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

ASKS CHINESE TO WITHDRAW
MUKDEN, Manchuria. Feb. 2 (Tues
day) Generol Honjo. the Jap
anese high commander in Manchuria,
sent word today to Ting Chao, the
Chinese leader in the Harbin sector,
that" It would be best for him to
withdraw. 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

the bark, of a sentry could be heard,
halting soma passerby, and. demand

American-owned Texaco, oil plant on
the Whangpo river, and a Japanese
marine patrol in the Hongkew dis

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.
A 'British cruiser with 800 men

All through the entire lower sec
tion of the Yangtze River valley a
wave of apprehension spread. 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

agreement ' wh's ''reached. ' ,'-' "
The arrival of the American de
stroyers and the knowledge that addi

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

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.
