BRITAIN HOLDS
japan LIABLE
FOR DEATHS
Blame Laid on NipponeSe in
Killing of Seamen at
Shanghai.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
TOXIC, Feb. 1S.-The British
naval command at Shanghai holds
Jar-1 sponsible for Chinese sheI-
ing in which two British sailors
were killed. The shells fell in the
international settlement at lang
hal.
A government spokesman revealed
today that Vice Admiral Sir William
Kelly had protested to Japanese
Admiral Nomura at Shanghai that
Japanese landings in the inter
national settlement were responsible
4or the Chinese fire in which the
sailors were wounded fatally.
The British position was mNde
public twenty-folir hours after AM
bassador Debuchi at Washington
had informed the foreign office that
the United States intended to hold
Japan responsible for danger to
Americans in the settlement if the
Chinese attacked in retaliation c0~
Japanese use of the area as a base
for operations.
(This report was denied later at
Washington, which did, however,
admit such plan was under con-
sideration with many others.
The spokesman said revelation of
Secretary of State Stimson's pos
sible note" was in error, because the
note never was received. The in
formation given out by the foreign
Office Wednesday night caused the
Chinese to shell the settlement in
the hope of causing the United
Stats to intervene, the spokesman
said.
Diplomats here were interested in
Ambassador Debuchi's reaction to
the spokesman's statement. The
original statement, on the United
States attitude was credited to De-
buchi.
He was quoted as saying that
Stimson was preparing note
which would hold Japan respon-
sible for danger to Americans.
Stimson was "adamant and eX-
cited" the foreign office spokesman
had said.

There's no such thing as love
later in life," Miss Wittenberger
said today.
Her earlier marriages were for
love, but later were for companion
ship. It's circumstances that come
up that cause old folks to get mar

For instance, I used to get lone

the neighbors.
But when you marry, you can
talk and have companionship if
you want it. If you don't you can
just tell your husband to shut up,
and read the newspaper.
Get married again? That's all
nonsense"
But I'll tell you this. If I want

three weeks from the time the Jap
aneSe marines began their advance
into the Chapel district, only to be
held by the unexpected and stub
born resistance of the Chinese.
The ultimatum left foreign
authorities increasingly apprehen-
Sive over the outcome. Peace efforts
were continued to the last minute,
but the Chinese gave every indica-
ton of intending to refuse such
terms.
The nineteenth army, which has
held Shanghai for three weeks, con-
tinued to be the main Chinese arm
of defense, despite the troops of
General Chang Kai-Shek, which
have been sent into the area.
The Chinese military leader. who
SO far has taken on part in the re-
sistance, was believed by some OBJ
servers to have brought up his
troops to await developments.
They believed he would watch to
see if the Nineteenth army would
be smashed, not risking the defeat
of his own troops.
However, if the Nineteenth held
firm he might incorporate units of
the other armies with the Nine
tenth.
The artillery duel continued all
during the evening and was still in
progress at II p. m.
