SEANGd-IAA. Aug. 9—(AP)—A shooting affray on the outskirts o! Shanghai 1n which an officer and a seaman of the Japanese Navy were killed and a Chinese gendarme wounded tonight shifted the spot- light to the month-old Chinese- Japanese conflict of this largest city of China.

The clash occurred at an entrance to the I-Iungjao military airdrome. Just west of Shanghai. Chinese said the Japanese officer fired first when his motorcar was denied entry and wounded a, chin- Boo luard. The Japanese version wlw, that Chinese fired on the Jap- anese without provocation.

The officer's body remained in possession of the Chinese "peace preservation” troops guarding the alrdrome, Japanese officers said, while the seamanks body was re- lXJrl/ed still lying in the field where he was shot. '

llEAVY niullti at LIGHTNING NEAR uoucuu

ADAMSVILLE, N. B., Aug. 9 -- Flames destroyed three houses, two barns and a store in this Kent County vi lage 31 miles from Mono- ton before the fire could be con- trolled tonight.

The outbreak occurred when liglltlllng struck a barn owned by J. B. Gallant. Hts house and store al- so were rared. The spreading flames then consumed a. residence and burn owned by M llet Arsenault as well as Edgar Gallants house.

All men in the village of 500 inhabitants turned out to battle the fire and save the community from destruction. Their efforts were ald- ed by the Moncton Fire Depart- ment and danger of further dam- age was averted.

Volunteer workers, however, con- tlllued to fight a woods fire set by flying embers. About 100 men re- mailled on duty as fire ate through the dry trees.

The electrical storm caused dam- age at other points in Kent County. A house and barn owned by Joseph J. Vatour at St. Louis were de- stroyed after lghtning struck the barn. Charles Lawson ,at Calls Mills, lost a barn and several out- buildings, Total damage from lightning was estimated at $35,000.

Sino - Japanese Conflict Shifts

Shooting AffI-‘E? In Shanghai Heightens Tension In Month- old Conflict.

preaches the Chinese gdnllnistered communities of Chapel and Kiang- wan, o. district which suffered heavily in thefihanghai war of 1932 and has seen Sine-Japanese friction on many later occasions.

The Chinese ran up barricades and put out heavy patrols of gen- darmes along the main roads of

the district, fearing an incursion.

from the huge barracks nearby of Japan's permament naval defence force, to which both victims be- longed.

The Shanghai killings over- shadowed momentarily larger- scale developments in conquered northern l-Iopeh, where the Jap- anese were tightening their grip on Peipfng, Tientsin and the sur- rounding country, and the con- tinued discussions in Nanking of the possibility of averting formal war between Japan and China.

Chinese dispatches declared the Japanese army was preparing for a drive northwest from Peiping to carry the Japanese flag through the mountain passes to the broad Chahar and Suiyuan tableands on Mongoliap southern fringe.

Five thousand Japanese troops were said to be moving to attack Chinese forces at Nankow Pass. 30 miles northeast of Peiping on the Peiping-Sufyuan Railway, which the Chinese say Japan wants in seize.

The main body of this Japan- ese expedition was reported mov- ing from the Pelping area, but at least 1.000 men were marching toward Nankow from Kupelkow, a pass through the great wall from Jehol. part of Manchoukuo, into Hopeh.

Quinta Suffering From Slight Colds

OALLANDEZZ, Ont., Aug. 9- (CP)—No anxiety is felt for the four Dionne quintuplets who have contracted alight colds "from out- side sources," Dr. A. R. Dafoe, their physician, emphasized lo- night.

Emilie, ill last week with a. sore throat, is well now and is consid- ered immune from the slight in- disposition which affects the other fotlr famous sisters-Yvonne. An- nette, Cecile and Marie. They wzll not be on exhibition to the touring public for two or three days, Dr. Dafoe said. '

"Emilie is now quite well,’ the Doctor said, “but there's no point in bringing one of them out alone to lock at the crowd. Besides the others would be lonesome."

The children are allowed the run of the p‘ay yard as usualbut under the close direction of the nurse in charge, who guards against their getting tired. Emilie is not separated from her sisters and no change has been made in their diet.

t v l ET FiiEil PLANS FLIGHT to urw YllllK

Demonstrate Feasi- bility Of Air Service Via North Pole.

MOSCOW. Aug 10-—(CP Haves) -—Carrying four passengers and cargo which will bring the total weight of his plane to 35 tons, Sigmund Levaneffsky, famous sov- iet flier, will take off today from a. nearby airport for a. flight to New York via the North Pole, provided the weather is favorable.

Levaneffs-ky expects to send his giant four-motored craft, of an entirely new type of construction, down the runways at about six P. M. (1 P. M. ADT).

He lilting to stop at Fairbanks, Alaska, to refuel, and then aim for Chicago, whence he hoped to finish the hop to New York.

The route selected by Levaneffsky is longer, but considered safer, than that chosen by other Soviet aviators who have helped blaze the trail for commercial air service by way of the north pole between the sov- iet union and the United States.

Levaneifsky had hoped to take off two days ago but was prevent- ed by heavy ralnfalls.

Ievaneffsky. with V. Levchenko,

in August-September, 1938, after a daring and difficult trip over the Arctic regions.

'I'h.e flight was hailed by soviet officials as another'trall blazed in the struggle for establishment of long distance flying on a ‘pr-no- tlcal basis. .

The flier intends to fly to Fair- banks, Alaska, across the Pole, then head down ac-Ioss Canada to New York. There was a possibility, how- ever, that he would make Chicago his destination, depending upon conditions he meets.

Levaneffky was forced back from a similar trip two years ago with a broken feed line. He \\'lll attempt to show the possbility of regular airline passenger service between the Soviet Union and North Amer- ca.

Levaneffsky must leave soon or the comparatively favorable season for such flights will have ended. Irate tonlrht he awalbd reports from the Soviet floatlnmpolar camp which lvlrelessed earlier in the day that snow. fog and low visibil- ity were current.
