CONbULATE International settlement at ten o'clock tonight and the thousands who bad been jostling each other in the streets for company were herded back - to their homes. An unaccustomed silence fell on the city and, except tor the occasional bursts of firing which have come to be regarded -as normal, there waa no aound of warfare. The artillery which was blaring last night and today over toward Chapel waa still. Nobody knew why and no body wanted to go over and find out Yank Marines on Hand American Marines and other for eign troops patrolled the settlement streets and working parties feurrled the Job of throwing up barbed wire entanglements along borders of the settlement and the boundaries of the individual foreign areas. Only the main streets were left open to traffic. Across the others were barbed wire hurdles ten feet sigh. Most people were glad enongh to stay inside. Anybody who went oat had to have a pass with his photo graph pasted on It. Occasionally the bark of a sentry could be heard, halt ing some passerby and demanding his pass. All City Barrieassd There were ssnd bag barricades and machine gun nests at hslf a hundred strategic points and the city belonged to the soldiers until fonr o'clock In the morning when the new restrictions permit civilians In the atreets. This arrangement la to continue indefi nitely. Fonr American destroyers atenmed Into the harbor during the forenoon and a fleet of alx more United Rtates wsrshlps waa reported to hare sailed from Manila. The British cruiser Ber wick, with 800 troops and one gun battery aboard, left Hongkong for Shanghai at 8 p. m. Japs Are Turned Back The French authorities mounted machine guns nt Important street In tersectlona and closed many atreets with barbed wire. Chinese newspapers said they refused to let Japnnese troops enter the French section to gnsrd Tungwen college, Japanese In stitution on the western border. A small force of Italian marines was added to the fnrcea patrolling the boundary lines of the International settlement. Negotiations by the American and Ttrttish consuls to bring about peace between the Japanese ' and Chinese broke down. There were reports that a trnce had been agreed npon but the foreign authoritlea denied them and said the peace negotiations had not changed since the close of a parley Btinnay afternoon at which no agree ment waa reached. Americans Eat Tension The arrival of the American de stroyers and the knnwledgo that addi tional International forces were on the wny, together with the lull In firing throughout the city, cased the tension in the foreign colony. Besides the six warships reported , to have sailed from Manila it was said another destroyer tender would follow soon. In addition to the British cruis er now on the wnv from Hongkong the British aircraft carrier Hermes had embarked ail her plnnea there and stood ready to proceed north at the shortest noting, while II. si. H. urn berland. now in drvdork at Hongkong, also was ordered to prepare for ser vice with all speed. The defense forces nf the Interna tional Settlement Increased their guard as much as possible. Using the forces at their command the author ities began the construction of second ary defense lines within the settle ment. A tour of the Settlement's west ern borders, where British troops. volunteer forces, T'nlted States mar tnes and a smnll force of Italian mar lne were patrolling revealed condl tlnns nuiet. In the area under the command of (lie Chinese forces everything was also found to he quiet and no large bodies of Chinese aoldlers were evi dence the Chinese, however, were re ported located further to the west. Temnorary telephone lines were he. Ing atrnne through the Chinese area beyond the settlement lines on bamboo rtoles which were hurriedly thrown tin. Japanese cotton mills, within the International Settlement and in the area patrolled by the United States marines, were barricaded todny and machine guns sppeared from their roofs. These mills have been protect ed during tbe last few days hy Jap anese marines and It was evident the grestest precautionary measurea were being taken. A hectic situation prevailed In tbe Vmslness section of the settlement. The streets were tsmmed with a'l kinds of humanitv. Thousands of Chi ness refugees, afoot or In various types of eonveyenee. rushed shout In search of safer territory, Trneks snd carts, lsden with bundles snd nerson- el belongings, scrambled for traffic clearance In the middle of a jam of antomonties and rieKsnaws. Most or the Chinese shops were closed. Fnielgn stores continued open. Chinese banks remained closed, but Chinees bankers persnsded exchange shops to accept Chinese banknotes, thna relieving tbe financial situation considerably. An Inspection of the nnngkew area showed the Japanese forces were con tinning their strict