SHANGHAI, Nov. 2.-Huge pro-
Sectiles from Japanese warships in the
Whangpoo River burst along Shang-
hats water front tonight menacingly
close to the United States cruiser Au-
susta.
The Augusta, lying close to the
cruiser Idzumo, Japanese flagship,
cleared her decks and batened port
holes as a precaution for the safety of
her crew.
The bombardment was aimed at
Chinese batteries in industrial Poo
tung, across the Whangpoo from the
International Settlement. 1t was in
answer to Chinese artillery shelling of
Japanese forces in the Yangtzepoo
and Hongkew sectors of the Shanghai
front.
Foreign Zone Shaken.
Shsnghai's International Settlement
and French Concession, refuge of
thousands of Americans and other
foreigners, were shaken by intensive
Japanese bombardment of Chinese po-
sitionx only short distance to the
west.
Exploding bombs and shells shook
buildings as far away as Shanghai's
Bund. but no projectiles fell within
the settlement or concession bound
aries.
At st.. Johns University, in the
Jessfeld Park area just west Of the
AAfflAn4aHf frnrSn
crashed into the roof of gymnasium
used as a barracks by British troops,
but none was injured.
Junk Incident Closed.
A japanese naval officer described
as closed a Soochow Creek incident
which yesterday produced an Ameri-
can protest and a Japanese apology.
The officer said Japanese bluejackets
sent back to the American-protected
zone junk seized on the. Interna-
tional Settlement side of the stream.
The japanese bombardment was de-
signed to pulverize Chinese defenses
extending west from the International
Settlement south of Soochow Creek.
Despite Chinese assertions to the con-
trary, foreign observers reported that
japanese on the southern bank Of
the stream had expanded their front
for approximately mile on each side
Of Rubicon Village.
st. Johns University campus, a
wooded tongue formed by northward
loop of the creek, was turned into a

members previously had evacuated the
crowded section surrounding the uni

At Siccawei Catholic Mission 120
foreign priests Of 10 nationalities, in
cluding 10 Americans, and q number
of French nuns carried on Siccawei
observatory and mission activities and
cared for 5000 refugees.

els RouleaU, Yakima, Wash,
Negotiations we're under way among
French, Chinese and Japanese au-
thorities to outline protective neu-
tral zone around the mission proper
ties. 1t was learned that representa-
tives of the three powers were meet
ing to consider an agreement to in
sure safety of the priests, nuns and
refugees.
The properties include a cathedral,
convent and observatory. The pro-
posed agreement was understood to
provide that French patrols police
the mission temporarily, with the pos
sibility that long-term lease be
negotiated later.

Isn't this the night that Veronica
girl is giving a party? Shouldn't we
drop in for a while-and take Garth?
He might enjoy it. Something differ
ent for change"
She threw her arms about his neck
"Phil. you know I want to go. But
didn't think you liked the crowd. Ill
call Garth"
DILL dressed carefully, a white tie
and a gardenia in his buttonhole.
He had no intention Of going to the
party. He would drive Lynne and
Garth down and then he would in
vent some business at the office and
sneak away to a show.
Garth would see new Lynne, new
to him at least, the Lynne who had
returned from Paris. who talked of
perspectives and Impressions and fu-
turistic art. The fellow would be
jealous and sulk probably, or he would
be like rhinoceros playing tag
with a butterfly. They would quarrel
and probably never see each other
again.
Phil let himself into the den. The
fire had burned low, but the embers
reflected from the brass image on the
mantel He glanced at his watch.
Two o'clock. He tossed log on the
fire and settled himself into chair,
book on his lap. He smiled. There
was the Ming vase on the taboret,
fragile and thin as eggshell, and
the japanese prints where the light
from the window could fall upon them.
He liked those things. He was COM
Portable and satisfied. and he could
keep everything just as it was.
The telephone tangled.
y
"pHIL!" Lynne,s voice was angry or
excited. he couldn't be sure
which. You planned everything,
didn't you? You knew what the party
would be like and what-what Garth
would think. OF course, you were only
thinking of me- You didn't want me
to make a mistake-about Garth,
mean. But Phil, it vast was ter
rible Every one just looked at him
and he was embarrassed and he tried
to do the things they were doing and
he only looked foolish. You knew it
would be like that But Garth under
stands too, guess"
Now listen. SIS" he pleaded. IT
wanted everything to be right with
you. I'm sorry if"
"And, Phil, l don't suppose I'll be
wanting that money not for long
time yet. And when We do divide the
property maybe I could have that place
down on the lake. can put a house
there, somewhere that can paint and
the crowd can drop in for week
ends"
why. of course-but don't un-
derstand"
Phil, isn't it grand-Garth and I.
We're going abroad for a year-for our
honeymoon. He wants to see Paris
and-well, the things Veronica and
the rest talk about-that means so
much to me-"
Phil Pammer looked out at the drip
ping steps. "And when they take that
property there won't be house on it
there will be home. the kind that
she's always talked about"
He tossed the little brass god into
the fire. Just for luck"

