Chinese Official Sees Effort to Grab
More Lind for Base.

NANKING. February 9 P).-Lo Wen
Kan, minister of foreign affairs In the
Nationalist government today said
japanese proposals to demilitarize zones
around China's principal ports were
IAN additional effort to gain additional
territory as military base to be used
against the Chinese
Lo described the plan as highly abb
surd," adding there was no analogy be-
tween the present situation in Shang-
hal and that existing in Tientsin in
1902, which was referred to by Toxic.
ITO suggest applying this antiquated
arrangement to Shanghai not only con-
stitutes an attempt to destroy the ad-
ministrative sovereignty of sovereign
nation-which no respectable nation
can tolerate-but also discloses sin
lister intention on the part of the Japa-
nese to extend an area Of which they
may again make use as base for mill
tary operations against Chinese forces
when they should again engage in fur
ther aggression in China"

ator Harry B. Hawes' book, philippine
Uncertainty; an American Problem"
published today by the Century Co. A
foreword is by Senator William z.
Borah
The work is based on the Missouri
Senator's experience on the Committee
On Territories and Insular Affairs and
On his observations during trip to the
Islands in 1881.
The Islands are from a military
point of view the weakest spot in our
armor," he states, adding that under
the four-power treaty of 1922 further
fortification is prevented
The northernmost part of the Philip
pine Islands is only IS miles from the
southernmost point of Formosa, a pos
session of Japan" he says, "one which
she took from China in 1895.
Our Army and Navy in the Philip
pines are 1000 miles from our American
base and 5000 miles from Pearl Harbor,
in Hawaii. The effective cruising dis
tance for naval vessels without trans
port service for refueling is 1000 miles"
Loss Of the islands to a foreign foe
would infiame all America and "our
people would never be satisfied until
they were recaptured,' he writes.

bullets, were SpraWled across the rail-
road tracks nearby, their hands tied
behind their backs
A Japanese officer said the japanese
losses were heavy. in dead and wounded
but he insisted the Chinese losses were
heavier still. The Japanese force at
Woosung was placed at 4,400 by their
own officials.
The village was a wreck. Buildings
that escaped the bombardment by the
warships guns over the week end were
reduced to ruins by the shelling of the
last two days.
