The Toxic Military
Machine Is Still Held
Up By the Chinese

Shanghai, Sept "a Especial to
CNA)-The Sino-Japanesc war
entered its fourth month this week
with the battle lines around Shan
ghal and IN North China practically
unchanged. Despita Japan's teehni-
cal superiority. her only poeitive
successes thus far have boen the
capture Of Nankow Pass and the
city Of Ralgan In North China.
About Shanghai, the invaders
have managed TO secure only a
precarious foothoA In tho face Of
stubborn and heroic resistance By
tho Chinese defenders to the com
bined might Of the japanese army
navy and air forces. Several times
in the past fortnight, the Japanese
lines In Shanghai we're broken at
various points by fierce Chinese
counter attacks, greatly endanger-
ing the invaders.
Battles developing about Peiping
and Tientsin have still not pro-
dueced decisive results, despite 200
Japanese planes, armored "a and
tank attachments and strong coon
centrations Of artillery. In that
the Chinese forces were consider
ably stiffened this week by the
advance from the interior of the
former Chinese Red Army, now
China's new Eighth Route Army.
Veteran Of hundreds of battles dur
ing the years that the Marking
government unsnccessfully tried to
exterminate the Chinese Soviet dis
triets, these soldiers constitute a
major problem for the invaders.
So great is their prestige throu-
ghout China, that news of their
advance to battle the japanese has
electrified Shanghai. The moral
effect Of their support of the Nan
king government will be tremen-
dous, in the opinion of observers
here.
In joining with their comrades
to resist Japanese ~aggressions, the
Eighth Army was able TO effect
the release of $4,000 Mohammedan
troops that Marking had sent
against them before the nation was
united by the undeclared war of
the Japanese. These forces likewise
will be sent against the invaders.
The fighting in Shanghai reached
world war proportions this week
as the Japanese unleashed every
thing they had against the Chinese
defenders. At the end of the fourth
day of Japan's major offensive, the
Chinese lines had been bent back
a little but were unbroken.
