PROTESTS TO JAPAN CAUSE NO CHANGES (Continued From Page One) and the destroyer Hazu opened fire at about half an hour before lasi midnight. At 1:30 this morning the shelling' stopped. The lire was directed at the river front area which is called Hsiakwan and Is about five miles from Nonklng proper. lNnver Plant Hit The first thing to go was the power plant and the city was plunged into darkness as the lights went out. Immediately the long fingers of searchlights probed the dark from the army airfield, searching the skies for Japanese airplanes. The Japanese gunners scored sevor al direct hits on the forts bu the forta did not reply. Japanese marines were landed unr der cover of the fire but they were met at the docks by Chinese troops waiting for them behind sandbag barriers. . The fire of machine guns kept up for half an hour but it was impos sible to determine the extent of the casualties. The Chinese said this engagement started when a Japanese patrol near the waterfront railroad station open ed fire on a Chinese detachment. The warships swung Into action immediately. The American consul-general said right after the bombardment ended that he wos not evacuating Nanking's American residents. ITALY MAKES PKOTKST ROME.

For Japanese troops are determined to occupy Harbin to safe guard foreign Uvea and property. The Rengo (Japanese) news qgency correspondent reported on engage ment which began early yesterday between Ting Chao's forces and Jap anese troops was still going on early this morning, with Japanese pound ing hard on the Chinese right wing. Artillery fire was audible at Harbin and the Chinese apparently were in retreat. The Japanese wero expected to enter Harbin tomorrow. The retreat northward from Har bin was expected because of a threat of a Japanese advance from two di rections, one from the south and the other probably from Tsltslhar. Hy MnrrH J. llurrls SHANGHAI; China. Tuesday, Feb. 2 ( Shaughat boiled with indig nation today at reports that Japanese warships had shelled Nanking, land ing marines under the protection of gunfire from destroyers, 1 Thirty, thousand of the finest troops in all China were there, and it appeared probable ther.e would, be a major engagement. .. Martial law was declared In the in ternatlonal settlement here last night and the streets were! kept clear of civilians while United States marines and other foreign troops threw up barbed wire entanglements in cross streets, planting machine guns at strategic points. . , ; American marines and other for eign troops patrolled the settlement streets and working parties hurried tho job of throwing up barbed; wire entanglements along the borders of the settlement and the boundaries of the individual foreign areas. . Only . the main, streets ' were left. open to traffic. Across the others were barbed wire hurdles ten feet high. , . ' Most people were glad enough to stay. Inside. Anybody who went out had to have a pass with, his photo graph pasted on- it. Occasionally the bark, of a sentry could be heard, halting soma passerby, and. demand ing his pass. . American Flag Torn Down Machine gUn bullets from, a Jap anese destroyer whipped through, the American-owned Texaco, oil plant on the Whangpo river, and a Japanese marine patrol in the Hongkew dis trict ripped down the American flag over a school for Chinese boys. No one at the Texaco plant was hurt, but company officials filed a protest, with the American consul. They said it was only by good luck the, bullets had not set fire to. the oil. storage tanks. One representative of the company said some Chinese ashore had set off a bunch of firecrackers and the Japanese-destroyer probably thought it. was being fired upon. - Dr. John Hawk, director of property owned by the- American Methodist Eplscopa 1 Church South, - reported Japanese marines had Invaded the school for Chinese boys which the mission operates in the Hongkew district. ... Staff Not Molested They pipped down the American flag, hut did not molest any; of the staf;, It. was their second visit. Dr. Hawk said. Ijast Friday they ransacked the place, charging that quantities of anti-Japanese ' literature had been issued, from the property. They dis covered; no such documents. Wireless reports from Nanking said two Japanese cruisers and one de stroyer were shelling the city while marines were put ashore. ' The Jap anese have seven ships there. One American naval; vessel and one Bri tish ship also ave there. -, - Yesterday morning a. crack division of 30,000 Chinese national guards men, the pick of China's fighting men, streamed Into Nanking and took up. positions on tho- city walls behind sandbag- fortifications. They were equipped - with German autor matio rifles, and unlike many Chinese ti'oops were well disciplined and well uniformed. . To Sto-y at Nanking Originally-: these troops were. in-, tended fb.Mrvlccr&ore in Shanghai' but with today's developments it appeared they probably would be needed to defend Nanking. As recently