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.

Japanese tugs towed away one of the vessels forming the Whangpoo river boom, thus re- opening the river to navigation.-Reuter.

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.
