Five shells fell in the French settle- ment district and five in the native city. Two Chinese were killed and two American homes were damaged. Nd foreigners were injured. Lying in the Whangpoo river, the gunboat attempted to fire over the city at the arsenal which contained munitions.of Sun Chuan Fang, ruler of this province of Kiangsu with whom the Cantonese are at war. The shells fell short, owing to defective guns. The arsenal lies isolated from other habitations, and had the marks- manship been good, there probably would have been little danger to civilians. The bormbardment by the gunboat was part of a traitorous plot against Sun Chuan Fang. The gunboat turn- ed overnight from his control whenl its personnel went over bodily to the Cantnese. Two warships of Sun also were said to have turned to the Can- tonese cause, and to prevent their joining in the bombardment, the French gunboat Alert, and marines' trained their guns upon them without firing. Police Guard Concessions All volunteer and police forces oft the French concession were called to arms Then the shelling was begun and with machine guns they guardedr all entrances to the district from the adjoining native city. It as thought for the time that an effort would be made to overrun the foreign sections of the city.E The international settlement, oiher1 foreign districts of Shanghai, were not menaced by the gunfire, they being to the north of the line of fire which was directed southward. The heavy foreign naval and rail- itary forces were aroused by the sound of firing, but did not participate in the disturbance, with the exception of the two French warships which I manned their guns. Alert to protect foreign lives and property if need be, there are at Shanghai more than 25 foreign war- ships and more than 10,000 fighting men available for shore duty. These, it is believed, will be sufficient to guard the interests of the many thou- sand foreign residents living in a city of more than a million Chinese. SHANGHAI, Feb. 22.-The heavy swords of Sun Chuan Fang's soldiers, which since Saturday have struck off heads of inciters to the strike pro- moted by the Nationalist government to weaken resistance to its armed forces, was less active today. There has been a partial resumption of postal and transportation service, but approximately 100,000 strikers remain idle in general industry. Threaten British Employee The violence of the beheaders, how- ever, has aroused the opposition to threats of reprisal. In Changsha, capital of Hunan province, threats of death have been made by labor unions to all Chinese. who remain in British employ and to all who supply neces- sities to the British. In that far in- land city, controlled by the Cantonese, a coal contractor was seized for sup- plying his commodity to the British consulate. While there was no sign or anti- foreign feeling in the strike agitation in Shanghai, where heavy military and naval forces of foreign nations were on guard, increased anti-Britisn agitation was reported from up the Yangtze river. Chinese pilots were in- timidated at Ichang and the crews of American ships were threatened for carrying British passengers. Many :return To Work The proclamation by Li Tao-Ching, Chinese' defense commissioner of Mfarshal Sun's forces in Shanghai, posted in the main postoffice, that any employees not returning to work would be executed, ended all picket- ing of the postoffice, and caused many to return to work.

CLASSES TO COLLECT ANNUAL DUES TODAY} Booths Will Be Open For Collections From S Until 4 O'clock In Campus Buildings FUNDS DEFRAY EXPENSES Poincare Expresses Views On War Debt To French Chamber (By Associated Press) PARIS, Feb. 22-Equality of treat- ment of the United States and Great Britain in payments of war debts is the policy of the Poincare government as disclosed in a letter from the pre- mier to the finance committee of the chamber of deputies, given out this afternoon. Premier Poincare confirmed reports that negotiations have been going on at Washington respecting a provision- al payment on the Mellon-Berenger accord and said that he hoped that the proposition of the French governmentJ 1to make payment for 1927 on the same basis as the payments to Great Britain would be accepted. He reminded the committee that the debts in question were payable at' sight in their totality and that the arrangements made with London and proposed to Washington must conse- quently be considered favorable since i they gave Parliament time to consider carefully both settlements without abandoning the right to approve or re- ject them. It is exclusively an administrative prerogativeto decide how money available from foreign debts shall be applied, the premier declared. He pointed out that the payments already have been made to other nations un- der the same conditions as proposed to Great Britain and the United States.

