He said hat they are dug in deep and that inc continued battering of the Jap .enese has had little effect on the Chinese.
 While the guns were roaring at Shanghai, the League of Nations Council once more attempted to and warfare through arbitration. The Council, sitting in session in Geneva, addressed a strongly word I'd note to the Japanese govern -nent at Tokyo reminding her of her obligations under the League If Nations covenants and demand -ng that hostuities be ceased. In The opinion of observers this is the strongest note sent to the Japan ese government by the League Council. Details of the note were not made public but it is expected hat the public will soon learn about it.
 More information made available is to the text of the League of Ma ions published note to Japan says fhe League appealed ito the su- Dreme sense of honor of Japan" n asking that they cease hostilities. The note was given to the Japanese delegation for transmission to their government
 The note further said that the League earnestly hoped that Japan would admit her obligations to jus rify the confidence reposed on her by the world powers"
