THREATS REPEATED
POSSIBLE SEA CLASH U.S. SHIPS FOR RUSSIA (Reed. Aug. 13, 9 a.m.) TOKIO, Aug. 12. The spokesman of the Japanese Information Bureau, Baron Ishii, in a statement to the press in Tokio to-day, again warned the United States that Tapan was “urgently concerned” over the shipment of supplies to Vladivostock, although he denied there had been any formal warning. He emphasised that Japan desired to maintain peace in the Pacific. Therefore American shipments of war supplies to Russia were “very embarrassing.” Informed Japanese quarters in Shanghai assert that any American effort to supply large quantities of war materials to Russia’s Far Eastern armies is likely to meet with vigorous opposition from Japan and might even involve American ships in Japanese naval action.
