SHANGHAI, Feb. 25. = Japanese
men and guns were hurled at
Chinese defenses in the Tazang sec
tor today in the most terrific as
sault so far attempted in the heav-
lily mined area-an attack so vio-
lent that foreign observers estimat-
ed 1000 Chinese were killed or
wounded.
The Chinese clung desperately
to their defenses despite the rain
of artillery fire and aerial bombs
from the Japanese.
Masses of green uniformed jap
anese troops surged forward in the
wake of protecting artillery fire
and aerial bombs, capturing the
Chinchiashan sector, less than two
miles northwest of Kingwan, at
1890 p. m.
From this stronghold, the jap
anese left wing started an attack on
the Chienkochi, Houkouchia and
Yenchiajao sectors.
Foreign military attaches wit
messed the battle today between XII
angwan and Mauhang. One said
the Chinese stood their ground
amazingly we'll "after they appeared
practically annihilated."
The casualties in todays fight
ing were almost equal to the an
nounced casualties reported during
all previous operations.
From an observation tower near
kiangwan race course, the foreiRn
attaches saw about 5000 Chinese
troops concentrating against the
Japanese.
The Japanese artillerymen which
had advanced short time before.
got an accurate range and literally
moved down the Chinese.
The Chinese front line broke. Re-
lnforcements were rushed into the
line from the direction of Tazang.
Then the Chinese advanced again
under a merciless bombardment.
The Chinese appeared and disap-
peared among smoke screens and
thick clouds kicked up by bursting
shells.
The foreign attaches said the
troops movement in the heavy
smoke clouds gave the impression
OF sham battle.

close enough to have been called a
draw. Carter did not display much
class. He was slow and made many
wild swings. Davis made Carter look
bad when he backed the Wildcat to
the ropes in the third round and belt
ed him several times without a re-
turn. Carter seems helpless when
crowded to the ropes. He stands
without any defense and does not
fight back. The show Wednesday
night was a corker and pleased a
