YANGTSE GUNBOATS
BRITISH CRAFT TO REMAIN. REJECTION OF JAPANESE REQUEST. SHANGHAI, June 14. The British gunboats at Wuhu and Kiukiang have been ordered to remain there despite the Japanese request that foreign shipping should withdraw from the 200-mile stretch of the Yangtze between Wuhu and Kukow. The British view is that the presence of gunboats on the river is even more necessary to protect British lives and property now that the Japanese drive to Hankow has begun. ViceAdmiral Yarnell, United States Com-mander-in-Chief, has also rejected the Japanese request.
