It is about half way between Chapel and Woo, sung, anA ttn important strategic point. Klangwan's Fall Imminent : Tho Chinese denied this and etiriy today it appeared the Chinese- were right, but the fall of Kiting wan, rtle nnd continuous attacks from tlie air tlie Oliinese offered only passive resistance, taking to their dugouts ond waiting for the bar rage to lift. The Japanese Infantry, advanced cautiously in scattered formation, taking advantage of every mound and hummock and deserted building for protection, pressing forward foot by foot and mopping up' as they went. . As a result of the day's gains, the Japanese front was straightened out almost in direct line from Chapel to Woosung creek, and only the Kiong wan sector hod not been crossed. On . the right and left flank the Japanese encountered little opposi tion. They took tike village of Mta Htuig Chan, north of Kiangwan, with out any trouble, and another village, Moug Zah Ka, with scarcely great er difficulty. VToosn iig Mass of Ruins The village of Woosung was a mass of ruins. Six Japanese (destroyers shuttled back and forth along the Woosung river front, pouring shells Into the whole district. Seven Japanese planes kept the de stroyers on the range. Not until sundown yesterday when the Chinese guns at Woosung forts apparently had been silenced, did the bombard ment subside. There was no Japanese offensive movement against Woosung, how ever. It was impossible to determine th number of casualties In the day's fighting. The Japanese said theirs were comparatively light but they believed the Chinese losses had been heavy. The earth literally shook and shivered Saturday with the terrible fury of tho Japanese attack. Doseus or roaring .airplanes rained showers of the most powerful bombs upon the well -cove red Chinese trenches. Heavy artillery and big guns from the war ships In the river laid down a red tempest of death and fire along a 16-mllo front from Chapei to Woo sung. steei-neimeted rows or Japanese In-tmt. ...III. .n.llMl.i...

Quests who completed three tables artjllery barrage, aided by a fleet of tanks which nosed their way stub bornly across the marshy battle ground. . Ambulances Busy It was only a short time until the ambulances began pushing to the hospitals carrying wounded of both sides. In the Klanewan sector, where the Japanese tried desperately to punc ture the zig-zag. Chinese line, de fended by two divisions of the crack troops of General Chiang Kai-Shek, former Chinese president, the fight ing was most severe. Tne Japanese threw their heaviest attack against the center, hoping to split the Chi nese lino and envelop- both of its ends at Chapei and Woosung. , japaneso naval oriiciois announced shortly after noon that the Japanese had token Kiangwan, but the Chi nese immediately denied it, .declare ing they had pushed the Japanese back and overcome a fleet of their tanks with a hand grenade barrage putting one of the tanks out of commission. . Later in the day it appeared to observers that the Japanese - were making a slow advance, with every inch of it disputed by a subborn Chinese resistance. The Japanese said Chinese artillery .shells struck one of the destroyers .in the river, killing cap mm and live men. Shells Hit Settlement ' , Five shells fell In the Internation al settlement, landing In the area patrolled by, tho United States ma rines, narrowly mlBsing the marines' billets and greatly endangering their position. Three Chinese were fatal ly wounded and others less seriously nurt ny meso sneus. The shells were believed to have come, from a Chl nece battery in Chapel. Tho battle began at 8:50 a. hi., ono hour and 60 minutes after the Jap anese ultimatum expire!. With .the zero hour, Japanese airplanes swoop- nu over vne.. woii-coverea unuiese "Hlndenburg"' line releasing tons of high explosive bombs on the Chinese defenses. They were followed by a tremendous burst of heavy artillery flro and screeching shells churned the Chinese positions, covering them with qlouds of smoke and dust. Tlie Japanese said both sides had suffered heavy casualties at Kiang wan, wmch they maintained was de fended by two divisions of former President Chiang Kai-Shek's Chinese army, but that no figures were avail able ' . ' Late in the afternoon Japan's aerial bombers increased the intensity of their attack upon the area west of Kiangwan. Reports sold they were. using tne most powemii bombs in a desperate effort to blast the Chinese from the complicated network ol trenches extending in zig-zag fash ion to tho north and to the south of that point. 1 Semi-official Japanese sources said the heaviest attack was being centered around Kiangwan In the .hope of capturing it and .exeoutiug an encircling movement or unapei. The two divisions of General Chiang Kai-Shek's army were understood, however, to be putting up the stout est resistance. . Hold Fnnenil For British Soon after the Japanese offensive started a long funeral procession threaded the streets of Shanghai. It was the funeral of the two British sailors who were fat-oily wounded by. a shell last Wednesday. i ne procession leit xne nospttoi and proceeded to the cathedral while tlie guns roared , and Japanese air planes swooped over Chapei hear by. Approximately 1 500 persons marched in the procession. Including the British, American and French ministers to China, British consular officials in full uniform, military bands, detachments of marines and sailors, and a number of officers of foreign units stationed here. Defenses of foreign owned property were hastily strengthened as the big drive began. A detachment of Amer ican sailors guarded the entrance to the American-owned Yangtze poo plant of the Shanghai Power com pany where they raised a sand bag barricade six feet high and lined It With heavy brick walls to guard against danger from shells.
