Declared or Not, It's War
CHANGHA1'S war" of 1882 !

CHANGHAI'S "war" of 1882 was a
y: second-rate movie sham battle
compared with what's going on over
there now. The city of $500, 900 in
habitants and its environs are a
scene of destruction, terror, flames
and death on a mass scale the hor-
ror of which is unthinkable.
Thousands upon thousands of ci-
villains lie dead, dying and wounded,
and the toll increases day after day.
No estimate has even been attempt
ed to determine the amount of cas-
ualties among the Chinese and jap
anese fighting forces. Indeed such
an estimate today might be woefully
inadequate tomorrow, for reports
tell of whole brigades being shot or
blown to bits in single encounter.
Square mile after square mile, es-
pecially in the native Chapel dis
trict, has been Quilted by fires that
rise in the wake of bombs and artil-
lery shells. Millions of men, wom-
en- and children face slower, even
more terrible death by hunger, for
who is to bring supplies from the
outlying farm fields while the whole
area is under terrific fire?
Even in the International Settle
ment life is fleeting, insecure, for
bombs and shells drop there, too.
And with 10000 refugees inside to
be fed, shops are rapidly locking
their doors to protect their wares
from rioters.
AS this is written, the Chinese
land forces, outnumbering the jap
anese four to one, are forcing the
invaders slowly back to the Whang-
poo in fierce ground fighting. Wheth-
er expected japanese reinforce
ments will be able to turn the tide OF
battle is problematical. At the same
time Japanese warships-half the
entire japanese fleet must be in the
Whangpoo-are showering explod-
ing shells upon huge concentrations
of Chinese soldiers.
In the great aerial battle of the
war, the Chinese scored a decisive
victory, successfully turning back
scores of japanese bombers and
fighting planes. The Marking gov
eminent reported that it had brought
down As Japanese planes in the first
ten days of the fighting, including 80
giant bombers, said to cost $3.50, 600
each.
Under the continual threat of
bombs, and with fires raging on all
sides, the governing council of the
International Settlement admitted
that it was unable to care for its own
ward road Jail, one of the worlds
largest. Plans were being made to
turn loose the 1000 inmates, which
included murderers, thieves and
narcotic addicts.
The japanese were reported at
tempting to land $4,000 fresh troops
as reinforcements for the ground
forces being pounded by the Chinese.

Seventy three year old Senator
Smith, in congress 20 years, has a
stable cotton patch which was
granted to his family by George
III in 1747. In the senate, he has
been the leading champion and de-
fender of cotton. With his southern
colonePs blow-torch mustache, and
his chivalrous defense of southern
womanhood, he is the most anthem
tic survival of the days of "Pitch-

He walked out on the Democratic
convention last year, because they
had negro speaker. He remarked,

 The Emergency Relief Act of l0S7 specified, that aliens who on date Of the acts passage, June 20, had not filed declarations of intentions to become citizens should be drop. ped If their presence on WRA proj- ects was brought to the attention ot federal authorities. For some time, since then, welfare officials have been literally swamping WrA head- quarters with such lists.
 Early indications, according to Administrator V. J. Sullivan, are that an appreciable number of those dropped can establish proof of citi. SenShlp or the fact that, within the statutory limitat.on of seven years prior to June 20, they have taken out their "first papers,, In such cases the discharged person should immediately furnish such proof, not to the WPA but to the local wefare agency which erronorously reported him as an allen.

was accused of counter-revolution

years in a prison camp. There she

propaganda, the countess left Russia
