THE SHELLS ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN INTENDED FOR THE IZUMO WHICH WAS 300 YARDS AWAY. THE JAPANESE CLAMI THEY ARE NOW MASTERS OF THE SKY ETSTATE AND WILL BE MOST SURPRISED IF ANY CHINESE PLANES AGAIN APPEAR IN THE SHANGHAI AREA.

With reinforcements arriving the Japanese state that they notonly will be able to hold their present positions but can drive back the Chinese troops and secure complete mastery of the situation. The number of troops is not ascertainable but "it & believed that two divisions are leaving for sea from Japan and more are being held in readiness if required. -
