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

also was ordered to prepare for ser

guard as much as possible. Using the
forces at their command the author

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-

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,

considerably.

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.

a rain of bullets from rifles and ma

A sniper's shot brought a fierce
burst of flro from uniformed Jnpan

panic-stricken, sought safety In a wild
