Situation Is Tense Washington, July 22. —(U.R) — Thq .situation caused by the United States government's attempts to avert a Russo-Chinese war was tense today. It was the fifth day since the two arming powers were reminded by Secretary of State Stimson that they were obliged by the Kellogg peace treaty not to go to war, and .neither nation has yet responded. Hope for early and peaceful replies from both nations was promoted by a scries of week-end conferences. Stimson conferred with French Ambassador Claudel, who is acting with Foreign Minister Briand of France as intermediaries between this country and Russia, and also with Chinese Minister C. C. Wu. Claudel and Wu held two additional conferences afterward. President Hoover returned today from hie Rapidan, Va., week-end camp to confer with former Secretart of State Kellogg, co-author with Briand of the famous anti-war pact. The unexpected and unprecedented American action to enforce the pact will go into effect Wednesday, in i formal proclamation ceremony led by President Hoover and participated in by former President Coolidge, former Secretary of Stale Kellogg and Stimson. American officials were anxious to obtain favorable replies from both China and Russia before the ceremony takes place, as the existence of such a near-war situation might east a shadow of public doubt over the treaty. Great Britain formally added its support to the United States action Sunday, in a communication from London delivered bv Sir Esme Howard. British ambassador, expressing approval and c<s-openstion. Japan's approval was received today. o Kokomo Aviator Killed; Relatives Seek Probe Kokomo. Ind..
