SHORTAGE OF SHIPS
CAUSING DIFFICULTIES IN JAPAN. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, October 11. The Japanese are beginning to suffer from the lack of shipping, says the Stockholm correspondent of the “New Yok Times,” quoting the Tokio correspondent of the Hamburg “Fremdenblatt.” . . To provide sufficient ships to maintain the supply routes to the conquests in the South Pacific, the Japanese Government has decreed that shipments of coal, iron, and steel within Japan, shall henceforth be carried by rail instead of steamers, resulting in a restriction of the railroad passenger traffic. Cabinet members have warned the people not to underestimate the enemy, and also to prepare for aerial attacks on the home islands.
