HEAVY LOSSES

HONGKONG, Oct. 5.-The Japan csc army's first major offensive in nearly year appeared today to have resulted in a definite setback, with heavy losses.
 Chinese reports declared, without Japanese denials, that the columns driving on Changsha, capital of Human Province, have been thrown back and are withdrawing across the Mi River, 40 miles north of the city.
 A few days ago, the Japanese re- ported advance units in the suburbs of Changsha, port on the Slang River, about 180 miles southwest of Honkow and drove the first big Jap- anese land operation in China since the occupation of Hankow almost a year ego.
 Estimates of total forces on both sides run as high as a half million.
 Japanese spokesmen for the mili- tary said in Shanghai it is possi- ble no attempt has been made to capture Changsha, since it had no military significance.

SHIP WITH AMERICANS ABOARD TO
 BE SPELLED
Statement Is Issued from White House Late This Afternoon-Adviees
 from Berlin

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-- The White House issued a statement late this afternoon that the head of the German Navy has informed the Unit ed States that the American steamship Iroquois, carrying Americans back from Europe, will be sunk when it hears the American East Coast.
 Before handing the state ment to reporters, Stephen Early, White House secretary, said the matter was fully dis cussed at a Cabinet meeting and it was decided that all facts should be made known.
 Early asserted the informa- tion had been given to the United States Naval attache at the American Embassy in Berlin by Grand A d m ira l Raeber of the German Navy.
 The President and the lro- quois received the message last night. In the statement issued from the White House, 1t was said the German Ad- miral had advised the U. $. Naval attache "that accord ing to information on which he relied, the American ship Iroquois will be sunk when it hears the American Coast.
 "The sinking of the lro- quois," Admiral Raeder said, would be ac c o m pl s h e d through repetition of circum- stances which marked the loss of the Athenia."
 As a purely precautionary measure, the White House statement asserted, a Coast Guard vessel and several Navy ships from the Coast Patrol, will meet the Iroquois at sea and accompany her to an American port.

GERMAN U-B0AT SINKS
 SHIP, SAVES MEN AND
 PUTS ALL ASHORE SAFE

DUBLIN Oct. 5.One of the queerest stories of the war was writ ten off this coast when German submarine sank a Greek steamer rescued the crew and boldly put them safely ashore in full view of hundreds on the beach.
 It was disclosed that on Tuesday the Greek steamer Diamantis was sunk off Ireland. News of the incl dent was brought here by the crew of the 4,900-ton vessel when they were landed today at Dingle, Coun- ty Kerry, by the submarine report ed to be responsible for the Dia- mantis sinking
 The submarine was identified as the U-35 by survivors, who said their ship was torpedoed not far from the Coast of Cornwall off the Scilly Islands.
 The crew said all survivors were picked up by the submarine short ly after the submersible had sent three torpedoes crashing into the ship
 Six members of the crew were taken to the hospital with injuries suffered in the explosions.
 The submarine came up to the pier in broad daylight, put the survivors ashore, the crew of the U-boat waved to bystanders on the shore, the bystanders returned tht greetings, and the sub turned baci to sea.

TOUCH OF MUSTARD GAS AND YOU'RE \ 5IDEL|NE SOLDIER; .0NE BLISTER MAKES ANOTHER

Casualties are high but only few of the casualties are going to die and only few more will be permanently crippled. The same can't be said of bullets or jagged hunk of exploding shell. Anyway that is the contention of the gas warfare advocates.
 As a gas, mustard is just about tops. Gas masks will keep the sol diers from inhaling-but that Is only a fractional protection from mustard. That stuff soaks int o clothes, burns little blisters at the slightest contact, and makes hos pital case out of even the mildest attacks. It can't be handled m a field dressing station, in the man.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-We have come upon some data about mus tard gas that may arouse memories of World War veterans, particularly since it is pretty certain that the old burner will be used again on the French, English and Germans on the western front.
 None of the countries now at war, nor even the humane United States, has any idea of giving up mustard gas as a war weapon. In fact, United States military men, together with some of the chemical warfare experts of other countries, have been defending the stuff as one of the more humane ways of winning battles.

First Major Offensive in Year Is Failure for
 Rising Sun Flag

SHANGHAI, Oct. 5-Heavy fight ing in Human and Kiangsi provinces is reported with the apparent Jap anese withdrawal from the onslaught on the city of Changsha disclosed in conflicting communiques from Chin csc and Japanese army officials.

 Independent sources said both claims are excessive, but indicated bitter battles are in progress

 The Japanese offensive in Kiang- si Province is apparently slumped as the invaders are making no mention of it, while the Chinese report the drive is stopped dead.

CoMp0sITE SCORE
SCORE BY INNINGS

NEW YORK, oct. 5.-Giving one of the finest pitching exhibitions in World Series history, Marcelu Monte Pearson this afternoon held the Cincinnati Reds to two singles to give the New York Yankees a second straight triumph in the l93s World Series by score of 4 to b The Reds did not get hit until Lombardi singled in the eighth inning.
 For seven and one-third innings Pearson was on his way to the first no-hit game ever pitched in a World Series, but Ernie Lom- bardi stabbed a sharp liner direct ly over second base to break this streak.
 Again in Ninth
 In the ninth inning, Bill Wer- Der shot another bounder through shortstop for the Reds second safety.
 Even so, Pearson, who had no- hitter last year against the Cleve- land Indians on August 27, tied the series record held by Hert Pennock since '97.
 Tanks Break Out
 The Yankees broke out with theii batting power in the third inning this afternoon for three runs or five hits off Bucky Walters, right handler, converted from a third baseman.
 Babe Dahlgren sent tremendous drive to the left field stands fol home run in the fourth inning and this completed the scoring.
 Crowd Enthusiastic
 This early bombardment created such enthusiasm among the crowc of 59,791 with receipts of $226,O0O that the full effect of Pearson's magnificent hurting was not fully realized until long about the sixtn frame when the New York's guns were finally silenced by Walters after producing at least one hit ir every earlier inning.
 Pearson's performance was the first series shutout since Lon War neke, of the Chicago Cubs, stopped the Detroit Tigers, to 0, in the first game of the 1885 classic.
 Walters Good Performance
 Walters never gave a single pass but nine hits he gave in the early innings were offset by his control in the thunderous third. Dahlgren bounced the ground rule by his double to the left field boxes, 400 feet from the home plate. Pearson sent him to third with sacrifice and Dahlgren scored easily as Billy Myers muffed Frank Crosetti'S grounder momentarily, although Crosetti was thrown out. Ther Rolfe singled and raced home as Charley Keller lofted a tremen-

Hitler again, as many times m the past, kept Europe on the anxious seat today about his intentions to- ward continued war, while informed sources in Berlin said he left this morning for Warsaw to review a triumphal parade of Nazi troops in the fallen Polish capital.
 The German Fuehrer will address the Reichstag tomorrow at 2 am. (Juneau time) in speech possibly outlining peace terms.
 Whether a basis for ending hos tilities will be suggested or whether such terms will be acceptable to the British and French allies is conjec- tural.
 BattIefieids Quiet
 Warfare on the battlefield was at a minimum. On the western front, French communique said there have been intermittent artillery ac- tions." A German communique called the artillery fire minor and added there were scouting plane activities.
