International Zone Hit.

Five shells fell in the International
Settlement, landing in the area pa
trolled by the United States Marines,
narrowly missing the Marines billets
and greatly endangering their position
Three Chinese were fatally WOUNDED
and others less seriously hurt by these
shells. The shells were believed to nave
come from a Chinese battery in Chapel
The battle began at $50 am, hour
timatum expired With the zero hour,
japanese airplanes swooped over the
well-covered chinese "Hindenburg' line,
releasing tons of high explosive bombs
on the chinese defenses. They were fol-
lowed by a tremendous burst Of heavy
artillery fire and screeching shells
churned the Chinese positions, covering
them with clouds of smoke and dust.
japanese naval authorities said both
sides had suffered heavy casualties at
Kiangwan, but that no figures were
available.
Woosung Village was set afire by the
bombardment Of japanese destroyerS.
A cloud of dense smoke poured forth
from the town and several fires also
could be seen in the Kiangwan dis
trict and the areas to the south OF 1t,
nearly as far as Chapel.
Late in the afternoon Japans aerial
bombers increased the intensity OF their
attack upon the area west of Kiangwan.
Reports said they were using the most
powerful bombs in desperate effort
to blast the Chinese from the compli-
Gated network Of trenches extending in
zigzag fashion to the north and to the
south of that point. The two divisions
of Gen. Chang Kai-Shek's army were
understood, however, to be putting up
the stoutest resistance.
The rear of the japanese lines was
q beehive of activity. Heavily loaded
trucks rushed small arms and ammu-
nition to the front. while the Japanese
guns near Hongkew Park thundereo
salvoes into Kiangwan and Chapel.
The first batch Of wounded TO De
brought back from the front were Is
Chinese who we're taken into hospitals
within the International Settlement.
They came from the section Of the
Kiangwan, north OF Chapel. United
States Marines on guard at the settle
ment border, let them through the line.
BY noon, the Japanese casualties be-
gan arriving at the base hospitals in
the Hongkew area. Twenty wounded
were unloaded from two trucks.
Huge clouds of smoke engulfed the
Kiankwan area. Many Of the fires

SHANGHAI, China, February 20.
Lieut.. Gen. Kenkichi Uyeda's
snappy war machine bloodily
pounded its way inch by inch
through stubbornly resisting Chi
nese lines at Kiangwan today in
the most terrific battle the world
has seen since the Great War on
the opening day of a renewed
onslaught upon Shanghai.
The earth literally shook and
shivered with the terrible fury of
the Japanese attack. Dozens OF
roaring airplanes rained showers
of the most powerful bombs upon
the we'll covered Chinese trench
es. Heavy artillery and big guns
from the warships in the river
laid down a red tempest of death
and fire along a 16-mile front
from Chapel to Woosung.
Steel-helmeted rows of Japa-
nese shock troops, with sharp and
glistening bayonets, followed the
powerful artillery barrage, aided
by q fleet of tanks which nosed
their way stubbornly across the
marshy battle-ground.
Chiang's Troops in Fight.
It was only a short time until the
ambulances began pushing to the hos
pitfalls carrying wounded Of both sides.
In the Kiangwan sector, where the
japanese tried desperately to puncture
the zig-Zag Chinese line, defendeo py
two divisions of the crack troops OF Gen.
Chang Kai-Shek, former Chinese PreSl-
dent, the fighting was most severe. Tne
japanese threw their heaviest attack
against this center, hoping to split the
Chinese line and envelop both OF lts
ends at Chapel and Woosung
japanese naval officials announced
shortly after noon that the japanese
had taken Kiangwan, but the Chinese
Immediately denied it, declaring they
had pushed the japanese back and
overcome a fleet of their tanks with
a hand grenade barrage putting one oi
the tanks out of commission.
Later in the day it appeared to OBJ
servers that the japanese were making
a slow advance, with every inch of 1t
disputed by a stubborn Chinese resist
ance. The japanese said Chinese artll-
lery shells struck one of their destroyers
in the river, wounding captain and
five men

RAILROAD TAXATION
DECLARED TOO HIGH
New York Central Head Says Car.

Revenues to Government.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 1-More
than half of New York Centrals net
operating income in the first eight
months Of this year had to be used in
payment of taxes, said Frederic E.
Williamson. president of the system.
The crushing load" of taxes which
the railroads are carrying. he said,
have now reached the danger point
Our taxes" he added. have reached
a point where they are sitting the pur-
chasing power of the railroads, which
normally are the country's largest sin
gle purchaser. AS a result. many OF
the largest industries in the country
that normally employ many thousands,
are suffering severely because OF the IN
ability Of the roalroads to purchase
needed supplies even on a scale COM
mensurate with our reduced traffic. We
are glad to pay reasonable taxes on
fair assessments, but We want to see
reduction in taxes that is achieved by
lowering the needlessly high costs OF
government.
THE railroads are particularly inter
ested in this matter for the reason that
with them taxation is likely to play an
important role in their future
