The Whang poo river Is playing a double role In the tragedy of embattled Shanghai. For Chinese and Japanese, the river and 1U adjacent mud flats are a heavily bombarded battlefield, For the occidentals marooned in Shanghai, the sluggish muddy stream la the nearest exit. "The Whangpoo river La usually the most anonymous stream in Chi na," says a bulletin from headquar ters here of the National Geographic society. "Whenever Shanghai Is spo ken of as a seaport, the Whangpoo la being alighted, for. this relatively little-known river actually makes possible the commercial importance of China's largest city. "The Whangpoo can truly be called the author of Shangnal'a sucoess story: from flahlng village to world port In less than a century. Only native Junk of Chinese fishermen sailed the Whangpoo and tied up at the walled village of Shanghai in 1842 when foreign trade was first permitted by treaty to enter. Since then the muddy crock nas borne sail and ateam ships from all tbe seven seas until the traffic has constructed a, modern metropolis on the Whang' poo's mud flats. 13 MIIps From Sea "Shanghai la two steps removed from the ocean. Vessels must travel Into the broad yellow mouth of the Yangtze and turn to the left into Its tributary, the Whangpoo, for 13 miles before reaching 'seaport' Shang hai. "Constantly hanging over the river la the threat of silting up. Two mll llan cubic yarda of mud a year must be dredged to keep the channel open to a low-tide depth of 28 feet. A treacherous mud-bar lurks where the river empties Into the Yangtze and there some sea-going vessels transfer their cargo to lighters rather than cross the bar. 'Fifty years ago Shanghai was pit led as a doomed city about to be cut off from foreign trade entirely by the menacing silt. Warships and ocean liners, however, still ride at anchor In Shanghai's harbor, keeping China's leading city among the world's ten busiest ports. Foreign shipping, with out reckoning matting-winged sam pans and heavy Junks that swarm about tbe harbor, amount annually to over 30 million tons. Hlang Expression Born. "Beside the Whangpoo runs the world-famous Bund, crowded thor oughfare replete with foreign and local color. Clubs, banks, business houses and consulates focus Inter national Interest along the water front. With approximately 60,000 for eigners of 60 different nationalities In Shanghai on business and pleas ure, the Whangpoo bears a great re sponsibility as commercial entrance and safety exit. "Paralleling the rlvei on the route from the Yangtze to the metropolis Is tbe first railroad built in China. But It has not yet even challenged the supremacy of water transporta tion in linking the port with the sea. "Clipper ships moored In the Whangpoo, and restless to recruit a full crew by hook or crook and sail for home, brought a picturesque Idiom Into the English language: to "Shanghai.".

Myera, chief of Denhardt'a counsel, time to return the general'a body to Bowling Green, Ky. The warrants were served on the Clarr brothers In the Shelby count; Jail by Sheriff Forrest Barnes. Wright said the grand Jury would convene October 4. What action the commonwealth will take against the Grits rests with the grand Jury. Major crimes are prosecuted only on Indictments In Kentucky. Attorney General Hubert 8. Mere dith said state policemen were sent to Shelbyvllle last night on request of Myers but that he could not take charge of the case. Tries To Flee Three men stepped from an auto mobile on the main street here last night as Denhardt and Myers started back to a hotel after conferring over final details of the trial scheduled today. "There are tha darr brothers." Myers said he warned Denhardt. The latter ran toward the hotel only to crumple In Its entrance with bullets through his head, and heart. Myers fled In another direction and came back with hands above his head, to beg that be be spared. "You are the who killed my sister and rm going to kill you," Myera said Roy Oarr shouted as the bullets flew. "You are the who defended the who killed my sister." Myers declared Roy shouted at htm. "I put my hands up and pleaded with him," the attorney said. Surrender Quietly "Don't shoot the lawyer," Myers said Dr. Oarr cried. Denhardt died without uttering a word. A crowd gathered and Patrol man Jeptha Tracey came running up. Tracey aald the .three brothera gave up their pistols and surrendered quietly to him and that Roy said, "I did It." At his first trial the Jury disagreed and Denhardt a 925.000 bond was re newed. Be declared Mrs. Taylor com mitted suicide because of tbe threats of a Jealous suitor. The common wealth contended Denhardt killed her last November S because she yielded to her family's objections and had declined to marry him. Declaring his Innocence, the Span ish American, Mexican border and World war veteran predicted aa he left court after the disagreement that "there will be no second trial." The trial waa called at the September term, however, but Denhardt'a wordc came true. WE CONGRATULATE The M. M.
