Shanghai, Sept. 12.

The district around Pootung was bombed to-day by Japanese planes, Their air force and artillery also attacked Chapel, and as a result numerous fres were started, several of which were in the im- mediate vicinity of the Inter- national Betdement.

Following bitter fighting, the Japanese forces were driven back after

their attempt to break through the Chinese lines in the village of Yanghang.

It is regarded as probable that the Chinese will withdraw their forces to Luhang where strong fortifications have been construct- ed between Llubang and Talchong.

From Chinese headquarters it is reported that the Japanese brought about 100 pieces of heavy artillery into action in the fight for posses- ston of Yanghang and that the village was completely destroyed.

They are flow resorting to, systematic artillery barrages and air bombardments. withholding the infantry charges. until the enemy positions are destroyed.

This change is perhaps due to the fact that the Japanese succeed- ed in landing a large consignment of artillery during the past few days.

Although the Italian press care- fully avoids any expression of opinion on the results of the Medi- terranegri Conference, the papers all point out, with evident satisfac- tion, to the fact that Italy has been invited to participate in the planned control and that Boylet Russia is excluded from it.

More than one paper interprets the communique as containing the recognition of both Spanish sides as belligerents in spite of a state- ment made earlier to the contrary.
