While C. I. O. varingloriously claims 3,700,000 members, A. F. of L. after losing 1,000,000 members to C. I. O. claims 3,600,000, or approximately as many as it had before the schism. But impartial estimates place the membership of the rival groups at about each.

Already the victim of 16 recent Japanese air raids, Nanking was last week further threatened when Admiral Kiyoshi, Commander in Chief of the Japanese Navy in China, announced a series to wipe the Chiof nese capital off the map, strongly advised foreigners and their diplomats to clear out of the city. Ambassador Although British wounded Knatchbull-Nugesseby Japanese airmen, still lay in a Shanghai hospital, Britain's Charge d' Affaires R. G. Howe decided to stick to his Nanking post. But U. S. Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson, faced with recent orders from Washington to use his own judgement about what constitutes an "unnecessary risk," moved his staff to the U. S. Gunboats 'Luzon' and 'Guam' in the Yangtze river. Said he: "I am too unhappy to speak . . This is the first time in 30 years I have been forced to leave my post. . . I cannot risk the lives of the loyal men of my staff. I am not deserting." Tense fear that death might rain at any moment gripped Nanking on the day set for the bombings: persons who had one or more Japanese parents or grandparents were shot as spies o;i tuspicion alone; drugstores sold civilians thousands of makeshift gas masks of mere gauze, until a government order directed "confiscation of all gas masks in Nanking for military purposes;" and by the time Admiral Hasegawa's "zero hour" arrived, furiously-toilin- g Chinese had built 5,000 dugout shelters capable of holding about 10 persons each. To U. S. and British pleas that Nanking be spared out of respect for international law and for the sake of defenseless civilians, Japanese officials n, I inestimable advantage a small, flexible, cohesive general f staff; while A.

Nanking was spared only from noon, the "zero hour," until next morn ing because of "weather unsuitable for bombing." Then 40 grey bombers from Shanghai buzzed toward the city at an altitude of two miles, power-dive- d and released all their explosives as Chinese guns on the hills around the capital opened and Chinese pursuit fighters took the air to tear at the bombers' flanks. Four Japanese planes crashed to the ground Soon a second wave of bombers apexplosive peared, dropping 500-lcharges that destroyed whole blocks, incendiary bombs that started many a fire. Although young, aged, ill and ignorant Chinese crowding Nanking's railway station were blown to bits and virtually cremated, the city's wretched poor were not panicky. Not a single prominent Chinese or foreigner had been hurt, no important building had been destroyed. Returning to the city, Ambassador Johnson found the U. S. Embassy intact, declared "It's just as safe here as on the river," raised stars and stripes and decided to stay ashore. When a Chinese squadron turned another fleet of 50 Japanese planes from Shanghai next afternoon, plainly revealed was the fact that Japan's airmen had failed either to break Chinese morale in the capital or to win mastery of the air over Nanking. Biggest raid of the year, destroying Nanking's $1,000,000 electric power plant putting the waterworks out of commission and hitting two Red Cross hospitals, was accomplished by 80 bombers at week's end. anti-aircra- ft b. In Hankow, 450 miles inland from Shanghai and famed as "China's Chicago," Japanese bombers let go their explosives at leisure while escorting Japanese pursuit planes came skimmassming down and machine-gunne- d es of civilians in the streets. Over Canton, the New Orleans of China, flew overwhelming waves of bombers from nearby Japanese aircraft carriers, apparently causing panic. Dispatches reported 3,000 Cantonese killed, the worst air butcheiy of the war, and thousands of Cantond ese "roaming the streets, and deranged with terror." Off Hong Kong the German streamer "Scharnhorst" rescued ten d Chinese fisher folk who said they had been clinging for five days to bits of wreckage, told how a Japanese sub wild-eye- bug-eye- " $325.00 marine had ruthlessly cannonaded and sunk eleven Chinese fishing junks out of a fleet of twelve, drowning 300 fishermen, wives and hildren.

Japan's Kwantung Army had swung furiously westward to break through into Inner Mongolia and cut Outd off China from er Mongolia whence supplies are streaming to aid Nanking.
