Calm in Shanghai

Shanghai presented its usual appearance on Wednesday and with the exception of the troops being brought back to Shanghai, from the "front," little of importance took place.

Martial law is still in force in Chinese territory.

The Chinese press gives the fol lowing arrangements arrived at between the rival generals:—1. All troops will be responsible for the peace and good order of the place which is within their jurisdiction; 2. General Ho shall do his best to stop rumour mongers spreading lies and thus causing troubles; 3. The troops whi: were recently moved shall be s-ut back to their respective stations. Troops shall be sent to places where there is local trouble only when asked for by the various Chambers of Commerce; and 4. Troops from both sides shall guard the Shanghai-Nanking Railway.
