Seven Ships Sunk
In Week End Spurt
Of War al Sea
Destroyer GrenviIIe One

Lost; 3 NeutruIs
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tllc ASSOCldlco EIcsS
LONDON, Jan. 22.-Four British
ships, one of them a sleek destroyer,
were sent to the bottom in a wave
of week end shipping losses.
Three neutral victims also added
to the heavy toll of men and ships,
especially in icy waters around the
British Isles, which some sources
blamed on a sharp increase in
mines.
The 1,569-ton Norwegian steamer
Maurlta also was presumed lost
when naval vessel brought the
bodies of two men who were believed
members of her crew into port. The
bodies were picked up on a raft in
the North Sea.
Sinking of the destroyer Gren-
vile, 1,485-ton fotilla leader by
a mine or torpedo" was announced
by the admiralty yesterday. She
was the fourth British destroyer
sunk in nearly five months of war
and Britain's 21st acknowledged
loss to her fleet. When she sank

81 Dead Are Listed.
The admiralty said 118 officers
and men had been saved, but "8
are known to have been killed and
70 are missing and must be pre-
sumed to have lost their lives"
Among survivors landed at an
east coast port were some gravely
wounded and the commander of the
warship, Capt. G. E. Greasy. Capt.
Greasy at first had been reported
among the lost.
To Britons the disastrous week
end was a sad sequel to words Of
Winston Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty, who declared Saturday,
Things have never gone so we'll
in any naval war"
But they found consolation for
their losses by citing the fact that
hundreds of warships and merchant
men were moving in and out Of
British ports with a steady flow of
supplies and food and in Mr..
Churchill's assurance that the
chances against a conveyed ship
being sunk are 500 to l,

these eight other ships became
known during the week end:

japanese Protest
British Seizure Of
Nazis on Liner
Removal of 21 Germans
Serious, UnfriendIy
Aet.' Says Official
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Jan. 22-Japan today
protested formally to Britain against
hating of the japanese liner Asama
Maru and seizure of 81 Germans
who were passengers on their way
home by way of Japan and Siberia.
The incident was characterized as
"a serious unfriendly act" by the
vice foreign minister, Masayuki
Tani, in an interview with British
Ambassador Sir Robert Leslie
Craigie.
A foreign Office communique said
Sir Robert, summoned to the foreign
Office, was told that Japan attaches
"the greatest importance" to the
occurrence.
The Asama Maru, bound for Yoko-
hama from San Francisco, was
halted Saturday by a shot across
her bow. A British boarding party
removed the 81 Germans who for
merly served on Standard Oil Co.
ships in Central and South America.
ForciBie Measures Charged.
The japanese protest declared
"forcible measures" were used to re-
move the Germans when the Asama
Maru's captain, declined to surTen-
der them.
Demanding that Britain prompt
ly furnish full, valid explanation, I"
Japan reserved the right to demand
return of the German seamen and
warned that any repetition would
"aggravate all the more sentiment
of the japanese nation against
Britain"
From the broad viewpoint of the
future relations between Japan and
Britain, the Japanese government
requests the British government to
pay serious consideration to the
matter" the protest said.
Japan, declaring the Asama Maru
was halted about 35 miles off the
japanese coast, laid stress on the
vessels position, close to japanese
waters, in making the protest.
Approach to U. S. Planned.
Meanwhile, Yakichiro Suma, for
eign office spokesman, reported
that japanese Embassy officials at
Washington would approach the
State Department on technical
matters" regarding Japanese
American trade relations. The COM
mercial treaty between Japan and
the United States expires Friday.
THE trade situation not only is
uneasy for the Japanese, but also
for the Americans and we deem the
State Department should consider
this thoroughly" Suma declared.
Suma declared the government
was watching with grave concern
the next moves in the negotiations,
which he said would be decided in
Washington.
Incident Termed "Regrettable."
The spokesman termed the re-
moval of Nazi seamen by a British
warship as very regrettable" be-
cause the search and arrests took
place so near our shore"
Passengers aboard the ship said
the liner was stopped about IS miles
of the Japanese shore and within
sight of land of Yokohama.
Passengers said the Nazi prisoners
were among a group of 40 men
formerly seamen on Standard Oh
tankers who were being sent home
at the company's expense because
of the war.
