Therefore this government would welcome an agrecment between the contesting Chinese foraes o place Shanghai, the chief foreign and trac ing center .enti. ly outside the fight- ing zone. nch action, it believe might obviate the necessity of land- ing foreign troops or evacuating for- cigners.

The other, attributed to former Premic Wang and another Cantonese agent, proposes that the internal government of Shanghai re- main as it bwt that the conserv- ative Commander n withdraw all of his troops to a point 25 miles from the city where the Cantonese can attack without menacing the foreign- ors. .- = “asw’for Horlic The ORIGINAL y \ Maited Milk \ Milk and Diet FarInfants, Invalids, * The Aged For all membars of the family, children or adults, ailing or well.
