359 Americans Evacuated

Three hundred and fifty additional - American refugees ran through a hail of fire morning the Whangpoo and were embarked safely on the Dollar steamer Preosident Jefferson, which sailed for Manila at 1:30 p. m, British destrovers acted as transports and ferried British refugees down the Whangpoo to Woosung where thev were loaded on the P & OO. liner Rajputana, which was anchored near the Jefferson. Loading of both ships from fenders and the destroyers was hampered by stormy weather and high seas. Chinese bombing planes,

which the refugees had to pass in the river; made the 12 miles trip from the Bund of Shanghai's International Settlement a nightmare. All the refugees came through safely, however, although they were endangered by flying | shrapnel and shell splinters.

Reinforcements Are Rushed

The great powers continued rush reinforcements and warships here to hasten evacuation of their nationals and give what protection they could to their property. The Dollar liner President Hoover, flagship of the American company's Pacific fleet, was pressed into service and sailed from Manila at 2:40 p. m. for Shanghai with a contin- | gent of Marines. She will pick up hundreds of refugees here and hurry them to Manila. Thus the Chinese-Japanese war which started outside Peiping the night of July 7 had spread into a major conflagration which already has cost both sides thousands of lives and tens of millions of dollars. A tense situation prevailed at Tsingtao, big Shantung province port between Shanghai and Tientsin, where more than 1000 American refugees—summer vacationists and U. S. citizens who had fled from the interior —were endangered.

Massacre Is Feared

It arose from the shooting of two | Japanese blue jackets, allegedly by | a Chinese Nationalist. Chinese expected that Japan shortly would occupy the port. She was evacuating her own Nationals as rapidly | as possible and attempting to re- | strain the Chinese until a railway | train, carrving Japanese refugees | from Nanking, via Tsinan-fu, t Shantung capital, could reach the port safely. Gen. Han Fu-chu, provincial governor. was. reported to have more than 50.000 troops around the port and a major massacre of Japanese; : there appeared possible as Chinese hatred mounted. On the northern front the military stalemate which has prevailed for several days continued. Japan's attack on strong Chinese positions fronting the vital Nankow Pass on the Peiping-Suivuan Railway was resumed, but- made no headway. South of Peiping. on the PeipingHankow Railway. south of

Tientsin. Key Battle at Shanghai All developments were overshadowed by the bitter Shanghai strug- | gle which probably will be the key battle of the war

Both Chinese and Japanese con- | & tinued to bring up reinforcements |

and some estimates of the total number of men engaged, or in reserve depots, reached as high as 200,000 Fighting raged all day today—on land. the water, and in the air. The Japanese appeared to have won the major engagement they started last night in the Pootung sector, opposite Shanghai's International Bund. Fire from the Chi- | nese trenches in this area virtually had ceased at 11:30 p. m. after 13 | hours of continuous pounding by Japanese naval guns and aerial bombs. On the Hongkew-Chapei sector, within sight of Shanghai's big Brit-ish-owned Cathay Hotel, all Japanese attacks were repulsed, as they were in the central and southern parts of , the Shanghai-Woosung Railway sector. At the north end of this line, from Woosung toward

Liuho. the Japanese claimed to have |

made advances, clearing an area in which their land regiments were being brought ashore from transports lying off the mouth of the Yangtse.
