LONDON, June 4.-The War
Offlce announced today that two
Japanese naval officers had been
shot by a British patrol Monday
in a village north of British-oc-
cupied Diego Suarez, on the is
land Of Madagascar.
The announcement was re-
garded here as further proof

to take over that large French
island when the British them
selves moved in.
The officers, one source said. ap-
parently were assigned to make
plans Of the naval base at Diego
Suarez to prepare the way for

The British forces in Madagascar,
informed persons said, are consoli-
dating their positions around Diego
Suarez, and there were no reports of
British troop movements outside the
area Of the naval base.
There had been repeated reports
prior to the British occupation that
the Japanese might attempt TO seize
the strategic island of the East
African coast.
The announcement concerning
the shooting of the two Japanese
officers, issued by the British COM
manding ofncer at Diego Suarez,
said:
"On the morning Of June 1 the
native headman Of a village in the
peninsula of Diego Suarez reported
two foreigners had been observed
in the village. A British patrol
with native guides proceeded to the
village. The two foreigners fed
before the arrival Of the patrol but
were pursued and surrounded.
When called upon to surrender
they opened fire on the British
patrol and were shot.
"On examination of their cloth
ing, papers showed they were jap
anese naval ofhcers.'
