PEIPING, China, July 8.-Terrified
Chinese soldiers and police told me
today-through \ crack in the gate
of the tiny. walled garrison city Of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they believed the
new Sino-Japanese trouble began.
Bullets were whistling overhead
While we talked.
The soldiers said the fighting started
about II pm. yesterday. Japanese
troops, supposedly making a sham
war game" attack against the marble
Marco Polo Bridge and the city Of
Vanpinghsien, suddenly stopped using
blank cartridges, they said, and
loaded their rifles with real bullets.
This morning japanese troops from
the Fengtai garrison near Peiping were
holding the historic bridge, 10 miles
west of the ancient dragon capital
Of Peiping.
Chinese Sneak Across.
But at this minute, 6:35 pm, the
bridge is deserted except for Chinese
soldiers I can see sneaking across un-
der its marble balustrade carrying
potato masher" hand grenades. Re-
Inducements also can be observed,
moving cautiously westward toward
the besieged garrison OF Wanpinghsien.
1t is evident now that the Japanese
have encountered much sitter resist
ance than might have been expected
earlier.
A steady stream of bullets is singing
overhead. I can hear them ping and
ricochet off the stone embankments
along the river.

From my cover under the city's walls
I can see the bodies Of two Chinese
soldiers who were killed by Japanese
machine gun fire last night.

Now Wanpinghsien's gates are
closed and heavily sandbagged after
q four-hour artillery bombardment,

parts said scores of Chinese soldiers
and more than dozen civilians were
killed Many houses, they said, were
wrecked No official check-up Of the
casualties and destruction has been
compiled yet, however.
Peasants in this neighborhood are
frightened. They told me they have
watched this situation brewing a long
time, and do not know to what 1t
will lead.
They told how japanese troops have
maneuvered continually in this dis
trict for more than year. They told
how they had watched cavalry bri-
gades and heavy, motorized artillery
troops trample down their crops, often
dragging guns across the unfenced
fields.
japanese Won't Pay.
They said there was nothing they
could do except hope The Japanese
never offered to pay for the damage.
Official sources tell me the Chinese
still are willing to negotiate a fair
and reasonable settlement. But If
the Japanese refuse to confer again
or no agreement can be reached, the
Chinese intend to fight.

troops attempted to capture the marble
bridge across the Yingting River.
After a brief skirmish there. the
Chinese Withdrew into Wanpinghsien,
which the japanese brought under
artillery fire at dawn.
Japanese sources denied Wanpingh-
sien had been bombarded and ac-
cused the Chinese Of starting the trou-
bic. Mai. Takeo 1mai, assistant jap
anese military attache, said Chinese
troops had fired on maneuvering Jap
enese troops at II pm. Wednesday.
He added the Japanese halted their
maneuvers and concentrated to await
developments at midnight. At am,
he continued, the Chinese again
opened fire, and the Japanese were
forced to take self-defense measures.
Scores of Chinese soldiers and 4
Japanese officer were reported killed
and several commissioned jap
anese officers and soldiers were
wounded.

Then the Japanese captured the
Marco Polo Bridge and the Peiping-to-
Hankow railway line.
Resumption of the fighting after
expiration of an hours truce for dis
Cussions Of the first skirmish between
japanese and Chinese forces came at
IL am. today. Heavy firing from the
vicinity of the bridge of Marco Polo
was clearly audible here.
1t was understood the Japanese had
served an ultimatum on Gen. Sung
Cheh-Yuan's troops, giving them an
hour to surrender, and that the siege
of the walled city where the Chinese
established their main positions was
renewed when the grace expired.
During the interval, Chinese REIN
forcements were rushed up from
Changsintien to the west into posi-
tions facing the Japanese across the
Ying-Ting River. Official Chinese here
declared they intend to fight if the
Japanese are unwilling to negotiate
q reasonable settlement of this crisis
In Sino-Japanese affairs.
Attackers Have Scant Cover.
The fighting stopped again at Q
pm. as abruptly as it had started.

The mining town of Tulsequah, B. C., on the Taku River was threatened with flood waters yes- terday and plans were being made to take residents aboard a steamer if necessary.
 Pilot Alex Holden, of the Marine Airways, returned here late yester- day afternoon and reported that the Taku River had risen one foot the night before, and when he left from a flight there to the Polaris- Taku mine, the water was within one foot of the top of the wharf at Tulsequah.
 Capt. William Strong's Taku River boat Jeanne was standing by ready to take aboard any of the residents of the town, should oc- casion demand and carry them to safety.
 Other reports said the Tulsequah which empties into the Taku, was a roaring torrent of flood water which was being poured into the Taku River.
 Those living on the lowlands, it is said, had already moved to high CT levels to escape the rising water
 No flights were made to that section today to ascertain later re- suits of the flood.

Winding up a busy baseball week, Douglas this evening at 6:30 o'clock at Firemen's Park meets the Elks nine in seven-inning tussle.

 Douglas, so far this season, has had no more luck against the Elks than was the Moose's previous lot against the Islanders, but figure the good work of Jonah-swallowing should not now be discontinued.
 Tonights tussle looks to be the pitchers battle that Juneau fans have been awaiting, with Douglas ace flinger, Claude Erskine, match ing losses with the chucking star of the Elks, Nick Johnson. The two have shown to be the top hurlers of the league this year, and their matching should bring out air-tight baseball. The Islanders will pro- bably borrow catcher Orin Addle- man from the Moose for tonight's game.

By plane from Ruby to Fairbanks, by plane from Fairbanks to Juneau, and again by plane from Seattle to Los Angeles, air-minded Mrs. Thom- as J. DeVane, wife of the former Senator from the Fourth Division, arrived in Juneau aboard the PAA Electra yesterday and is sailing south aboard the Baranof today only because no plane trip from Juneau to Seattle is available.
 Mrs. DeVane, who stopped over night at the Gastineau Hotel, has for years travelled by plane because of the time saved, and regrets the delay of the boat trip to Seattle. She plans to return to her home in Ruby in two months, and hopes to make the trip completely by air.
 While in the south, Mrs. DeVane will visit briefly in Seattle and stay for the remainder of the time in Los Angeles and Long Beach, visit mg with friends.
 Snow Still Heavy
 Leaving Ruby just few days after MT. DeVane returned from a trip south, Mrs. Devane reports that snow is still heavy in the in- terior. She states that the depth of snow through the winter reached 20 feet at her home and that for nine months snow has fallen almost con- tinuously.
 Danger of food shortage threat ened residents of Ruby during the last few weeks, Mrs. DeVane stated this morning, since the arrival of the first boat was delayed by the late ice break up. Many staple ar- ticles were low when the boat fin ally arrived last week.
 Mrs. DeVane states that the ice breakup caused great damage in Ruby, wrecking the saw mill and crashing through backs of buildings on the main street of the town.
