 in Fighting

SHANGHAI, Nov. 2.-Shanghais Tn terna tional Settlement and French Concession, refuge of thou sands of Americans and other for eigners, is being shaken by an in- tensive Japanese bombardment of Chinese positions, which are only a short distance west.
 Exploding bombs and shells are falling and shaking buildings.
 The tide of battle is sweeping toward Siccawei, the Catholic Mis- sion center in the southwestern out skirts of the French Concession.
 The French have prepared de- fense positions and set up anti- aircraft guns.
 U. s. Positions Safe
 In the fighting today 1t is notice able that no bombs or shells are being dropped near the positions of the United States Marines but the enemy" is not so particular about "desecrating" British posi- tions.
 The American Flag is displayed at various vantage points and plainly discernibie from bombarding war ships and also by air bombers.
 No Scratches"
 The United States Marine Con- mander has plainly indicated that he wants no territory of the Am erican Marines scratched" He not only has the apology of the Japan csc Commanders, for recent bomb- ings, but also their note that there will be no bombing or smelling of positions being defended by the Marines.
 Another Demand
 The Marine Commander has also demanded, and the request, it is said will be granted, that the Chin- csc ship, discharging rice on the International Settlement side of Soochow Creek, will be returned with the cargo. The Japanese swept across the creek, confiscated the ship, took it to the Japanese posi- tions and began unloading the rice. The American Marine commander sent, right away, his demand" Icouched in no uncertain terms, that the ship be immediately returned with every pound of rice that was aboard.
 British Watch
 The British watched the exchange of notes, and although dubious about the return of the ship, were surprised when it was stated the ship would be sent back across the creek cargo intact"
 The British are not looking toward the Americans for further aid against further smelling or bomb- ing of the positions they are de- lending.
 The push today is going again but the Chinese are giving strong re- sistance Machine gun nests con- stantly surprise the advancing Jap- anese. Many Japanese are being killed or wounded Casualties with in the Chinese lines are not given.
