Guerilla Troops Exact Heavy Toll From Japan

SHIP CARRIES 13,000 DEAD BACK TO JAPAN

400 Killed in Surprise Attack on Sungkiang

Shanghai, Feb. 19.

With the extension of the Japanese lines, a great part of the present hostilities on the Chinese side is in the form of guerilla warfare in which continual casualties are being inflicted on the Japanese.

Authentic details are difficult to obtain, but one example, believed to be typical, may be cited. Recently guerilla troops swooped down on Sungkiang, 22 miles south-west of Shanghai, and took a Japanese garrison by surprise. They killed about 400 Japanese soldiers, whose bodies were brought to Shanghai for cremation.

Sungklang is the burial place of the American General, Fredericle Word, organiser of the army which, after his death, became known as Gordon's "ever victorious army"-a force which

This accident might have been an incident of the gravest sort. A Japanese bomber dropped a load within a few feet of the U.S.S.
