Apostles Shocked.
The apostles were ScandaliZed at
this extravaganza. They said the
ointment should have been sold and
the money obtained given to the

Matthew. He said, why trouble we

HONG KONG, Oct. 18.-The head
quarters of the japanese South
China fleet announced that Japa-
nese naval aircraft today attacked
| Running, Southwestern China ter
minus of the newly reopened Burma
road. 1t was the first Japanese
action connected with the road re-
opening.
Bombs were dropped on Chinese
munitions factories in the suburbs
and military establishments within
the city, the headquarters COM
munique said.
Japanese planes dived at the city,
capital of Yunnan Province, through
gaps in heavy clouds and were un-
opposed by any Chinese planes.
Some foreign observers speculated
that Japan might seek to nullify re-
sumption of arms traffic over the
Burma road by formal declaration
of war against China.
Reopening Postponed.
The announcement of Japanese
action against Running came
shortly after a British statement
that reopening of Hong Kong to the
passage of petroleum products and
railway material to China has been
postponed indefinitely.
Colonial Secretary N. L. Smith had
announced yesterday that the Hong
Kong route would be reopened to
these goods at midnight last night
simultaneously with the reopening
of the Burma road.
Hong Kong was closed to petroleum
and railway supply shipments to
China last January and was closed
to munitions shipments July IT when
the Burma road was closed.
A communique said Mr. Smith had
| based his announcement on his in
depreciation of a telegram received
from London, but that he now un-
derstands consideration is being
given to the suggestion" that the
Hong Kong closure was not limited
by the three-month limit specified
in the Burma road agreement
Local restrictions not only on
munitions but on other specified
articles have not been removed and
will not be until the result of
diplomatic negotiations is known"
the communique added.
japanese File Protests.
Protest against the opening of
the Hong Kong route have been
filed by the japanese with British
officials at both Toxic and Hong
Kong.
The Toxic press has limited that
| the reopening of the Hong Kong
route would be met with counter
measures, and foreign circles had
foreseen the possibility of Japa-
nese blockade:
Were the Hong Kong route to
China re-opened, most of the traf-
fic probably would be carried by
Chinese junks to unguarded coastal
points to the north and trans
shipped inland by caravans, river
craft and trucks.
1t was popularity believed here that
clandestine trade reaching large
proportions has been going on
through Hong Kong recently despite
