Harris (Associated Press Staff Correspondent) (Copyright. 1932. by the V Associated Press) SlANGHAI, March I (AV-Japanese officials claimed late .this afternoon the entire Chinese lineV'frorri CJhapei northward through the western en virons of Kiangwan to Maochangchen, was'drlven back -by their jtorces in the most terrific battle the Shang hai front has seen. Baoked up by 12,000 reinforcements who landed here during the last 36 hours, the. Japanese early this morn ing began a tremendous assault along the1 whole front. They used artillery, airplanes, machine guns, and a squadron of tanks ;in the tremend ous push which Tokyo expected to defeat the Chinese, sooner than League of Nation's peace proposals could become operative. Trie Japanese lines struck with a fury unknown heretofore in the con flict, their -tanks dashing backward and forward like maddened .'mon- sters. They said they had achieved an advance of more" than a mile. 1 Trie claim was1 made from the new ly established headquarters of Gen eral Yoshlnorl Shlrakawa at the Kungdah cotton mil). Just outside the eastern extremity settlement, where Oeneral Kenkichl Uyeda maintained his headquarters until the beginning of the Kiangwan battle oh February 20. 700 Chi new Wounded - More than 700 wounded Chinese were brought back -from the front lines into the crowded settlement hospitals Up to late this afternoon, and . the ambulances continued a steay trek to and from the battle fields; Advised to Evacuate Americans living along the railway line which the Japanese have threat ened to bombard to prevent .move ment of Chinese reinforcements, were advised today-by Edwin S. Cunning ham, the consul general, to evacuate. In . their warning to Mayor Wu Toh-Chch yesttrdoy,' the Japanose said they would begin operations to morrow to destroy the railway. There i ,arjo more than .60 Americans in Soo chow, but this is considered outside the danger area. Late tonight the .rumble of artll- 1 lory fire and the cracks of the rifles still set up a terrific din along the entire front. As evening approached the firing was concentrated on the Chinese left wing., south of Kiang wan. A spokesman for the Japanese Intimated that their casualties also 1 hod been very heavy. A Japanese 1 colonel and a captain, he said, were killed by machine gun fire In as saulting Chinese trenches. A fruitless attempt to blow up two Japanese warships In the Whangpoo river today resulted in on afternoon of terror for the international set tlement while the most spectacular battle of the season of hostilities raged along the- line from Chapel to Kiangwan. -, Fear Earthquake Two powerful mines exploded near the flagship Idzumo and - the Jap anese cruiser 'Oi' in' the river early this afternoon and caused hundreds of dwellers In the International set tlement to rush from their homes screaming "earthquake." But when the shouting was over, the warships were found to be unharmed. . . .The explosions rocked , buildings throughout the city. Shortly after they happened a party of Japanese sailors left the flagship Idzumo ' in An armed launch, proceeded a short distance down river and arrested six Chinese in two sampans, accusing them of being connected with the explosion. As a result of these developments County Clerk's Of f iw ln "Dog ;Xcse Rush9 Licenses for 306 dogs were 4 issued by the coUhty clerk, C. K. McCormlck, by last night, 4 and the time of obtalnlngjl- $ censes without an extra feo $ of $2, was extended until this $ evening. Forty dogs this mom- ing received licenses, and many 3 more owners were expected to $ apply during tho afternoon. 4 Less than 100 dogs had been $ licensed, near the end of last week. Before he bl wflS passed In the last legislature exempt- 4 lng all dogs In towns the size $ of La Grande from -licensing S by the city; a city, county and state tax were placed on them. Now only a fee of $1 for males and 92 for females is paid to g the county,- and the fees go 0 into a fund which is used to reparate the owners of sheep $ killed by dogs. ' ' S Tho penalty of $2 for all 11- enses is expected to go Into S effect tomorrow morning. . $ It seemed likely that the Japanese battlefront would be extended to In clude" the surface and the depths of the Whangpoo which! yesterday was declared international .water, follow ing a request of the powers that the flagship Idzumo be rcinoved " from there. ' , ' ' S V "Time" BluMs Used The mines were "time" blasts, ac cording to naval officials aboard the Idzumo. Thoy wore -not close enough to do damage, officials said,, although they caused great excitement aboard both warships. Officials said the ships would not change their ioca-' tlon. j . - Tho shocks caused great consterna-'' tlon among the population of the business district of Shanghai, where the buildings were filled with 'pffice workers, 'the streets crowded and clubs filled with' foreign". business people during .the lunch hour. ' '. ' ' Everybody thought an earthquake had struck Shanghai something which occurs about once every ten years. .. Tho mines apparently wero laid deep in the river, although- directly In the center of the stream, through which shipping from all parts of the world. Including passenger lines from everywhere, passes on going and . coming from Shanghai's harbor. . .. They were so powerful that when they exploded they threw a stream of water 50 yards Into the air!' No ships happened to be passing at the moment. The first blast : occurred within 20 yards of the flagship Idzumo which has been the target of Chinese artillery on numerous occa sions. . - -Near American Flagship Tho thunderous blast rocked the ship. A few minutes later a similar blast burst up within 60 yards1 of the cruiser Oi, 500 yards further down the river. The cruiser was rocked and a great column of water was thrown into the air. This sec ond blast shot up only a short dis tance from the bow of the American flagship Houston which is anchored in the middle of the river a sh'qrt distance below the Japanese consu late. i The British flagship, the cruiser Kent, also lay on the opposite shore of the Whohgpoo across from the Japanese cruiser Ol, while the Italian flagship Libia was anchored a short distance below the Kent. ' None of these foreign vessels' were damaged although thoy all were within a short distance of the mine explosion'" STQRJESSERVICE IN THE MEMORY The importance of the funeral lies chiefly in the memory picture that remains with those left behind. Through the long years they will re call this hour as the final parting with a loved one. For that reason, we do all that we can to make this sacred rite impressive and sublime.
