Destruction of City
- Japan's armada of warships,
strung out in the Whangpoo river
and the TangUe estuary for BO
miles to the sea, gave Shanghai
the appearance of a beleaguered
city. Whether the nary would
spare the city further destruction
and panic depended on the ad
vance of the Chinese troops pour
ing into battle positions.
Military observers held that the
aerial phase of the fighting had
passed and the major land battle
was about to begin. One foreign
observer m a d e the astounding
estimate . that 800.000 Chinese
troops had been concentrated at
Nanking, up the Yangtze from
Shanghai.:"
They were being rushed to the
battle sone as rapidly as trucks,
railroads and all available forms
of commandeered t r a n sportion
could move. .
Japanese reinforcements were
landing In unknown numbers but
the Japanese were believed to be
v vastly outnumbered and handi
capped by lack of ammunition and
other supplies.
Latest estimates placed the
number of Chinese regular army
troops operating in the Shanghai
area at more than 100,000, with
countless Irregulars swelling their
ranks. Japanese were estimated to
number only slightly over 25,000
If that many.

Stanfield Policy
Draws Opposition
LAKEVIEW, Aug. 15 -)-R.
B. Jackson, member of the re

No. 2. sent a protest to governor
Charles Martin today against ex-
Senator Robert N. Ktanfield's
proposal to lease state school
lands -to, Lake and Harney coun
ties. .. . ' -.
' " Jackson charged the leases
would put local stockmen out of
business and would turn the land
over to transient graters. The
result, he said, would be abuse
of the land.
"Neither Mr. Stanfield nor any
other individual leasing these
large areas tor private use," he
wrote. "They want them for
speculation. When he charges
transients an exorbitant price
this rear, tbe transient will na
turally have to misuse the prop
erty during the life of his short
lease and try to locate himself
elsewhere the next year.
Oregon stockmen always bup
port the state institutions and do
not use the state school land to
the detriment of school children.

Defection Vision
Found Prevalent
' Approximately .0 per cent of
those examined! for automobile
operators' licenses do not have
normal vision, Secretary of State
Earl Snell announced Wednes
day. - Far sigh tedness, double vision
and color blindedness are com
mon ailments found; in appli
cants, examiners reported. A
surprising number were found
afflicted with these and other
defects who are not aware that
their eyes are far from normal.
Examiners mentioned the case
of one man who, professing to
have perfect vision, was unable
to distinguish any of the letters
on the test chart.
Increased traffic hazard from
poor vision is greater than is
generally believed, officials
'pointed out, considering the de
mand upon the motorist to read
road signs, keep a careful watch
ahead in all weather conditions
and watch for alternating red
and green traffic signals.
