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. But at the same time Foreign

the Japanese ambassador to China,
Shlgeru Kawagoe, to extend Japan's
warmest sympathy to Sir Hugh

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

does not attach much importance to
these proposals from foreign powers."
The premier added that he expect

Prince Kohoye said that he had
explained to the elder statesman that

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.

the farm, over which large American
flags are flying, should be a target
for the Japanese.
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.

was with him, also had a narrow

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."

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.
Otter the raid I saw the bodies
of many dead Chinese.

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.
