JAPAN BLOCKADES
PORT Of TS|NGTA0
Three U. S. Warcraft Stand
BY in Harbor to Aid 300
Americans.
Bv the Associated Press.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 26 Sunday
The japanese navy announced today
that blockade had been thrown
around the industrial city of Tsingtao,
where three United States warcraft
were standing by to evacuate 800
Americans.
japanese land forces pushing for
ward into North China previously had
cut off communications between
Tsinanfu. Shantung Province capital,
and Tsingtao, which is on the coast
800 miles north of Shanghai.
War Fronts Widened.
With the japanese widening their
war fronts both in North and South
China, there was little in the Orient
to mark the Christmas message of
peace on earth.
The navy announcement said the
blockade was directed at Chinese ships
only and that foreign shipping would
not be affected.
Troop movements during the past
week had caused increasing fears that
Tsingtao would be attacked in re-
taliation for the destruction of Japa-
nese cotton mills there.
The steamer Shenking. which left
Tsingtao before the blockade was
established, arrived in Shanghai with
a number of foreign refugees, includ-
ing Is Americans.
Ships Sunk in Harbor.
Preparing to defend the city, the
Chinese sank numerous vessels, in
cluding large Japanese-owned
dredger, in the inner harbor to pre-
vent entrance of Japanese warships.
Mrs. Ellis Gerber, wife of the man
ager of the Universal Leaf Tobacco Co.,
from Charleston, S. c., reported Using
tao was an armed camp, and said more
Chinese troops were arriving daily.
The city's famous beaches, have been
mined, she said.
The principal worry of the foreigners,
she declared, was the Chinese mill
tary's threat to blow up the water
works and completely cut off the city's
water supply.
News from the Hangchow area,
south of Shanghai, was meager be-
cause of disrupted communications,
but foreign sources reported stiff fight
ing was going on in the suburbs north
west of the captured city and the Chi
nese still were resisting to the north
east.
American marines and sailors within
Shanghai had their first overnight
furloughs since fighting began here
last August. There were turkey din
ners aboard battleships, and curfew

Hopes Steps Are Effective.
After accepting Japan's note,
MIR. Hull said in his reply:
1T is the earnest hope Of the
Government of the United States
that the steps which the Japanese
Government has taken will prove
effective toward preventing any
further attacks upon or unlawful in
reference by Japanese authorities or
forces with American nationals, in
terests or property in China"
The United States note, Of seven
paragraphs, consisted chiefly Of ref
erences to the American note of
December IA and the Japanese notes
Of December IA and "a.
1t observed with satisfaction the
promptness with which the japanese
government in its note of December
IA admitted responsibility. expressed
regret and offered amends"

OF the japanese reply of Friday con-
sidered it satisfactory as to guaran-
tees thaving already regarded as sat-
lsfactory the note of December IA
with respect to apologies and indem-
nlflcations>. took less than one day
in which to reply.
Guarantees Are Listed.
What Mr.. Hull accepted as guar
antees were the following:
THAT rigid orders" were issued
to japanese military. naval and for
eign office officials to observe more
strictly repeated instructions against
infringement of United States rights
and interests in China.
2. That the Japanese government is
studying carefully every possible
means OF achieving more effectively
the above stated aims
. 3. That the Japanese government
lis ascertaining, in closer contact with
American authorities in China, the
whereabouts of American interests and
nationals" presumably so as to avoid
unwarrantably interfering with them
4. That the Japanese government,
Is improving means of communicative
intelligence with regard to the where.
abouts of American nationals and in.
terests in China to the japanese au.
thorities on the spot.
Indemnity Up to u. S.
japanese sources here said the oues-
ton of indemnifcations would be
speedily settled by Japan's accepting
any figure set by the United States.
The Japanese note said that govern
ment will make indemnifications for
all the losses"
Sources close to the State Depart
ment summed up Mr.. Hull's note as
an acceptance with two implied reser-
vations:
l. That "the Government OF the
United States relies on the report of
findings of the court of inquiry of the
United States Navy, a copy of which
has been communicated officially to
the Japanese government (circum-
stances which may be interpreted as
disproving the Japanese contention of
"miStake.")
