Shanghai disappeared today when
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha steam
ers Chikuba Maru, Maya Maru.
and Mikasa Maru were ordered
to prepare for the transportation
of more troops from Japan.
Between 3,000 and 4,000 in
fantrymen landed today, but the
worst, it seems, is yet to come.
The much-vaunted Chinese
claims of determined aerial re
sistance to hte Japanese attack
simmered down early this morn
ing Into the official revelation
that two Chinese airplanes flew
fiver the Japanese lines at 2 p. m.
* ' Chinese Planes Unarmed
They carried no bombs, how- j
ever, and an airplane without i
bombs In this neck of the woods,
■where dozens of Japanese sea
planes are zooming a', ut loaded
to the gills with them is about
as useless as a flintlock pistol.
The United States troop ship
Chaumont docked at 6 o’clock
last night < Friday) on the north
shore of the Whangpoo River,
bringing 1,000 men of the Thirty
first Infantry and 100 Marines (
from Manila.
The American transport warped
alongside the Chinese merchants’
docks under the guns of a Japa
nese destroyer moored in mid
stream.
The khaki clad Yanks, on the
decks and superstructure, wear
ing the old felt campaign hats,
their upturned faces tanned by
the tropical Philippine sun,
watched heavy Japanese bombing
seaplanes with their bomb racks
loaded with death-edaling mis
siles sail high above the Chau
mont on the way to drop bombs i
on the city.
Jap Infantry Arrive
Moored at the dock astern of
the Chaumont’s berth was a I
squat, dark gray Japanese troop- I
ship, which arrived this morning i
with several thousand Nippon I
bluejacket reinforcements straight I
from Japan.
The ship unloaded tons of
equipment and supplies, as well |
as large cannon and three inch I
field pieces.

The Yanks, pressing against
the rails of the Chaumont on
crowded decks, shivered in their
overcoats, unaccustomed to the
severe cold after the Philippine
heat.
To their ears came sounds of
bursting shells and exploding
bombs in the Chinese city, where i
the battle fury was increasing,
not a mile away.
French, Italian, British, and
Portuguese officers mingled on
the dock with waiting United
States Marine and Navy officers
in a medley of international
uniforms, while up and down the
crowded river liners, freighters,
ferryboats, coal barges. Chinese
junks, and sampans pushed and
crowded.
“Where From Here?”
This was the scene on a cold
misty late afternoon when the,
Yanks of the Thirty-first Regiment’
i looked longingly ashore and
asked.
“Where do we go from here?”
But the eager doughboys, all
rigged out in full equipment and
heavy marching order, pressing
against the Claumont’s side rails,
are due for a disappointment. 1
