BOMBING FLOUR MILLS BY
JAPANESE CAUSED MARINES
EVACUATE A BORDER LINE
(By The Associated Press)
SHANGHAI. Oct. 5, — The Jap
rnese army today claimed to have
wiped Chinese warplanes from
the air.
300 of Them Downed
The Nipponese spokesman as
serted that some three hundred
Chinese fighting aircraft had been
destroyed within the last three
months. For some time only one
plane has been observed in the
Shanghai area, and only occasion
al reports have been heard of
aerial combat elsewhere. For
eign military experts estimated
the Chinese fighting planes num
bered only two hundred at the
beginning of the war.
Have Been Balked
Observers believe that China
may have inflicted heavy blows
in the hotly contested land battle
for the Chapei north station, on
true northern fringe of the Inter
national Settlement.
The Japanese admitted they
had been balked by the stubborn
Chinese resistance.
U. S. Marines Forced Out
U. S. Marines forces, sprayed
by shrapnel, were forced to ev
acuate their defense posts along
the boundary of the Internation
al Settlement, for two hours, as
Japanese war-planes rained fif
teen bombs on China’s largest
flour mills, just across the forty
yard wide Soochow Creek.

State Department
Slow Comment
On Proposal

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, — The
U. S. State Department cautious- j
ly withheld comment on the pro
posal that the League of Nations
Advisory Committee drafting
sub-committee had invited the
United States and other signa
tories of the nine power treaty,
to consider the Sino-Japanese
conflict.
The withholding of comment
was undoubtedly caused by the
fact that President Roosevelt was
covering such a program in his
speech at Chicago.

—
America Stay Out of War;
But Not Isolated
fBv The Associated Press)
CHICAGO. Oct. 4. — President
! Roosevelt bitterly arraigned ag
gressor nations before the bar of
; world opinion, and called upon
; peace-loving countries to join in
! “a concerted effort” to restore in
I ternational tranquility
Preserve Peace
Withholding any definite pro
posal for an international con
I |
iferer.ce or invocation of peace
J pacts, the President asserted
bluntly in dedicating the outer
link of a bridge here:
"There must be positive en
deavors to preserve peace."
He said that America was de
termined to stay out of war,
jbut would not remain aloof
i from these efforts,
j Roosevelt declared:
"Peace-loving nations mast
make a concerted effort in oppo
sition to those violations of treat
ies: those ignorings of human in
stincts which today are creating
a state of international anarchy
and instability from which there
is no escape through mere Isola
tion or neutrality.”
I, Speaking of recent disorders,
| he said “without a declaration of
i
war, without a warning or just
S ideation of any kind, civilians, in~
j eluding women and children are
| being ruthlessly murdered with
I bombs from the air. In times of
jsocalled peace, ships are being
attacked without cause or notice,
i Nations are fomenting and tak
j ing sides in a civil warfare in
nations that have never done
I them harm."
Pursue Policy of Peace
He said his determination was
“to pursue his policy of peace,
-isA W adopt every practical
measure to avoid involvment in
j war".
For those who have been ad
'vacating a completion of Ameri
| cas isolation the President said:
‘There is a solidarity of inter
dependence about the modem
\ world— both technically, and
| morally.Economic and political
I upheavals in the rest of the wor
; Id. especially when such upheav
j als appeared to be spreading,
are not declining."
