Shanghai, November" 17. An unceasing stream of Japan- ese reinforcements is pouring into the Shanghai area where the Japanese are now estimated to have more

In conclusion, the spokesman said that the Chinese Government is doing everything in its power to care for its wounded soldiers and is speriding a considerable amount jof money on the work." In the meantime, the Government. he said, appreciates the help given from humanitarian motives by the Red Cross and other private or ganizations.
