Stimson, Advisors Confer This program was submitted by fie two English speaking nations in an effort to use their good offices to restore peace in the orient. Formal announcement of the move was made by the state department today following a conference amonp, Secretary Stimson and his advisors. The department's formal announcement said: "On January 20, the Chinese minister for foreign affairs in Nanking appealed to the United States, through our consul general in Nanking, to take immediate friendly measures to bring the hostilities in China to an immediate end. Janury 31, the Japanese foreign minister in Tokio requested the United States to use its good offices to induce the Chinese troops not to bring up further reinforcement and to withdraw the Chinese troops now in Shanghai to a safe distance to avoid clashes. He stated that it was not the desire of the Japanese government to send any further reinforcements or to send land troops.

On February 1. the Japanese Ambassador in Washington called upon the Secretary of State and confirmed this request made in Tokio for the good offices of this country in stopping further hostilities at Shanghai. "Accordingly, the American Ambassador at Tokio and the American consul general at Nanking have been instructed to submit to the Japanese government ing officers said between 40,000 and 50,000 were in the so-called Shanghai area, available on a few hour's notice for reinforcements. Night of Horror Fighting was particularly heavy around North Station, which was leveled by fire in the aerial raids Admiral's seaplane bombers sailed right over this hotel in which I am bringing out this story. Everybody else in Shanghai is worried, but I have the Admiral's assurance that the planes are up above without bombs and are there just to look and see, so of course I am not scared that is, Not much! to limit their targets to military objects and men.

I had hoped to send my planes up over the city today, not for bombing just to make a reconnaisance." Well, that interview occurred within the last hour, and since I left the Admiral's quarters, by golly, the sun has come up, and just few minutes ago one of the Reports Jap Promise To Halt Its Patrol of U.

pan, therefore, feels her interests the settlement are the largest. "Tho Japanese landing parties are not ornaments," the spokesman said. "When attacked, they must reply. The issue really is one of human lives." The government was said to be considering publication of a general statement outlining Japan's position in China. The Tokio stock exchange closed temporarily after a sharp slump because of the reaction in Shanghai's exchange, where market leaders were off yen 20.

Commodities likewise showed violent fluctuations downwards. Britain and the United States, Thomas said, are entirely in accord on their move and Britain decided on collaboration to the utmost with the United States to bring "the present lamentable state of affairs to an end." 2 A.

I he Japanese were repulsed by a Chinese counter-attack two days ago and were forced to take up position on the boundary of their section of the International Settlement. The renewed offensive apparently was an effort to regain lost ground and retrieve "face" at home for their initial failure to accomplish the objective. The afternoon's advance came after another night of horror climaxed by Japanese firing in the heart of the International Settlement, overriding protests of other foreign authorities in the jointly-controlled area.

Dawn broke with a burst of machine-gun fire in the Japanese section of Hongkew. They had ousted Italy Decides to Send Warships to Shanghai lUi Vnitfd Press ROME, Feb. 2.

FIRST MID-WEEK DANCE 3 GREAT BANDS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH the Chinese regular army opened up machine guns on a small detachment of our sailors guarding the dock of a warehouse of a Japanese shipping company. "Our sailors responded and repulsed the attack, and at the earn time two of our cruisers trained guns on the Lion Fort and returned the Chinese fire. The cruiser Sus-hima hurled eight six-inch shells into the Chinese fort, and the cruiser Tenyru fired two more.

"Our fire was directed at the fort and not at the town. Chinese guns were silenced after three shots and we stopped firing after ten shots. One of our sailors was seriously wounded. "Very Strange, Indeed" "My report, just received by navy wireless, does not state whether the wounded sailor was on the cruiser or among the guard on shore. "The Chinese attack on us was entirely unprovoked, We have filed a strong protest with the Chinese government." "How was the protest filed?" 1 asked.

"Very strange," Shiozawa replied, smiling again, "very strange. You see this ia not a regular war, but still it is very dangerous in Nanking, so it is not possible for our consul or diplomats to call on the Chinese government. We must find other means. "So this morning the senior officer of the cruiser Sushima was to make an official visit to the commander of the American destroyer Simpson, advise him of the full account of the night clash, and present to him an official protest by the Japanese consul with the request that he present it to the American consul ashore at Nanking, and' then ask the American consul to deliver the Japanese protest to the Chinese government in Nanking if there is any Chinese government remaining in Nanking. "Yes, it is all very strange." "Very strange, indeed," I agreed.

The Admiral continued: "It makes my position awkward here in Shanghai, where everything I have done has been in accordance with plans of defense laid out by the International Concession defense committee. "Our lines at present all are within the zone agreed upon in the original defense plans, but the danger is increasing, because the Chinese are concentrating field guns in the railroad yards opposite us and are installing strong entrenchments in the ruins of th Commercial Press building and the old railroad station." I remarked here that I was unable to understand why the Japanese fliers bombed the station in the crowded civilian quarter, when the railroad could have been cut by bombing the tracks beyond the town, accomplishing the same military object. Hard to Bomb Track Admiral Shiozawa explained as follows: "Outside the town the tracks are very narrow being only a single track. It is very difficult to drop a bomb just exactly on the track. Bombs fall on both sides of the track, but not directly on "We will do better next time.

