CHINESE CHECK INVADING ARMY (Continued From Page 1) ers off Woosung, endeavoring to discharge troops, tanks and heavy artillery. American naval officers esti mated this would bring Japan's forces in the Shanghai Woosung Liuho sector to more than 75,000 men, opposed to a Chinese strength of some 200,000. Reinforcements For days Japan has been landing reinforcements for the big push to sweep the Chinese out of the rich Shanghai commercial area; but in mid afternoon they were making no headway against the desperate Chinese resistance. The Japanese were attempting a sweeping enveloping movement to the west aimed at cutting off the Chinese and bottling them up in the peninsula formed by the Whangpoo and Yangtze rivers. The Chinese strategy was to fall back slowly, enticing the Japanese inland where they would be without the protection of the heavy guns of their warships.

Additional units, including cavalry, were landed by the Japanese at the wayside wharf in the eastern international settlement. A Japanese army spokesman admitted that the Japanese army was encountering unexpectedly heavy resistance and confessed that the reported Japanese occupation of the walled city of Pao shan yesterday was incorrect. The Japanese vanguard had only reached the outskirts of the city, just northwest of the Woosung forts, the spokesman said, in the face of bitter Chinese resist ance. Earlier reports of the Japanese capture of the Woosung Creek and Lion Forest forts sectors, he added, were also false and were "due to a misunderstanding." Big Guns Used The Japanese, he said, were attacking in that area fifteen miles northwest of Shanghai's international settlement. Heavy artillery duels roared throughout the night; under the brilliant curtain of fire the opposed forces surged back and forth locked in hand to hand combat.

The Japanese superiority in artillery and warplanes gave Japan's forces a tremendous advantage but the vastly greater Chinese numerical strength more than compensated for the Japanese mechanized equipment. The Japanese spokesman, while admitting that the strategic areas of Paoshan and Lion Forest forts were still in the hands of the Chinese, insisted that the all important junction of the two Japanese columns operating in the eastern and western sectors of the front had been effected. This the Chinese denied. Losses Heavy Dawn found Woosune village. where the Whangpoo river meets the Yangtze, a scene of desolation similar to that of the Sino Japa nese war of 1932 when the Japanese used it as a base from which to strike the Chinese rear and eventually drive them out of their positions in Shanghai proper.

The famous German supported Tungchi University, which was completely wrecked in 1932 and then rebuilt, stood out in the dawn light like a great broken monument to the fury of war. So heavy was the shell fire that even me irerman bunt bomb proof dugouts at the university had to be evacuated. Oeneral Wang Ching Chui, commander of the 87th Chinese Division which has been assigned the Woosung Tachang sector, admitted the Japanese forces had captured Changhuapeng and Wentsaopang stations on the Shanghai to Woosung Raliway. These two villages lie between the Chinese positions at Kiang wan and Woosung and their capture, General Wang said, was of little importance. He emphasized that his troops had prevented the junction of the Japanese forces in the Lotien and Woosung sectors.

The great concentration of Chinese troops in the Paoshan district, he said, formed an effective wedge between the Japanese positions. 1 SUBMARINE ATTACKS MAY PROVOKE WAR (Continued From Page 1) said the six injured seamen had been hospitalized. His message did not state whether the Woodford had been sunk. Trail Is Sought An official report on this latest example of the many weeks old guerilla warfare on the Mediterranean had not reached Whitehall when the cabinet met today to weigh the problem but in formed persons said it would ag gravate an already serious situa. tion.

His Majesty's government had already placed destroyers on the trail of the unidentified submarine that tried to sink the Havock. The searchers had official permission to sink the Mediterranean ma rauder. The Earl of Perth, British ambassador to Rome, held a' surprise interview with Foreign Secretary vntnony Men before the ministers met. The Earl is an expert on Mediterranean problems and thus it was felt his talk concerned what government quarters have termed "barbarous attacks" on shipping. Outlook Dark It was believed their conversation was not in furtherance of Anglo Italian friendship negotiations which have been proceeding lately.

The outlook for an Anglo Italian rapprochement was considered gloomy in view of widespread opinion, particularly in the press, mat xne mysterious sub marine that attacked the Havock was an Italian craft.

Several motorist have made the mistake, he said, of placing nickels in the meter to the rear of the car.

"Police have exercised leniency in such cases, Captain McHugh said, until motorists have had ample opportunity to become educated to the system. So far there is no indication that council will take any action on parking meters "until after election" (The phrase frequently used these days).

"How many times," Miss Love inquires, have you seen some favorite actress, per haps your favorite either on the street or in a restaurant, DONNELLY and thought, 'Why, she isn't much to look at after If you're a woman who gets around you've probably said it often.

Perhaps too often for the actress' comfort. "Well, it is our job our duty to our public as the saying goes. I got a lesson not long ago from Pinkie. Who is Pinkie? About a year ago I went to spend a weekend with a friend, the mother of a little boy. I'd heard a lot about him but I'd never met him." When I arrived it was late afternoon and I was so tired that I dozed off on the porch swing.

After awhile 1 became conscious of somebody watching me. "And who are you?" I asked the boy. "I'm Pinkie, he answered. "And you're Lovey (my nickname), aren't you?" But before could talk to him he had run away. I could hear Pinkie calling, 'what did you say Lovey 'An I heard her say.

'An said Pinkie. 'Why, she looks more like a "Pinkie's point of view that an actress should appear a special person and not look like a relative made a great impression on me. I made up my mind then and there that I would never be careless about my looks again for even the tiniest of audiences! Pinkie, I consider, did me an awfully good turn."
