SHANGHAI, Feb. 18. (P)-Renew- ed words of peace proposals were whispered throughout councils of diplomacy here as further attempts were made to throttle the din of battle which has been going on for many days.
 The expected big offensive of the Japanese has been once again post poned as the Japanese leaders want to learn the outcome of the nego- tlations now going on between the various international diplomats at Shanghai, and they express an opinion that some kind of truce agreement should be reached. While the battle between the two forces was considerably les sened in intensity, the massing of troops by both sides again contin- ued. The Chinese had several ad- ditions of cavalry, infantry and ar tillery made to their forces. The Japanese also put on little dis play of show" when they put 9 number of their planes into the air and displayed one of the larg- est aerial forces ever seen in the war-torn sector of Shanghai
 The two British bluejacketS, H. A. Francis and H. Fryer, who were fatally wounded when a number of shells fell in the northern edge of the International Settlement, died in a hospital When the British admiralty was advised of their death there was decided Stiffen- ing of British attitude toward this latest outrage" and strong pro test was immediately drawn up to be handed to Japanese officials
 A Japanese importing and eX- porting firm, located in the heart of the International Settlement, was totally wrecked yesterday when a bomb placed on the porch ex- ploded.
 Nipponese consular agents at Shanghai are working on a plan to halt hostilities in Shanghai by increasing the size of the foreign zone and setting up a form of neu- l tral state. This neutral state would i finally result in 9 greatly enlarged International Settlement.

Chamber Pledges
Its Endorsement
To Sewer Bonds

The board of directors OF the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce,
meeting last night to discuss many
matters of interest to the commu-
nifty, voted to give unqualified and
hearty support to the sewer bond
issue proposed by the City of Ell
Centro. The necessity of this i'm
provement was pointed out by
speakers during the meeting and
Phil Knights, city engineer, gave
the directors facts concerning the
condition of the old sewer and the
actual necessity for the new out
fall
After endorsing the project, di-
rectors individually pledged them
selves to conduct a campaign among
the electors to insG.C the approval
Of the sewer bond issue at next
Mondays election.
Means of more rigidly enforcing
the anti-peddling ordinance in the
city were discussed by chamber di-
rectors for giving further protec-
ton to established local merchants
of Ell Centro and the matter of
parking on the downtown streets
also was taken up. 1t was thought
that more frequent drives against
longtime parking would bring re-
suits and that pledges on the part
of the merchants and their en-
ployees that their cars will not be
left on the downtown thorough
fares would leave more space for
the parking of the cars of shop
pers and those in the city on busi-
ness.
Mark NJ. Munson was selected to
attend the dedicatory services of
tree planting held today at the
George Washington tree, and to
give q short address to the school
children who are receiving trees
from the horticultural department
and tree planting certificates from
the tree planting committee of the
Ell Centre chamber. Hugh T. Os-
borne was chosen to represent the
chamber at a banquet to be given
by the Filipino Business Mems as
Sociation on Tuesday evening Of
next week.
The board of directors Of the
chamber adopted resolution call
ing upon the United States depart
ment of agriculture to provide pro-
lection against fire to the Santa
Rosa mountains, lying west of Sal
ton Sea. Vegetation on the slopes
of these mountains is necessary to
the proper flood protection of the
Salton Sea area. and therefore to
Imperial Valley, it was pointed out
and the brush and timber on the
mountain sides would retard floods
reaching Salton Sea III times OF
heavy rainfall.
