MILLS SHANGHAI, Sept. 14 0P The Japanese army splashed forward through a torrential rain Tuesday in a massed attack against Chinese second line positions northwest of Shanghai.

A Japanese spokesman reported that the strong fortifications at the Chinese civic center of Kiangwan had been occupied and the Japanese troops had pushed deep into the delta. The muddy roads were jammed with Japanese reinforcements moving up to bolster the assault against the new Chinese line. Heavy artillery and tanks slithered across country behind the advancing Japanese infantry in the flooded delta lands. More Killed New horror was added to the tragic story of undeclared war at Shanghai when the Chinese central news agency reported 400 civilian war refugees had been killed or wounded by Japanese bombs rained on the flimsy sailing boats in which they were fleeing the city. Three of the boats were said to have been sunk and six damaged.

The undefended decks of the open boats were crowded with frightened Chinese, huddled among their luggage and portable possessions. After their four-mile retirement Monday night, the Chinese forces took up their new positions extending in almost a straight northwest line from Shanghai's north station for 30 miles to the banks of the Yangtze river above Liuho. They appeared undaunted by the strategic withdrawal which their commanders explained was made to afford better co-ordination of the various Chinese units and to avoid the heavy fire of Japanese warships. The tenacious Chinese, who had fought the Japanese advance to a stand-still for almost five weeks, still had three powerful defense lines intact to the west. Japanese naval guns from the Whangpo warships hurled tons of steel at the new line which Chinese claimed was impregnable.

Japanese bluejackets in the North Szechuan road district joined In the attack, engulfing the Continued on Page Four RELIEF ALLOWANCE Budget Director Announces 2 Pet. Slash in $12,000,000 Appropriations i Reductions of 2 percent in the 1937 legislature's appropriation of annually for relief, both direct and for dependent children, were revealed Tuesday by Harold D. Smith, budget director. From an $8,000,000 annual appropriation for direct relief, $160,000 will be sheared, to leave a balance of $7,840,000 for this purpose; the $4,000,000 appropriation for de pendent children will be reduced to $3,920,000. Last fiscal year's cost for these services was $16,000,000, includ ing supplemental appropriations of the 1937 legislature, Smith reported.

Coincidentally, George F. Granger, deputy emergency relief administrator. estimated a drop of 10 percent in the coming winter's welfare case load, from last winter's peak reached in February, when 91.000 cases were carried in the state. Granger said that because of the reduced amount of state aid, local and private agencies would be unable to reduce their activities, regardless of the anticipated case load reduction. I Enrollment in System Down For Second Year Despite Increase in Population For the second straight year, enroll-; fnr tUa rihnnle rtf Lansing showed a decrease, it was announced at the meeting of the board of education Monday evening.

Despite the fact that Lansing has grown materially in the past year, there were 426 fewer pupils enrolled in the public schools at the end of the first week ot classes man at a similar penoa in 1936. "mere aDDear tO be tWO Or tnree detinue reasons for the decrease, which seems paradoxical in view of our increased population," said Dr. W. Sexton, superintendent of schools, "The condition is not peculiar to Lansing. Decreases have been recorded in enrollment of many communities.

large and small, throughout the country in the past few years. I understand that the enrollment in Flint dropped off some 800 or 900 compared to a year ago. Seen Result of Depression "A natural explanation of the smaller number of students entering school at present is the fact that the birthrate declined noticeably during the depression, and the children born during these years of adversity are now of age to enter school. Since the depression the birth rate has increased, and the enrollment should correspondingly in crease within a few more years. At the same time, national figures show fewer first grade students entered school in 1934 than in 1930.

The children starting school in that year were born in noimal times, not affected by the depression. It is a serious thing. "Many people, it is true, have kept their children out of school the first week for one reason or another. The infantile paralysis scare seems partly 1 FURTHER 1 rural electrification. However, a ses sion before the first of the year would too quick, Representative Vernon J.

O. P. ciders to draft a 1940 declaration of war on the new deal. Almost every practical politician agrees with Mr. Hamilton that it would be a futile proceeding.

The G. O. P. is so hopelessly split, personally and politically, that such powwow would only open new wounds. Messrs.

Hoover and Lan-don are not on the friendliest of terms, and the old guard doesn't like either of them. There would be a battle for control from the fall of the gavel. Though the smartest G. O. realize that they must accept and endorse some of Mr.

Roosevelt's social and economic doctrines, to do so at this time would leave the party open to the charge that it was an opportunistic copy-cat. So the wisest policy seems to be sit back and do nothing for a while. Mr. Hamilton will call a conference of the national committee in November. He will then take the party bull by the horns, and offer to resign in the interest of harmony.

