POSITION IN SHANGHAI
TENSION RELAXED.
BURYING DEAD AT CHAPEI. (Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 10.5 a.m.) Shangai, March 11. Though the tension in the settlement is relaxing and the curfew period reduced to a volunteer status, the Japanese are still responsible for the maintenance of order in the occupied area. The Chapei authorities are refusing any assistance while the Japanese remain. The Japanese since the cessation of hostilities have been occupied in burying the Chinese dead, some merely tipping the bodies into abandoned trenches and covering them with a thin layer of earth. A Kobe message dated March. 11 states the League Commission sailed this afternoon with an entourage of ten Japanese attaches. Sir Charles Lytton stated that he had received wonderful hospitality in Tokio, but was looking forward to the Chinese version of the situation, besides viewing the things actually happening.
