JAPAN SENDS SHIPS
TO EUROPEAN WAR
TQKIO, Jan. 3.—Today Japan
dispatched several warships and
under sea cratt to Suez. The dis
patch of these vessels, it is declared

pose of protecting the Suez Canal

shipping in the Mediterranean. The
aid will be welcomed by the Allies.

centration of troops still continues
at Port Suez. The situation is pe
culiar. Although there has been
no sign of an invasion, nor is there
any activity close by, the Allies con

and equipment to the Sinai Penin

BOSTON, Jan. 3.—Huge ship
ments of piping destined for Port

expected campaigning in that re

LONDON, Jan. 3.—The preas is
alert enough to note with some
comment the great concentration of
' Allied troops now proceeding at
Port Said and Port Sue*. The poss

force, and some other plans hate
probably been resolved upon by the
Allied War Council, it is apparent
however that they are keeping their
own counsel In the matter.
