TROOPS LOST IN
FUTILE THRUST
Desperate Attack Upon
Chinese Lines Meets
With Disaster.
SHANGHAI. Oct. 13 (4p)--A
Chinese spokesman declared to
night that Japanese forces had
lost more than 3000 dead and
wounded in a disastrous attempt
to crash the Chinese lines across
Wentsaopang creek Into Tazang,
four miles northwest of the-International
settlement.
The Japanese army used 15.000
men In its desperate thrust. A
Japanese flying column pushed
ahead of the main body three
miles to the outskirts of Tazang
where a murderous machine gun
and hand grenade fire forced the
troops to retire to the original
p'osition.
l'azang is the most strongly de
fended town on the Chinese battle
line. Its capture by the Japanese
might force the Chinese troops to
withdraw from the hotly-contented
Chant sector in order to escape
being flanked and surrounded
from the west.,
Chinese Hold Positions--
Despite withering fire from
land, sea and air the Chinese
clung to their lines on all other
fronts in the Shanghai district.
While Japanese planes resumed
dropping bombs on Chapel a Plc
yards outside the international
settlement boundary, the echo of
their staccato machine-gunning of
three British motor cars late yes

national consternation. -
Although no official statements
had been made it was learned
that the attack might have Bri
