the first time in the history
of Burma permission had been
granted to let a white elephant
out of the country. What

opponents of orthod oxy de-
manded. How far will this
invasion of our religious rights
go?"
Still others were said to
have voiced this sentiment:
Let the English use their in
fluence and get permission to
remove Pa Wa from Burma.
What good will it do them?
Surely there is not an elephant
driver in the land or a mahout

At first it was difficult to
find natives who were willing
to accompany the expedition

the tune of clinking gold, gained
their end. And not long after
the London Geological Society
launched its campaign of per-
suasion, Pa Wa was on the
way to England in sumptuous
quarters aboard a first-claSs

OF attendants that included a
mahout named Said Ali, an
elephant driver named Sandy

they believed, would administer
only a "salutary Christening" Now
however, they were almost unan-

went too far.
At 10 p. m. there was still rea-

Shanghai, Jan 29-UP)-An
a:mistice was declared in battle

most Immediately violated when q
Japanese plane bombed an Ameri-
can missionary institution, the
Young FALLEN memorial home.
The lull in the fighting which
has been going on for % hours in
Chapel, the native quarter, brought
nc relief from their terror to the
helpless men, women and children
of the burning city.
The night was illumined by the
flaming houses of the close-packed
district. Japanese planes from the
fleet of 35 Japanese warships in
tho harbor had dropped scores of
bombs on the defenseless city, kill
ing and injuring an undetermined
number Of Chinese. 1t was impos-
sible to estimate accurately the
casualties from the bombings and
the fierce fighting between Chinese
and Japanese troops.
Because Of the dense population
or the district, however. 1t was
feared the deaths would run into
hundreds. The Japanese announced
casualties among their own troops
at Is dead, 60 wounded and 95
slightly hurt.
The American missionary home
which was bombed was within the
border Of the International, which
the powers have insisted must not
be violated. Earlier in the day, an
other bomb had fallen in Young
Allen court, alongside the home
and the church. The first bomb did
slight damage.

Japanese Bombs
Fell Rapidly

Marines and British soldiers stood
guard behind sandbag emplace-
ments and barbed wire.
Three Japanese seaplanes, oper-
ating in relays, constantly bombed
the native Chapel area, north Of
the international settlement. Tho
district was practically all In
flames. The native buildings,
squalid and close together on the
narrow, winding streets, burned
quickly.
The bombs from airplanes alone
falling on the native city regard
less of whether they struck homes,
hospitals. factories or buildings
held by troops, spread death to ci-
villains as we'll as soldiers. Many
casualties among the Chinese
were feared to be women and chill
dren.
The air raids spread terror
through the packed slum districts
of Chapel, and it's factories. Dis
tracted refugees sought to gain
entrance into the safety of the in
ternational settlement. Distressing
sights were witnessed as women
with infants in arms and old men,
with bundles of their worldly goods
piled high on their backs, shuffled
along.
The Chinese shot down a Japa-
nese airplane and captured three
japanese in the arrmored car
corps, according to an announce
ment by Eugene Chen, resigned
foreign minister acting as official
spokesman for the Chinese forces.
Chen, making headquarters IN
