 The Japanese were on the right or south bank of the, Whangpoo di- rectly north of Chapoo and about i8 miles from Shanghai. A little eastward of the Japanese position the Whangpoo turns sharply north WhTQ VOWHEQ 6HhtlBHdi'

 The Pootung section of Shanghai, which Chinese hold in great strength, is on the right bank of the river, across the International Set- clement. It was assumed that, as this new army is aimed against Poo- tung, It's men would stick to the right bank and thus add perhaps Ave miles to their route. Japanese spokesmen said that the Japanese had advanced e few miles inland, and that fighting went on for the 26 hours which the Japanese took to reach the river. It was asserted that Chinese losses were heavy. On the northwestern front, in Shanghai province, Japanese authorities as- serted, Japanese troops had enter cd the north gate of the great Chi-

Japan Pleased Over Italy But Denies German Report

Tokyo, Nov. 6-(UP)-Japan be- lieves that 1taly's adherence to the German Japanese anti-ConNnunist alliance will give strong impetus to friendly re'ations among the three nations, a foreign office statement said today. The hope was expressed that other nations would adhere to the agreement. Needless to say. the foreign office statement pointed out, Communism was incompatible with Japan's political structure. Communism never adds to the well fare of humanity, the statement as- serted, but on the contrary de- stroyed welfare.
 "The destructive operations of the Communist internationale on the fabric of world peace are seen in the civil war which is raging in Spain as well as the present out break in China, which is largely due to the Communist International'S machinations." said the statement.
 Therefore it is the moral mis- sion imposed on Japan by her po- htical structure to suppress the evils of Communism and the Com munist InternatIonale. For this reason Janan entered the agreement

 The jurors retired ct o:20 p. m, last night after Judge Charles s. Bell outlined three possible verdicts for or against the 3i-year.old ma tron, whom the state described as c blonde borgia" who poisoned elderly men for their money.

 It was highly reasSuring, the statement continued, that Italy should have adhered to the agree ment "when Japan Is fighting for the complete liquidation of China's opposition to end agitation against Japan, and also for prevention Of China's Bolshevization." It was noted that Italy adhered as Japan was preparing to observe the first anniversary of her pact with Ger many.
 Despite the jubilance expressed over italy's adherence to the agree ment, the foreign office went to considerable length to deny reports -emanating from Berlin that Adolf Hitler hoped to mediate a set- clement of the Chinese-Japanese war.
 "Of course 1t Is unthinkable in the present state of affairs that Hitler should have committed him- self to such an act" the foreign office spokesman said. Tt is pre- stunned, therefore. that the current report is a mendacious one cir- culated by certain quarters which hava same ulterior motive in mind"

 London, Nov. 6 = (U.PJ = Brit ish government and court circles fear that the Duke of Windsor may soon try to return to Great Bri. tain as the result of his cancella- ton of plans to visit the United States, 1t was learned today. It has been made plain that any such ef- fort would be regarded as Q most serious development and would meet with the determined opposi- ton of the government. The fact Is, however, that the Duke, angry over the multiplying signs that he has forfeited all prerogatives of the high office to which he was born, may insist on his right as c British subject.
 Nothing to Stop Return
 There Is nothing to prevent the Duke from returning. Nevertheless 1t Is understood that the Duke, when he abdicated, promised to re- main away from Britain for e con- siderable time-three years has been mentioned. Regardless of this, the governments attitude Is known the Duke and his American born wife are not wanted in Britain now or for Q considerable time. Ills rec turn would be regarded as an evfa- barrassment to the government and to the present king, his brother, George.

Major league baseball players
know little about finance, but
they can make a tidy profit on
the stock market, Gordon Stanley
Mickey" Cochrane, manager OF
the Detroit Tigers, indicated today
before the Securities Exchange
Commission.
Cochrane was called as a wit
ness in the commissions inquiry
into alleged market manipulations
in Atlas Tack stock by w. E. Hut
ton and Company, nationally
known brokerage firm.
Cochrane nervously told how he
bought 1000 shares of Atlas at
$11 per share and how he SubSe
quently sold 400 shares at profit
of $2,400.
Cochrane testified that baseball
players don't confine their con-
versation to purely diamond mat
terS when discussing business.
He said he had held conversations
regarding his Atlas deal with Al
Simmons, his Detroit teammate;
Joe Cronin, manager of the Bos-
ton Red Sox; George Walberg,
Red Sox pitcher, and Del Baker,
Tiger coach.
Questioned by Jacob Gruber,
commission counsel, Cochrane ad-
mitted he knew very little about
stocks and the stock market. Al
though he was quite active as a
securities trader, the Detroit man
ager said his account with the
Hutton firm was handled by Jerry
Mccarthy, a customers man.
Cochrane was vague as to
whether he talked to Mccarthy
prior to his purchase of the
1000 shares Of Atlas stock in No
vember.
The commission has accused the
Hutton Company of running the
price Of Atlas Tack up from $11 to
$50 a share between November,
1885, and February, 1886.
Gruber drew from Cochrane that
he sold 200 shares of his holdings
in August at SIT per share and
then 200 more at an average of
little over $16 a share. .
When he finally stepped off the
stand, Cochrane mopped his brow
remarking:
I'D rather be back Of that
plate. This is something new
to me-"
