Survivors Of United States Gunboat Con- firm Attack Wa s Deliberate.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 18—-(Sntur- day)-—A Japanese Army and Navy iipokesma announced to- day tliat a new and thorough investigation of Sunday's Jap- anese warplane attack on Am- erican vessels in the Yangtze had been launched.

TOKYO, Dec. 18—(Saturday)_. A Foreign Office spokesman said today that Japan's reply to the United States’ note demanding full redress for the sinking of the gunboat Panay would be mater- ially delayed by- United States charges that Japanese surface craft machine-gunned the Parlay after she was bombed.

"This is the. most serious type of charge to make.” the spokes- man declared. “Justice to both rides demands a full investigation, and a thorough inquiry can not be made in a minute."

Naval officers obtained testi- mony from a Japanese army sur- geon who treated Panay wounded in an effort to disprove the charge of machine-gunning by surface rrafl. Thm doctor declared none was wounded by bullets. All in- llllli‘! he saw were from bomb lragmcnts or wooden splinters.

A’! sections of the Tokyo Gov- ernment maintained silence con- cerning official information from Wm ingtoni on ‘machine-gunning

Santa Pals-Cooperate To Give All A Happy Christmas

AN APPEAL

“Snow upon the mountains, Fire within the hearth,

Winter slowing creeping

O'er a waiting earth:

Nature's favoured children Seek a safe retreat;

Sonic on wings of passage, Slime 011 Dtidded feet.

"Man who is their master Cannot lly away:

Where he lives and labors, There he has to stay.

Cofd and hunger threaten Where his store is small

But his dauntless courage ‘Tries to conquer all.

"Yet, the little children Courage cannot teed: Love, with means unaided, Cannot meet a need. You. whose store is ample,‘ Hear the needys call: What is much for many May be some for all.

"Soon, perhaps tomorrow, Better times will come, When allied with labor Love may keep the home Free from grim dospair, Safe for little children Under mother's care.

“Maybe for that morrow You may pave the way, By with others sharing What you have. today. Then the Christmas spirit, Moving through the land. Will remain among us, Joining heart and hand.” —C. G. MacKenzio.

Santa. Pals, there has been a splendid response from you this year. You have made sure al- ready a merry Christmas for many children to whom otherwise the day would have been one of great sadness. The list of needy, how- ever. due to local economic condi- tions, was never so great and a considerable number remain with- out provision for their Christmas. We fccl sure there are many who intend to be Santa Pals but be- cause of pressure of pro-holiday

work have overlooked carrying out ma: izooc intentions. It u from People that the Santa Pal Department sincerely liq,“ mu ‘:m° u"? Blllfl B0 ecesaay to “l” Christmas for little children I lHPPY one.
