Blockade Unannounced The state department had not re ceived formal notice from either American consular official or from Japan of a Japanese Intention to 1m pose a blockade against China along the 700-mtle strip of the China coast line. Neither had reports of a threat to interfere with American and other foreign shipping been received offi cially, but department officials eager ly watched press reports of Japan's plans as they affect foreign merchant marine. TOKYO, Aug. 26. (AP) Premier Prince Fumlmaro Konoye declared to day Japan did not consider American and British proposals to end the Sino-Japanese war of much import ance.

Referring by name to United States Secretary of State Hull and his ex pressed wish that both China and Japan cease fighting, and to the British proposal to create a neutral zone around Shanghai, the premier said: "X think ail these are the result of the powers' lack of proper under standing of Japan's position. Japan does not attach much importance to these proposals from foreign powers." The premier added that he expect ed repercussions of the war abroad would result In further moves by for eign powers. Prince Kohoye said that he had explained to the elder statesman that unless the Chinese reconsider "the situation will inevitably become more tense."

They said his condition was ex ceedingly critical. Soon after the ambassador's ar rival at the hospital he was given blood transfusions. The doctors said It was Impossible to extract the bullets tonight be cause of the patient's weakened con dition. Sir Hughe's chauffeur said the at tacking plane flew so low the Jap anese ensign on its wings was clear ly visible and that the flier must have been able to see the British flags. As soon as it was evident the planes wefe chasing the automobiles the party stopped. Sir Hughe was struck as he emerged from his car, to be met with a machine gun blast. Americans Periled. This grave International compli cation was coupled with narrow es capes for three Americans, two ol them during a fierce Japanese air raid on the million dollar, Ameri can-owned Poplar Groves dairy farms near Shanghai. Chinese and foreign diplomatic circles In Nanking received news of the Knatchbull-Hugessen affair with expressions of horror and dismay. They understood Sir Hughe was on his way to Shanghai to discuss with Shlgeru Kawagoe, the Japanese am bassador, possibilities of ending the Shanghai hostilities by diplomatic agreement. British embassy attaches said the ambassador also was anxious to sur vey arrangements for evacuating British nationals from Shanghai to Hongkong. Japanese ReRret. High Japanese officials were quick to express their sorrow. Katsuzo Okumura, secretary of the Japanese embassy, called at the hospital on behalf of the ambassador, Shlgeru Kawagoe; Vlce-Admlral Tadao Hon da, naval attache of the embassy, called to express the navy's regrets. Messages of condolence also came from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the Chinese government, and other Chinese officials. All B IMlMaKC. i A spokesman for the Japanese em bassy deplored the attack on Sir Hughe and said the airmen evidently had mistaken the red and blue Brit ish flag on his automobile for a Chinese emblem of the same colors. He declared the ambassador should have had a flag large enough to drape over the whole roof of his car On the battlefronts around Shang hai, Chinese defenders meanwhile had fallen back on a broad front, while the Japanese army had estab lished a firm foothold on the Yang tze coast north of Shanghai for the landing of divisions from the home land for extended operations to drive the Chinese from the vicinity ot Shanghai. A spokesman for the Japanese navy declared that "foreign shipping along the China coast may be halted by Japanese warships patrolling the area." This would be an extension of the blockade against Chinese thlpplns proclaimed yesterday along 800 miles of China's coastline, from Shanghai southward. War Fortunes Vary. Xn the northern campaigns for control of Hopeh province the for tunes of war varied. Japanese head quarters In Tientsin claimed a series of smashing successes. Including cap ture of Kalgan, capital of cnanar province, and other important posi tions In that region. Japanese oitl- cers In Pelplng, however, admitted that Chinese armies southwest 01 Pelplng were carrying out a flank ing movement that endangered tne Japanese column fighting along the Pelping-Hankow railway. (In Tokyo Premier Fumlmaro Ko noye declared Japan considered Brit ish and American efforts to halt the fighting In the Shanghai area as ot little Importance.) On Peace Mission. Sir Hughe rushed from Shanghai to Nanking aboard the British de stroyer Westcott on July 14 in n effort to forestall the spread of bos tllitlea between the two powers. He arrived there on July 16 and Immediately went into conference with Wang Chung-Hul. the Chinese foreign minister. He remained in Nanking until yesterday, keeping in constant toucb with the develop ments. The 61-year-old diplomat has been ambassador to China since 1936, when he was transferred from min ister to Iran. He had previously served as minister to the Baltic states and as counsellor of embassy at Brussels. British officials took an exceed ingly grave view of the attack on the ambassador and immediately lodged a strong protest with the Japanese government. Newsman Target. J. B. Powell, Chicago Tribune cor respondent on the war front, was jolted hut uninjured when nuge Jap anese shell splinters smashed Into his automobile, which was flying the American flag. J. H. McKlnnon of Houston, Tex.. manager of the large American-own ed Poplar Groves dairy farms, on the outskirts of Shanghai, saved his life by feigning death under a hall of Japanese aerial bombs and ma chine gun fire. A squadron of Japanese warplanes attacked the farms for the second time within a week, almost annihi lating the dairy's herd of 400 pedi greed American cattle. Fleeing the bombing, McKlnnon leaped into an enormous crater left from the first Japanese air raid. He lay motionless as though dead until the Japanese planes, which had dived to less than 500 feet above htm, flew off. McKlnnon protested to American consular authorities against the re peated Japanese bombardments. Fines Ignored.

