'Highlighted by costumed enter

In the main address of the eve-

For two hours last night the fiVe'

were besieged aboard their ship
while the crowd of 600 waged its
anti-Japanese demonstration.
A few members of the crowd
brushed against police lines. Police
grappled with the attackers and
arrested six suspected ringleaders.
The demonstration was sponsored
by the district council of the Mari

prised of seagoing unions affiliated
with the Committee for Industrial
Organization. But about a third of
the crowd was comprised of Chinese,
who streamed out from the city'S
vast Chinatown to vent their rage
at things and persons japanese.
They arrived aboard the N.Y.K.
lines Tatsuta Maru and the crowd
was waiting.
A great chorus OF shouts, catcalls
and boos broke out as the first pas
sengers stepped onto the gangplank.
The demonstrators surged about the
automobile exit of the pier and
blocked 1t.

shouted, and remember the Shang-

For a time the dock workers con-
tinued at their duties, unmindful
of the disturbance. Then ringlead-
ers of the crowd began crying: Lets

The 400 longshoremen who had
been unloading the ship walked
off. Leaders said it was "in protest
against Japan's activities in China"
The crowd cheered the longshore-

Danger to American and
British troops guarding the
international s e t tt e m e n t
grew hourly tonight after
Japanese forces mopping up north
ern Shanghai fired on one British
detachment from tank.
American and British command
ers stiffened their barricades. It was
understood that the Japanese had
given warning that they planned
an intensive assault along the Soo-
chow creek front, on the edge Of
the positions manned by the for
eign defenders of the settlement,
Both British and American troops
have been authorized to open fire
In self defense If attacked by either
side.
Tension was brought near the
breaking point by the Japanese
tank attack on a party of British
led by Brigadier A.P.D. Teller
Smollett, British army commander
in chief.
Situation a Menace
That the situation was becoming
menacing was Indicated by "re-
quest" by the British consulate to
a number of residents in the zone
along the great western road to
evacuate It was understood they
were complying.
British troops in the western area
were erecting barbed wire concen-
tration camps in the event 1t became
necessary to confine disarmed Chi
nese troops.
A Chinese dare to die" squadron
was barricaded in warehouse In
Chapel. 1t was commanded by Col.
Hsieh Chin-yuan, a Cantonese, who
fought with the former 1etf route
army in the invasion of 1892.
British authorities offered the
squadron an opportunity to cross
the Soochow creek and take refuge
in the settlement but the troops re-
fused. They tossed to British troops
sacks of farewell letters to their
wives and sweethearts.
Chinese reports said that Lieut.
General Chu -Yao-Hua, accepting
responsibility for The loss of Tazane,
had committed suicide.
Brigadier Telfer-Smollett was in
Specting the British defense lines
on the west side of Shanghai, just
outside the international settlement
when attacked.
A Japanese tank nosed half way
across the bridge over Soochow
creek to attack Chinese dare to
die" men fortified inside a factory.
Aid Refugees
The tank crew saw men of the
British Royal Ulster rifles helping
half a dozen terrorized Chinese
refugees to cross the Jessfield rail-
road bridge 100 yards away. Sudden
ly the tanks gun was turned abrupt
ly from the factory on the infan-
trynen, and fired.
A Chinese woman of the refugee
party, holding an infant at her
breast, fell with machine gun
bullet in her body. The baby dropped
to the ground and lay there. crying.
Bullets sprayed the ground all
around the bridge. -Brigadier Teller
Smollett and Eric Mayell, San Fran
cisco, of the novietone company,
were standing at an outpost so yards
away, and dived for cover along with
others. The tank fired only the one
volley and the British detachment
commander ordered his men not TO
fire.
Mayell and Brigadier Telfer-Smol-
lett went forward and Mayell, run
ming to the mother, aided her and
then rescued the baby. The mother
was taken by ambulance to hospital
in the international settlement.
The battle for Shanghai ragged

der of the International settlement
