Nations Told They Would Have All Peace-Time Needs

arations for War

GENEVA, Sept. 7. (UP)-The
raw materials committee of the
League of Nations, rejecting the
contention of Germany, Italy and
Japan that they need colonies for
basic industrial products, told
them bluntly last night that they
could buy all the raw materials
they need if they stopped their
feverish armament race.
The three Fascist powers were
not named but their identification
was unmistakable.
The committee embodied it's
declaration in a report summarize
ing a year Of intense investigation
of what many say is the chief
problem underlying world unrest.
1t warned the three powers that
only by halting arms expenditures
and reducing their trade barriers
could they hope to overcome their

Forty-eight states today report

Airplane crashes accounted for
nearly dozen fatalities. Two

SHANGHAI, Sept. 7. (UP)-
The devastated and corpse-strewn
battle-ground north of Shanghai
was pulverized by hundreds of
bursting naval shells and aerial
bombs today to prepare the way
for an infantry advance on the
stubborn Chinese defense lines
which are resisting to the death.
The area around Kiangwan, five

Both sides admitted casualties
running into the thousands.
At 2 a. m. today the whole

Japanese destroyers and troop
transports off the village of Hsiao-

banks of the Yangtse.
The japanese were attempting
to land reinforcements at the
Liuho to aid their column in the
Lotien sector, which is attempting
to reach the Nanziang railway
station 10 miles west Of Shanghai
and cut one of the Chinese COM
munications lines.
The Chinese claimed their
bombs hit two Japanese ships
which were ablaze. =.
Chinese Commander General
Chang rShih- Chung said there was
bitter hand-to- hand fighting a mile
from Paoshan at midnight. He
had no confirmation of reports
the Chinese had recaptured the
city. These reports were that a
Chinese dare-to-die detachment,
concealed in cellars when the
Japanese took Paosan yesterday,
emerged during darkness and
moved down the small Japanese
garrison unit with machine guns.
Chinese soldiers disguised as
refugee peasants filtered through
the Japanese lines during the
night and shot down officers on
Japanese warships bombarding the
Chinese lines from their anchor
ages in the Whangpoo river.
Capt. Ono, chief engineer Off
GERS of the japanese flagship Id
zumo and Commander Nakamura,
senior staff officer of the Third
Battle Fleet, both were shot while
the Idzumo was anchored off Ju-
kong wharf bombarding the Chi
nese lines in the western part of
the Yangtsepoo area of the Inter-
national Settlement.
The fighting around Shanghai
continued the bitterest and most
spectacular of the war. Observers
believed that the result of the bat
tie which has ragged in the city
since Aug. IL may be the turning
point in the entire conflict.

calm, polite voice. but I am going

siderable trouble. I fear my end is

Mrs Marconi was at Viareggio
where she was vacationing. Notified
by telephone, she STARTED at once
for Rome by automobile, arriving al
am. The servant also summoned
Marconi's Sriends, scientific COL
laborators, and a doctor. He dice
soon after the physician arrived.
But before he warned his valet
Marconi dictated a personal essage
to the only child of his second mar
riage, 7-year-old Elettra, who was
with her mother. and whose birth
day is today. He had two daughters
and a son by his first marriage
the eldest of whom. Giulio, is in
New York.
The precise cause Of Marconi's
death was diagnosed by DR.. Cesare

moments, as heart paralysis. The
scientists mind was clear and lucid
to the last. He received abSolution

OF the city told that the battle
continued there, in the Brunette
Quijorna- -Villanueve de la Canada
salient. It started Saturday.
This morning the Nationalists at
tackled on the south front, along
the Toledo road at a point called
Kilometre No. 6, 34 miles beyond
the southern suburbs. Their objec-
tive was to knock out Loyalist shock
cattalions who cut their communi-
cations there early in the often
sive.
Troops Bombed
Government airplanes went out
along the roads to the south, bomb
ing Nationalist troops fastening to
the front afoot and in trucks.
AS they did SO, Nationalist scout
planes appeared over Madrid, and
the bark of anti-aircraft guns add
ed TO the din.
Northwest of the city, National
ist planes using incendiary bombs
set fire to ripe rice and wheat
which had not been harvested be-
cause of the long battle.
For the moment the ferocious
battle northwest of the capital
slackened. Three days under almost
continuous fire, day and night,
blasted by airplane bombs, the
picked troops of the contendins
armies were exhausted.
That the battle was the biggest
of the war there remained no doubt
1t was estimated here that 100000
men were concentrated on a 30
mile front northwest, west and
south Of the capital.
Loyalist sources asserted that the
Nationalist counter attacks had
failed to penetrate the Loyalist
lines and permit recapture of posi-
tons taken in the offensive which
Gen. Jose Miaja, Loyalist COM
mander in chief, had planned so
long in his determination to free
the capital from siege Loyalists
seemed confident that their lines
would hold. If they did it meant
the breaking of the siege and the
most damaging blow the Nation
alists had suffered in the civD
