Kiangsu Troopers Continue Advance In Shanghai Drive
Barbedwire Entanglements Strung Along Boundaries of International Holdings
(United Press)
Shanghai, Sept. 20, 7 p. m.-Vicente Kiansang troops, continuing the drive on Shanghai, were within eight miles of the city this evening.
The forces of Gen. Lu Yun Hsiang, attempting to hold Shanghai a aim the Cheking army, fell back wholly throughout the day but contested every inch of ground stubbornly. There was a continuous attack until the afternoon as the Kluang troops vanced under cover of a barrage.
EXPLORED The Kiangsu troops to the outskirts of the suburb of Mangiing at the hour this telegraph is filed and continue to advance. Kiangsu airplanes flew over Shanghai and captured the attacking armies by tomorrow.
Wire Entanglements Electrified
Hordes of refugees including many deserting Cheikhan soldiers poured into the city and there was indiscriminate pervasive panic 'r' mightfall came on.
AUGMENTED INTERVIEW
The guard around the international zone and the French concession was reinforced again by additional Russian ex-soldiers, who were armed from stores of the Shanghai volunteers.
No.12
Barbed wire entanglements which were thrown up on the foreign colony during the afternoon were kept inside. The skins kept playing on strategic points.
Admiral Anderson, in command of the international forces protecting the big foreign colony, ordered all troops to be fully mobilized day and night.
Foreign war ships in the harbor had steam up and were stripped for action. There are 25 foreign war ships using a number of American ships.
Foreign War Ships Preparing
Even if the lives of foreigners in Shanghai are not endangered, foreign business interests have been severely hit. Financial men and business homes find money extraordinarily tight. The steel market has been hard hit (and there have been many cancellations).
Fraternity of Beggars Not Without Chivalry
Shanghai is a most important economic center, silenced as it is in the mouth of the Yangtze river and the settlement there his base of supplies.
Buyers are refusing to accept carts goes. The rubber, lumber, wheat and flour markets suffer.
Dogs. Big dogs. Little dogs. Fat dogs and lean. A host of wistful eyed canines are hovering around the doors of Administration building these days and sniffing an entrance to each passby to be given a home.
Although they frisk about with apparent carelessness, most of their eyes belie them bravado. If you will look closely each dog has a carewren, hunted look in his brown eyes that seems to say, "Will I eat today?" A kind word or a pat from a friend leads to a devotion that is theirs.
One big collie dog, yesterday, sees a small boy attempting to cross the street, gravely escorted the child to the other side. Then, evidently considering his duty done, the dog is turned to resume his play.
Unlike most free lancers that live by their wits, this girls bratgreater fraternity is not without chivalry. A pupiny in their midst is treated with kindness. Never does the play become too tough when the student receive the same consideration.

North College Hill Considered Logical Place for Rallies
This Location Used for Pep Meetings in Past; Local History Told By Roberts
"Old north college hill was the "oldest of the first rally of the University," and Reb Roberts in discussions with the organizers for rallies. "It is a fact that when the first group of sitters from old Westport Landing stopped in this vicinity, Aug. 1, 1854 they had a picnic on the ground, it is now known as nown ash of
"Later, even before Horace Greeley passed through here, another group came and with the aid of the first group drew up the charter for the city of Lawrence, and in it included the three fundamental principles of the state of Kansas. These were that he would be a fire city, that no alcoholic liquor should be permitted, and that north college bill should be surmounted with an University. This meeting was held Sept. 20, 1854, just 70 years ago yesterday.

"Because of these facts north college bill has been used for so many rallies in the past, and it b is cause f that it is the logical place for
Plans are under way at the present time to work over the remains of the old stone building which constituted the first University of Kansas. The stone and brick which are more or less scattered over a large area are to be pile together on the exact boundary of the university to form a ge at platform or which are to be built the fires of the rallies.
Surrounding that place the grass is to be cut and the place cleaned up so that it will be a comfortable and safe area. The speakers are carried through a band stand will be built and also a platform for the various speakers and pop dispensers.
It is generally felt that there is no longer a location on the campus which can be used for great bonding, without destroying some of its beauty. Mr Roberta wishes to emphasize, however, that rallies are not to be held in front of others, but a place of substitution, rather than place it is the logical and proper place.
"North college bill was the scene if the first rally that The University ever knew, it was the scene of the game. We were all here. This institution was started, and it is only proper that we should meet there for our celebrations, to commemorate the great deeds that have been accomplished by our athletic accomplishments, our accomplishments, and the greatest of our university," said Roberts.

To Remedy Difficulty in Locating Reserve Books Next Week

"We have 12 students employed on the reserve desk, as many as any university can afford to have. They are nearly all new in the work and all are handicapped at present by the change from Spooner. There is a rush to put them up, rushes overwhelm the employed students. Eight are the most we have at work at one time, and they are busy at the rush hours only. Four or five days in the stacks account them with the books and it will be difficult for us to keep them.

Quest of Ages Ends When Man Bites Dog
For years the young and veritable newspaper man have been instructed, if a dog bites a man, it's not news—but if it does, he will be missed and now the quest of ages has ended. Newspaper men traditionally only even admit the possibility of a Santa Claus after reading the newspaper item from the Chicago Tribune.
"Thomas Lynch, 19 years of age, 48 Harveen avenue, Oak Park, bit a dog. He admitted to the police that he had been drinking mojahne and later fell in with a large mongrel which he tried to bite.
"The dog and the youth rolled on the street, both trying for a badd. Lychech hit the canine as severely that it had to be shot. During the scuffle the refuser tried to prefer charges against him. However he did have to answer the judge concerning disinterested conduct while inxicated." It now remains only for some entertaining journalist to discover the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
