Shanghai, To-day. According to the "China Press" this morning," the anti-Japanese tension has been tightened by one morë incident. A clock store in the heart of Shanghai was- * bombed last night - by the Bloody Group⠀⠀⠀presumably, since last week the owners » of the store are stated to have received a warning let- er from the Group demand- ́ing that a' search be" made for "evidences of Japanese merchandise.

Despite the fact that a search

WAS

made and no evidences found, without warning last night a bomb was thrown from a motor-car during the height of the traffic rush, in which the bombers quickly disappeared.

The shop sustained some dam- age, but, there were no casualties.