But present indications are that 90 percent of the membership will ask the likable, red-headed boy from Kansas to hang on. Helpful VtARITIME CHAIRMAN KENNEDY has not completed his preliminary survey of the nation's shipping yards, but you can bet your last landlubber dollar that he will not recommend elaborate expenditures for a merchant marine, despite his presidential and congressional mandate. Mr. Kennedy is keeping secret the names of his investigators, but it has not been difficult to follow their trails and talks. They have consulted officials of every government department interested in construction of ships for trade of national defense navy, war, agriculture, commerce and they have consistently talked down (and out) those departments' maximum re- 1 quirements.

Whereas the nafy needs several hundred vessels for transport, supplies, auxiliaries, tankers, etc, Mr. Kennedy's agents Intend to recommend construction of fewer than 50. Green-Lewis labor fights on the waterfront will also be highlighted in the final report as an argument against an American merchant ma- rine. The labor troubles discourage investment of private money In new ships, as Mr. Kennedy has discovered.

So does the neutrality act, which would intern most American vessels when and if invoked. So it looks as if the United States will "stick close to the shore, boys," again pleasing 10 Downing Street. Popularity CEVERAL anti-Roosevelt senators in the court and wage s-and-hours battle have been quietly slipping into the White House since the adjournment of congress to find out how they stand with the "big boss." The anti-new dealers have discovered what almost every political observer worth his salt could have told them namely, that the President has lost caste with the professional politicos and the upper middle class, but not with the masses. From ail reports, they still I look upon him as a president who has done more fo: or to the corn-man man than any chief executive since Abraham Lincoln, whose politics and philosophy were based on the belief that God loved poor folk because he made so many of them. Congressmen from nearby slates Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania made a quick tour of their districts upon adjourn- ment.

They asked, in effect, "How Is the President doing?" They learned, to their surprise, that he still holds the popular imagination. Which explains their haste to salaam White House doors and their frigid reception. Inconsistent COME new dealers don't practice what they preach politically. Publicly they exalt and enforce Mr. Roosevelt's industrial theories, but privately they behave like the maligned "economic royalists." The national labor relations board, for instance, is charged with the enforcement of laws governing fair hours and decent wages.

It has Jugged into court scores of employers alleged to have violated federal standards. But one of the board's chief economists pays his maid only S8 a week, whereas the going wage In his section of the capital is from $10 to $12.

SIGN PACT TO BATTLE SUBS British and French Vessels On Way to Mediterranean Hunting for Prey ITALY, GERMANY ALOOF GENEVA.

Sept. 14 (IP) The envoys of nine nations signed today at placid Nyon a historic document to suppress submarine piracy In the Mediterranean with the war vessels of Great Britain and France already steaming toward what experts called the greatest naval demonstration of its kind ever planned. The accord, signed in the modest community hall of Nyon, deals solely with the question of piratical subma rine attacks in the inland sea, attacks which government Spain and Soviet Russia charge flatly to Italy. Italy, not a signatory today, denies this just as flatly. The league of nations itself will consider how to deal with other forms of Mediterranean aggression.

Fleet Assembles Great Britain and France immediately swung into action to concentrate a mighty fleet on the inland sea. Nine torpedo boats from the French Atlantic fleet with fresh cargoes of supplies, including munitions, taken on at Brest drove quickly toward their Mediterranean patrol posts. They augmented a formidable fleet of British warcraft already at Mediterranean stations. Together, the Anglo-French war vessels, comprising the backbone of the international fleet, will have 60 warships on patrol duty. The nine powers await Italy's decision on an invitation to share the responsibility in arrangements for patrolling the Tyrhennian sea, off the Italian western coast.

The accord and its vast plan for driving maritime marauders from commercial lanes becomes effective Immediately, whether Italy accepts her assignment or not. Neither Germany nor Italy, included among the 10 powers invited to Nyon by France and Britain, attended the momentous talks in the sleepy little Swiss village on Lake Geneva near here. Albania, dominated in foreign policy by Italy, also declined the invitation. The Rome and Berlin governments rebuffed the bid in the heat of tension last week over Soviet Russia's grave accusation that Italian subma- Continued on Page Four FnCEEPER SIFI Aldermen Are Determined to Learn Extent of Alleged Free Can Service The city council committee investigating alleged irregularities in the Lansing garbage department was preparing Tuesday to delve deeply Wednesday night into charges that free collection service has been furnished members of the council and employes of the garbage department in violation of a municipal ordinance. Eugene Baxter, service truck driver for the department, testified last Wednesday night that he believed members of the council were obtaining garbage collection service without cost while other Lansing residents are required by ordinance to pay $150 annually as a service charge.

Baxter also testified that employes of the department were being furnished service without cost. Two members of the investigating committee revealed Monday night that they planned to seek more detailed information at the final hearing Wednesday night as to the extent of the free services furnished by the department. They indicated that they would question witnesses as to whether other favored persons outside the city hall are being furnished service without cost.
