Ekins (Copyright 1937 by United Press) Shanghai. Aug. 31 —(U.R) —Japan carried the war into South China ; today and began operations de-i signed to close up the last great ; port of entry for Chinese military | supplies—Canton. Big Japanese bombers, probably from an aircraft carrier off Swatow, roared over the ancient South j China metropolis at dawn, and again later in the morning, and rained explosives on the airdrome ' and strategic railway centers ad-1 jacent to the city. Scores of cas-1 ualties were reported. Chinese feared the bombing ! might be preliminary to a military occupation of Canton in line with the determination of the Japanese general staff to smash centers of organized Chinese resistance. Swatow and other South China cities also were reported bombed. The great general offensive against an estimated 400,000 Chinese soldiers in the Shanghai area, promised by the Japanese military spokesman, was getting under way i slowly and the Japanese claimed j they occupied the strategic town i of Woosung, at the mouth of the Whangpoo river, north of Shanghai. at 11 a. m. 1 Chinese artillery and machine guns there have been harassing the Japanese third battle fleet, and foreign shipping trying to get into Shanghai, for more than a fortnight. Foreign military attaches still believed that the Japanese intend to 'occupy China's central capital. Nanking, 160 miles west of here, and that a major battle will be fought along the Chinese defense line 35 miles west of Shanghai within a few days. Chief developments of the past J 24 hours included: 1. The bombing of Canton, i jhweh additionally angered Britons j already bringing pressure on Japan because of the unintentional shooting of the British ambassador to China, Sir Hughe KnatchbullHugessen. by Japanese military fliers. Sir Hughe, however, continued to show marked improvement in country hospital here tonight and his recovery was con- i sidered certain. A Japanese occupation of Canton, it was pointed out. would cripple the great British crown colony of Hongkong, which lives on the handling of Chinese commerce to and from the big Chinese commercial city. 2.
