GRAVE SITUATION
Reprisals by Japanese in Shanghai. CHINESE TO STRIKE BACK. SHANGHAI, January 20. Serious disorders have occurred in the international settlement, where an armed clash took place between a mob of Japanese civilians and the Chinese municipal police. It resulted in one Chinese policeman being killed and two wounded. The conflict followed a brutal attack upon five Japanese monks by Chinese workers on Monday. A number of Japanese civilians organised a party and burned a Chinese cotton factory, whose workers were responsible for the outrage on the monks. A very grave situation prevails, the Chinese police threatening reprisals.
