A despatch from Windsor says:â€"â€"â€"i What local Immigration officials tie-V Iieve to be the beginning of a large influx of Canadians from the United States is seen in the monthly figures issued by the department for August, which show that last month 852 per- sons entered Canada at the Port of Windsor. Of that number 410 werel Canadians returning home after years. of sojourning in the United Statesl There were 386 persons refused nd~‘ mission. I At Walkerville out of 56 persons admitted 45 were Canadians returning from various parts of the United States, the majority of them, however, being from Detroit. There were 134 rejections. The general trade outlook across the line is believed responsiblc for the swinging back of so many of those who left their own land for Work in MAJOR FIGHTING NEAR SHANGHAI COAST All Sectors Engage in Civil Warfareâ€"4Wild Firing Rea- son for Few Casualties. Shanghai, Sept. 7,â€"Engagements were reported to-day in all sectors, including Changhing, in Chekiang pro- vince, about 100 miles southwest of Shanghai and Huchachen, in Kiangsu province, on the west shore of Taihu ‘Lake, 75 miles west of Shanghai. But, 183/20 the major struggle centred on the small town of Lieuho, on the seacoast barely 30 miles northwest of Shanghai. $6 to $650; baby beeves- 537-50 ‘0 510: Late night reports confirmed the outbreak ‘of fighting Sunday at Tsing- pu, east of Taihu Lake, where the ob- jective of the Kiangsu troops is Sum- kiang, a city only about 20 miles south- west of Shanghai. Late reports from the Hwangtu sector, northwest of Shanghai, indicated that the Chekiang advance had reached Liutuchiao. An eyewitness returning to-night from Lieuho reported that the Cheâ€" kiang troops wene withstanding all at- tacks, though the Kiansu line had been advanced about a mile just south of Lieuho. The deserted town was under heavy shell fire and continuous ma- chine gun and rifle fire of both sides. General Ho Fang-Ling, Defence Com- missioner of Shanghai under Lu YunguHusien, the Governor of Cheki- ang, spent the day in this sector per- sonally directing the Chekiang army. The wounded there numbered per- haps 200. The number of casualties continues out of proportion to the tre- mendous amount of firing. The eye- witness related the haphazard method. of the front lines, saying that the sol- diers were discharging rifles and even field pieces utterly regardless of aim- ing. often simply pointing.r them at the sky. .â€"â€".â€"o Canada’s Fruit Finds Market in England and Germany A dcspntcli from London says:â€" Hon.

A dcspatch from Shanghai says:â€" Although only one of the three armies of General Lu Yung Hshian, Tuchun of Chekiang, who is fighting to retain control of Shanghai against the as- saults of General Che Shieh-Yuan of Kiangsu was engaged in the battle which continued throughout Thursday, the Chekiang headquarters assert it was able to more than hold its own. Despite the fact that its line from the Shanghaiâ€"Nanking Railway to the Yangtse River was lightly held, the Chekiang leader reported their army held their positions in the centre and made some progress in the Hwangtu sector, on the railway and in the vicinity of Liuho on the river. Both sides are said to be rushing up reinforcements. Men and women in the affected area are being con- scripted, éausing a further influx of refugees into Shanghai, the Chinese quarter of which is already crowded ,port of Shanghai. The third army, some 8,000 strong, is stationed in ‘Hang Chow and Ningpo in Northern Chekiang. Though troops estimated to number [40,000 battled throughout the day, competent eye-witnesses declared that neither side had made any matetial gain in the fighting. The battlefront extended from the' line of the Shanghai Nanking Railway to the Yangtse River, about 18 miles from Shanghai at its nearest point and about 25 miles at the most distant. ' There was no evidence that the 'Kiangsu had any co-operation from naval forces on the Yangtse River. In- dications were that the Chekiang troops would be able to hold that sec- tor unless the attacking forces were heavily reinforced. At several points the opposing fight? ers were hidden from each other by fields of growing grain through which the rifle and machineâ€"gun bullets cut their way. Eye-witnesses said that undoubtedly the fighters were wasting large amounts of ammunition in the characteristic manner of Chinese troops firing wildly.
