O fvINFORCKD by the arnval of a ^ '.irge contlnsent of army tr??ops, the Japanese ke;<* up Iheir attack on Chapei. native quarter of Shanghai, and the Woosnng forts and village. Bur the Chinese defend In? forces also were strengthened and tholr resistance was sur prising to neutral ob servers. They refused to be driven from Chapel, though It w:>s a region of battered ruins; and the gar rison of the Woosnng forts held out under an almost continuous rain of shells that smashed against their blew up their ammunition stores. The apparent object of the Japanese was to silence the forts and land troops there for an advance on Shanghai from the north. But for the time this was prevented by Chinese artillery and machine gun nests and barbed wire entanglements. Vice Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura, the new commandant of the Japanese naval forces In the Shanghai area, ar rived at the scene of conflict and talked diplomatically of his Intention to "prevent further trouble and settle the matters as quickly as possible In co-operation with the representatives of other countries." Another Japanese admiral. Shlmada, explained that the failure of the Jap anese forces to occupy Chapel and Woosung was due to a desire to keep the Japanese casualties down to a minimum. Shells from the Chapel battle area frequently fell In the International set tlement. and protests of the powers were unavailing, as usaal. The Amer ican Thirty-first regiment went on duty patroling a part of Shanghai. Admiral Nomura mud walls and EVENTS ia Japan showed there was not c -n; '.ete unanimity concern ing the z ~ernmen: ? policy. Twenty fi'-e students a: the Imperial univer ? :t in Tokyo were arrested for par ? . : Ipatir.z !a a demonstration In which han . .lis were distr.buted urging the people to "stop this imperialistic w-r!"

Andre Tardleu on behalf of Frnnce pro mised thafHhe Lea sue of Nations be provided with an armed f<>rre to enforce peace on the world, and em phasized the French refusal to disarm without security as surances. For Great Britain Sir John Si mon ofTered a disarm ament plan including abolition of subma- . ... . . Hugh Gibson nnes and gas and chemical warfare, and he criticized the French proposals. The United States came next, and Ambassador Ginson made a fine speech, submitting a program summarized thus by the State department: The American government advo cates consideration of the draft con vention as containing t'^ outlines for a convenient basis for discussion, while expressing its entire willingness to give full consideration to any sup plementary proposals calculated to in voke the end we all seek. % We suggest the possibility of pro longing the existing naval agreements concluded at Washington and London, and we advocate completing the latter as soon as possible by the adherence of France and Italy. We advocate proportional reduction from the figures laid down in the Washington and London agrements on naval tonnage as soon as all parties to the Washington agreement have en tered this framework. We advocate, as we long have done, the total abolition of submarines. We wlil join in formulating the most effective measures to protect civilian population against aerial bombing. We advocate the total abolition of lethal gases and bacteriological war fare. We advocate, as I have already stated, the computation of the number of armed forces on the basis of the elective* necessary for the main tenance of internal order plus some suitable contingent for defense. The former are obviously impossible of reduction; the latter is a question of relativity. We agree in advocating special re strict ions for tanks ad heavy mobile I gun s; in other words, for thr*e arm? , of a peculiarly offensive character. We are prepared to consider a lim Station of expenditure on m**erial a* a complementary method to direct Imitation. feelir.g tha: It tray prove useful to prevent a qualitative race, if and when quantitative I:m;tatIon has been ejected. Chancellor Bruen!r.z f r Germany made a demand for "equality" in Sgh: ing forces. Dino Grar.I; told of all the war tools that Italy was prepared to scrap, and was ud!y applauded. And Ambassador Matsudaira assured the conference than J-.: an Is as eager as ever In the cause of disarmament.

They pledged the support of 20.000, 000 members of or ganizations they rep resented. Citizens willing to put "slacker dollars'* to work are urged by the treasury and Reconstruction Finance corpora tion officials to Invest In life insur ance and trust funds. Federal reserve and high administration officials also have suggested the transfer of hoard ed money to portal savings accounts and government bonds. These types of investment a-e con sidered srjfe ana certain. No money has been lost in postal savings or gov ernment bonds, and Insurance, ac ceding to one treasury official, "offers j a safe investment over a long period with attractive returns." In 1930 $107,948,278,000 was Invest ed in the United States in insurance, j None of this money, according to a careful check, has been lost.

Watch your child and at the first sign of constipation, giv? him a little California Fig Syrup. Children love Its rich, fruity taste and It quickly drives away those distressing ail ments, such as headaches, bad breath, coated tongue, biliousness, feverish cess, fretfulness, etc. It gives them a hearty appetite, regulates their stom ach and bowels and gives tone ana strength to these organs so they con tinue to act normally, of their own accord.
