The consul general said Miss R. A.
Naylor: formerly of Nanking. was at
Luho, Kiangsu.
He reported that upon the advice Of
the British consulate, most of the Brit
ish women and children we're evacuat-
ing Nanking: that 19 German women
and children had already left and that
the remainder of the German commu-
nifty, approximately so men and women,
were prepared to leave at a moments
notice
Although prepared to evacuate Amer
leans from Shanghai if it becomes
necessary, State Department officials
said today the possibility Of such an
evacuation seemed as remote as it did
when troubles first began in the Chi
nese port.
Undersecretary Castle said the de-
partment had heard nothing from
Japan on the report that the latter
might send special envoy to the
United States to explain the japanese
position in Manchuria and Shanghai.
Ship Delayed Eight Days.
Corsul General Cunningham reported
from Shanghai no merchant ships were
leaving or entering the harbor at night
and said one American ship, the Golden
River. had been delayed in port for
eight days.
A report came to the Navy from Col.
r. S. Hooker, commanding the United
States Marines at Shanghai. telling Of
the deaths caused by Japanese bombs
dropped into the International Settle
ment.
Hooker said three Japanese planes
first flew north over the Marine regi-
mental area and opened machine gun
fire at an angle of As degrees on Chi
nese emplacements in the north banks
of Soochow Greek.
Later two japanese planes flying
north were seen to release a bomb
while over the settlement. This struck
the mill.
Admiral Montgomery M Taylor COM
mander of the Asiatic feet. said the
Japanese had issued orders against fur
ther flying that would endanger the
settlement.

JAPANESE BOMB
FLOOD REFUGEES
81 Persons, Including Women
and Children, Killed by
Toxic Airmen.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, February 11.-Charges
that Japanese aerial bombers killed 81
Chinese flood refugees, men, women
and children, in refugee camp in
Chapel last week, were filed today with
Japanese Consul General Mural by Sir
John Hope-Simpson, director Of the
National Flood Relief Commission.
The bombardments, Sir John said,
occurred February and 6. The flood
relief directors long protest reached aSae,a
the same time the Japanese planes
were bombing the Wingon Cotton Mill
in the International Settlement, in part
Of which detachment Of United States
Marines were billeted.
without Military Advantage.
Sir John contended the bombing Of
the refugees camp was unnecessary
first raid. he said, resulted in the kill
ing Of a woman and q boy and the
wounding of four other Chinese, one OF
whom died later.
The next day. he said, the planes
again dropped bombs on the camp
killing 48 people. many of them women
and most Of whom were patients in the
camp hospital. The planes returned
twice again on February 7, he said
and bombed the camp both times. but
the refugees had been evacuated the
night before.
Bombing Worse Than Crime.
This bombing was worse than a
crime" the flood relief directors state
ment said; 1T was folly. 1t could not
possibly have had any military advan-
tage for the japanese"
Copies of the protest were sent tc
United States Consul General Edwin s
Cunningham, dean Of the consular
body, with the request that they be de-
livered to the consuls of other nations
here and that another copy be sent to
the mayor Of Greater Shanghai.
The camp contained 10.399 refugees
before the Shanghai fighting began on
January %.

for his later determination to enter the
consular service himself.
Shortly after returning to America
and amazing his father with his deci-
sion, Mr.. Grew got his first chance to
enter the foreign service. Edwin Nor
gan, now United States Ambassador to
Brazil, was going to Korea as consul
general and wanted two secretaries. Mr.
Grew missed this opportunity because
some misinformed persons led the om-
cials to believe the young man was
very deaf"
