EMPHATIC PROTEST
AGAINST JAPANESE INTRUSION TANK DRIVEN INTO CLUB AT SOEBANG. BLOODY TRAIL PLOUGHED THROUGH JAPANESE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) MELBOURNE, May 26. During the battle for the Netherlands East Indies, a Dutch armoured brigade captain converted the famous International Club at Soebang into a deathtrap for Japanese troops. A Dutch officer, who recently arrived in Aus-< tralia, said the brigade captain was enraged when he was told that the club had been occupied by Japanese troops as their headquarters. He ordered a native to drive his tank up the steps leading to the spacious building. As the tank thundered through the rooms of the club its machine-guns spat fire in all directions. It ploughed a bloody trail through the rooms over masses of Japanese, who were taken completely by surprise.
