States would have the right to claim damages and compensation for the man killed and those injured.
 No War Declared
 An important aspect of the affair was that neither China nor Japan has declared war formally, hence ail international agreements re- garding freedom of navigation in the Whangpoo are fully effective.
 American residents of Shanghai were concerned about the immedi- act reaction in Washington to the incident.
 They feared 1t would intensity demands of American pacifists that the U. s. abandon Shanghai com pletely.
 This, they said, would mean that more than Sl50,000,0o0 worth of American property here would be at the mercy of foreign nations.
 The Chinese aerial attack that preceded the smelling of the Augusta shook Shanghai with the worst bombardment of the war. Great fires started in the Hongkew quar. ter. The Chinese planes dove reck. lessly over the city.

Their presence made them acutely dangerous to the Japanese area. Their presence made them acutely dangerous to the Japanese because they had Q foothold from which bigger bodies of troops might advance to start Q general drive which would split the Japanese or drive them into the river. In addition, their sniping was deadly.
 Martial Law Area
 The declaration of martial law which covered specifically the area ali around the Hongkew police sta- ton, was intended to make the task of the mopping up squads and the armored cars simpler by denying the right of anyone to bear arms oi to move in the streets.
 The mopping squads moved cautiously and deliberately along the area infested by the snipers, the advanced clements of the Chinese to make c house to house search for them.

 The Japanese planes came out again, to bomb the Kiangnan ar. senal and the South etatoin sornt more. This time they met 6 hot fire from Chinese anti-aircraft gum and machine guns.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTRESS
oited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Stall CorreSpoliueiiC
Paris. U.R) - The Duchess OF
Kent, an ardent racing fan, wore
four different Molyneux creations
for Ascot week. She established
a new fashion in dresses for the
races by wearing a calf-length
dress on the first day. 1t was in
pale blue crepe made with a soft
ly draped neckline. The draping
was repeated at the waistline,
where there was a corsage of null
ti-colored artificial flowers. Her
large, loppy-brimmed straw hat
likewise was of pale blue straw,
trimmed at the front Of the brim
with the same multi-colored flow
ers as thoce on the dress.
Her second day at the races,
the Duchess of Kent wore a black
and white costume. The dress,
of white crepe, was printed in
black flowers etched lightly upon
the material. With this she wore
a coat of black taffeta and a
broad -brimmed black straw hat.
Another costume worn during
Ascot week was a dress of white
crepe MADE with a crosS-over
surplice bodice and trimmed with
light and dark blue cornfloWerS.
The matching hat of straw, at
least a yard wide and the largest
hat seen that day, was in deep
cornfloWer blue. The crown OF
the hat was in velvet and the
broad brim of straw.
The Duche.s' fourth Ascot cos
tune was an afternoon ensemble
in sandy beige. The coat was of
sandy beige light weight wool
made loose and full. The short
sleeves of the coat were banded.
with silver fox fur.
