CHINESE ARE ABOUT READY ID DECLARE
 WAR 0N NIPPON
SHIPPERS IN SETTLEMENT PICK ING OFF JAPANESE RESI-
 DENTS

SHANGHAI, Jan. 30, (Pl-Seeth- ing with the widest disorder Shanghai awaited with grave ap- prehension the unmistakable con- firmation reports from Ranking that the national government has decided to declare war on Japan.
 Tho the north section of the in- ternational settlement is still clouded by smoke which swept over the ruins, hundreds of Japan csc marines and plain-clothes re- serves are patrolling the settle ment where rowdy elements are securing in an orgy of lawlessness. Every man carried a pistol with fingers on triggers.
 By their own statement Japan csc are looking for Snipers, other than Chinese, whose actions are questionable but it is not appar- ent by what standards they judg- ed these actions.
 Japanese circulated reports that Chinese snipers are picking of Japanese residents and it is inn perative to root them out. If that was the purpose of the job it ap- peared to be done under no cen tral authority but rather, by indi- vidual gangs who are law unto themselves.

CHINESE CITY IN FLAMES; THOUSANDS
 DEAD FROM FIGHT
UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND UNITE IN PROTECTING
 OWN CITIZENS

SHANGHAI, Jan. 30, Almost the entire Chinese quarter in north Shanghai where 100000 Chinese made their homes is ablaze with fires which have resulted because of the occupation of the Japanese armed forces and hundreds of Chi nese have taken the inevitable fate of being incarcerated rather than to face the bullets of the Japanese.
 The fire, once started, spread rapidly, and because attempts to halt the conflagration were dis couraged by Papanese number of buildings are being reduced to nothing but ruins and ashes.
 The opposing factions Thursday agreed to 12hour armistice but almost immediately after this a. greement bursts of rifle fire oc- cured and by dawn Friday real fighting had again broken out.
 Because the Japanese have been using their concession in the in ternational settlement as a base to direct their Shanghai shore op- eration, it was reported that the Chinese had threatened to attack the settlements but these reports ar being denied, Edwin s. Gun ningham, U. s. Consul, said, declar- ing the Chinese military author ities have not made such threat.
 The Chinese did, however, move up their artillery and trench mor- tarS Friday and began an attack on the Japanese marines who are inside the international settle ment and many shells have been dropped by the Chinese inside the area.
 This area, on the northern edge of the international settlement, IS said to have been the scene of the heaviest fighting with both artil- lery and machine gun fire.
 The Japanese planes continued to harasS the Chinese inhabitants and more than 26 bombs have been hurled on the Chinese section.
 The defense of their homes by the Chinese is described as heroic because in the absence of proper war equipment, such as armored cars, etc, they stood of the Jap aneSe onslaught.
 Casualties which have resulted because of the Shanghai fighting are said to be 5000 Chinese killed and 132 Japanese with the total increasing each hour.
 Two more aircraft carriers. three deStroyers, more cruisers and 3 squadon of submarines, have been ordered by the Japanese govern ment to proceed to Shanghai.
 The United States and Great Britain are contemplating joint action to protect their nationals.

WILDUR's LETTER OF APPROVAL ID CHAIRMAN,
 LOCAL COAL DUNKERs

Referring to Bill H. R. 500, in troduced in Congress by Delegate James Wickersham, Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur, in answer to a let ter from the Alaska Delegate, sent the following letter to Chairman Williams of the Committee on Ter ritorieS:
 Hon. Quinn Williams, House of Representatives:
 have received from the Com nlittee on Territories a copy of H. R. 500, entitled, "A Bill to author ize the construction of coal bun- ker on the part of the Alaska Rail- road at Seward, Alaska, and to make an appropriation for t h e construction and m aint e ance thereof with request for a report thereon to the Committee.
 The project of constructing and. operating coal bunkers at Seward, Alaska, has been under conSidera- tion from time to time by the man. agement of the Railroad; however, until recently there has not been dfinite prospect of sufficient de- mand for coal mined in the fields tributary to the Alaska Railroad to warrant the expense of provid- ing special coal handling equip ment at Seward, the southern ter minus of the Railroad.
 Assurances have lately been re- ceived tending to indicate that an export business in coal can be de- veloped to a minimum rate of 1O,- 900 tons per annum, within the near future.
 Tn view of the outlook for the increase of traffic, and on the rec ommendation Of the General Man ager of the Railroad, I have ap- proved the project. The matter is in the hands of the General Man ager for further action, in line with his recommendation. It is pro- posed to institute charge of soc per ton of coal for the utilization of such facilities in the loading of vessels at Seward
 Tn proceeding in the case, it has been assumed that new legiS- tion is not required in view of the language already contained in the Alaska Railroad Act of March 12, 1914 (36 Stat; 305), authoriz- ing the President of the United States to build or otherwise ac- quire docks, Wharves, terminal facilities, and all structures need ed for the equipment and opera ton of such railroad or railroad, < < :; < :;
 With regard to the special ap- propriation of $75,0OO proposed in this bill, I have to recommend that the same be not authorized, as it is expected to allot an amount for the purpose from sufficient balance estimated to remain a. vailable in the appropriation for the current fiscal year"
