SWATOW INCIDENT: BRITAIN MEETS ALL JAPANESE REQUESTS

WHILE Hongkong naval officials state they have no knowledge of the report, "Domci" announces this morn- ing that the British Consul at Swatow has informed the Japanese authorities that Britain accepts the Japanese requests in connection with the incident this week at Kakchiao in which, it was alleged, a Chinese was injured as a result of British sailors intervening in a demonstra- tion.

According to the Domei re- port the British authorities have complied with the Japanese re- quests in toto, and, following i negotiations, which at one time assumed a delicate atmosphere, have agreed to the following points:

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"

LONDON, Aug. 10 (UP).—Warnings and counter-warnings were a feature of diplomatic activity in Europe to-day, as the impression grew in British and Polish circles that the signal for over- whelming German pressure against Poland may be Hitler's speech at Nuremberg on August 27.

Following a four day visit to Warsaw, the Polish Ambassador to London, Count Raczysnki, who returned to London to-day, has informed the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, that Poland is gravely concerned at Germany's increasingly threatening attitude.

WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE

The Ambassador stressed the importance of the fact that Germany's rapidly expanding military preparations are within easy striking distance of Poland.

Two million German troops will be mobilised by August 25, when Germany will celebrate Hindenburg's famous victory against the Russians at Tannenberg. The celebrations will culminate in Hitler's speech two days later.