I have given strict orders to fliers the Settlement regular police from that part of the foreign city, violating agreements under which tho foreigners reside together in the concession zones. Find Tattered U. S. Flag The firing became livelier at 5.20 a. Japanese marines spraying the streets and buildings in the vicinity of the Garden Bridge, over Soochow Creek, adjacent to the Astor House Hotel and not more than two blocks from the United States consulate-general.

Their machine-gun patrols also opened up along North Szechuen road, in the same part of the city. The Japanese said they were chasing snipers, although no'snip-ers were heard firing at the time. United States Consul-General Edwin S. Cunningham, dean of the consular corps, began an inquiry into the discovery of a tattered American flag. The flag was brought to the Hongkew police station by a Japanese patrolman.

He said he found it in Young-Allen court in the Settlement, a block from foreign mission residences. The Young-Allen property was virtually in the hands of the Japanese marines. Pending outcome of the official investigation there apparently was no reason to believe the flag had been violated. Some pointed out, however, that it might have been taken last week, when Japanese rowdies invaded the law school of the Young-Allen Missionary Grace Moore Plans Grand Opera for the Movies This season marks the fourth for Grace Moore at the Metropolitan Opera, where from her first Reason, she has enjoyed the status of prima donna soprano. Although her success in opera was instantaneous, stardom was not attained at a single bound.

There were several years of apprenticeship in musical comedy before the charmed portals of the Metropolitan were opened to her. She made her debut February 7, 1928, in the role of the pathetic Mimi in "La Her popularity in this particular role continues to this day.

The proposals were made after thirty-six hours of conferences among statesmen of four nations. Yesterday Secretary Stimson talked with Sir Ronald Lindsay, British ambassador; Ambassador Paul Claudel, of France, and Count Alberto Marchetti, counsellor of the Italian embassy.

The program is regarded as an effort to end the conflict, which now is menacing the lives and property of 5000 Americans in Shanghai and even more nationals of other countries. Although the American-British program was advanced independently of the League of Nations, it is connected with the former efforts of the Geneva body to restore peace. Point 5 provides that China and Japan shall settle their differences in the spirit of the Kellogg pact and the League of Nations proposal of December 9. Commission of Inquiry The League proporal, which Japan and China accepted with certain conditions, provided for a League commission of inquiry into conditions in Manchuria and immediate cessation of hostilities by both sides. Subsequently, the League established a commission composed of representatives of various member powers in China to investigate the Shanghai incident.

The offer or use of good offices, as understood in diplomatic circles, means a proffer by a neutral nation or nations to intercede between two antagonistic powers and provide some basis of peace. The present proposal of Britain and the' United States is described at the State Department as being advanced under this ancient diplomatic usage.

Airplane squadrons flew low overhead.

They scouted over tho Chinese lines during the encounter, but dropped no bombs. The Japanese claimed a major victory an hour before the besieged Chinese gave way before the Japanese machine gun and artillery fire. At 5.50 p. m. (4.50 a.

Eastern Standard Time), a Japanese communique said the marines had captured the Chinese first line entrenchments in Chin-Yun road. It said the Chinese were routed. The Japanese marine command, in officially claiming victory, declared the marines opened their offensive with four field guns placed on a rifle range near Hongkew Park. First Lines Are Captured Four more field pieces were thrown into action in an alleyway off North Szechuen road, near Range road, the Settlement boundary nearest the North Station in Chnpei. Thirty shells from these field guns, fired before the Japanese marines, with machine guns sputtering, charged the Chinese trenches, overwhelmed the Chinese.

Their first lines were captured early. Four Japanese bombing airplanes participated in the engagement, the communique said. They did not drop bomb3 on smouldering Chapei. Shells, however, started new fires in the war-torn native area north of the Settlement. The Japanese marines at 7 p.

(6 a. Eastern Standard Time), began converging on the North Station. Chinese troops aboard an armored train continued their stiff though losing battle. Settlement Shelled Chinese shells were falling freely in the International Settlement two hours after the battle started. Police at the Hongkew station reported they had counted ten.

Roof tops in the Settlement were crowded with inquisitive spectators watching bursts of smoke that indicated where shells hit. The barrage covered advance into the vicinity of North Station in the native district north of the International Settlement. The Chinese defense forces fought desperately. Chinese non-combatants already hysterical, were maddened with fear and the roar of artillery pieces spread new panic. The waves of marines moving forward through Chapei were aided by airplane squadrons flying low overhead.

Crowds gazed at them with more curiosity than apparent fear. New Fires Break Out At 2.50 p. m. (1.50 a. m.

Eastern Standard Time), the new fires broke out in Chapei. Shells lighted conflagrations, which rapidly licked their way through the closely-bunched native buildings not razed by earlier flames. Prior to beginning the offensive, the Japanese destroyed a wooden bridge over Kashing Creek in the Dixwell road district of Honarkew. From Page One IIroad Third and Broad Sts. And Repairing.

Thomas, of Great Britain, who said that the two powers had also asked that negotiations begin immediately to settle the conflict in the spirit of the Kellogg treaty against war.

Sudden Extra Session The council met in a sudden psctra 6esion, called by Great Britain to consider the Chinese situation. Thomas announced Britain feels it is impossible that the present state of affairs in the Far East be allowed to continue. "War in everything but name is Jit progress," he said. "The League cannot be indifferent to such a state of things. If it is allowed to continue, the nine-power pact and other agreements will lose the confidence of the world."
