It was issued , on the same day on which China ; appealed to the league of nations. | the day after Mme.

The statement coincided with a general Japanese attack which paled any activity of the month’s battle for Shanghai. The Chinese forces took terrific punishment and the destruction of property l . was staggering. Airplane bombs, artillery and ’ naval gun shells, set scores of villages. thousands of homes afire. l Fires flamed for 10 miles along the northern edge of the city from !

The Chinese withdrawal was ordered last night when, the fight i for Shanghai a stalemate, the | army's German advisers demanded f flatly that Chinese generals withdraw to the third defense- area i mapped out at the start of the I battle. In making their demand, the German officers had to overcome stubborn resistance. The Chinese , argued that they had held the Japanese back. The Germans re- ' torted that the stand had been made at a cost of lived that was prohibitive. It was estimated that the Chinese had last 20,000 killed and 30,000 wounded in four weeks: the Japanese 10,000 killed and -an unestimated number wounded. Confronted with this demand, the Chinese general staff issued orders for the retreat. They had been reluctant to do so, first because they did not want foreign nations—or the Japanese—to think they had weakened Secondly, they feared the bad effect on the morale of their -men.

Addressing 15,000 armed men at I the end of the Nazi party rally, Hitler said: “Much has changed since four years ago, when you were first represented here at the rally — changed not for worse but for better. “Germany has become more beautiful and especially strong toj day. You are not only fine soldiers but men of whom the nation is proud. Through this development of the German army* it has not only been possible to secure j our internal defense but also to | complete our great work of buildI ing up Germany in peace. "In a time of general insecurity, It has been possible for us to guard peace. If Germany today is strong, it is above all because of her soldiers. Germany is proud of you and sees In you the bearer of our unforgettable past." As the Nazi annual rally reached its climax yesterday, Hitler, usually unapproachable to newspapers. called a group of foreign l correspondents and In a 20 minute I "informal conversation" — it was emphasized that he was not giv-, ing a formal interview — spoke I frankly of Germany's problems as regards foreign nations Hitler smiled and threw out his, hands in a gesture of futility I when he was asked to give his j r view of the foreign situation gen-I ■ erally.

It requires submat inns to conform to the atrictest interpretations of in ternational law in any attacks I That means, they must, in attacking any ship, come to the sur- 1 face, fly their national flag, warn of their attack, and give passengers and crews time to take to boats. But the commanders of the 60 British and French destroyers will be ijpady to go to the scene of any submarine activity. They are expected to have freedom of judgment to meet any emergency—and it was hinted strongly that their judgment will be to fire first and ask questions later in event that merchant ships of nations participating in the agreement are attacked.
