THE SITUATION IN SHANGHAI VIS-A-VIS THE SINO-JAPANESE DISPUTE REMAINS OB- SCURE, THE STRANGE SILENCE REGARDING EVENTS SINCE MIDNIGHT NOT HAVING BEEN BROKEN UP TO 4 P.M.
It would appear safe to assume that newspaper cor- respondents in the International Settement are equally in the dark, that efforts towards the establishment of a real armistice are proceeding behind the scenes, with the problem to overcome of adjusting the Japanese de- mands and the Chinese disinclination to submit to terms which they contend are those of a conquerer.
Some slight firing by the Chinese from their new positions is stated to have occurred, but it is possible that this may have resulted from the confusion con- sequent on the rapid, developments of the last few hours.

(Our Own Correspondent). Shanghai, Mar. 4, 9 30 a.m.
Shanghai appears to be very nnxious to forget the terrors of the past few weeks and to get back to normal.
Thousands of Chinese and foreigners this morning filled the Municipal Council building seeking passes permitting them to enter North Szechuan Road, beyond Range Rond, which was a prohibited area during the fighting.
This area is being made ac cessible to all foreigners to-day and bona fide Chinese residnets of the orea between the North Szechuan and Dixwell Roads, in cluding the houses abutting on the roads on both sides, are being supplied with passes by the police.
