“Forced to Move”
JAPAN BUTTS INTO CHINESE STRIFE NO UNFRIENDLINESS (United P. A.—By TeTegraph — Copyright.) (Australian P.A.—United Service) Reed. 9.30 a.m. TOKYO, Friday. The Japanese Government, in a statement regarding China, says that in view of the changed situation at Shantung, with disturbances threatening to involve the region where the. Japanese reside, Japan is now compelled to dispatch 5,000 soldiers to the Kiaochow-Tsinan rail zone. Pending the arrival of the soldiers, three companies from the Japanese garrison in China will be sent to Tsinan as an emergency measure. The dispatch of troops is unavoidable. It is a measure of self-protec-tion not implying an unfriendly attitude toward China, or interference with the military operations of either the Northern or the Southern forces. The statement adds that the troops will be withdrawn as soon as the Government considers the Japanese nationals’ safety is assured. The Ministry of the Navy announces that a force of 550 men was landed at Tsingtao, the chief port of Shantung, this morning, also that the cruiser Kgsuga will leave the Yokosuka naval base, near Yokohama, for Tsingtao to-night, carrying 200 men.
