The Chinese, holding that village against the full power of the enemy, were still hang ing on. Tho ground which the Japanese managed to hold brough the western) bulge of the right flank to a point : due north of tho western tip of Kiangwan. Every man not needed for the defense of other fronts had been thrown into the wedge driven into the Chinese force a mile north of Kiangwan. Before they called a halt for the day the Japanese had gained about 600 yards -In the face of vicious ma chine gun fire from the defenders along the central and south sectors. To the north, near Woosung creek, the Chinese were fighting on even terms. Despite the fact that they had lost much of the day's gain, the Japanese high command described the day's ad vance as a "substantial victory." At the Chinese headquarters there was Jubilation over the resistance of the Kiangwan troops. Reinforcements Made This morning the Japanese were throwing more men and sending heavier guns into the area north of Kiangwan. The Associated Press cor respondent saw several new compa nies being moved up to the front through the Japanese lines. Practically all the artillery and tanks which had been concentrated at the Kiangwan racecourse were moved Into the northern sector. Tho Japanese morning communique placed the day's casualties at 80 talli ed or wounded and said the Chinese losses probably would run between 300 and 400. The Japanese also took 15 prisoners. In the afternoon the Japanese threw their full force on the handful of defenders northwest of Kiangwan village, beat back the Chinese first lino and drove It into a disorderly re treat. The attack swept forward around the village, ripped through tho line and virtually surrounded the Kiang wan garrison. The artillery pounded the Chinese second line and 40 Japa nese planes rained 250-pound bombs on the defenders. Then the attack halted for a time while the heavy guns continued their withering fire on the Chinese rear. The countar-attack appeared to have taken the Japanese by surprise, for It carried the ChlneBaback across the shell-torn ground and Kiangwan was still In their hands. There wero reports that two to three Japanese divisions were due to day or Saturday and that a big Japa nese drive would begin next week.

" Sailors aboard the Italian warship Libia, struck by a Chinese shell but undamaged yesterday, also went about their chores of deck -scrubbing with steel helmets on their heads. Propaganda Proceeds The battle of propaganda here also proceeds apace.

Tho war office announced tonight that as a result of a strong attack by the Japanese In the vicinity of Miao chungchen, on the Shanghai "front," the Chinese retreated a "short dis tance." "This afternoon," however, the an nouncement said, "the Chinese coun ter attacked, driving the Japanese back after several hours of heavy fighting, the Chinese recovering their, lost positions." .

Had Japan wished to bargain naval terms against matters embodied in the nine power treaty, he said, she certainly would have delayed agreement indefinitely. Charges Ignorance "Mr. Stlmson displays an ignor ance of the history of the Washington conference," he said. The views of the Japanese govern ment regarding the applicability of the nine power treaty to the present situation In China, he said, were presented clearly In paragraph seven of Tokyo's reply to the recent note of the league council and also In passages In Foreign Minister Yoshi- zawa's statement of February 21, written for the Associated Press, which began: "It would be equally Impossible and undesirable to repudiate the Washington nine nower treaty . . and ending "To face the facts is (ho, first requisite of statesmanship. This, ho said, represented the views of the foreign minister and the gov ernment In connection with the Is sues raised in Secretary Stimson's letter. Tho portion of Foreign Minister Yoshlzawa's statement referred to above read as follows: "It would be equally impossible and undesirable to repudiate the Wash ington nine power treaty which Is a great beacon standing alone In the mazes of Chinese International rela tions. "We cannot pretend, however, that this succinct treaty furnishes any thing like a complete guide to inter national dealings with China. Had China since the fall of the Manchu dynasty, ever presented a coherent, responsible front to the world, things might have been different. "But in the present distracted state of that country, ravaged as it is by the rival . ambitions of contending militarists schemes, the nine power treaty becomes Inadequate. It con templated some sort of cosmos where there never has really been anything but chaos. "Therefore, while Japan Is fully de termined to live up to the provisions of the treaty as far as they go, she feels they do not go very far. Would a new treaty, the product of a new conference like that of Washington, provo any more complete? We can nob help feeling In the kaleidoscopic state 'of affairs in China, that it might produce more harm than good to endeavor to lay down In confer enco fixed lines of conduct and de tailed provisions for their applica tion In that continually changing scene. Welcomes Co-operation In Some Cases "It is the settled policy of Japan to deal with each case as It arises by the simple method of direct nego tiations with China. "When the interests of other coun tries are Involved Japan heartily wel comes their close co-operation. But It Is feared that any attempt to frame ruler, for the multifarious and con fusing affairs In China would be an undertaking whose magnitude would be out of proportion to its effective results. "For the same reason I do not think there would be much advant age In further definition of the terms employed In the nine power treaty. The existing terms seemed adequate when the treaty was framed and terms seeming adequate today may be wholly Inappropriate six months hence. What is wanted rather Is a frank recognition of the facts. "Tho defect In the Washington treaty. It seems to me. Is that It envisaged China not as It was but as the powers thought It ought to be. This has deprived that Instru ment of much of its value. To face the facts is the , first requisite of statesmanship." - Uecull Nunkhtg Bombardment The spokesman recalled that - In 1027 tho American and British navies found It necessary to bombard Nan king, despite the nine power pact, when Chinese nationalist troops ran riot In that city. Japan is doing the same thing now. In principle at Shanghai, he saldi land the only difference Is In the scale of the operations. Ho demanded to know how Japan could have Invoked the nine power treaty for protection of her rights In Manchuria, and to whom she could have appealed. , Certalnlv not to the Chinese as signatories or that pact," he said. We do not believe we could have protected our rights except by direct action. Treaties do not remove a nation's fundamental right to act in self-defense." As for the Manchuria n lssuo, he asserted that Japan Is doing nothing there In violation of the nine power treaty, and he added that Japan has no Intention of Infringing upon Chincso sovereignty in the region of Shanghai. Tokyo, he said, contends that the powers signing the nine power pact in 1922 hardly could havo taken the "naive" view that Chinese sovereignty and Integrity actually ex Is 1 ted at that time. Rather, he went on, the powers stated at the time that they hoped the Chinese would work toward at tainment of these objectives while the outside nations would refrain from any action which might Inter fere with Chinese efforts. The spokesman remarked that Mr. Stlmson appears to believe, the Chi ncso still are able to achieve full sovereignty and territorial, integrity if they are left to their own resources, Japan holds a different opinion, he said, contending that the Chinese by themselves never will bo able to achieve these qualities. ( In the desire that China achieve strength and peace and unity, said the spokesman, Japan differs In no way from the United States in spirit sho merely advocates different methods.
