WHANGPO0 RIVER
PLAYS DUAL ROLE
Becomes Both Battlefield
and Means of Escape
for Neutra|s.

The Wangpoo River Is playing q
double role in the tragedy Of embat-
tied Shanghai For Chinese and Jap
anese, the river and its adjacent mud
flats are heavily bombarded battle
field. For the Occidentals marooned
In Shanghai, the sluggish muddy
stream is the nearest exit.
The Wangpoo River is usually the
most anonymous stream in China"
says National Geographic Society
bulletin. whenever Shanghai is
spoken OF as a seaport, the Whangpoo
is being sighted, for this relatively
little-known river actually makes pos
sible the commercial importance Of
Chinas largest city.
Village in 1842.
1.-The Wangpoo can truly be called
the author Of Shanghai's success story:
from fishing village to world port in
less than century. Only native junks
OF Chinese fishermen sailed the Wang
poo and tied up at the walled village
OF Shanghai in 1912, when foreign
trade was first permitted by treaty to
enter. Since then, the muddy creek
has borne sail and steam ships from
all the seven seas, until the traffic has
constructed a modern metropolis on
the Wangpoo's mud flats.
Shanghai is two steps removed from
the ocean. Vessels must travel into
the broad yellow mouth Of the Yang
tie and turn to the left into its tribu-
tary, the Wangpoo, for 13 miles be-
fore reaching seaport Shanghai.
Was Constantly on Silt.
Constantly hanging over the river
Is the threat OF sitting up. Two mil
lion cubic yards of mud a year must
be dredged to keep the channel open
to low-tide depth of % feet. A
treacherous mud-bar turks where the
river empties into the Yangtze, And
here some sea-going vessels transfer
their cargo to lighters rather than
cross the bar.
FIFTY years ago Shanghai was
pitied as doomed CITY, about to be
cut of from foreign trade entirely by
the menacing silt. Warships and
ocean liners, however. still ride at
anchor In Shanghais harbor, keeping
China's leading city among the worlds S
III busiest ports. Foreign shipping,
without reckoning mating winged
sampans and heavy junks that swarm
about the harbor, amounts annually
to over 30,000,00O tons.
Bund Lines Bank.
Beside the Wangpoo runs the
world-famous Bund, crowded thor
oughfare replete with foreign and
local color. Clubs, banks, business
houses, and consulates focus inter-
national interest along the water
front. With approximately 60, 900 for
eigners of so different nationalities
in Shanghai on business and pleasure.
the Wangpoo bears great responsible
1ty as commercial entrance and safety
exit
Paraleling the river on the route
from the Yangtze to the metropolis is
the first railroad built in China. But
1t has not yet even challenged the
supremacy of water transportation In
linking the port with the sea.
Clipper ships moored in the Wang
poo, and restless to recruit a full crew

Jaw to that.
Norwegian newspaper men asked

ing on the incident, declared that
MRS. Hartman seems to be strictly
Instructed not to give positive state
ments"
Mrs. Hartman, the second American

The new Minister'S frankness gave

Then an interviewer asked the WASH

Mrs. Hartman replied quickly.
The public was not supposed to
know of such negotiations at this

emphasize the point that I'VE have