as Sunday night the mayor of Nanking was assured by the, Japanese consul that the seven ships, in the - Yangtze river would open no offensive against the city ir the Chinese troops refrained from hostile action, ' Before the shelling began civilians moved back In droves away from the waterfront." Last night some Jap anese landing parties had been put on1 the docks, but there were no open hostilities then. Some of the refugees fleeing what appeared to be certain trouble had gone down to Nanking from Shang hai to escape danger here. With the increasing menace at Nanking many of them piled into British steamers on the way back to Shanghai. Shanghai Quieter Up here there was ; unaccustomed calm except for the sniping which still gees on and Is so common now that 16 Is considered a normal state of affairs.' Yesterday there was shooting from somewhere near the central post of fice In the international settlement. Crowds of pedestrians ! ducked for safety and Japanese marines hurried up with machine guns but were un able to locate the source of the shots. They said Chinese snipers were at work. The .ttlemen(, authorities put a guard m tne postomce. Tho Chinese postal employes fled the building in terror and the whole postal service was paralyzed. In the night the Japanese ' marines threw up barricades all around the build ing. Under martial low which went Into effect at 10 O'clock last night and will continue Indefinitely, no civilian was permitted In the streets of the international settlement between 10 p. m. and 4 a. m. At all other times of the day or night every one must hove a passport bearing his photo graph. The Chapel district, where the most serious fighting of the past week took place, was quieter but It appeared trouble might break out again In Hongkew where the Japanese were In control. .section In Darkness That section was In completo dark ness, for all the lights hod been shot out ond some of the wires hod been cut. The Japanese threw up barri cades and barbed wire entanglements which isolated Hongkew from the rest of the city. Yesterday's "China Press" came on the streets with screaming headlines over a story asserting the Japanese were preparing for a new drive and Intended to "reduce to a minimum" their cooperation with the Interna tional settlement garrison. In the, harbor lay four American destroyers, and six more American ships, including the cruiser Houston, were on the way from Manila.

Re ports from, various river ports as far west as Hankow, 050 miles away, told of foverish preparations by the Jap anese communities against possible Chinese attacks. Scenes of the greatest confusion filled the streets of Hongkew and the important Nanking road when, with out -warning,' they were spattered with a rain of bullets from rifles and machine; guns. A sniper's shot brought a fierce burst , of . fire from uniformed Jap anese patrols and thousands of peo ple, panic-striken, sought safety in a wild flight. Negotations by the American and British consult to bring about peace between .the Japanese and Chinese broke down. There wero roports that a truce had been agreed upon but the foreign' authorities denied them and said' -the peace negotiations had not changed Blnce the close of a par ley Sunday '-afternoon a4; which no agreement ' wh's ''reached. ' ,'-' " The arrival of the American de stroyers and the knowledge that addi tional international forces wero on the way, together with the lull in firing throughout the city, eased the tension In the foreign colony. Be sides the six warships reported to have sailed from Manila it was said another destroyer tender would fol low soon. . 1 VltOTKST FII.KH TOKYO, Feb. 1 W) United States Ambassador W. Cameron Forbes filed a formal protest with the Japanese government tonight against the use of the international settlement at Shanghai a3 a base of operations against the Chinese. It was not a written protest, but the foreign office regarded it as for mal nevertheless, and as something more than diplomatic representation it has considered other communica tions forwarded' by Washington. Tho British ambassador made a similar protest and the ambassador from France conferred with the for eign minister. The American protest contends that the Japanese are aggravating the situation at Shanghai by using the international settlement as a base. It was understood the British pro test contended the Japanese ' In Shanghai. - went further than was necessary, thereby endangering the lives of British residents. Subject to the approval of the Bull cabinet, the ministers of war, navy and foreign affairs decided tonight to recommend sending a full army division to Shanghai. It was under stood these troops, if they were sent, would replace the 5,000 marines how ashore" at, Shanghai. In official circles, the implication that Japan Is aggravating the situa tion was resented and It was con tended that the Japanese are doing no more than play their allotted part in the general defense scheme.
