Japanese Premier Asks Advice

~ As Cabinet Shakeup Is Rumored;

French M

‘Chiang Kai-shek Reported Wounded in Bombing Of Changsha.

TOKYO, April 15 (U. P.)—Reports of an impending Cabinet re- - organization were circulated today "as Japan faced reverses in the Chi“nese war and one of the most + critical times in her modern history. Prince Fumimaro Konoye, Prime ‘ Minister, who has been ill, told sev- - eral Cabinet members, however, that . he would not resign. He intends lo carry on the present policy regard«ing China, he said. Koichi Kido, Education. Minister, is scheduled to go to Osaka Sunday « where he will report to Prince Kinmochi Saionji, elder statesman, on “Prince Konoye’s political plans. Prince Saionji is expected to review the program and then give his ad- . vice. Since Prince Saionji recommended Prince Konoye for the premiership, it is well known that he will remain in office if Prince Saion- - ji desires that he stay.

Chiang Reported Injured

Rumor of a Cabinet split and also the prediction that Prince Konoye would resign were carried by-a small newspaper which is published irreg-_-ulary. Police suppressed the edition ‘on the grounds that it was mali- : cious. ~The Foreign Office asserted today that it had received reliable reports ‘that Gen. Chiang Kai-shek had - been wounded in both legs during the Japanese bombing of Changsha "on April 10. . The Foreign Office spokesman added that the same reports indi.cated that T. V, Soong, Gen. - Chiang’s brother-in-law = and China’s Aviation Minister, had been * wounded in the stomach and right “arm. . It was recalled that on April 11, . Japanese vernacular newspapers re- “ ported that Gen. Chiang had been « killed. The Chinese Government de- . nied that Gen. Chiang and Mr.

. Soong were in Changsha the day-ef

the bombing.

Chinese Fighting - Spirit Praised SHANGHAI, April 15 (U. P).— . A United States military observer " said today that the present “high- * ly sacrificial spirit” of the Chinese « may enable them to win additional «. major victories over the Japanese. He referred to the Chinese . counter-offensive in southern Shan- ‘ tung Province which was so suc- : cessful that it stopped the Japanese « drive to the south and resulted in - Japan's first major defeat in mod-

: ern history. « The Chinese victory at Taierh- ? chwang, the observer continued, was due to the “superior fighting spirit”

Estimates of foreign military attaches here placed the Japanese casualties in the North China area at 250,000 killed and wounded, chiefly in -guerrilla atacks on small Japanese units. ~ Best informed experts said that the Japanese army was faced with the immediate decision of calling for heavy reinforcements from Japan or drastically shortening their lines.

Fleet at Davao Found to Be Warships

MANILA, April 15 (U. P.).—The 21 mysterious vessels which anchored in Davao Harbor, in the southern Philippines, are warships,

clared today in a radio message to authorities here. “It has been established beyond doubt that warships entered Davao waters,” the Collector wired, based on a statement and declaration of the captain of the motorship Rizal and the master of the launch Daisy. No flags were identified.

BURNING ACHING FEET

“Ojl your feet,” ordered Napoleon to kis soldiers before a battle or a long march—he was a clever man. Sore, aching, burning feet probably cause more misery—more distress—more bad temper and cursing than most any other human ailment. Many a time—overnight—you can take out the sting—the soreness—the burning and aching from your poor distressed feet by giving them a good rubbing with penetrating medicated OMEGA OIL. Sleep more soundly and tomorrow morning foot agony will be on its way—thousands know this—you ought to know it— 35 cents. ‘Oil your feet.” .

after the Loyalists evacuated the

seaport at Vinaroz.: Through wilting Loyalist resistance the Rebels were driving to the sea on a ten-mile front. The column to the north of Vinaroz occupied La Cenia and then advanced to

San Rafael Del Rio, four miles from |

the main highway. / A central column took San Jorge, some six miles from Vinaroz, and fhe southern wing of the offensive moved up to. Calig, four miles from the seaport of Benicarlo. Rebel artillery poured down shells on the Vinaroz-Barcelona Road. Gen. Miguel Aranda, commanding the Rebel Army in the sector, invited newspaper correspondents accompanying him to lunch this afternoon in Vinaroz, famous. for centuries for its sea food. A dispatch from Barcelona : disclosed that the grand headquarters of the International Brigade had been - transferred from Albacete, southwest of Valencia, to ‘“somewhere in Catalonia.” This, with a laconic dispatch that Army headquarters® in\ “southern areas” were being evacuated, was taken to mean that the Loyalists intended to concentrate their defenses in the Catalonian and Madrid areas.

. Loyalist Lines Shattered

The Rebels had at their mercy the coastal road which connects Barce-

Jona with Valencia.

The Loyalist: defense, ‘all dispatches “indicated, was shattered. Barcelona admitted that Rebel airplanes dropped leaflets over coastal towns announcing to civilians that Easter Sunday mass would be celebrated on the seacoast.
