Chinese newspaper with offices at 222 Shantung Road, was bombed on Janvary 24, the day before it was to resume publication the attack taking place at about 7.30 pin. The bomb, a hand-grenade of the "potato-masher" type, was thrown by a man dressed in Chinese clothes who suddenly appeared in the door-way and buried the grenade across the office.
It exploded on the floor, injuring a man and a woman who were working there at the time; the bomb-thrower escaped, and has as yet managed to elude drag-nets put out by the police. Prior to its opening, the editor of the paper communicated with the Japanese authorities with a View to submitting to them proofs of all war news.
