The small arms were silent as the big guns Jarred the city. It was not possible to go close to the lines, but from the sound the six-inch pieces hrtd been Bet up close to the Japanese headquarters In the Hongkew area. Not long before this phase of tho battle began the associated press correspondent, touring behind the Chinese lines, saw reinforcements coming up and the battle-worn vet erans going out. i The 19th Chinese army is supposed to bo the best fighting unit in tho country, but to western eyes they flocmcd deficient in training and cer tainly they lacked much In equip ment. ; nut' 1 some Wenpouti Antiquated ! They carried guns of a dozen var ieties, some of them antiquated long barreled pistols and some of them rifles long outmoded. A few wore steel helmets obviously taken from tho Japanese, but most of them had no helmets at all. Tho most impressive thing about them was their extreme youth. Many of them certainly wero not more than 14 years old. Nevertheless these youngsters were as stoical as any votcran who ever wos under fire. I Behind the Chinese front line an' Intricate system of trenches seamed tho countryside and there were scores of sandbag shelters In exposed spots. , Staiigcly, well Inside the Chinese territory a squad of Japanese blue- jackets stood guard over a Japanese cotton mill. The place bristled with ! machine guns but so far there has been no attack on tho mill, although , the bluejackets were in constant I danger from snipers. Kcfugocs on Roads There was still a considerable clvll- ' lan population close up behind the lines, but the roads away from the zono of battle were crowded with I refugees. On the rood to Nanking especially It was very difficult to pilot an auto- ' mobile through the streom of hu manity. Tho big parado of Chinese under heavy burdens of their house hold goods also was marching stead ily along the tracks of the railway to Nanking. Every now and then a Japanese airplane droned overhead. Nobody could see it In the dark, but at the sound the crowds would throw them selves on their faces, turning occa sionally to peer through- the night at the sky. CORPORAL AT 15 SHANGHAI, Sunday. Feb. 7 m Corporal Zee, of the Chinese army, is only 15 and not quite as tal as his rifle, out ne s naving xne time oi his life. I He loomed in the dark before an ! automobile touring behind the Chi , neae lines early this morning and ; asked lor n lift like any hitch-hiker. It turned out that he had Just j walked three miles over to Chenju for a bowl of rice and was on the . way back to the trenches. "I haven't slept for two days and It's cold out there," said he "but we're having a fine time. When the real fighting begins we'll drive out the Japanese and take back all of Chapel." .

TEST MOBILIZATION IS CANCELLED SALEM, Feb. 6 m Vlans for a test mobilization of the Oregon na tional guard, scheduled for next week; were cancelled Friday by Major Gen eral George A. White, commander of the national guard in the northwest states. "While the mobilization Is held annual and is purely a routine of training, it is necessary to use tele graphs and radio to get the troops together in a surprise call," Major General White said. "A call at thlB time might be mis--understood by the public as a mili tary gesture, rather than an annual' routine event. This especially Is true since It Is Impracticable to give out advance notice of the assembly cov ering 31 counties. "Therefore the 'test will be post poned until later in the year."
