Shanghai, 2 p.m., Today.

Sharp Chinese counter-attacks have resulted in the recapture of most of the ground in the vici- nity of the Kiangwan Racecourse, conceded under pressure of the sudden onslaught of heavy tanks on Wednesday. At least seven tanks were disabled during reckless feats of heroism.

ENTIRE FRONT ABLAZE

Shanghai, To-day.

The entire Shanghai front, from Kiangwan to Woosung and Paoshan, is wreathed in the smoke of battle as the Japanese at some points and Chinese at others, early this morning, launched determined drives in an effort to penetrate the opposing lines.

The Chinese defence, however, is meeting the latest menace with the same determination and suc- cess as on former occasions.

Large numbers of planes on both sides are engaged in the battle, and dog fights are taking place on all sectors of the front.
