News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 SHANGHAI ARMY DEFEATS |LEAGUE ASSEMBLY INVADING REBEL FORCES DURING ALL-NIGHT BATTLE | WITH GUARANTEES Successful Counter At- tack Drives Back Foes of Southern Government to Rail- way Line, A Distance of Six Miles. DRIVEN FROM CITY AT BAYONET POIN' i'v The Associatad Proess. Shanghal, Bept. 6.—The Invading northern forces of Chi Shief-Yuan were repulsed on tWwo fronts—at Hwantu, 15 miles west of here, and at Liuho, 30 miles northwest of here —after an all-night battle with the Lu Yung-Hsiang forces defending Shanghai, according to announce- ment this morning from Cheklang headquarters, After repulsing the attacking northern forces at Hwangtu; Gen- eral Chang Tse-Ping, leading the de- fending forces in the Hwangtu sec- for, led a successful counter-attack, forcing the opposition troops back to withing two miies of Anting, a town 20 miles west of here, on the line of the Shanghai-Nanking rail- way. In the Hwangtu section the de- fending forces claimed an advance of six miles was made along the rallway lines, besides the capture of two companies of the Kiangsu sixth division and four high officers. Hand-to-hand fighting character- ized the night battle which was car- ried on in the Liuho streets and re- sulted in driving out the northern troops, according to a communique issued by the victorious Chekiang army.- The Chekiang announcement added that no opposition troops pere seen today between Liuho and Katinghslen, the latter point being nearer to Shanghai. A bridge on the Shanghai-Hago- how railway line, near the Lungwha arsenal, Chekiang headquarters, was blown up mysteriously during the night, cufting off communication through the line on which supplies are sent up to the fronts held hy the defensive forces. Rallroad crews were working feverishly today to restore the destroyed bridge. Lu Yung-Hsiang apnounced today that as a result of disturbances szmong coolie laborers due to con- ccription, Russlak refugees now in Shanghai district will be given work. The Chekiang military governor sald hundreds of Russians were eeeking to enlist, but this request was refused and they will be used as laborers only. There was some conjecture in the Lest Informed military circles as to here the main battle on the pres- ant front is to be fought. The active ines now extend from Woosung on the north to Hwangtu on the east, with reports from the Lungwha ar- senal, headquarters of the defending General Lu Young-Hslang that troops had been dispatched to rein- orce the army in the fleld there ogainst a contemplated swing south- ward. The success of any such move by the invading force would menace the Sunkiang-Tangchow railway now controlled by General Lu Young- Hslang. No Field Hospitals Those wounded in battle must be transported to Shanghai, there being no field hospitals at the front. The Chinese Red Cross units were re- ported as having retired from the firld. A number of wounded arrived here yesterday. Begin French Warfare Field forces of rival Chinese mili- tary governors fighting for posses- sion of Shanghai resorted to trench warfare in the general engagemont which continued at the little town of Liuho. On account of its proximity to Woosung, outer anchorage for shanghai and pivotal point in the campaign, the fighting was carried on with increasing Intensity this afternoon, according to an eys wit- ness message from the front re- celved here at 2:30 o'clock. Ar- tillery was being fired with greater frequency and the number of cas- ualties were increasing. In the morning attack the Kiang- invading forces gained a half mile. The battle was carried on without naval co-operation which may become a factor in the fighting along the Shanghai harbor and riv- erfront at any time. No Looting. Liuho, normally a town of 8000 residents, located 30 miles west of Shanghal, was a place of tenantless shops, stores and homes today. A remarkable phase of the situation, according to those familiar with Chinese warfare, was that the contents of the abandoned places remalned undisturbed although the district is filled with soldiers.

Lu Yung- Hslang, offering $60,000 to anyone who will hand over Gen. Lu to him, dead or alive. He places a similar amount at the disposal of any offi- cer of the opposing forces who shail desert and bring his entire regiment over to his side. Twenty thousand dollars will be paid for a plece of field artillery, o like amount for an airplane and $1,000 for a machine gun. Finally, two months’ pay is promised to the ordinary soldier who deserts to his side.

In a final effort to win over his enemy’s men, General Chi says to them: *I sigh for you."

Which Allows Money to Be Saved For Saniation, By The Associated Pre Geneva, Sept. 6.—Judging by the ovatlon accorded the sentiments ex- pressed by Nicholas Politis of Greece after his address in the debate on the reduction of armaments in the asembly of the league of nations to- day, the sentiment of the assembly distinctly favors a system under which compulsory arbitration will always be accompanied by effective guarantees of security. Politis, a former foreign minister of Greece, is an authority on inter- national law. When he resumed his seat after concluding his remarks Premier Herriot of Jrance and all the members of the French delega- tion warmly wrang his hand while Mineichiro Adachi, of Japan, who with Elihu oot helped frame the protocol of the present world court of justice, left the Japanese bench on the other ‘side of the auditorium and rushing up warmly felicitated Politis. Prime Minister MacDonald later called a conference of the British delegation and Premier Herriot con- voked the French group. It was an- nounced that some concrete resolu- tion, placing the entire problem of arbitration, disarmament, and secur- ity before the assembly, probably would be introduced at the after- noon session when it was likely that Mr. MacDonald and M. Herriot O.|would both speak.
