Urgent orders were issued that the foreign area must be kept inviolate and that the border guards must shoot to kill any armed Chinese who sought to enter 1t.
 Disarm Chinese
 Any Chinese admitted, 1t was said must be disarmed and taken to Q concentration camp.
 Armored cars and trucks plastered with armor plate, all equipped with machine guns, were sent out to patrol settlement borders.
 A Japanese army spokesman said that the Japanese were driving the Chinese into prepared death traps.
 "We will make every effort to pre- vent their falling back on the set- dement," he continued. "But this is @ major engagement and 1t will continue until the Chinese who are defying Japan are annihilated."
 Appointed Last Year
 Knatchbull Hugessen was ape pointed ambassador to China last year. He has served nearly 30 years in the British foreign service.
 He was born in 1886 and received his education at Eton, Balliol col- lege and Oxford university. He en- tered the foreign service in 1908.
 Knatchbull-Hugessen was attach ed to the British delegation at the World War peace conference in 1919 and later served as first secre- tary in the diplomatic service. From 1926 to 1880 he served as counsellor to the British embassy in Brussels and then was appointed British minister to the Baltic states. From 1884 to 1886 he served as British minister to Persia.
 American Dairy Hit As the ambassador fought for his life at the Country Hospital news was received that 20 Japanese air- planes, in @ terrific bombardment, destroyed the American owned Poplar Dairy in the suburbs, flying the American flag, and that Japa- nese warship had sunk in flames, with its crew of 9i, the Chinese survey vessel Chiaojih.
 A Japanese embassy spokesman expressed the ominous "hope" that foreign countries would bow to Japan's blockade of the China coast and not try to send arms to China.
 He refused to discuss the attack on the British ambassador, which absorbed attention.

 Allison will keep the consulate open until all Americans have been evacuated safely from his area in Shantung province, which is buff fer between the Shanghai and Tien- tsin-Peiping war fronts.
 Shanghai, Aug. 26- (UP)-A Japanese naval attache announced today that 8 Japanese warship had shelled and sunk the Chinese survey vessel Chiaojih off Woosung. The ship foundered, in flames. The two vessels were. 2,000 ysrds apart. The Chiaojih, a 500-ton vessel, carried a complement of 9l officers and crew. It formerly was used as an admiral ty yacht.

It was announced only last night that these key leads had determined to protect British lives and property in Shanghai, and would persist in efforts to secure the exclusion of Shanghai from the area of hostili- ties.
 There was some belief that Cham- berlain would call @ full cabinet meeting and return to the city. Bri- tain regards attacks on ordinary civilians as grave enough, but an attack on an ambassador, e direct envoy of the king, is o matter of greatest moment.
 Eden Is Waiting
 Foreign Secretary Eden waited at the foreign office. He had received no official reports early this After- noon. United Press dispatches from Shanghai were telephoned to him.
 Some hope was expressed that Ja- pan, impressed by the gravity of the act of its airplane crew, might at last consent-as has China--to mutual troop withdrawal from the Shanghai area.

CITIZENS FIGHT.
HOSPITAL PLAN
FOR 14TH STREET
Use of Old Institution
Brings Strong Protest
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

The proposed use of the old Tu-
berculosis Hospital at Fourteenth
and Upshur Streets Northwest as
a home for convalescent patients
from Gallinger Hospital, or in any
way in connection with that insti-
tuition, will be vigorously protested
by residents of the community,
Capt. George L. Shorey, president
Of Piney Branch Citizens ASsocia-
ton, announced last night.
Joining in the fight, he declared,
will be the Petworth, Sixteenth
Highlands, Columbia Heights, Citi-
zenS Forum of Columbia Heights,
Mount Pleasant and Brightwood
Citizens Associations, all Of which,
Shorey said, are on record as op-
posing the plan.
SEEK NEW COLLEGE
The groups have recommended
the entire area be used as a site
for a new teachers college, and
for recreational purposes.
AS chairman of the general
committee on protest, Shorey in.
tends to call q meeting of repre-
Sentatives of the six organizations
during the week at the Roosevelt
High School to decide upon a
course of action with the District
Commissioners, and to formulate
plans for an appeal to Congress
IN the event such step may be-
come necessary.
Outlining major objections, it
was pointed out the immediate
neighborhood is one Of the most
thickly populated within the Dis
trict, with the Roosevelt High,
Mcfarland Junior High, and the
Powell, Petworth and Raymond
Elementary School nearby, all
with an exceeding heavy enroll
rnent Of students.
To place even a unit of Gall
niger, or any other hospital on the
site as contemplated would be bad
from a health standpoint, it is
claimed.
Suggestion was also made that
the cost of transferring patients
back and forth from Gallinger
would soon pay for construction Of
an additional building on the
grounds at that institution.
