 SAIL UP YANCTSE
Admiral Yarnell Is Deter mined to Protect Amer-
 ican Lives, Property

Shanghai, June 13-(UP)-Admir- al Harry E. Yarnell, commander of the United States Asiatic fleet, who said he was determined to send warships any place where Americans are endangered, completed plans to- day for an inspection trip up the forbidden" Yangtse river.
 He told Japanese naval authori- ties, who were annoyed by his trip, that American warships and their commanders would not aceede to Japanese demands that they remain from danger zones" in the Yangtse, SO long as American lives and prop erty were involved.
 The Japanese had requested foreign warships and shipping to steer clear of the area between Wuhu and Hankow and to paint their vessels in colors which Jap anese aviators could distinguish easily.
 It was believed that Yarnell's trip to Ranking, to inspect river condi- tions, was preliminary to final, urgent requests that the Japanese reopen the Yangtse. Foreign Naval authorities doubted that the request would be granted, at least prior to the fall of Hankow to the Japanese. The Yangtse is water highway for Japanese vessels carrying troops and equipment for an anticipated drive on Hankow from the south in so- called naval offensive"
 In asking that foreign vessels be painted bright colors, the Japanese also requested that third powers take the necessary steps to prevent the Chinese from resorting to the same maneuvers in order to escape bombings.
 Yarnells note was polite but firm. He said that the movements of United States warshipS within a specified danger zone would be com municated to both Japanese and Chinese officials anl that an effort to avoid unnecessary exposure in danger zones would be made.
 However" the note said, "The evacuation of American Nationals in the area is of paramount import ance and as a result it will be car- ried out.
 United States navy vessels are with large American flags painted on their awnings, wherefore the nationality should be apparent to any aviator at several thousand feet altitude" Yarnell said.
 In his statement to the Japanese through the American consulate he said that the United States navy did not consider the warning of the Japanese as relieving Japan of the slightest degree of any responsibil- ity for damage and injury to United States warships, nationals and prop erty."
