BRITISH SOLDIERS | FLASHES OF LIFE: BALD PARROT IS MOVE TO SHANGHA Troop Movement fo Hong Kong Is Canceled 5 London, Feb. 10 (P—Public opin- | ion so far as could be seen this morning, was not perturbed by | the news that British troops were | going to Shanghai instcad of being diverted to Hong Kong. As nothing has become known to indicate that important developments are looked for at Shanghal, there seems to be | willingness to reply on the judgment of the British authorities in China in sending the troops forward, notwith- | standing the attitude of the Can- tonese forelgn minister at Hankow, Eugene Chen, that forelgn soldiers should not be marshalled at Shanghal. | The general public has been re- assured by such statements as those of Winston Churchill, chancellor of | the exchequer, that Miles Lampson, | the British minister at Peking. was a man of keen judgment and wide experience, and that Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt, commander- fn-chief of British naval forces in Chinese water, was one of the most sober-minded and coolest officers of | the navy. Mr. Churchill explained that the troops were going to Shanghai on the advice of the British representa- tives in China adding that the gov- ernment was willing to be guided by the advice of such men as Mr. Lamp- eon and Admiral Tyrwhitt. Referring to the military situation | in China, between the rival Can-| tonese and Peking forces, as uncer- | taln and obscure, the chancellor in- timated in the house of commons yesterday that what happened in Shanghai, would likely depend on the fighting now proceeding in the neighborhood of Hangchow, about 100 miles southwest of Shanghal.
