bird Case.
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Dec. 28.-Foreign Minister
Koki Hirota tonight delivered to
British Ambassador Sir Robert Leslie
Craigie Japan's reply to protest
against japanese attack on the British
gunboat Ladybird.
The text OF the note was not made
public. but the military section of
imperial headquarters issued a state
ment saying the attack was mis-
take" and expressing regrets. One
sailor was killed in the attack.
Military's Explanation.
The militarys explanation follows:
On December IL Japanese detach-
ment. anxious to aid in the capture of
Nanking, crossed the Yangtze River
north of TAPPING and advanced toward
Pukow. Because of a previous warning
they thought foreign nationals had
evacuated the zone of fighting.
Observing more than 10 large
steamers fleeing up-river. the japanese
high commander believed them to be
retreating enemy forces and ordered
the artillery to fire on them; but the
shells did not reach the ships. which
escaped. Thereupon he ordered
japanese units at Wuhu to attack
them.
Fired on Four Steamers.
A detachment after forced night
march opened fire on four large
steamers. Observing the steamers
sending up dense smoke, the japanese
decided they were trying to hide in
smoke screen. japanese shells
struck Two steamers. the others es-
capped. One vessel advanced toward
the Japanese forces. whereupon a
British flag was detected and an order
given to cease firing. When it reached
the wharf it proved to be the Ladybird.
The same night through a mistake
one shell was fired on ship hosting
the British flag, but did not strike it.
This proved to be the gunboat Bee.
Rear Admiral Holt. the British consul
and several officers landed. The
japanese commander explained it was
a mistake. He said it was his duty to
sink all enemy vessels and that he
did not know the ships were British.
The japanese note was given to
Ambassador Craigie after Hirota re-
ported details of the governments in
vestigation to the Emperor.

TWO ROADS ASKED

Prince Georges Urges State

UPPER MARLBORO. Md, Dec. %.
In an effort to relieve trafic con-
gestion on holidays and week ends at
the Bladensburg Peace Cross, the
Prince Georges County Commissioners
today asked the State Roads Commis-
sion to build two roads from the De.
fense highway to the Baltimore bou-
levard.
Commissioner Joseph o. Blandford
said the board left the selection of the
roads to be built largely to the discre-
ton of the State commission. It
specified, however, hat one lead into
Northwest Washington and the other
into the Northeast section of the city.
1t was suggested that the route into
Northwest Washington follow Finn's
lane and Jefferson avenue extended
into Riverdale. thence via Madison
avenue to the Baltimore boulevard or
University drive. In general the board
asked that the roads branch from
the Defense highway a mile or more
from the Peace Cross. Mr.. Blandford
said the proposed extension of New
York avenue also may be considered
in conjunction with selection of the
proper route to link Northeast WASH
ington and the Defense highway. He
asserted the board had stated its views
to District Engineer Joseph CLANCY of
the State Roads Commission.
1T is our contention that the roads
are needed to care for an -increas-
ing volume of through traffic originate
ing in Washington and elsewhere out
side the county and therefore should
be built by the State. County funds
are needed for roads used more by
local people," Mr.. Blandford stated.

is picked up by Shirley.
 Unhappy at the post under the gruf discipline of the colonel, Shir- ley decided to win his affection by becoming a soldier, and Fichael Whalen, a young lieutenant who has taken fancy both to her and her mother, puts her under the care of the burly sergeant, Victor McLaglen. The latter dubs her Wee Willie Winkie," because of the quaint way she has of screwing up her eyes when she asks questions.
 Shirleys attempts to impress her grandfather only land her in more troubls, but she wins the gratitude of the imprisoned Khoda Khan when she returns his amulet. The proud chieftain is freed in a surprise raid by the PathanS, and the border blazes in crimson war fare, which costs McLaglen's life, among others.
 Because she feels that both Khoda Khan and her grandfather would remain at peace If they could, Shir- ley takes a desperate stop to end the bloodshed and sets out at night for the Khyber Pass lookout of the tribesmen. When they discover her loss, the Highlanders set out grimly for Khyber Pass determined to rescue her or die in the attempt With the lives of those she loves at stake, Shirley makes one last des- perate gesture to save them and bring peace, in @ remarkable se- quence which brings the picture to @ thrilling climax.
 Ceasar Romero, Constance Collier and young Douglas Scott have prom inent roles in the film.

C'YPERKINS
YIELDING ON
DEPORT ACT

Secretary Of Labor Perkins was
reported today to have finally
abandoned a three-year effort to
jam through Congress a stay of
deportation for some $500 alien
immigrants now in the United
States illegally, by linking this
legislative proposal with other i'm
migration measures to which there
is no objection.
In the last two sessions of Con-
greSs 1t has been the strategy Of
the Labor Department to include
the provision covering these so
called distress cases" in an omni-
bus bill in which were grouped fur
ther proposals designed to tighten
up the laws relating to immigra-
tion and naturalization. The par
ticular bait dangl-1 before Con-
gress in connection with the re-
quests for discretionary power to
exempt them was a provision plac-
ing further restrictions on new i'm
migration.
Opposed by Labor
Organized laA ", as represented
by the American Federation of
Labor, has opposed the Perkins
program to allow the illegal
entrants to remain in the United
States.
It has been charged many times
in the last two years that the
aliens in question were not only in
the United States illegally, but
that Madame Perkins herself was
violating the law by refusing to
order their deportation. The Labor
Secretary'S position has been that
while the law requires their depor-
tation, it does not fix any period
within which deportation proceed
ingS must be started, and that
while legislation is pending to deal
with them offering a possibility
that they may be allowed to re-
main, she would not act.
At present there is no legislation
pending which covers these cases,
the bills introduced previously
having died with the adjournment
Of the Seventy-fourth Congress.
1t was reported today that Senator
Richard B. Russell, jr., of Georgia,
a member of the Committee on I'M
migration and Naturalization, will
be asked to sponsor the Admins
tration'S newest program for ex-
empting the aliens in question
from the operation of existing law.
