GREAT BRITAIN (CONTINUE! fKTO rAO» OHS) anese airplane machine gun bullet as he wae racing toward Shanghai from Nanking for an emergency conference with British officials. The bullet touched the spine but did r. «t sever the spinal cord. Surgeons, at first hopeful that bie condition was not critical, became alarmed at his loss of blood and resorted to a blood transfusion. Two United States marines volunteered as blood donors end one was accepted. Marine officers who went to offer their condolences to the ambassador were told that bis liver had been penetrated by the machine gun blast. As the Ambassador fought for his life at the country hospital, news was received that 20 Japanese air* planes, in a terrific bombardment, destroyed the American owned Poplar Dairy in the suburbs, flying the American flag, and that a Japanese warship had sunk in flames, with ite crew of 91, the Chinese survey vessel Chlajlh A Japanese embassy spokesman expressed the ominious "hope” that foreign countries would bow to Japan’s blockade of the China coast and wvt try to send arms to China. He refused to discuss the attack on the British ambassador, which absorbed attention. The incident wrarfed for the moment the savage battle being fought on a 20-mile front north of the city.

But then came the threat of urgent danger from that quarter. The Chinese, inspired by deadliest hat- ; red, had all but immobilized a smashing Japanese infantry attack. Then, late l .day, the Japanese broke through. Danger of a Chinese rout becomes imminent and International settlement authorities rushed orders to the men at the barricades bordering Chinese areas to shoot to kill any armed Chineae soldiers who tried i?, rush them. Reinforcements were held ready. Everyone wondered what Britain would do about the shooting of her ambassador. British Japanese relations were brought to the moat delicate, dangerous point in many years. The ambassador had decided to come here for a most urgent conference with the commanders in chief of the British feet and garrison and consular and othe rofficials. His car flew a British Union Jack from its radiator as plain notification nt its British status. The trip was to be a fast one. Col. W. A. Lovat-Fraser, chief British military attache in China, and expert driver, took the wheel and the Chinese chauffeur was gtven a seat in the rear. Also in the car were the ambassador's private secretary, ' W. C. G. Graham and E. Hall Patch, i British adviser to the Chinese fin-' ance minlstery, who is also a British treasury official. ( The big car had roared through Wusih. A Japanese airplane swept along, high .-»ver the road. Its pilot dived the plane toward the British I car and its whipping flag. There' was a burst of machine gun bullets I and the ambassador slumped in his ! seat. Just ahead of the car In the middle of the road, a great bomb burst. o Youth Is Killed In Head-On Collision Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 26 —(U.R>— Francis G.
