INVADERS CONSOLIDATE THEIR GAINS San Francisco Press Broadcast. SHANGHAI, Feb. 25. The Chinese to-day warned foreign shipping away from the Japanese military lines on the Whangpoo, a step that was taken as a notification that they were determined to stop with guns the Japanese effort to land two divisions of army reinforcements. All foreign Consuls were asked by the Chinese authorities to get their nationals out of all sections of Shanghai close to the Hong Kew strongholds without delay.
