FIGHTING GOES ON
 IN CHINESE STRIFE
Endorsements Come Into
 ACtion-.Red Cross Aiding
By The Associated Press.


 Shanghai. Sept. 1s.-Darkness failed to stop the fighting on the eastern battlefront In the vicinity of Shanghai tonight. The offensive of the Kiangsu armies seeking to cap ture the city continued.
 Endorsements from the Peking government, to be thrown into bat tie against the Chekiang forces de- lending Shanghai, were reported at Wusih, S6 miles west of here, at 11:4b p. m. last Sunday, according to messenger from the Kiangsu front who returned here today.
 The troops, 5000 in number. were well armed and equipped and were moving toward the Shanghai front in two special trains on the shan ghai-Nanking railway, the messen> ger said.
 Wounded Kiangsu troops return ing from the Liuho front, where a fierce battle was in progress today for possession of territory adjacent to Woosung, outer anchorage of Shanghai. told Dr. F. A. Wilmont, attached to the Kiangsu army meSi- cal corps at Quinsan, that i've have been fighting deep in water through torrential downpours. The Che- kiang troops are most stubborn op- ponents and have been emplonying grenades and land mines with de- structive effect"
 The Kiangsu wounded were moved from the Liuho sector to Quinsaw in special train, an observr said. The American Red Cross corps from Ranking headed by Dr. Price and Dr. Stewart, is assisting in the care of the wounded behind the Kiangsu lines.

SPANISH WAR VET
 ADDRESSES LEGION
Retiring Commander Aleorn
 Compares Vars Horrors

St. Paul, Sept. 16.-- Veterans of the Spanish American and World wars heard the fortunes of battle, deeds of valor and the hardship and suffering of campaigns compared over more than two decades when Albert D. Alcorn. retiring command er-in-chief of the United Spanish War Veterans today addressed the convention of the American Legion.
 When you boys went to the World War, you remember that you were heroes in the eyes of those you were leaving behird," said Mir. AL corn. If you were fortunate to be among the first to return from for eign fields, you were still heroes, but if among the last, you saw very few celebrations in your honor. You were brought into the country, mus tered out. and sent to your respec- tive homes with barely mention of your service. The novelty of receiv- ing returning troops had worn off. The people soon forget. Many of you were lucky indeed to find your old jobs awaiting you.
 'The same thing applied to the Spanish American war period, They call it a little war, but they forget the days of 1898. when the people of the eastern coast and the gulf coast were terrified and unnerved with far of bonbardment by the Spanish fleet that had disappeared from the Azores and which was thought to be somewhere in the vicinity of our shore prepared to strike our most vulnerable spot.
 They forget that the bankers of the coast cities were so frightened and panic stricken that they were shipping their money to interior points for society.
 They forget that there were many anxious moments in homes from which 312,000 volunteers came at that time. HtEt
 The forget that the terrible rav- ages of fever in camps in our own country caused a greater percentage of fatalities than in any other war period.
 They forget that when we came home they were proud of us because the war was short; that we never lost battle, never lost a flag and never retreated from a single foot of ground.
 They forget that the display of fighting qualities of the men of that period first opened the eyes of the world that this nation was amply able to back, with force, if neces- sary, its ideas of freedom and jus tice and humanity
 We can see no reason therefore for discrimination against US in favor of the veterans of any other war in which this nation has been engaged. The same debt of the grati-
