JAP BOMBS LAND
ON REFUGEE TRAIN
(Continued rrom rage One.)
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troops be withdrawn from a much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.

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.

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

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
