Comparative Peace Around Settlement: Whangpoo Reopened

Shanghai, Nov. 13..

Shanghai passed its first night without gun fire for 92 days, but for the first time all non- Japanese were confined to foreign administered areas, which are encircled by the victorious Japanese army.

Meanwhile the Japanese forces are relent- lessly pushing westwards to Sungkiang with the object of turning the south flank of the new Chinese line. They are continuing to inflict heavy losses which International Red Cross officials estimate so far to be 150,000 killed and . the same number wounded.

The whole front line is at present ragged, reported to be extremely with endless columns of Chinese troops pouring westward to the new ponions. Mues behind them the ad- vance units of the Japanese army are advancing cautiously through un- familar country.

Observers are of the opinion that if the Japanese announcements of the capture of Nanziang and Anting are true, the collapse of another Chinese line of defence is almost certain. Furthermore they declare Klating to be untenable with Anting in Japanese honds.

Chinese charged the Japanese were using gas in attacks, but Japanese officials denied this, although in the nhove photograph the troops are using gas masks on their way to the Chinese lines,

Brussels, Nov. 12.

The Japanese Note is felt to have completely closed the door on any possibility of continued negotiations with the Japanese Government, except on the latter's own terms, which are such as would exclude participa- tion of the conference in the direct negotiations which Japan wishes to impose on China.

According to present plans there will be a private discussion of the Japanese Note to-morrow, and it is hoped to adopt the memorandum containing a complete exposition of the conflict. There will also be a public session of the conference to-morrow morning or afternoon at which there are likely to be important speeches made by Mr. Anthony Eden, Mr. Norman Davis, and probably the Dominions' representatives.

There is good reason to believe that after the afternoon meeting there may be an adjournment to enable delegates to consult their governments. In any case Mr. Eden has to go to London to receive the King of the Belgians and M. Paul Spaak-Reuter.
