TOKYO PRESS WARNS DECLARATION OF WAR MAY BE NECESSARY
Shanghai, Nov. 10.
With the Japanese military now virtual masters of Shanghai, there are many indications that they are now less considerate of British, American and French wishes here.
They show no disposition to allow owners to visit their houses in the Hungjao area, although the Chinese positions are now removed many miles to the west.
A Japanese newspaper, which reflects the view of the Japanese army, indicated the way the wind is blowing by, observing that unless Chinese-sponsored anti-Japanese movements in the Settlement are suppressed, the Japanese "might be obliged to take effective measures."
The newspaper adds: "There are many defects in the present administrative system of the Settlement.-Reuter.

Cenotaph Ceremony Attracts Crowds
Armistice Day, marking the end of the World War, was observed in the Colony and throughout the Empire this morning in a simple but inspiring manner, as has been the practice in previous years.
Services were held in a number of Churches in memory of those who have fallen, but chief interest was centred upon the ceremony at the Cenotaph, where the Two Minutes' Silence was observed by His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, officials of the Govern- ment, officers of the three Services, members of the Con- Hinhsiang, Honan; Nov. 11.

ANTICIPATE JAPAN'S REFUSAL TO ALLOW BRUSSELS MEDIATION
Brussels, Nov. 10.
Important conversations took place to-day between Mr. Anthony Eden, Mr. Norman Davis and M. Yvon Delbos, representing Britain, United States and France. It is understood they were considering every hypothesis with regard to the Japanese reply so that they can submit suggestions without loss of time when Tokyo's answer is received.
There is now very little doubt, however, that the reply will be categorically negative, and the only uncertain point is whether the door will be left open for further negotiations.
Japanese quarters assert that Japan will not suspend military operations until she has achieved complete success, but Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's declaration of determination to continue the resistance shows there is no sign of weakening on the part of China-Reuter.
