Many Civilians Killed in Battle at Shanghai
Carnage in Chinese Port Shows Horror of Fighting
Bv Randall Gould, staff correspondent
By Randal Gouff, Staff correspondent,
Shanghai, March 7 — (1UP) — (Copyright,
1832) A thorny attack laid hudbled in the ruins of Shanghai as a grim reminder of the bitten attack and defense of China's great seaset.
Hordes of sightseers like bulgarians on an afternoon's outing added the crowning touch to a panorama of smokestacks, and they were fighting before men were fighting to the death. In this awful picture of carnage, they realized, possibly for the first time, the true extent of the battle and the loss of life. They were in the Khangyuan and Chapel districts.
Most of the bodies were of soldier but there were many of farmers, women, and children. Japanese soldiers in control of the area since Chinese defenders evacuated, were rapidly removing their dead.
They scrupulously avoided Chimaes bodies except in the main parts of the villages. Even more pitiful a majority of the Chimaes were bodies scarlet beyond childhood.
A cemetery temple was riddled by shell fire. A burnt body in crawling position revealed an occupant has sought the open with clothing adams Near a gilded Buddha lay the body of a woman who was born have layed upturn.
Japanese soldiers patrolled the district exploding explosives as a precautionary measure. Troopers off duty joined with civilian souvenir hunter posing for pictures while standing over bodies waving Japanese flags.
Shanghai, March 7-(UP) - Hostilities between the Japanese and Chinese on the outskirts of Shangai continued on a considerable scale today. Chinese officials reports said tonight, although all fighting was supposed to be over, with Kunshan, Huangtai, and Taishan, from 15 to 25 miles northwest of the city.
Refugees arriving here from Kiating reported the town in flames. Considerable Japanese airplane and troop movements were reported and at the same time it was understood the Chinese were massing for a counter attack.
Japanese fathers escorted their families through the ramps as though on a holiday. A number of foreignings gained access to the stairwell but were searched on leaving.

French Statesman and Peace Apostle Dies Unexpectedly
Death of Aristide Briano Former Premier and Political Leader, Shocks Paris
ACTIVE TO THE LAST
Paris, March 7 - (UP) - Aristide Briand, veteran apostle of world peace and one of the most famous surviving statesmen of the World War and post war period, died at his home at 1 p. m. today of heart disease. News of his passing at his residence, 32 Avenue du Nord, in Paris,密切了 cityfront.
Although his health had been at a critical state for months he fought off the malady with characteristic vigor and assured his friends that he would be back at work soon. His seventh week could have been three weeks from today.
Briand had been recuperating at his country home at Cochereil. He came to Paris last week apparently slightly improved. It was deemed necessary for the doctor to leave the cold weather and to be near his physician who had been giving him treatments for his heart. His condition was complicated by signs of urease.
Since his return to Paris, Briand, subterranean on re-entering public affairs, disobeyed his doctor and saw Premier Tardieu and other politicians. He so despise definite instructions that he completed a complete, rest at the risk of his life.
As soon as the news was learned at 2:50 p. m. Tardieu hastened to the Briand home. President Paul Doumer sent a representative.
Briand lost consciousness this morning and did not regain it. At his bedside when he died were Doctor Emile Emery, his physician, and his niece Madame Bibendum. He was missed by last remarks. He failed to realize his critical condition or the fact that his heart had been rapidly giving out in the last few days.
Aristide Briand was born in 1863 in Paris and graduated from the at school of Nantes, and was trusted for the profession of a lawyer, but his two main interests were journalism and medicine.
He entered politics as an advanced radical, and made himself outstanding at the very start by advocating the general strike. In 1962 he was elected mayor of Boca Raton, a unitist-Radical. His meat outstanding work there was to draft a bill separating the church and the state. This bill was used as a basis for the law of separation and in 1986 he became minister of Public Instruction and Work.
In 1903 he was made prime minister, and was expelled from the Socialist party, because his views had become too conservative. His most notable defeat was in the quelling of the great railroad attack of that time, by drafting all of the 20,000 strikers in the reserve army, and making them railroaded which they had not worked on.
On Feb. 27, 1911, the Briard ministry fell because it was charged with having shown remises in enforcing church laws, and was subsequently became prime minister, but his tenure of office was short for he resigned when a bill establishing proportional representation was defeated. He soon formed the Briandist party, which has been the main political position. He has served continuously until recently as a member of the cabinet.
