MUNITIONS FOR CHINA
RAIL TRANSPORT FROM INDO=CHLNA JAPANESE INTIMATION TO FRANCE. THREAT TO BOMB BRIDGES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) | NEW YORK. January 10. The "New York Times” Shanghai correspondent. Mr Abends. says the Japanese Army and Navy have demanded that munition shipments on the French-owned Haiphong-Yunnan Railway into Kunming shall cease within the fortnight ending on Janu-I ary 23. or bombers will destroy every railway bridge between Kunming and the Indo-China border. The French authorities last week asked for a cessation of the bombing of the railway within the Chinese borders. It it understood they told the Japanese that enough arms and munitions had been landed at Indo-Chinese ports to tax the railway's capacity for the next two months. China bought the materials from Germany, under.a barter agreement, before the outbreak of the European war, and therefore the goods are not subject to seizure.
