Jan 2s.-(UP) The Japanese landed another 1.- 900 marines in Shanghai to-day under the guns of 2a warships in the harbor. making Q force of A. 900 ready to occupy the Chinese part of the city Friday if their demands are not met in full. Just as the final" Japanese ultimatum expired at 6 ?. m.. (at am. E.S.T0 to-day, Kuramatsu Mural, Japanese consul general, an- nounced the Chinese had fully &C., cepted all the Japanese demands. He said the drastic action threatened by Japan would be sus- pended, pending proof that the Chinese would keep their promises.
 The Japanese demands included against Japanese goods, dissolution of anti-Japanese activities and anti Japanese statements in the press. and reparations and apologies for recent anti-Japanese incidents in Shanghai.
 The Japanese forces massed on the northern boundary of the in- ternational settlement, the foreign quarter already heavily guarded by American and British troops. The Japanese were in a position to move at any time against the Chin csc army defending the native city.
 The final Chinese move to save the city came at the zero hour. Mayor Wu Teh- -Chen'a secretary delivered to Mural a reply to the Japanese demands accepting them in every particular. Mural, re- spending, said the acceptance was satisfactory, but the Japanese now would have to determine whether the Chinese promises would be car ried out. If anti-Japanese activi- ties are not suspened, there will be immediate and drastic action. he said.

 Chinese troops in the chapel area north of the international settle- ment attempted to desert and join the ranks of the labor unions and the volunteer "dare to die" corps. Admiral Koichi shiosawa, Jap anese naval commander. had noti- fled the Japanese residents of Shanghai not to worry when At 6 ?. m. six guns were fired on the rifle range adjoining the Japanese , marine barracks. The firing, he said. would merely mark the ex. piratoin of the period Of the uIti- matum.
 If the Chinese do not live up to their promises, the Japanese plan at daylight tomorrow (rriday) to go into action along the boundary of the international settlement. They will move northwestward, en. yeloping Chapel, the native dis. trict just north of the settlement. Chinese forces are heavily concen. trated there. Hostilities in such . move might result in sharp fight. ing in the vicinity of the north station.
 The Chinese navy and military evinced extraordinary activity, all defense forces being in position.
