yesterday morning tho Japanese
announced they had taken the town
0f-Klangwtvn, objective of the first
day of tho engagement. 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

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
