SHANGHAI, Sept. 3.--China's ar
mics surprised the Japanese late to-
day by smashing counter offensive
and shifted the Shanghai warfare
back to the city proper and placed
in new jeopardy the lives of Amer
lean and other foreigners.
The attack by the Chinese stalled
the long promised push of the Jap
anese and forced a quick revision
by the Japanese OF their strategic
positions

Chinese big gun and also ma
chine gun nests sprayed shells ON
the japanese warships and troop
transports.
Eight Japanese transports quickly
weighed anchor and sped down
stream.

crashed in the French concession
and one projectile struck the roof
of the Second United States Ma
rine Battalion barracks but failed
to explode. Officers said the shell
was one FOUNDER, nti-aircraft.

Stefansson planned that they should

but they survived in good health.
Since then several experiments in
various colleges have been conduct
ed to prove that man cannot live
on meat alone. Stefansson was re-
minded of one midwestern school
which put several students on a
meat diet At the end of two weeks
the men almost turned inside out
at the sight of meat. cooked or raw.
Worried experimenters promptly
ended the test with conclusion
that it would not work. They put
their men back on a balanced diet.
Out on the ice with his two COM
panions, Stefansson had the same
experience. At the end of two weeks
the men could eat no more meat.
Their stomachs rebelled at the sight
of fresh seal blubber or any other
kind OF blubber But Stefansson
waited. He had been through 1t.
After a day or two of eating moth

JAPANESE MAKE THREAT

SHANGHAI, Sept. 3.-The jap
anese Navy today threatened to
open heavy bombardment from
battle positions directly in front OF
the American and other foreign
warships, bringing them squarely
in line of fire.
The Naval spokesman said the
fleet rather than continue to take
heavy pounding from the Chinese
land batteries will shift into posi-
tons where they could reply ade-
quately regardless of danger to
which it exposed foreign warships.
Charges Are Made
The Naval spokesman charges the
Chinese with using trench mortars
and field artillery to lombard the
Japanese warships.
The Japanese occupied Hongkew
today without warning and many of
Japan's own nationals were Killed
or wounded Several consular Of
ficials were also wounded and i'm
mediate and definite Japanese ret
ribution has been demanded.

Part of Stefansson's purpose in
making the journey was to estab-
lish that animal life existed on or
under the ice regardless of the dis
lance from land, and that men
could survive ON what they could
kill. That's where Amundsen comes
in.
He scoffed at Stefansson's con-
tention.

The Musicians
My Mrs. II. Makins

In everything there are laws Of
reason, laws of ways and where
forces Is that when applied TO one
case; would be misapplied in an
other. Then there are standard
laws, fundamental laws, fmdamen-
tal laws fouudational laws. If we
build a house be it ever so fancy
or small, we must have a founda-
ton, we must have a plan. Little
children do you know that way
back in Genesis when Moses ruled,
God had given the Negro (Ethio-
pian) by name traditions. One of
them being naturalism. With little
or no practice at all anything that
a Negro a do, he does it from
nstinob One of the instructive beau
ties is his music. When God made
him planted a song seed in his soul.
Every nation has song, but Am
erica, away back in 1900 the Negro
was brought to this country, slaces
in Hades- But sang his song. Tor
tured to deaths door, yet the songs
went ON. Today his song is the only
native song America has. Years
ago his songs were handed down
only by mouth, today they have
been written recognized and re
corded as Negro music No other
people are able to sing or write
them in the style that the Negro
knows them. Minors, augmented
perfects, and many other moder1
musical terms used u~nknowing by
the ancient Negro. Songs of weari
ness, songs of cheer, spiritual song,
and blues songs came from the sou
and making clear its meaning
of the black man. Each expressing
through the natural emotion only
the song of Ham possessed.
Beginning next week, meet m,
here, that we may study togethe
and discuss music as the black maj
knows it.
