Russian Planes in

SHENSI

Japanese Report Machines on Way to Nanking Tientsin, Sept. 2.

The Japanese Consulate to-day received a report from Canton that 72 Russian planes had arrived Shensi, en route to Nanking, and that 144 others were expected.

An officer back from the front said that a Japanese soldier, whose left arm was shattered and dangling, severed it and threw it on the field. He then cauterized the wound.

When he remembered his wrist-watch was on his left arm, he searched the field until he recovered it—United Press.
