Reported seizure of the Presbyterian Mission hospital at Tsaingkiangpu in Kiangsu by 40 Japanese military police aimed at the American facility. Three men and six women among Americans were allegedly imprisoned on mission property while Chinese doctors and staff were detained briefly before release. The action appears linked to Washington’s freezing of Japanese assets.
