In the house, tho members first must

two-thirds to approve the measure.

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

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.

It seemed likely that the Japanese
battlefront would be extended to In

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'"
