A Slight Advance,
Shanghai, Apr. 6. The prospects at the Sino-Japan- eso armistice conference took turn for the better to-day, when the military sub-committee reached a tentative agreement with regard to the points to which the Japanese forces should temporarily with-1 draw, prior to complete evacuation to the Settlement.
Members of the sub-committee, Ameri- accompanied by British, enn, French and Italian military attaches, will inspect the points in question to-morrow. and will then confirm the tentative agreement, with possible amendments.
