The japanese version Of the
ultimatun differed in some re-
spectS from the Chinese.
The Japanese version stated
that in the event Of Chinese with.
drawal, Nipponese troops would
not advance, lombard, nor pur'
sue the retreating forces.
Assurances Demanded
In addition, the japanese
version called upon the Chinese
to cease all anti-Japanese activity
and provided for creation Of an
investigation commission to
ascertain whether the Chinese
have lived up to the letter Of the
ultimatum.
The japanese demanded that
Mayor WI give satisfactory
assurances that the lives and
property Of Japanese residents
would be Safeguarded and all
activities by plain clothes men
curbed.
The punch-line> came at the
end, where Japan reserved the
right to act" in the event the
demands were not accepted.
Summary Of Terms
A summary issued by Japanese
sources said the ultimatum con-
tained the following points:
l. That the Nineteenth Chi
nese Route Army cease all hos
tilities and complete its with
drawal to points 20 kilometers
(l2.4) miles, away from the In

destruction of the Woosung forts
and Fort Lion at Nanking, as re-
ported to Admiral Taylor. The
discrepancies between the two
versions puzzled foreign diplo-
mats.
The japanese served the ulti-
matum without consultation with
diplomatic representatives Of other
foreign powers here and without
notifying them.
johnson Gets Word
Nelson T. johnson, United
States minister to China, was re-
turning to the American con-
sulate late tonight from a dinner
aboard Taylor's flagship, the
Houston, when he received news
of the ultimatum by telephone
from Wellington Koo.
The clauses of the ultimatum
were at once coded and sent to
Washington.
American civilians residing in
the International Settlement ad-
jacent to Chapel and in the coun-
try along the route by which the
Japanese threaten to force the
Chinese back, will be warned to
evacuate their homes and offices
and move to safer places if there
are any within the settlement.
Chapel Fires Flare
Four thousand Yank civilians
are sleeping in Shanghai tonight
unaware of the ultimatum.
There were occasional bursts Of
artillery fire tonight and some
fires were burning in the Chapel
district and near Woosung.
"My idea is peace without
fighting"
Lieutenant General Uyeda, who
delivered the Japanese ultimatum
to the Chinese, told me this in
a special interview at his field
headquarters in a cotton mill
south of the International Set
tlement. He continued:
"My division has not made
q single offensive up to now.
/ do not seek war and I wish
to avoid blOOdShed.
'The Chinese people or ma
tiOn are not recognized as the
enemy of Japan and Japan
and the Chinese people are not
at war.
"Our enemies are all those
who disturb the peace and order
which Japan desires and de-
serves in conjunction with all
the other nations, including
America, whose aims here at
Shanghai are the peaceful pur-
suit of trade and mutual good
will.

the cloud or menace or shadow
Of such an enemy will disappear

How Does He Do It?

I stumbled into the musicians
lounging room at the Earle
Theater yesterday and found all
the horn tooters and string
savers trying to figure out how
ercedes does his musical tricks.
Freddy Clark and the boys in
his pit are mystified. They all
have different theories. Is it
key work? Does he signal with
his fingers and if so how does
Mile. Stantone catch the signals
blindfolded? Is it telepathy? Is
it done by a low-wave radio set?
In truth the musicians and the
executive force at the Earle were
so puzzled that they arranged and
enjoyed a private demonstration
yesterday. Mercedes did all of
his mystifying transferring melody
tricks with the aid of a small
piano in his dressing room. He
left the folks more puzzled than
ever.

are convinced Mercedes is a
wonder. And all because I

"He is a splendid actor, the

''MICHAEL AND NARY HITS
Tender Romance
FineIyA Acted
By Players

Michael and Mary" A. A.
Mines beautiful story Of a love
which endured through the
years, greater than any danger
which confronted it, stronger
than the weakening influence of
security, gives the National
Theater Players a dramatic gem
for the current weeks attraction
and utilizes the talents of prac-
tically the entire roster of Mr..
Brooke's excellent company, not
excepting Mr.. Brooke himself.
The play opens in the early
part of the twentieth century in
the staid solidity of the British
Museum and closes some Is
years later in a charming home
in the English manner in
Chelsea, and in the interval of
those years is the story OF
Michael and Mary, simple, poig-
nant and beautifully told.
Michael, as played by Donald
Woods, is dignified and appre-
ciative while the Mary Of Leona
Powers is gentle, wise woman.
Owen Davis makes the son like
able boy, and Ona Munson as
Romo, the young wife, acquits
herself creditably. There are
many roles of varying degrees Of
Importance and outstanding,
among them is the garrulous Mrs.
Tullivant, an outspoken landlady,
who tells all in such a delightful
manner, played by Addie Hibbard.
The P. c. Cuff. policeman given
to exploiting horrible details, is a
grand piece of work by Mr..
Brooke. Robert Bramley, in an
unsympathetic role, makes the
best of his opportunities.

Meets Her Man

"Any way you fix 'em, grille,
is just the way I want 'em."
The girl nodded If you had
stepped into the shop at this
moment you would have sworn
that this was just an ordinary
lob for Marion; the same thing
she did day in and day out.
But you would have been
wrong. AS far as she was
concerned, this was the file
that came once in a lifetime.
Marion was in love; in love
at very first sight. Her dream
prince had arrived at last!
Think you, my friends, that
the Broadway manicuristS have
no dream princes? Think you
that, because many Of them
are hard-boiled and wise to
the ways of the world, their
hearts do not bounce to the
first bleat of an honest love?
All, how mistaken you are if
that is your opinion.
can assure you they, too,
60 in big way for the
little cupid with the out
stretched bow and the poi
soned arrow. Sometimes, Of
course, their dream princes
ride about with guns in their
belts-and many of these gal
liant knights have been rudely
dispatched into eternity before
a true love could really dawn.
But the feeling is there just
the same.
And so it was with Marion.
Ever since she had arrived in
the big city from Goose Greek,
she had been waiting for that
one man to arrive. True, she
was extremely pretty and four
out of every five men had
ideas. She smiled at all of
them because she had long
since learned that the sweeter
the smile, the larger the tip.
She went out occasionally, but
none of these men had been
her dream prince. Not one
of them, in fact, has even
been as much as nightmare
duke.
So she had waited. One
year. Two years. Three years.
She nipped with her nippers
and cutied all the cuticles.
She said nothing to anyone
but always she was confident
that the door would open one
afternoon and her dream
prince would walk in. And
If he staggered in, that would
be all right, too.
At last it had happened.
THE man had sat himself IN
the chair at her table. How
did she know it was THE
man? That's too tough for me
to answer. Maybe it would
have been just as tough for
Marion. But she knew what
she knew-and can anyone
know more?
They didn't speak, these two.
1t was as if the mere touch
was enough. Rest assured,
though, that this was no ordi-
nary m anicure the dream
prince was getting. Marion's
buffer fairly flew. When each
nail was completed it was a
fit subject for the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art.
When the job was over, the
man stood up. He gave her a
$5 bill.
my name is Tom" he said
simply. Il like you. Will you
have dinner with me tonight?"
Delightful Evening
In cases such as these Marion
had stock answers. Sometimes
she said her dear mother was
i'll. Sometimes it was her baby
brother who was calling for her.
But she had never been known
to say yes right away.

away. I'D love to-"
