the United States "Asiatic fleet,
authorized the I United States
open fire 'in
marines toaay to open lire in
self defense on any; airplane at
tacking them or non-combatants
in their sector of the interna
tional settlement.
Yarnell made this action after
the Japanese had machine-gunned
British troops and a party
of British and American horse
back riders on Keswich road
Sunday. This was only one of
many attacks by Japanese fliers
on Chinese positions along the
edges of the settlement, but it
brought death to one British
soldier. r ,
Admiral Yarnell stated his or
der as follows: "In case of at
tack with bombs or machine
guns by airplanes jpf any na
tionality on aeiense iorces or
noncombatants in the sector de
fended by the second United
States marine brigade, the com
mander in chief has authorized
these forces to open fire in self
defense."
British troops also , received
immediate orders to open fire in
self defense in case such an at
tack were repeated." 0 -Fire
protection was also need
ed today around the settlement,
because the blazes started by the
Chinese and Japanesewere" he
ginning to lick around the feet
of the foreigners. All available
foreign fire fighting apparatus
was employed to keep the fire
from spreading.
