SHANGHAI, Thursday, March

along the Chapei-Woosung bat

pushed the Chinese back to the
1212-mile limit set by the recent
Japanese ultimatum. Woosung

The Chinese Army at Shanghai
was in a general retreat today az
prospects for a cessation of hos

appeared somewhat slender.
The japanese described the re-
treat as rout, as they occupied
Tachang, 4 miles west of Kiang-
wan; Miaochungchen, a short dis
tance north; the north railway
station at Chapel and the city of
Liuho, 20 miles from Shanghai on

they will establish new lines and
continue the fight.
Fighting was heavy and the
japanese announced the day's
casualties as 1900 Chinese and so
Japanese. The retreat, however.
lesSened the danger to the Inter
national Settlement.
Tokio's acceptance of the terms for
an international conference to settle
the Shanghai dispute was received at

cept until hostilitieS are halted.

REPUBLICAN WET
PLANK PREDICTED
BY PARTY CHIEFS
Resubmission in Some Form
to Be Proposed, High
Sources Indicate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Prediction was made in high Repub-
lican quarters today that the G. o. p,
National Convention would adopt q
plank in the party platform declaring
for resubmission of the eighteenth
amendment in one form or another.
1t was pointed out that the petition
to bring resolution amending the Con-
stitution SO as to restore control of the
liqour traffic to the States was signed
by rs Republican members of the House.
This leaves 1873 Republicans in the
House who failed to sign.
The expectation is, however, a num-
Der of Republicans in addition to those
who signed the petition will vote on
March IA for the motion to discharge
the House Judiciary Committee and
bring the Beck-Linthicum resolution be-
fore the House.
Strength Doubtful.
Representative Beck of Pennsylvania,
Republican wet leader of the House,
gave no estimate of the final Republi-
can strength in favor of the resolution,
merely contenting himself with saying
he believed that more Republicans
would be found voting for the motion
than had signed the petition.
Estimates of the total vote which
will be cast for the motion vary from
ITS to 200 Should rs additional Re-
publican members of the House vote
for the motion, then 101 would be on
record as favoring amendment of the
eighteenth amendment and only 113
against it.
If the Republican membership of the
House is shown to be so evenly divided
on the issue of resubmisSion of the
eighteenth amendment it is reasonable
to expect that the delegates to the Re
publican National Convention, chosen
particularly in the light Of the fact that
prohibition is to be an issue in the COM
ing campaign, will number many vets
mission of the eighteenth amendment
are designated.
Adoption Predicted.
Indeed, the view was expressed today
that if resubmission plank Is brought
to the floor of the Republican Conven-
ton it will be adopted.
The Resolutions Committee of the
Republican National Convention doubt
less, it was admitted, will report out a
law enforcement plank. But it is ex-
pected that a minority report from the
committee, backed by very consider
able minority, will be offered as SUBJ
stitute on the floor of the convention.
That minority report, calling for resub-
mission of the eighteenth amendment,

Two Dual Roles

ductions ends there, for his latest ef-
fort is characterized by its poignant ro-
nance, and is said to lose none OF 1t
by its transition from the stage to
screen.
In the early sequences Of the pic
ture, Leslie Howard is Miss Shearers
successful suitor, Frederic March her
disappointed lover, mad with jealousy,
who bursts in upon her marriage to
Howard and takes her life, then fees
from England to America.
Then comes the second role OF the
picture for both Miss Shearer and
March, the young actress portraying the
niece of Howard's bride, who grows up
under Howard's guardianship and alone
stands between him and a bitter, lonely
old age. March plays the part of the
son of the disappointed lover.
The love story Of fifty years before
is re-enacted, but this time 1t is How
ard, aged and embittered, who strives
to prevent a marriage. This situation,
and what envolves out Of 1t, makes
"Smilin' Through" as heart-wrenching
as it is sweetly sentimental In its lighter
sequences.

THE Rape Of Lucrece" was pro-

Shakespeare's poem of the same title.
In 1t Miss Cornell will appear as Lu-

In addition to THE Rape Of Lu-
