Shanghai, Oct. 29 (10.3 a.m.)

A huge, bright, new Chinese flag is proudly flying from the doomed godown where 500 Chinese soldiers are stubbornly standing, replacing the bullet-riddled emblem which had previously flown from the building.

The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce obtained the largest flag in Shanghai last night and smuggled it into the godown.

Eye-witnesses tell of how British soldiers shared their rations with the doomed Chinese, by smuggling the food secretly to the defenders who not only refuse to surrender, but decline to take refuge in the International Settlement. -United Press.
