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.

URGE SPRAGUE TO KEEP
AERONAUTICS INSPECTOR
PORTLAND, Oct. B. (P) Oovernor
SJrague was urged yesterday by the
stao aeronautics board to retain the
position of aeronautics inspector un
der the title of state director of aero
nautics. The board also accepted the resig
nation of Allan Greenwood as In
spector, effective October 31.
The governor has considered abol
ishing the position of Inspector.
Word has been received from Cra
ter lake the active search for Alfred
Goets, 08, Ashland WPA saw filer
employed on a park project has been
discontinued, but trails and roads In
the area are being watched. A week's
thorough search failed to uncover
any trace of Goetz who was last
seen September 30, but whose ab
sence was not noted until the fol
lowing Tuesday, when a hunt was
organized.
Edward Leach, a timber cruiser
of the Union Creek district, reported
that the belief prevailed among some
of Goetz' fellow-workers, he might
have caught an auto ride to Cali
fornia and Is unaware of the alarm
he caused. Another theory holds the
missing man may be visiting at
some Isolated cabin, or town.

EUGlE Spl. 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.
