They estimated Cblness dead there at
130 and wounded at 70.
Relschauer waa In the lobby of
the Palace hotel when a bomb frag
ment tore off hi leg. He died later
In a hospital.
The known American Injured were
r. Rouse. Saco. Montana, and
J. M. Kerbey. employe of a firm of
accountants. Both were expected to
recover.
At least 16 Chinese planes ranged
over 8hanghal and the Whanlipoo
river, striking at Japanese warships
and land concentrations, but appar
ently doing their greatest destruc
tion In the foreign-controlled sec
tions. Japanese aircraft went up to fight
them, but with Utile effect.
There were reports to Indicate the
Chinese airmen had bombed Japanese
centers and vessels with savage effect.
Jspanese Indicated they would take
wlft and terrible revenge, possibly
bombing Nsnklng, China's capital.
The war In the air was only one
phase but deadly phase of the bat
tle of Shanghai between China and
Japan. The conflict, In the second
day of actual bloodshed, was fought
from the air, on water and on land
along a front from Shanghai to the
mighty Yangtze river, 10 miles north.
Mostly It raged along the Whang-
poo river, Shanghai's harbor ana
winding highway to the tea, crowded
with the shipping of many nations
and the 31 naval vessels that Japan
It known to have concentrated here.

Toll Unknown.
Warplanes of both China and Ja
pan were over Shanghai most of the
day In spite of heavy, lowlmnglng
clouds and frequent rain. What tolls
of death and destruction they
claimed In distant Japanese and Chi
nese parts could not even be esti
mated today.
In the International area the fatal
bombs fell late on Saturday afternoon
when Shanghai streets are always
teeming.
Thus far, only Japanese naval
forces have been engacd with 80,000
Chinese, rogulars and irregulars.
There were some 7,000 specially
trained Japanese sailors or marines
ashora before Saturday, and aa the
battle grew in Intensity hundreds
more were hurried on land from the
warships In the river.
There were ominous reports that
the Mlkado'a army was rushing rein
forcements to punish the Chinese at
Shanghai, as It did In IB32, when
the navy failed to break stubborn
Chinese resistance, but there was no
confirmation.
Protection for Americans was In
oressed late Saturday when the 10,-000-ton
cruiser Augusta, flagship of
the united States' Asiatic fleet, ar
rived after a forced-draught run
