Japanese Suspend
Military Advance
Continued From Page IL

] Stimson that fighting at Shang-
+ hal was ended and that japanese
+ troops would be withdrawn as
soon as possible.
Debuchi assured Stlmson OF
JapanS willingness to have neu-
trails participate in round table
conference to liquidate the Shang-
hal situation and arrange for fu-
ture security of the foreign set
tlement.
Yen announced the terms of the
Japanese conditions for cessation
of hostilities, as handed to the
Chinese last night through Admiral
Sir Howard Kelly of Great Britain.
The terms were:
l. China to give assurance of the
withdrawal of her troops to a GER
tain distance, to be agreed upon;
Japan to agree to cessation Of hos
tilities for certain agreed period,
pending a subsequent arrangement
for both to hold their respective
positions after the withdrawal.
2. During the armistice period,
a round table conference would be
held at Shanghai with representa-
tives of the principal powers, with
view to agreeing on means for the
withdrawal of both forces, as well
as measures for reparations, restor-
alton and maintenance of peace
and order in the vicinity of Shang-
hal, and safeguarding the lives and
property in the international Set
tlement and French concession.
3. After the Chinese troops, in
Guiding non-uniformed gunman,
have been withdrawn to a specified
distance, and the Japanese have
confirmed the withdrawal, the
Japanese will withdraw to the
Shanghai and Woosung areas.
4. In event either side infringes
the terms for cessation of hostil-
tiles, the other regains freedom of
/ action.
1T is to be observed" Yen said
that the Japanese conditions show
a radical departure from the under
standing reached aboard the Kent
They are tantamount to conditions
of surrender and are absolutely un-
acceptable.
The peace proposals of the coun-

greeting to his friends in the North

Dreaming yesterdays and you.
Dreaming of those by-gone days
When we lived, happy, side by side,
And Of the parting Of the ways

Three years!-what changes there
have been
Some dear ones gone to Shores un-

Some day, we'll join them there. I

How soon, God knows, and He alone.

I wreathe the Holly with the Bay,

Community Service
Plan Is Suggested

Development Of our cities, towns

munity will 1e the main object of
the division Of community service of

With this idea in view, activities
recommended by this division include
cleanliness campaign; establish
ment of a community center for re-
creation and self-improvement; CO.
operation with the committee on
public safety to prevent motor acci-
dents; and participation in local re-
lief work.
THE great opportunity for public
service open to every club is in fos-
terlng the establishment of COM
munity planning commissions wher-
ever practicable" Mrs. Jones said.
These commissions, made up of
civic-minded groups Of citizens, are
appointed to develop plan operative
over a period Of years, which will
provide for education, health, recrea-
ton, safety and proper transporta-
ton facilities in large cities. This
Will require a preliminary social and
economic survey Of the community
IN order to utilize the best features
OF the community set-up and elm
mate undesirable conditions"

SaWeQ-OI1 Sammy ruler, duD
lightweight whose surprising ring
victories in the past have fattened
the bankrolls of Boston's betting
gentry, meets Jimmy McLarnin,
uncrowned king of the welter-
weights, in a ten-round bout. The
Down East contingent is estimated
to have wagered $4,000 on the
mighty midget from the Hub and
they stand to collect something
like $4,000 if Fuller wins, for
McLarnin is 12-to-5 favorite.
Carroll Tops BettOrs
Big Dan Carroll, Fuller's man
ager, is said to have put up a
respectable portion of the $50 900.
Fuller's hackers contend Nc
Larnin is slipping because he lost
to Lou Brouillard last summer
and messed around for six rounds
before he could stop Grandpa
Benny Leonard. They believe
Fuller's damaging body punches
will weaken McLarnin and that
the latter, towering nearly six
inches above the Boston midget,
will find the games shortest
lightweight a difficult target.
According to the consensus of
opinion, however, McLarnin fig
ures to win on every count. One of
the best counter punches in cir
culation, he packs corking left
hook that should slow up Fuller's
ruSheS. His deadly right is always
dangerous! And he has the class.
AS for his poor showing against
Brouillard, it was not fair test
because Jimmy had been idle for
nearly a year.
McLarnin Heavier
Above all, McLarnin will have
the overwhelming advantage of
about nine pounds in the weights,
Fuller; who never has been
