line. At any sign of retreat the
machine gunners were told to fire
at their own countrymen.
Today's battle carried destruction
well away from the closcr-ln scenes
of two weeks of Shanghai war.
Desolation
Hongkew and Yangtze poo districts
of the city were burnt-out craters of
desolation. New and apparently more
terrific eruptions spouted on a north
west line through Klatlng and Nan
slang to Ltuho, on . the mighty
Yangtze.
Along this line, Japanese warplanes
started a powerful bombardments of
Chinese positions. Newly-arrived Jap

against the weary Chinese armies.

anese were killed or wounded at
liOtlsn, but Japanese army spokesmen
denied the claim. Chinese told of
a retreat by Japanese from Lotlea
to Lion forest. Japanese said the
only time their forces had retreated
during the warfare thus far was when
fires raged in the Yangtxepoo sector.
200 Civilians Killed
Japanese also denied a Chinese
charge that Japaness machine guns
poured death Into civilian crowds
along the Wayside district of the
river front.- But today, the Shanghai
municipal council had removed two
hundred bodies of Chinese civilians
In that area.
From a Japanese- army spokesman
came a warning that American flags
would not protect the American
mortgaged Ting On company cotton
mill In Woosung, where the Whang
poo Joins the Yangtze. The Japanese
army, he said, would be forced to
"take action" there because of the
"presence of Chinese firing trench
mortars."
The Shanghai municipal police also
were told by Japanese that they
could not remove any more bodies
from Japanese - occupied Hongkew,
Yangtzepoo and Wayside districts.
Withdrawal of belligerents " from
fringes of the International settle
ment eased tension among Shanghai's
foreign residents. For the first time
since hostilities started, crews of
neutral warships were granted shore
leave.
Drop Fire Bombs
Late today Japanese planes dropped
Incendiary bombs on parts of the
Pootung area across the Whang poo
from Shanghai. Scores of Chinese
houses caught fire. For a time the
Socony company oil tanks were en
dangered, but Shanghai municipal
fire boa t extinguished the flames.
While Japanese troops launched a
supreme attempt to drive the Chinese
army from the outer Shanghai de
fense lives, 120,000 of Nippon's fight
ing men hammered at 225,000 Chinese
on fronts along strategic railroads In
north China.
A Chinese flanking movement
southwest of Pelplng presented a
threat to the 150-mile Japanese front
and delayed the start of a major
Japanese offensive.
Doctors attending Sir Hughe Mont
gomery Una tch bull -Hugessen said In
ni Id afternoon that the envoy was
continuing a gradually slow Improve
ment. His back was broken and his
right side pierced by Japanese ma
chine gun bullets when two Japanese
planes swooped low, strafing and
bombing his car.
