JAPAN DENIES
BIG NAVY AIM

TOKYO, Feb. 2 U.N.S0-A
japanese navy spokesman today
denied charges voiced in Washing
ton that Japan is constructing bat
tleships of $4,000 tons.
He said Japan is not building
"out-Size" war vessels, but at the
same time pleaded he was unable
to specify the exact tonnage OF
Japanese battleships now under
construction, or to be built.
The spokesman asserted the ship
tonnages selected would be those
necessary for defense of Japan,
and defense, he claimed, is the
only objective of the japanese
navy department.
Navy Minister Yonai told the
parliament budget committee that
Japan is not aiming at naval
parity with the United States and
Britain, but merely desires a navy
which will ensure the safety of
Japan, and which will be suitable
to Japan's geographical position.

Won BLOMBERC
CUSTER limited
BY PIERRE J. HUSS

BERLIN, Feb. 2 Q.N.S).-A
drastic Shakeup in Chancellor
Hitler's cabinet, involving the pos
sible resignation of War Minister
Gen. Werner Won Blomberg, was
the subject of intense speculation
in Berlin circles today.
The Shakeup, not officially con-
firmed but widely rumored, was
believed to be connected with
pressure against Won Blomberg in
the army high command and in
the immediate group surrounding
Hitter. Won Blomberg now is on
a wedding trip with his second
wife, whom he married January 13.
Still other reports said a new
German cabinet might shortly be
created, including some of the min
listers now in office. Among those
who may be dropped, according
to this version, is Labor Minister
Franz Seldte.
A new minister of economics
and two assistant directors are ex-
.pected to be inducted into office.
Walther Funk is expected to be
appointed minister, with Herr
Posse and Herr Brinkmann as
his assistants.
One reason given for the drive
against Won Blomberg was his
recent secret marriage to a
woman 40 years his Junior. He
married Fraulein Gruhn of Han
over in an unannounced ceremony
at his war ministr apartment.

FROM AMERICA.
FEARED SLAIN
Reported Killed by
Japanese Sentry

SHANGHAI, Feb. 2 QNS).
Two more Chinese cities, about
100 miles northwest of Marking,
were captured by Japanese col
umns today, according to reports
received here.
The first to fall was Fengyang.
A few hours later, strategic Pengu,
16 miles away, also was reported
captured after an intensive bomb
ing in which the Chinese defend
erS suffered heavy losses.
FEARED KILLED
Meanwhile, reports from Han
kow said three American mission
aries, missing since December 2,
are feared to have been killed.
Other adviceS from Hankow said
the Japanese offensive along the
southern sector of the Titentsin-
Pukow Railway is in full blast and
that Chinese defense positions
have been heavily battered by
Nipponese artillery and aircraft.
To slow the Japanese drive,
Chinese forces destroyed railroad
bridge across the Jwairi River
south of Pengu. Chinese reinforce
ments are rushing to the battle
front from Suchow to stem the
invaders advance.
REFUGEES IN PERIL
Meanwhile, fears arose for the
safety of American missionaries
and other refugees caught in var
ious war zones.
Hongkong reports stated 30
Americans aboard q refugee train
en- route from Hankow, provisional
capital of the Chang Kai-Shek
government, to Hongkong may
have met with trouble.
Aboard the train are IS children
of American missionaries. Prog
resS of the train on its dangerous
journey is not known, it was
stated, because communications
along the route have been dis
TupUGu ny DOu1D111SSs
So far, however, no serious con-
cern is felt for the travellers.
2 WEST VIRGINIANs
More alarming, however, were
the reports from Hankow, which
stated that three American mis-
Sionaries are feared to have been
killed.
The Hankow reports described
these missionaries as Mr.. and Mrs.
Alva Harsh, of Pertburgh, w. Va,
and Miss Minerva Neher, of La
vern, Calf. They are members
of the Church of Brethren Mis-
sion at Showyang, Shansi prov
ince. .~--
Advices from the Chinese gov
ernment capital said the trio
failed to return to the mission
after visiting a friend at the
United States embassy.
Investigation of their disappear
ance now is under way, but both
japanese and Chinese authorities
maintain the other side is respon-
Sible for the fate of the three
Americans.
It was stated an "unsubstanti-
ated report" was received at the
offices of the Eighth Route army in
Hankow claiming the three mis-
sionaries had been killed by Ja-
panese sentry when they failed to
give a correct password.
