Railroad ties and rails and
huge geysers Of mud and earth
were shot high into the air. The
bombardment ceased just before
7:30 a. m. and the infantry
moved forward again to attack.
AS the guns ceased firing,
three or four ocean freighters
turned the point Of the Yangtze
into the Whangpoo and moved
upstream.
There is an increased move
ment of motor trucks and ar
mored cars in both directions
from Shanghai toward Woosung,

I chartered a motorboat and
came down the Whangpoo from
Shanghai tC see what all the
shooting was about here.
I believe the Japanese already
have taken certain positions in
the Woosung area, but believe this
to be a minor affair and only
taken as a precaution to protect
the rear Of their lines when they
advance against the Chinese reg
ulars around Shanghai.
More Japanese troops are be-
