TIENT6IN, China, April 19.-Japanese
bombing planes and artillery were re-
ported attacking Lwanchow, largest city
between Chinwangtao and Tientsin In
the North China coast area, today.
The Chinese military headquarters
for operations In that region Is located
there. While Chinese defenses were
being thrown up to the southwest. the
fall Of Lwanchow would considerably
facilitate Japanese advance on
Tientsin, the international commercial
center with one Of the largest American
colonies in China.
Lwanchow Is less than 100 miles from
Tientsin.
Planes Drop Bombs.
Japanese planes were reported bomb
ing the southern outskirts of the city,
while big guns poured shells into 1t from
the north bank Of the Ivan River.
The flight Of Chinese troops to
Tangshan. farther southwest along the
railroad leading to T:ents&a and Peiping,
began even before the big attack was
reported under way.
The combined Japanese and Man
chukuan armies were said to be crossing
the river under protection Of the aerial
and artillery bombardment. When the
japanese first started their push into
the undisputed Chinese territory south
of the Great Wall. the Lawn River was
set as the limit.

But the japanese command now has
announced that they will continue the
pursuit as far as the Chinese continue
to set up defenses. American mission
aries, who are numerous in the region,
have been advised to leave.
Whether any general American evac-
uation would be ordered has not been
decided. In the Tientsin area, the ques-
ton Is up to the United States consul
late to decide. The Is tn United States
Infantry area has its base at Tientsin

SENTENCES TO BE APPEALED.
Further Action viii BE Taken in
Espionage Case.

MOSCOW, April 10 R.-An appeal
will be made against the prison sen
tences imposed early today on L. c.
Thornton and William L. Macdonald,
British engineers, convicted Of espion-
age, sabotage and bribery.
The pair we're held incommunicado In
prison. Four other Britons who were
tried on the same charges were leaving
Russia tomorrow, presumably forever.
Three Of these-Allen Monkhouse,
John Cushny and G. H. Nordwell-were
under orders to get out Of the country.
Albert w. Gregory had been acquitted,
as was expected.
They were not allowed to see the two
condemned men with whom they had
worked for nearly 10 years in setting up
British machinery in electrical plants
throughout Russia.
Thornton, chief construction engineer
In Russia Of the Metropolitan -Vickers
Co. Of England, was given q three-year
term, and his crippled assistant, Will
liam H. Macdonald, q two-year SEN
tence. Immediately afterward they were
hustled of to prison.
Eleven Russian co-defendants were
given prison terms up to 10 years and
one was acquitted.
The released Britons were cautious
In talking about the fate OF their as
sociates. but after leaving . court they
drank toast to "our colleagues In
prison who have been unjustly con-
victed."
It was recalled that similar sentences
imposed In the case of German en-
giueers tried for sabotage in Russia
since the Soviet regime was established
were withdrawn and, the prisoners de-
ported.
The prospect Of leniency in the case
Of Macdonald appeared slight, how
ever, since he admitted his guilt both
during and before the trial, which
began . week ago today. And although
Thornton had repudiated . confession
he made to the secret police, he was
most bitterly attacked BY the prose-
cution and q Q result received the
sayarest sentenea.

such action were said to exist.
The Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical
Equipment Co.. which sent the men to
Russia, considered today what action
to take in connection with its con-
tract with the Soviet government.
The directors issued a statement de-
claring they had mo faith in the So

fessions" 1t expressed confidence in
the integrity Of all the employees Of the
company in Russia.
Further Break Likely.
The embargo may further strain
Anglo Russian relations, foreign OBJ
servers closely watching the situation
believed today. A complete embargo of
Russian goods would block $4,000, 900
worth Of Russian imports, as based on
the 1882 figures.
At the present volume Of business,
the 1888 Russian trade would be est
mated at about f12,000,00o.
It was expected the embargo will be
accompanied by . licensing system
which will give Great Britain whip
hand for control Of Russian trade, per-
hitting imports OF products Great
Britain needs while excluding others.
The oflicial Gazette was to list
wide range of Russian goods today
which will be banned.
European countries which already
have relations with the Soviet republic
and American officials In London have
watched the Moscow trial with special
interest In view of q possible United
States decision to establish relations
with Russia. They are informing their
respective governments of the effect of
the Moscow trial on Anglo-Russian
trade.
With the expiration of the Anglo
Russian trade agreement last Monday,
the three chief members of the Rus
sian Trade Commission. who hereto
fore had diplomatic immunity in Great
Britain, automatically toook the same
positions as any other group Of foreign
citizens doing business in this country.
Effect in Other Countries.
An important aspect Of the Anglo
Russian situation is the effect Of the

tries and also on the question of Rus
sian credits aboard which have financed
Russian developments.
The Anglo Russian break will termi-
nate British credits which are estimated
at f13,0o0,000 on an 18 month basis.
OF this amount about $4,000, 900
credit was guaranteed by the British
government. The rest Is extended
through such firms as the Metropo-
litan-Vickers Co., whose employees were
principals in the Moscow trial.
Metropolitan-V -Vickers, one of the
largest Arms extending credits to Rus
sia, was said to have FL 100000 involved
in Russian contracts. That Russian
authorities were seeking to avoid en-
dangering such foreign credits was in
dicated by the payment few days ago
to the company of all the money due.
