SIR M. LAMPSON'S PEACE REPORTS.

Loudon, Feb. 15. Sevorni questions relating to the Far Eastern situation were answered by the Foreign Secre tory, Sir Jolin Simon, In the House

of Commons.

There had, he said, been little change in the situation at Shang- hni in the last few days, except for the arrival of Japanese rein forcements.

Generally there are very few instances of violence. The chief | activity of Congress is now the Boycott. The underground agita tion continues but at present gives little cause for anxiety.

Settlement's Fears.

Shanghai, Feb. 16, 10.47 p.m.. To-day was the quietest for the past fortnight, but the lull in fight ing, far from bringing relief and confidence, is merely increasing nervous tension. The community is now awaiting the climax.

As it is considered very unlikely that Chinese troops will withdraw, it is regarded as inevitable that the Japanese, who are estimated to have landed 20,000 men, with full artillery equipment, will soon com- mence a major offensive, and it is impossible to forecast the results A Japanese bombing, plane was
