Shanghai, Sept 6.-(AP)-Japan
fought with virtually no essential
progress today in a terrific offensive
against Shanghai over an area of APP
proximately 100 square miles.
Chinese lines sagged but did not
itreak under the combined force of
charging Japanese infantry air, ar
tillery and naval commandments.
The battle area stretched all the
way from the edge of the information
al settlement to Woosung, about IL
miles north of Shanghai.
The Japanese contended that their
operations were aimed only at wip-
ing out Chinese machine gun nests
and joining broken Japanese lines.
From the Yangtze-Poo district of
Shanghai to Woosung and to Taoshan
and Liuho on the Yangtze shore, Jap
anese naval land and air bombs swept
the countryside with sustained fire
that took a frightful toll of non-com-
Blatant lives.
Chinese batteries answered with
ceaseless barrage of hand grenades,
trench mortars and machine guns.
Chinese at Woosung, whose stubborn
stand continues to surprise foreign
military observers, foiled Japanese
effort to land new achievements.

Japan has interim replied to the
protest against the machine-gunning
of Sir Hughe Montgomery Knat-

The text was not disclosed, pending
consideration of it's contents by
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.
Authoritative sources expressed
concern over this development in the
Anglo-Japanese situation. They said
the interim nature of the reply ap-
parently indicated that Great Britain
would refuse to accept it unless it
satisfied British demands.
Reports of Japanese Foreign Minis
ter Koki Hirota's speech to the Diet,
casting doubt on what Britain had re-
garded as the established fact that a
Japanese war plane was responsible
for the attack, caused public indigna-

Insurgents H a r d
Pressed in Besieged
Spanish City; Loss

Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Frontier,
Sept. 6.-(AP) = Government lines
frightened today around the band of
insurgents besieged in Belchite
cathedral, 20 miles south of Zaragoza,
as government batteries poured shells
into the cathadrel tower to silence the
last opposition in the strategic Ara
gon village.
The battled insurgents, preferring
death to capture held out steadily a
gainst the massed forces which the
government said totaled $4,000 SOL
diers.
Except for the cathedral and the
nearly square, officials said the gov
eminent was in complete possession
of Belchite, and that it's forces were
pushing on westward to attempt
severance of insurgent communica-
tons between Zaragoza and Teruel.
Belchite streets were reported to be
strewn with insurgent dead and it was
believed destruction was as complete
as in nearby Quinto, where not a
house escaped damage.
A terse insurgent communication
disputed government claims to pos
session of Belchite and said all gov
eminent attacks had been repulsed.
Streams of government trucks rum
bled over the hot plains bearing tired
front line fighters for the war zone
for three-day rest behind the lines.
The government said it had conquer
eral towns in the Aragon drive Insur-
gent reinforcements were being con-
centrated along the front after hav-
ing been hurried from the Santander
sector to the northwest.

"Action has just been taken for the
avowed purpose of reducing the price

is below the cost of production, and
far below the parity price.
"The farmers have all to gain ana
nothing to lose by organizing a strong

hats this year are the answer to
our prayers. No longer do we have
to cover our head with heavy warm
hats. This year our hats are
crownless and light. Many of them
are just braided or twisted bands
worn turbanwise and back on the
head. Twisted chiffon and printed
silks are worn turbanwise around
the head for afternoon. For morn
ing and casual daytime wear there
are braided and twisted jersey, cot
ton and bandanna bands. With
your dark linen tailored suit wear
a draped band of jersey in bright
or light color. With your light cot
ton prints wear a bright band in
a solid color. If you feel you want
just a little more hat, wear the
same turban band with a strip of
self material running down the
center and forming a bow or short
streamerS at the back. You can
have a half dozen of these crown
less hats in various colors, and yet
spend only a dollar or two.
For active sports there are any
number of skull caps in white or
colored fishnet. These are topped
with cork button. There are tiny
