the plane. One British infantry man was wounded in the cheek, by a stray rifle bullet. An Italian grenadier was killed at his post in the Italian defense sector by a 50 calibre anti-aircraft bullet. He died, shot through the left breast, as he arrived at the United States marine field hospital.
 The Japanese had fought their way into Shanghai proper. They had taken the Chapei-North rail- road station area in the northern part of the city. They surrounded on three sides some thousands of Chinese rear guards. On the fourth side was Soochow Creek, and on the other side of the creek were the American marines.
 Chinese Army Retreatlng
 The main Chinese army, abandon ing the Kiangwan suburb north- east of the city and the Chapel. North railroad station sector in the city were retreating in orderly man. ner to their new Chiang Kai-Chek line of steel, concrete and barbed wire Qualifications to which the Chinese long ago decided to retire when the Japanese "big push" made 1t suicidal to remain on their old front.
 The Japanese were hoping that the momentum of their drive would make 1t impossible for the Chinese to consolidate for @ stand.
 This day of terror started when Japanese planes went up at dawn 30 in one fleet, 12 in another-to bomb the Chinese lines. Soo naf- terward every Japanese gun within range was turned on the Chapel North railroad station area.
 During the night, under cover of the dark, the Chinese were pouring back from their salient in the Kiangwan suburb, and the Japanese planes ripped through the chowded, pushing lines of troops with their bombs and bullets.
 Japanese Went Over Top At 6 @. f1i., the Japanese infantry went over the top in the streets of Shanghai. Two columns got the or- der to 90 forward and they did 50 in face of Q pandemonium of ma chine gun fire from the Chinese rear guard. The Japanese advanced slowly, like automatior1s, into the face of the fire. Their casualties were kept on. Occasionally Chinese mine, planted under a street, would 20 off and bits of bodies would fly throug hthe street, spattering street, buildings and soldiers with blood.
 Shortly before 2 @. I11., the Jap- anese stromed and took the ad- intuition buildingse on the Shang- hai- i-Nanking railroad, adjoining the north staton. They hosted the dising north station. They hoisted the rise ing fun flag over 1t.
 By @. m. there was c 10-mile line of great fires, extending all the way from Kiangwan west to the Chapel North railroad station sector. The flames burned brightly.
 Blood Pooled in Streets
 Blood pooled in the streetss as the Japanese went ahead, bayonetting the rear guards. They could not kill fast enough and took many prison. CTS, for disposal later.
 Japanese army and navy columns joined near the Markham road railroad station, near the U. 8. marine lines. They formed into columns and marched singing, wav- ing little flags they had brought from home through the streets.
 There was rattle of fire from neighboring buildings and Q few marchers died with c song on their lips-Chinese Snipers, last of the "dare to die" squads of rear guards. Internationally, squads of Japanese moved of to right and left, bay onets at the ready, to kill the snipers and the singing columns marched on.
 There was the great blast of c land mine, and more Japanese died. Still the parade, and the singing continued.
 Japanese Flags HolSted
 Japanese flags were hoisted over the Markham road station and factory nearby. Flags went up over c factory in Chinese territory just opposite the Robison road area of the British lines, where three Britt ish flags were flying. Ten minutes later the Japanese flags were hauled down, an dthere was some specula- ton whether the British infantry men had done 1t.
 Foreign military attaches who went out west of the city reported that the main Chinese force was retiring in good order through the area northwest and west of the in. ternational area.
 They were establishing their line perilousiy close to the international area west of the city, and there seemed grave danger of fighting that would iEnperil foreigners.
 Marines Ordered to Fire
 Shanghai, Oct 2T--(UP)--United Gates sailors and marines were in- structed today to defend their posi- tioiig with gtin.f1re as waves of re- figees and Chinese soldiers, many gravely wounded, were swept up against the boundary of the interna- tional settlement.
