July 31 (P Five American sailors were wounded as the crew of the United s gun- heat Palos successfully fought off an Changsha ye unists wounded as | the fire of t nd many bluejackets returned | reds who raked the | ship with guns and rifles, The reds attacked from the banks of the Siang River as the Palos was approaching the communist-ravished | city to make a survey of the ruins. Open fire with 100 rifles and 10 machine guns, the communists show- ered the Palos with bullets. Caught in close quarters and un- able to turn hack, the Palos brought her three-inch rifles and machine guns into n, firing into the at- tackers at close range Battle Rages Hour The battle raged for an hour be- fore the communists werc silenced. The attackers had taken up posi- tions behind shacks and in under- growth along the bank. Heavy fire was necessary to clear the shore. The five cailors received flesh wounds only. Although the Palos was hit-hundreds of times she was not materially damaged. Her steel armor plate turned the red bullets. Commanded by Lieut. Commander R. D. Tisdale of Baltimore, the Pa-| los, which previously had helped to evacuate forcigners from Changsha just before the reds overran the city, | | sought to approach and survey the damage. An unexpected rise in the river enabled her to get near the | city. The attackers were believed to be a part of the communist rear guard patrolling the northern border of Changsha on the lookout for possible were | bur thorities to leave immediately. Al- though Chinese officials failed to ex- plain this request. it was considered an indication they feared commun- ist incursion of that area. Many Americans Present There are hundreds of foreigners, including scores of Americans in Kuling. They have been warned pre- | viously the place is unsafe. Megger dispatches from Changsha reported no alarming developments today. All foreigners, with the ex- ception of four missionaries Wwho chose to remain in the city when it | was evacuated and for whom some concern was felt, had been.removed | to safety by American, British and | Japanese gunboats. Virtually all foreign property in and near the city lay in ruins, looted and given the torch by the invading | reds. Of government buildings only the post office and hospital remain- ed. Navy Not to Interfere Washington, July 31 (®) — Amer- jcan naval forces in China will not be augmented for the present, but should communist depredations | read the danger to American lives d property the detachments prob- ably will be speedily increased. A careful consideration of the sit- uation caused by the increased com- munist and bandit activities in the provinces of Hupeh, Hunan, Honan, led officers in charge of the Ariatic squadron to conclude | the present naval force there ade- quate. Secretary Adams concurred in their decision for the present. Meanwhile, cables to the state de partment report continued efforts| | by American diplomatic and consul- ar officers to obtain the withdrawal of Americans living in remote spots where protection is not avalable. general warning was sent out early in July by Richard P. Butrick, American consul at Hankow, and new urgings have just been ordered. Reasurrances Recelved Reassurances came that except for two men who refused to leave, all Americans were out of Chang- sha., capital of Hunan, where the communists have been seeking for- eigners to hold for ransom and have engaged in wholesale looting and burning.

The major- iity of the invaders had withdrawn to a huge camp east of the city No new fires were reported today, but numerous foreign properties to which the torch had been applied still were burning. Inspection of the city by foreigners still was impossi- ble because gunboats could not ap- | proach within five miles of Chang- sha due to the low river level Although foreign properties on the island opposite the city had been looted, the majority of them wers not burned. The reds apparently had been anxious to destroy Japanese g burned the Japan- ese club there. Loot Japanese Consulate The communists also looted and burned the Japanese consulate and the Japancse hospital on the main- land. The British Jardine Matheson. - Steamship Company's wharves were last night A slight rise in the river enabled to reach the vicinity of perties on the outskirts of the city and it was believed these would be | saved unless a receding river level forced the gunboats to withdraw again. The oil properties are valued at about $5,000,000 each. The foreign gunboats appreciably improved their positions as a result of the river rise and reached the environs of the city Barbed Wire Erected Hankow, July 31 (P)—Authorities of the Japanese concession here to- day began erecting barbed wire de- fenses along borders as a pres caution against any untoward event.
