BOTH WARNED
BRITISH REPRESENTATIONS RUGBY, Saturday. Representations have again been made to the Chinese and Japanese, warning each side that they will be held strictly responsible for any loss of life or property of British nationsls within the Shanghai International Settlement caused by the respective armed forces. A general warning was issued today by the British Gonsul-General (Mr. J. F. Brenan), pointing out that resumption of fighting may be on a large scale, with a danger of shells landing in the Settlement, especially in the Hongkew and Yangtse-poo districts. British subjeets are advised to take cover while the fighting is in progress. The defences are considered sufficient to prevent actUal fighting occurring within the Settlement. A scheme has been prepared for the evacuation of British women and children from Shanghai, should such a step become necessary.
