Shanghai to reinforce crews of doc tors and nurses already on the scene from the Sun pitting Chinese hospital. Chinese Aim Poor Poor Chinese marksmanship a Rain defeated a combined aerial and artil lery attack on Japanese men-of-war in the Whangpoor river off the Shanghai International settlement. Three daring Chinese planes swoop ed down low over Japanese warships under opver of a moonless night and dropped bombs. Chinese artillery opened simultaneous fire on the Japanese lines In Honglcew. But the airmen's aim was bad. The air bombs only churned the river waters while Japanese anti-aircraft guns sprayed the skies with shrapnel. Chinese denied a Japanese report that one plane was shot down over Pootung. The French concession waa terror ized when one of the Chinese bomb ers roared over It at no more than 600 feet, its exhaust streaking a trail of fire In the night sky. Peril Grows Both the Chinese and Japanese meanwhile took action that Increased the peril to foreigners remaining In China and virtually blasted the last hope for an Amerlcan-Brltlsh-French neutrality proposal. The Japanese, answering the three- power note, demanded that Chinese troops be withdrawn from a much wider area in the Shanghai environs even than had been suggested to assure the safety of foreign residents and interests In the International areas. The Japanese response waa made by Vice Admiral Klyoshl Haaegawa, commander-in-chief of the Japanese third fleet In Chinese waters. It followed a Chinese refusal to evacuate positions In Pootung, across the river from the International zone, unleas foreign naval concentrations guaranteed that Japanese troops would be restrained from landing there. Shipping Warned The Shanghai office of the Chinese foreign ministry also warned all for eign officials here of the danger to their shipping from Chinese air at tacks. The ministry declared that Chinese warp lanes and other coastal defenses would launch reprisals against Japa nese warships to counteract the Jap anese blockade of China's south and central coast. It requested foreign navies and merchant marines to identify their vessels clearly and give Japanese ships a wide berth. Six Chinese civilian sailors were killed and three Injured when Japa nese bombing planes dropped explo sives on foreign-owned yachts an chored at Minkchong up the Whang poor. Two of the pleasure craft were sunk. All had been tied up at Ming chong because the upstream anchor age waa believed safe from attack. Fear Island Seizure British observers at Hongkong, British crown colony on the south China coast, reported growing fear there that the next phase of the Japanese campaign In south China might be seizure of Hainan Island the largest under Chinese sover eignty. Three Japanese men-of-war were reported to have visited the Island yesterday to make surveys. (Hainan Island, down the coast from Hongkong, is directly south of Lulchow peninsula. Across the gulf of Ton g king to the west Is the coast of French Indo-Chlna.) Heavy casualties were Inflicted on the Japanese In the north by Chinese machine gun fire west of Pelplng. Strong Chinese mountain positions, using trench mortars and mountain artillery, endangered the over extended Japanese flank and at least temporarily prevented a Japanese advance south from the former Chi nese capital. The strategic city of Faoshan, 13 miles north of Shanghai, waa wrested from Its Chinese defenders for a third time today after "monkey-like Japa nese engineers had blasted a way through Its 40-foot high walls with bombs strapped to their backs. Monkey Tartlcs A Japanese officer who witnessed REV. JAMES MATTHEW ALLEY NOTED EVANOELIST WILL BEGIN A ' SERIES OF EVANGELISTIC SERVICES AT THE REESE CREEK CHURCH Thura. Sept. 9 8:00 P.M. Rev. Alley ii well-known in Southern Oregon. ALL ARE WELCOME the attack against the key city on the northern Shanghai front said the eight engineers resembled nothing so much as monkeys aa they scrampered up the city's wall under a rain of rifle fire and hand grenades. Ladders were placed stealthily for them to climb and the eight, risking almost sure death with 48 bombs strapped on their backs, mined the malls under the protection of heavy Japanese machine gun fire. The walls burst asunder with a terrific detonation and the eight, miraculously unhurt save for minor wounds, returned to their regiments and then helped fight their way into the city alongside their comrades who hailed them heroes. Their officers said the engineers' daring had made the capture possible and saved the day for the Japanese. The Japanese line wavered but held today under the trip-hammer blows of a renewed Chinese drive against sll points of the narrow Japanese beach held along the Yangtze and Whangpoo rivers. Eleanor Powell In Crateriari Pic ture Opening Run Today Eleanor Powell, whose dancing has made her one of the top flight stars of motion pictures, co-starred with Robert Taylor, la at the Craterlan theater today la her latest film mu sical, "Broadway Melody of 1938," newest of the annual dance-sing-romances that have become an ex pected film treat every season. The picture will play four days. Also In the large cast of the dazzl ing successor of past "Broadway Melodies," are George Murphy, whose dancing in "Top of the Town" start ed him on the road to stardom: Bin nle Barnes, the blonde charmer of many outstanding film plays: Sophie Tucker, "last of the red-hot mamas." whose famous number "Some of These Days" is heard again In this picture; Judy Garland, sensational youngster a star In her own right; Buddy Bbsen. often called the "Hol lywood Hlll-Bllly": Charles Igor Go- rln, baritone favorite of radios "Hol lywood Hotel"; Raymond Walburn. long a favorite with showgoers; Rob ert Benchley, famous wit and come dian; Charley Grapewln, beloved character player; Willie Howard of the New York stage, and Robert Wild hack, whose "snoring" was one of the highlights of last year's "Mel ody." He now shows the many, va rious methods of sneezing, with all reports crediting him with another side-splitting performance. With the added song numbers es pecially written for this picture, the spectacular dancing numbers and a fast-moving story, "Broadway Melody of 1938" Is said to be a fitting suc cessor to the past hit Bhows. DEMURRER FILED E Jackson county yesterday filed a demurrer to the suit of Earl A. Sims. Otto Heckert, and R. Q. phalr, plnball machine distributors, against Sheriff Syd I. Brown and District Attorney Prank J. Newman who contend the court has no Jurisdiction, that the Oregon statutes of 1935 are not ap plicable, and the grounds of the ac tion are Insufficient. The action grew out of the order of the sheriff and district attorney barring plnball machines from opera ting in this county after midnight August 35. Since that time, all pln ball machines in the county have been padlocked and Inoperative. Some have been removed, but for the most part remain in their old positions. 81ms, charged with setting up and operating a lottery (plnball) waived preliminary hearing, and the case was remanded to await grand Jury ac tion.
