WOUNDED ULSTERS FROM DEATH

Doctors are fighting to save the lives of Riflemen Jack McGuire, Strabane, County Tyrone, and Robert Delaney, Belfast, two of the Royal Ulsters who were wounded by shell-fire yesterday afternoon when on duty at an International Settlement advance post. men were alive at 4 a.m. to-day.
Both
One of the soldiers underwent a critical operation at 3 a.m., but medical men would not disclose what it was.
These two wounded are in the International Recreation Club, Bubbling Well Road, which has been converted into a British military hospital.
Shanghai, it is believed, is entering into. the most dangerous phase of the hostilities, with fighting surging is around the Settlement's western boundary which
manned by British troops. They are in constant danger.
There is a serious threat of a Japanese landing in Pootung in an endeavour to envelop the Chinese troops entrenched there. They also seek to surround Nantao, it is believed. The entry of Nantao may not only involve the destruction of valuable British properties, wharves and warehouses, but 'would render the Bund unsafe.
Similarly, the western district ighting, which is causing Chinese and foreigners in that area to move into the heart of the Settlement, threatens the destruction of numerous private homes of hundreds of Britons and Americans.
Shell have already pierced the walls of two British houses In this district. The inmates had already evacuated.
