Copyright) (Received June 13. 3.15 p.m.) SHANGHAI, June 12 Rear-.Vlmlral Yarnell sharply rejected Japan's demand that American foreign shipping evacuate the kiang River above Wuhu, declaring that the American Navy will go wherever .Americans are in danger. Rear-Admiral Yarnell also refused the Japanese suggestion to paint American warships “ scarlet or some other colour."
