ward and westward from the
Chapel-Klangwan line, and the Jap-
anese having accomplished their Im-
mediate object, their military and
naval authorities ordered the ces
sation of operations and submitted
terms for a truce pending the hold-
ing of an International conference
on the Shanghai situation.
It was apparent that the Japa-
nese were determined to win a big
victory before the meeting oi the
League of Nations assembly onThurs-
day. Having accomplished this ob-
ject, they were In better position
to make or accept peace plans. Ear-
lier In the week conversations In
Geneva and aboard the flagship of
British Admiral Sir Howard Kelly
st Shanghai bad led to hopes that
there would be an immediate cessa-
tion of fighting. But the Japanese
util I insisted on the withdrawal of
the Chinese forces before moving
their own. nnd this China refused
In Genevn the council of the league
adopted a proposal of Joseph Paul-
Boncour for a conference of all the
powers directly Interested. In Shang-
hai. and the Japanese government
accepted this plan. Sir John Simon.
British delegate, announced that the j
United States would adhere to this i
proposal. The council made the con
ference contingent upon a truce, and
the fact that the severest fighting of
the war followed Immediately served
to confuse the situation and to make
observers In Shanghai skeptical of
results.
Dispatches from Tokyo quoted
B'nr Minister Arakl as declaring:
“Even If diplomatic negotiations are
jpened, we cannot withdraw onr
forces Immediately.' It Is impossible
to do so In dealing with Chinn's un
disciplined and treacherous military
forces. We can only withdraw our
troops after witnessing ourselves
that the Chinese forces have been
withdrawn definitely to a certain
designated point We can keep onr
promise, but there is no guarantee
that the Chinese will keen theirs.”
Notwithstanding the arguments
ind pleas of certain university pres-
idents and many pacifists, the
Unlttd States government will not
sountenance a boycott of Japan,
which would be In effect a war
measure. Grent Britain is opposed
to such an economic blockade, and
therefore It was predicted that tills
drastic step would not be voted by
the league asspmhly. The smaller
nations were expected to favor the
boycott, hut it could be sidetracked
by the British.

FIRST BARRYMORE PLAYS
IMPORTANT CHARACTER
Lionel, eldest of the three famous
Barrymores, adds another splendid
characterization to a lifetime of
distinguished acting with his por-
trayal In "Broken Lullaby," Para
mount feature picture which comes
to the Rialto Theatre on Thursday
and Friday.
In this story based on the play
by Maurice Rostand, famous
French playwright and author,
Barrymore essays the role of a
middleaged German parent who,
although the war has been past
history for a decade. Is still a bit
terly nationalistic partisan.
Violent in his accusations against
the French, he inspires his entire
community, a small town in post-
war Germany, to subscribe to his
own point of view.
His neighbor. Nancy Carroll, had
been the sweetheart of Barrymore’s
son, a German Boldier who was
killed in the war. When Phillips
Holmes, the French youth who kill-
ed him. and has since suffered a
profound remorse, cornea to tell
the dead man's family of hia deed.
Nancy intercepts the errand.
