So fiercely did the Japanese
repulse repeated Chinese attacks,
which were launched with reckless

efforts of Shanghai's defenders

the recapture of Lotien, is miles

BUILDING AIRDROME
The japanese are building an
airdrome near the confluence OF
the Whangpoo and Yangtze
rivers, which will give them three
air bases around Shanghai.
This afternoon, in retaliation
for the unsuccessful Chinese at
tack on Hongkew, Japanese artll-
lery and naval guns shelled
Chinese positions.
The purpose of the attacks had
been to cut through Hongkew
Park, where the japanese are
strongly entrenched, and gain the
eastern section Of the 1nterna-
tional Settlement.
TRENCHES STORMED
The Chinese delivered their
series Of blows from the charred
and smoking Chapel section.
Through alleywayS and unlighted
streets they pressed forward under
the direction of Feng Yu-hsiang,
China's famous Christian Gen
eral." The push extended along q
wreckage-strewn two-mile front.
Again and again the Chinese
stormed japanese entertainments,
only to be driven back by a hail OF
leaden and steel death from ma
chine guns and trench mortars.

At the same time, the loyalist

forced the government troops in
that sector back to Posada, west
Of Lanes.
Two insurgent trimotored planes

Meanwhile, renewed fighting
was reported northwest of Madrid
when insurgent forces, after a
long period of inaction there,
launched an unsuccessful attack
on the Ell Pardo sector.
Other fierce clashes occurred at
Carabanchel, where insurgents
made six fruitlesS assaults.
At Ell Pardo, officials said, the
loyalists, supported by armored

WHiTE-1O MEN.
White to Move and Mate in Three.
WINFRED HORN once queried
your columnist as to whether it
is proper to refer to pawns in pub
lished problem as "pieces," observing
that adhere to the term men"
In chess all characters are within
the general term men" The spe-
cific term "pieces" is restricted only
to castles, knights, bishops, queens
and kings.
Pawns never are called pieces
by a discerning writer. They
are men,"
Also, concerning the spelling of the
former world champions name. Most
books and magazines and newspapers
spell it with an sc" ending as Alex
hine." But that is a mistake and the
result of gross ignorance.
At the Chicago World Fair in 1898
the then champion of the world told
me the correct spelling was "A-lekh-
in" in English and "Aljechin" (pro-
nounced "Al-yerk-in'D in Russian. The
pronunciation "Al-lee-kine" is ridicu-
lous.
I was glad indeed to note that in
the beautiful edition of Chess Pie,
commemorating the great Noting
ham tournament, the scholarly editor
made q personal reference to "Alekh-
in" as being the correct spelling.
