JAPANESE SUFFER HEAVY LOSSES IN CHANGSHA DEFEAT First Major Offensive in Year Suffers Setback Invaders Lost 10,300 Dead Is Claim of Chinese HONGKONG, Oct. fi. (AP) Tha Japanese army's first major offensive In nearly a year appearea toaay to have resulted In a definite Japanese setback with heavy losses. Chinese reports declared, without Japanese denials, that the columns which had been driving on unangsna, capital of Hunan province, had been thrown back and were withdrawing across the Ml river, 40 miles north of the city. A few days ago the Japanese re ported their advanced units In sub urbs of Changaha, port on the Slang river about 180 miles southwest of Kankow, First Since Hankow The drive was the first big Jap anese land operation In China since the occupation of Hankow October 95, X93S. Estimates of the total forces engaged on both sides ran as high as 600,000. A Japanese military spokesman in Shanghai said It was possible no at tempt would be made to capture Changsha since It had "no military Significance." The main Japanese column had been driving toward the city down the Kankow-Canton trunk railway. It was the second Japanese threat to Changsha which failed to mater lallne. A year ago when Japanese forces neared the city much of It was burned by the Chinese carrying out their "scorched earth" policy of preventing worthwhile equipment or buildings from falling to the in vaders. Ml River Boundary Chinese officials expressed belief the Ml river would form a temporary boundary between Chinese and Ja panese farces. Chinese military authorities In Chungking attributed failure of the Japanese offensive against Changsha to the Inability of an eastern column to dislodge Chinese forces blocking highways in northwest Klangsl. A Chinese spokesman asserted the Hunan offensive had coat the Ja panese 10,300 dead, three of them Japanese newspapermen.

Positive evidence of human habitation and bones of extinct animals that roamed during the Pleistocene age 13,000 to 15,000 or more years ago, have been found together in a cave in the Summer lake region of south central Oregon, It has been announced here by Dr. Luther 8. Crossman, head of the University of Oregon anthropology department. The discovery U regarded as of utmost Importance scientifically since this Is the first time such a find has been made In this section of the country. The remains were- found during an expedition to the area this sum mer, which Dr. Crossman headed Identification of the bones as those of ancient horse, camel, bison, wolf, mountain sheep, red fox and water fowl waa corroborated by Dr. John C. Morrlam, president emeritus of the Carnegie Institution, and Dr Chester Stock, professor of paleontology at California Institute of Technology, both noted scientists tn this field. The discovery definitely proves that southeastern Oregon, now largely barren and dry, was once a fertile land that yielded a comfortable living for both humans and animals, and It fixed It as one of the cradles of humanity of the western hemisphere. Similar evidences have been found In the southwestern part of the United States but never before In this sec tion. Human evidences found in the cave included a broken obsidian knife, a large obsidian flake and signs of a camp fire. The bones In many in stances had been broken to extract the marrow, and some of them showed evidences of workmanship.
