Gloomy Outlook Seen For
Europe By Paris,
Daladier Says Threat of
Warfare Has Become
Most Serious Since the
? World War; British Or
der Men Into Training
Camps
London, June 27. - Groat Britain
Prance tonight placed thousands of
troops on war footing for possible
emergency before the end of summer
ond warned that the threat of war is
more serious than at aay time since
1918. , ...
The British war office notified 406,
000 officers and men of the terri
torial army, corresponding to the
American national guard, to clear
up their personal affairs before re
porting for training in August and
spoke of "the event of an emergency.
Premier Edouard Daladier of
France told the Chamber of Depu
ties that "the situation in Europe and
the world today is the gravest in 20
years" and said that unless there is
a relaxation of Europe's tension, none
of France's 1,250,000 men-at-arms
will be released in September and
October as had beep intended.
A aeries of ominous developments
combined to stir Europe's fears on
the eve of the 20th anniversary of
the Treaty of Versallies?the sourse
of many of the continent's troubles
today..
Developments.
They included:
1?Germany's mobilization affect
ing 1,500,000 men, the swift comple
tion of German fortifications along
the Polish frontier and assertions of
Nazi leaders that they "will not wait
long" for satisfaction of Fuehrer
Adolph Hitler's demands for the res
toration of Danzig.
2 Sudden closing of the Polish
frontier at Steinfliess, near Zoppot,
for 10 hours, supposedly for the pur
pose of constructing Polish tank traps
near the Danzig border. The frontier
was ft"**** from 2 a. m., to noon Mon
day.
3 _ Increasing complications in
Great Britain's dispute with Japan m
the Far East, including extension of
Japanese blockades to include the
porta of Foochow and Wenchow and
British threats to use warships to
escort British merchant vessels, if
necessary.
4 Soviet Russa's threat to with
draw into isolation unless Great Bri
tain and France speedily meet Mos
cow's terms for a tri-power military
piHarvo bolstering the European
"peace front" against Nazi-Fascist
agression. The Russian threat was
understood in Paris to have resulted
ip new British concessions in a desper
ate effort to save the negotiations
ftrom collapse.
5?Reports that British and French
grmy, navy, and force command
ers, in conference in Singapore, had
derided ?*?.* their combined forces
were sufficient to "bold off indefinite
ly" any strong Japanese sea and air
1***^ on British and French posses
ions in South Asia.

with a view of providing a standing

Britain's defense moves were given ?
emphasis by the statements of French ?
Premier Daladier before the Chamber JH
of Deputies. II
"Three million men are assembled ?
at our frontiers, not counting semi- I
military organisations," Daladier said. I
"Munitions factories are working fev- II

and maneuvers are announced, which I
are more important than usual.
"Propoganda which obviously is II

energies and Anglo-French solidarity II
without which there is no hope of I

"Foreign propaganda surrounds II
France with a net of intrigue and I
espionage." J
Daladier spoke in connection with ?
a degree adjourning parliment until I

Americans Again

Japese Edict
Reaffirm Policy of Lib

Tientsin Tension Re
laxes
Shanghai, Julie 28.?A firm Amer
ican rejection of a Japanese warning
for all foreign vessels to leave the
ports of Wenchow and Poochow by
noon Thursday (11 p. m., Wednesday,
E. S. T.,) marked today's develop
ments in Japan's friction With West
ern nations along the China coast.
Japan's warning accompanied a dec
laration of her intention to occupy
the two ports. Already Japan has
seized nearly all China's major coas
tal cities. Only a few minor ports in
the south remain in Chinese hands.
Clarence E. Gauss, United States
consul-general at Shanghai, notified
Japanese officials that Japan would
be held responsible for any damage
to American interests in such opera
tions.
Meanwhile, there was marked les
sening of tension at Tientsin, where
the Japanese army has been block
ading the British and French conces
sions since June 14. This coincided
with the announcement that Japan
had agreed to negotiate at Tokyo for
settlement of the crisis. Tientsin
food conditions greatly improved.
Gauss reasserted the declaration of
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, comman
der-in-chief of the United States
Asiatic fleet, that American naval
vessels would go wherever necessary
to protect American citizens. Ad
miral Yarnell. had reaffirmed this
policy only last week as the Japanese
warned foreign vessels to evacuate,
Swatow.
The British yesterday took a sim
ilar ptand regarding Foochow and
Wenchow, which lie about 600 and
300 miles south of Shanghai, respec
tively.* (The French foreign office
announced that France also had re
jected the Japanese warning.)
At Neither Fort*
Today there were no United States
naval vessels at either of the two
ports. The Japanese were reported
preparing for direct attacks against
them, and villages outside Foochoy
were bombed from the air. Ni*
Japanese transports were reported to
be in the vicinity.
From the foreign mission colony
at Foochow, where 20 Americans live, .
came a message saying "all remain
ing." apparently inferring to all fqf- .
eigners. Eighteen foreign mission
aries, including Americans, were re
ported-to have left'Wenchow by ttye
British steamer Joan Moller.
Chinese dispatches said that Jap
anese landing parties near the tip :
ports thus far numbered only a f?p r
hundred men. ?
At Tientsin markets in the British
and French concessions had fresh sup
plies of vegetables, meat and fish
after two lean weeks, and bustlifjjpr
crowds, with little sign of the men(pl
strain of the past fortnight, jammed
the market areas.

"In any of the several forms in
