LONDON, Aug. 26 Q.N.S0.
Immediate stiffening of the British
attitude toward the Sino-Japanese
conflict was anticipated today as a
result of the wounding Of Sir
Knatchbul- HugesSen, Britain'S Am
bassador to China, by a machine
gun bullet.
London was shocked by the Incl
dent, which created a major senSa-
ton here and throughout England.
Evening newspapers splashed the
news over their front pages.
Official circles in Whitehall
made no effort to conceal how
gravely they were perturbed.
The Japanese blockade Of the
China coast was regarded as max
ing it increasingly difficult for
Britain to maintain her policy of
aloofness toward the war in Shang-

til Monday night.
Heavy fog, with a threat of con-
tinued downpour, caused Mike
Jacobs, promoter of the contest to
take action after the fighters had
reported at the offices Of the New
York State Athletic Commission
for final physical examination and

Louis weighed 1913 pounds and
Farr scaled 207, about three pounds
overweight.
The Washington times., 1937-08-26

The Japanese blockade, declared
in effect from Shanghai to Hong
Kong, will not be recognized by
the American Government, high
U. S. officials declared.
American warships will be
pressed into duty to escort U. S.
merchantmen to the high seas
from Shanghai, if necessary, it
was emphasized.
Shanghai, particularly, must be
kept open to American and foreign
shipping, it was asserted.
The State Department has not
received formal notification from
Japan of its blockade, Secretary
of State Hull said. Pending this,
no formal exchange of views could
be made.
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, COM
handkerchief of the U. S. Asiatic
Squadron, however, has warned
both Japan and China that United

States shipping at Shanghai must
not be moleSted.
His destroyers have been escort
ing fleeing Americans down the
Whangpoo River to the Yangtse
estuary anchorage to board Ameri'
can steamers.
According to unofficial reports
here, Japan's blockade will extend
only to Chinese shipping. Japan's
action, however, aroused grave
fears in official quarters that some
untoward incident might be pre-
cipitated by the blockade.
1t was feared Japanese war
ships might halt and search Ameri,
can vessels.
Each seeks to avoid forcing the
United States to invoke the neu-
trality act. In doing so, President
Roosevelt would be forced to de-
clare a "state of war" existing in
the Orient.