pit rots while many sections showed the resntts of hears mschlne gun fire. The fronts of some' shops were lltersllv csrved out hv the' bail of bullets and others bad their front windows crashed In. Many Hongkew stretti la tba vicinity of lb' By NEA Service SHANGHAI, the "world's newest powder keg," is the .commercial and financial capital of China's 400,000,000 people, and a city of vast importance in world trade aa well as In China's economio effalrs. Its strategic position at the baBln of the Yangtze river makes it prac tically the only outlet for foreign trade for 180,000,000 people. As a place of contrasts, it is perhaps without an equal in the world. Its population of 3,000,000 Is a strange mixture of western enterprise and Oriental squalor. It is the fifth largest port in the world, the largest in Asia, and the major link between China's teem ing millions and the western world. More than 60 per cent of all Chinese cotton mills are situated there. Workers employed by these mills number more than 125,000. Bilk cloth, shipbuilding, Iron and steel, clgarets, and many other products are turned out in vast quantities by Shanghai's manufac turing plants. Called a western city In China, Shanghai nevertheless numbers leBS than 40,000 foreign inhabitants among its three millions, and nearly half of these are Japanese. British subjects in the Inter national Settlement number more than 7500 and Americans are esti-' mated at 1800. Population of the International Settlement and the French concessions, which are governed separately, is approximately 1,500,000, and most of the city's industries are there. SNOW IS DEEP II. Cbnpet sector were closed and It was impossible to observe the situation in Chapel. zu linineao b;mouiuu Snndnv was a bloody day. There wore outbreaks of rifle fire in tbe downtown nrea of Hongkew and in the French concession witb a loss of msnv Chinese lives and fewer Japan ese. Japanese forces wore reported to nave caugu. za unincse iu iuc jaru i tbe Chinese Christian church in Hong kew and to have executed 20 of tbein. Fifty patienta, ill of Infectious dis eases, were moved out of the settle ment's isolation hospital around which fighting bad raged yesterday. They were taken to a boapital in tbe French concession. All .Tnnanese residents of other quarters of tbe city wero moved into Hongkew yesterday, wncre nicy were under the direct protection of Japan ess snllors and marines. Seventeen Japanese airplanes roared over the International Betucmenc aunng tue doy. All through the enitre lower section nf tii Ynnt-Ktsa river vallev a wave of annrehension anrcad. Keporta from vnrioua river ports bb far west aa Hnnlcnw. flRO miles away, told of fe verish preparations by the Japanese communities against possible Chinese attacks. 8cenes of the greatest confusion filled the streets of Hongkow and the Important Nanking rood when, with out warning, they were spattered with a rain of bullets from rifles and ma chine guns. A sniper's shot brought a fierce burst of flro from uniformed Jnpan esl patrols and thousands of people, panic-stricken, sought safety In a wild flight. In a few momenta squads of ateel-helmeted snllors and marines, with bayonets fixed, swarmed Into the ares, driving the Chinese before them. Many foreigners In the streets were exposed to grsve danger and the grounds of the Catholic general hoe- Sltal were awept by the rain of fire, lost of those killed in these arrays were bystanders caught by stray bul lets. This evening a shower of bullets came from somewhere near the cen tral postofflre which la on the 8oo chow creek close to tho border of the Hongkew district. Crowds were passing but no one was wounded. The pessersby rushed to cover as ten shots sounded in quirk succession. Japanese marines sur rounded the building and set up mach ine guns, but they could not locate the source of tho firing. The International authorities step ped In snd established a postofflre guard of the "While" Russian section of the settlement garrison. It was reported that .lnponese mar inea wero in the postoffi-e but the jnnrnese nuthortiea denied this. Hxcept fur these bursti, of shooting which the people of the International Se'tlement have como to regard as normal, s silence which seemed strange bad fallen upon the foreign nrea at dusk. There was no more firing from the north hut no one knew wl:v and no one cared to go and find out.

Subject to the approval of the cav- inet, the ministers of war, navy and foreign nffairs decided tonight to rec ommend sending a full army division to Shanghai, It waa understood these troops, if they were Bent, would re place the 5,000 marines now ashqro at Shanghai.

Five years sgo General Butler was in command of the marines sent to Shanghai when the armies of the north and the south were fighting for control. U. S. Troops.