They surmised, however, that Jap anese aviation officers might have mistaken the farm's machinery, in cluding huge concrete mixers, tor Chinese gun emplacements. Describing the bombing of the Pap- lar Orovea dairy, McKlnnln told me Associated press that 16 huge Jap anese bombers flew over the property tor an hour and a half, bombing and machine gunning from only a few hundred feet up In spite of three big American flags prominently displayed. He said that William Schlobohm. former Alameda, Cal.. aviator, who was with him, also had a narrow escape from death. See Hall of Death. I visited the farm to Inspect the extent of damage caused by three previous Japanese air bombings, on August 16. 20 and 33." McKlnnon said. "Soon after I arrived a veri table hall of death descended, kill ing scores of the cows, turning the place Into a slaughterhouse." 1 was drenched with the blood of the cows. I had heard something of the horrors of Japanese bombing raids, but nothing I had heard did Justice to the reality. Two hundred and fifty cows have been killed at our dairy. Chi nese members of the staff fled into the fields, where the Japanese air man pursued them with machine gun fire, scores of Chinese farmers nearby also were machine gunned.

High Quality The value of the dairy farm was estimated at more than $1,000,000 (United States currency.) Besides the Poplar Grove farms, American property damaged In the two weeks of heavy aerial and artil lery fire includes the American -mortgaged Wing On and Company de partment store, cotton mills in the Woosung area and the American Mission hospital at Nantungchow. Although possessing woefully In adequate resources, international re lief committees plunged Into the overwhelming problem of alleviating, even slightly, the dangers of hunger and disease hovering over war-torn Shanghai. There are at least half a million destitute war refugees roaming its streets, among them a sprinkling ol foreigners. Help Needed. Under the direction of American W. H. Plant of Portland. Me., the emergency relief committee broad cast a world-wide appeal for the war victims here and elsewhere in China. The most acute problem is to save tho lives of these 500.000 utterly de pendent refugees, stranded hungry, homeless and penniless. But there are another 500.000 who, although they have some resources, must be cared for before they, too, are thrown on the mercy of relief. Most of them are being evacuated to the south on the fastest ships avail able. The Japanese have indicated willingness to assure the safety of refugee ship passing their blockade. The relief committee already has established 450 concentration camps In sheltered sections, each housing from 100 to 15,000 refugees. Sanitation Is virtually non-exist ent and food la meager.