It was contorted with laughter.
IT wonder how many men you've
ruined before" Phil murmured.
He stole to the wall safe and took
out a sheaf of papers. There were
notes. but they did not matter. II
was the letter on top. He read II
again. An assessment levied on public
utility stock for the purpose OF con-
structing a dam. A $4,000 assess
ment of his holdings. Unless he con-
verted what was left of the estate into
cash, his share and his sisters, those
figures spelled ruin.
Another three months and he might
dispose of that property on the lake.
Now it was worthless. Or that as
bestos mine in Montana would be in
operation by then. A year ago he
would have taken Lynne money and
explained it to her as an investment.
He knew he could repay 1t. But

upon her marriage, and unless Phil
was mistaken, that would be soon.
He heard the door close and his sis

swered and stuffed the papers
into the safe. He was mixing a drink
when she entered.
And there you are, Phil Pammer-
broker, bachelor and man about town. ="
She laughed and poked at him with
her finger. "Contented, with everything
tust as you like it. Phil, you are dear" "
"Really?" He avoided looking at her.
MAYBE I'll be wanting my money
pretty soon, Phil. That won't bother
the business, will it?'
He stared into the fire. I'm afraid
It will be less than you expect. You
see"
But, Phil, can't get it now?"
"Oh, of course, of course; we'll fix
everything up. But listen here, Lynne,
you're not really serious about marry
ing that chap, are you?-that truck
man-What's his name-Garth Wood?
I had other plans, better plans, for
you"
She sat on the bearskin rug, her
knees propped under her chin. I'm
afraid am, Phil But you'll like him,
really, when you know him. And he
isn't just truckman. He owns his
own fleet of trucks. And-oh. I guess
I'm silly little thing, but you under
stand don't you"
Did you ever consider that might
object-that might not allow you to
marry this fellow?" His voice was
level. but his hands ripped the arm
of his chair.
CHE faced him. Angry spots flashed
~ in her cheeks. And why should
you object? I'm 20 and I can do
what I please"
He nodded. Il suppose you will do
what you please. Let's not quarrel
about it. But there's your painting.
If I hadn't thought you had talent I
wouldn't have sent you to study in
Europe. And did you ever look at the
fellow in this light-how is he going
to fit in with your way of living, with
your friends and alp"
He saw the shadow of uncertainty
that passed across her face. II know

Botanists Seek
Mystery Plant

-
TOWER, Mimi, April 10. (UP)
Northern Minnesota has a missing
plant mystery which has remain
ed unsolved for more than 20
years.
1t involves the only known spc-
cics of a peculiar aquatic growth
ever found in this country.
In 1890, DR.. j. II. Sandberg, of
the University of Minnesota bot
any department, collected speci-
mems of the floating marsh mari
gold near Tower, and again in
1903 or 1904. Dr.. II. l.. Lyon,
also of the University Of Mime
sofa, found the species. Neither
before nor since has it been To-
Gated anywhere in the United
States.
DR.. Hugo Gluck, OF Heidelberg
university, Germany, botaniSt.
who has spent 80 years in the
study of aquatic seed plants, is
interested in the floating mari
gold because it belongs to a group
Of Towering plants in which
there are few aquatic members.
Although DR.. Gluck'S research
has brought him specimens of
nearly every known aquatic seed
plant, he reports he has been UNI
able to get either seeds or roots
of the floating marsh marigold so
that he could cultivate it.
According to c. o. Rosendahl,
head of the Minnesota botany de-
partmcnt, the plant resembles the
ordinary marsh marigold, except
that the flowers are white instead
of yellow, and the leaves are
somewhat smaller. 1t grows in
shallow water, so that the leaves
float on the surface. When it
blossoms, the flowers are slightly
raised above the water surface.
The plant has been found at Il
few scattered places in Canada,
but no other discovery in the
United States except at Tower,
and that 80 years ago, is record
