SOUTHWARD MOVE
FLEET OF JAPANESE TRANSPORTS CONCENTRATION AT HAINAN., SHANGHAI AND OTHER REPORTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) HANOI, December 5. ~ A freighter captain arriving at Haiphony reported that he had sighted a number of Japanese transports steaming southward, south of Hainan Island. A Shanghai message states that foreign military officials have received reports that the largest number of Japanese transports seen so far has been concentrated at Hainan during the past few days. The ships are capable of carrying a large expeditionary force. Presumably the freighter captain’s report refers to part of the same concentration. A Kunming message states that Japanese planes bombed Chihtsun Station, wounding a number of Chinese civilians and also two members of the French railroad staff.
