SHAN GHAI, March 10
(I.N.S.).-Forecasting a def
mite armistice in the Shang-
hal conflict, the Chinese gov
ernment today officially
agreed to enter negotiations
for a cessation of hostilities as
proposed by Japan under the
terms Of I'll March 4 resolu-
ton Of the League of Nations
Assembly.
China named two conditions
however, which she demanded be
used as a basis Of truce discus
sions:
The negotiations must be
limited to cessation of fighting
and withdrawal of the japanese
troops.
There must be no conditions
attached to the Japanese with
drawal
The Chinese statement con-
cludes that the government is con-
vinced, following Japan's over
ture, that Japan is equally ready
to negotiate and that the wav is
cleared for a conference. Chinese
opposition to discussion of the boy
colt is inferred.
Sir Miles Lampson, British min
lister, acted as intermediary for
both countries.
japanese Minister M a m or u
Shigemitsu notified Quo Taichi,
vice minister of foreign affairs for
China, through Sir Miles. that
Japan was ready to negotiate
along the lines of the League reso-
luton.
The japanese note pointed out
that the situation now was deli
cate.
Chinese in Conference
The resolution called for nego-
tiations for a complete cessation
of hostilities, simultaneous with
drawal of opposing forces, and in
auguration of a round-table con-
ference under auspices Of the
Western powers.
Chinese leaders conferred all
morning upon the Japanese pro-
posal and this afternoon an
their acceptance in a note
again transmitted through the
British minister.

N'Gi IS dead.
The baby gorilla lost his

DR.. David. E. Buckingham,
Zoo veterinarian, was with him
when he died.
The veterinarian and the Zoo

he had lapsed into unconscious

him.

from New York, and it was erected
at his cage.
The oxygen apparently greatly
benefited the young animal, and
for a week or so he seemed to be
thriving.
Last week an x-ray showed that
his lungs were filled with en-
pyemic fluid and an emergency
operation, with DR.. Charles STAN
ley ''hite officiating, was per-
formed.
So successful was the operation
that his attendants felt certain
all danger was passed. The oxy-
gen chamber was removed Sun
day.
Suffers Relapse
Late yesterday afternoon he
suffered a relapse and his left
lung. from which the deadly fluid
had been removed, collapsed.
The oxygen tank was again
placed in his cage, but N'Gi failed
to rally.
He lapSed into unconsciousness
early this morning.

Laurel'S mother was on the
porch when the girl and Bruce
Harvey returned to the club
house.
There were glints of annoy
ance in Comics eyes.
Where had Laurel been all
this age? What was she doing
with the handsome young
doctor?
He had been invited here to-
night as Comics special guest.
At the back of the older
woman's mind was the idea
that tonight she would play off
Bruce Harvey against Diaz, the
dancing instructor.
Not that she admitted THAT
to herself.
But it was frightfully annoy
ing that Laurel had grabbed
off the guest of honor.
Youth to youth" said a
still small voice within her.
But, in this age, when it was

affairs with men much younger

ly an exploded theory.
Connie was in glorious good
looks herself tonight.
Was it all to be spoilt by the
advent of Laurel?
In the pink-satin dress. the
girl looked like a drift of al
mond blossoms.
To be as young as that,
thought Connie enviously, to
have the whole of life in front
of one, years and years of
masculine, attention - time to
find the Right Man. What a
wonderful thing!
And a swift, sharp pain that
was envy, and regret, and a
fierce anger, swept through Lau-
rel's mother.
What right had Laurel to
butt in?
She would go up to DR.. Har-
