By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 9.-Shanghai fell
into japanese hands today with the
retreat of Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek's Chinese warriors, who had held
out 88 days against combined Japanese
army, navy and air forces.
The city was asleep and unaware of
It's fate, when, shortly after midnight,
Chinese forces began an orderly, quiet
retreat toward their winter line" pro-
tecting Marking, the nations capital.
japanese, apparently, did not learn
of the retreat until s am e pm,
E. S. T., Monday.
The withdrawal enabled Japan to
place ring of steel around China s
greatest port, cutting off the metrop-
oils from the rest of the nation and
bottling up 100000 Chinese residents,
100000 refugees and many thousands
OF Americans and other foreigners.
Railroads and highways in all di-
rections were cut or blocked by Jap
anese, leaving only few foreign and
japanese vessels as the sole connec-
tion with the outside world.
Foreigners Are Relieved.
American and foreign communities
hreathed more easily, as if a long
siege suddenly had been lifted. The
plight of Chinese inhabitants and war
refugees was considered tragic, how
ever, as they have no means of escape
and must reconcile themselves to a
long period of isolation surrounded by
Japanese troops. So
While the loss of Shanghai un-
ooubtedly will affect China's morale
at least temporarily, Generalissimo
Chang declared today that Shanghai
operations were purely local and did
not form a vital part of the nations
chief defenseS, which, he said. were
about the Yellow River region.
The warfare, the generalissimo said
will be transferred at present to the
great delta lands of the lake region
west OF Shanghai, where China has
several so-called Hindenburg lines.
These lines reach as far back as
Changshu, Kashing and Soochow,
some so miles to the west.
I'VE will fight with the same yigor
and determination in the future as
we did at Shanghai" the generals
simo said confidently.
Cost Is Tremendous.
Although it was impossible to de-
termine precisely the financial loss
and casualties of the two belligerents.
neutral observers summarized cost of
the conflict in the Shanghai and

Richard Spaigh, a grand nephew
of Gov. Arthur Dobbs, and Eliza

President Roosevelt yesterday pro-
