HEAT STRIKES AT
 CITY ONCE MORE
Only Murmur of Relief Is Half Hearted Promise
 of Some Showers

Heat surpassing midsummer tenn peratures cloaked Waterbury today with discomfort, the only bright aspect of Labor day weekend weather was the paradoxical pre- diction of showers tonight. Sum- ming of weather records kept by James R. Walker, city plumbing in- spector, at city hall, showed that August established Q 22 year record for precipitation. The rainfall for the month was 7.64 inches and, in 1915, 7.S2 inches of rain fell. August established some kind of an all- time record for heat. however, Taken as an average, old-timers con- cur with records to the effect that last months 3l days made the hot test August hereabouts in half a century.
 More TOFridity
 Today promised further intoler- able torridity when, at e;30 o'clock, the thermometer at city hall read s2 degrees. This figure Is Q few de- grees higher than the reading for the same time the last few days, indicating that yesterdays maximum of 80 degrees wilI be passed before showers bring possible relief late today.
 That the unreasonable weather may cause Q peculiarly mixed hang over this weekend is to be expected, amateur prophets agree, Whether Labor day shines fatr or tropical showers arrive preclpitously, none cared tG predict.

(COpyrlght, 1887. By United PrsssD
 Shanghai, September {. = (UP) = Japan, her vaunteu war machine halted by Q hiss tory-making Chinese resist. ance, rushed a new army to Shanghai today in a desper- ate effort to capture the city quickly and restore her tarll- ished prestige. Chinese in- telligence operatives advised the high command that 4o Japa- nese transports, heavily loaded with troop endorsements and munitions, had arrived off Woosung at the mouth of the Whangpoo river dur- ing the morning. It was reported that the endorsements included at least two divisions of infantry on full war footing = meaning . rnin- inum troop strength. If true, of from 40,000 to 5000 men.
 Japan Has Been Stopped
 Out among the sIaouldering vile 1ages north of the city, along the shores of the Whangpoo, China's ill-armed boys and men had stopped the trained autornations of the Jap- aTese army in their tracks. In the city, Chinese artillery batteries still smashed at the battered Japanese strongholds in Hongkew. So eta. barrassing was the unexpected fercc. ity of the Chinese defense that the Japanese apparently had altered their entire tactical plan. First, war ships were sent down to the mouth of the Whangpoo and around Into the Yanktze to try again to blast the stubborn Chinese from the strong points ct which they have held back the Japanese all week.
 Navy Lines Crumpled s~
 Second, and more important, for the first time the Japanese army landed men in the Shanghai sector proper - in evidence that the navy lines were crumpling and that irn- mediate reinforcement was neces- sary.
 A battalion of picked infantry- men, backed by three tanks and three batteries of field artillery, landed under cover of 6 waxslfip barrage at the Japanese docks on the waterfront of Hongkew, the eastern-Papanese controlled--paSt of the International settlement. It was the first time that Japanese

Black Sea Fleet Will Aid Other Nations to Find

Paris, Sept. 4-(UP)-Soviet Rus sia will send her Black sea fleet into the Mediterranean to join in the fight against pirate" submarines that are attacking neutral com merce. 1t was reported today in dip- lomatic quarters. It was reported in addition that both Turkey and Grace had determined to join with vigor in British French plans for joint anti-submarlne warfare. This would give the British-French "pirfate hunting" fleet not only the aid of Greek and Turkish warships but the much more valuable cooper ation of naval ports and coastal inc telligence agents. Turkey particular ly was reported angry over the pres ence of submarine waters and to be prepared to aid in any way to combate the pirates"

 British and French navy experts were working on formal plans to be presented to a Mediterranean con- ference at Geneva next week, inci- dent to the league council meeting that starts September 10 and the assembly that starts September lS.
