SHANGHAI ARMISTICE TERMS-

[BY CABLE —PBBSS- ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.]

TOKI0; April 11. Confident that an armistice agreed ment will be reached’ to-day at Shangthai, the delegates at the conference there have agreed to a- final formula!. It is unalterable, and must be either accepted or rejected. Japan’s- acceptance has been cabled to General Shigemitsu. CHINESE REFUSAL SHANGHAI, April 11. The local Sino-Japanese peaceparleys were indefinitely postponed, this afternoon, at the request of thd Chinese delegates, who claim failure, to receive their instructions from the Government at Loyang, regarding the time limit for thie Japanese withdrawal from Shanghai - , a point which deadlocked the last session, and prevents further discussions at the moment.

It is believed that the Chinese move indicates an intention to refer the> whole settlement of outstanding questions to the League of Nations, since’, the local parleys are handicapped by intense anti-Japanese feeling.
