Extension OF japanese influence
IN North China is continuing
steadily. Police are learning jap
dnese. as are shopkeepers and their
apprentices. Opening of schools is
delayed pending revision OF pri-
mary and high school terts.
BY the Associated Press.
PE1P1NG. September 3. - There
were growing indications here today
that the government OF Manchukuo
will be transferred to this ancient
capital Of China and the Emperor,
Kang Teh, be placed once again on
the dragon throne from which he was
driven as boy.
Reliable but unoff1cial japanese
sources reported the arrival OF two of
Japan's highest ranking army officers,
bearing with them Tokio's finished
plans for the establishment of a per-
manent Japanese-sponsored political
structure In conquered North China,
was expected momentarily.
No details Of the Japanese plan
have even been limited. but WELL
informed observers are generally
agreed that the annexation Of North
China to Manchukuo, with the estab-
lishment OF the seat Of government
at Peiping. Is . likely possibility.
Gen. Juichi Terauchi, former min
lister OF war, was expected to take over
the supreme command Of all japanese
forces in North China, and Maj. Gen.
Seichikita. until recently senior jap
anese military attache in China, the
direction Of the special army admins
trative units in Peiping, Tientsin and
Tungchow.
A further indication of the linking
of North China and Manchukuo was
seen in plans for complete cere-
monial reversal to the ancient Con-
fucian worship reminiscent Of Chinas s
imperial days
This return to the old ways resem-
bles the Wangtao Confucian services

Chinese machine gun nests at Poo
tung across the Whangpoo from
Shanghai, peppered the decks Of jap
anese warships which remained after
the transports had fed downstream.
BY dusk six Japanese naval vessels
had steamed upstream from Woosung
to reinforce the harried Idzumo.
The United States supply ship Gold
Star ran gantlet of shell fire to
eVacuate about 100 wives and children
of American marines. The ship sailed
for Kobe, Japan. It was the first
American refugee ship to leave since

dent Hoover Monday,
After consultation with their military
and naval authorities, the, American
and British consuls general warned
all their nationals who have already
evacuated Shanghai not to attempt
to return until the dangerous military
situation has been stabilized.
Women and children, they cautioned,
were especially not to return because
OF the ever present danger Of falling
shrapnel and mSdirected airbombs
and naval shells.
In the Pootung war zone, wholesale
looting broke out, forcing police to
behead the worst offenders. Sixty
two Chinese looters were caught with
goods valued at thousands Of dollars
Foreign warehouses were the heaviest
sufferers. their huge stocks exposed to
theft by the havoc of the continuous
Japanese shelling.
New Warning to Ships.
Several foreign steamers passed
within the free navigation waters now
occupied by the japanese fleet and
prompted new warning from Jap
anese naval authorities to all foreign
shipping Ito refrain as much as pos
sible from entering the war zone"
Native Chinese newspapers reported
that hostilities had broken out at Annoy
between Chinese troops and japanese
warships, spreading the war some 500
miles down the coast from Shanghai.