Sipson Ohio State's upset of Indiana com- bined with the Wolverines' record scoring victory over Chicago last night placed Michigan in a deadlock for the leadership of the Big Ten Con- ference with the Wisconsin team which defeated -Iowa, one of the four teams which held a joint claim to second place. Michigan and Wisconsin now hold first place in joint tenancy, each hav- ing six victories and two defeats on its record. The Indiana five, which defeated Michigan Saturday night to advance into the top position, fell into a tie for fourth place with Illinois. Indiana and Illinois each have won six games, but have three defeats to mar their records. Purdue, one of the teams in the multiple tie for second place, remained just a step out of first place with a percentage of .714. Theoretically, -there are still six possible champions, if a percentage of nine games won and three lost will win the title. However, if it takes ten victories to claim the title, there are only Michigan, Wisconsin, and Purdue to be considered. Of the lead- ing teams, Michigan and Wisconsin are generally Iconsidered to have the most difficult schedules to face. The Wolverines must meet Illionis, Chi- cago, Iowa, and Purdue, while Wis- consin is faced with Indiana, Iowa, and a two game series with Illnois. Purdue is the most feared member of the Conference, meeting such teams as Minnesota, Chicago, and North- western (two games), Michigan being the only team of first rank which the Boilermakers have yet to play. Maroons Start Strong At the outset of the game, it looked as though the Wolverines were to suf- fer another defeat. The Maroons had command of the situation for the first few minutes, leading by four points, but Michigan came to the fore when McCoy and Martin sank three long throws. From that point the Wol- verines took the lead and never re- linquished it, commanding a 29 to 16 lead by the end of the first half. Play at the beginning of the second period was particularly slow, the only scoring being on free throws by Chi- cago. Harrigan broke the lull when he dribbled through the Chicago de- fense for three short shots. After the Wolverines had gained a 40 to 20 lead over the Maroons, Coach Mather made frequent substitutions,. Petrie, Truskowski, Rasnick, Schro- der and Nyland, all being given an opportunity to play. Oostrbaan was the only regular to play throughout the contest. With the score 46-25 and the crowd clamoring for a score of 50 points, Oosterbaan dropped in a "pot" shot and followed with a long toss. Chambers was fouled and given a free throw which he completed, makingthe score 51 to 25 as the gun was fired. Chambers Stars On Defense Although Captain Chambers did not figure in the scoring from the floor, he was clearly the outstanding man on the Michigan defense. Time and time again, Chicago raced down the floor with two men at the basket, only to have Chambers leap into the air and block the throw. McCoy als played an excellent game .beneath the basket. Oosterbaan was the high point man of the contest, scoring one more point than his teammate, Harrigan. Ooster- baan and Harrigan each scored seven I baskets, but the former made three free throws while Harigan was suc- rf 1 (By Associated Press) - BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 22.-s e Ohio State hit the basket from all an- y gles tonight and knocked Indiana off -its perch at the top of the Big Ten d basketball race.

Wirt r, Rowland, of Detroit, and well known people to the war. He also pointed out that a large number of Americans feel that any war is impossible due to our strong position and that they scoff at the idea of an attack from another country. In his final talk, Mr. Eddy stated his position as a pacifist. He said that he would never take part in any! war, whether right or wrong. He de- nied that he advocated the abolition of all armies and navies and said that he did believe in some sort of defense but did not favor the present system of national defense. Speaks in Afternoon Mr. Eddy added some to his talk ofj the morning in a meeting in Natural Science auditorium yesterday after- noon and gave a short summary of his views. After this a. rapid fire of questions, all regarding his opinions on war and defense were asked him. Prof. Preston Slosson of the history department, in questioning Eddy on his position concerning a national po- lice force, advocated that the nations of the world form into a league with a court having at its disposal a police force to put down unnecessary upris- ing of some nation against another. r 1 ,} r 1 . ter F ridthprcofteanl er Eastern and New England goods, E.
