ONUS ON CHAMBER Dr. Colijn declared its formation did not conflict with the Constitu- tion, and anyhow it was justified by the difficult financial situation.
He considered any other forma- tion would have been impossible, and added he was prepared to re- sign if the Chamber should formu- late a clear statement showing its willingness to provide a working majority on which another Cabinet could be based.
It was after Dr. Colijn's speech that the opposition motion was adopted.-Router.

According to &
message from Macao, more Japanese gunboats have arrived off Wangmoon. Central News.
HONAN OFFENSIVE
Loyang, To-day,
Grim fighting around Mingkiang, north of Sinyang in Honan, con-
tinues unabated.
During the first fortnight of the present month, 34 rifles, 2 shot- guns, 10 pistols and a quantity of ammunition were voluntarily sur- rendered by villagers.
During the same period, troops captured nearly 200 rifles and 40 pistols, 16 shotguns and large quantities of ammunition.
No rebel leaders of any import- ance are now in Palestine and the few armed gangs which still re- main have little local backing and are often resisted by the villagers whom they pillage.
But, as membership of these gangs is becoming more and more restricted to wanted criminals, who dare not return to their own vil- lages, there is some increase in highway robbery and petty banditry.
"NATIONAL” ASPECT
The "national" aspect of the re- bel movement is now declining, the system of --rebel-courts--has broken down, and village and land disputes are once more being set- tled by the proper authorities.
Innumerable blood feuds caused by the recent disturbances present. difficulties in the establishment of order, but the civil authorities are beginning once more to arrange amicable settlements successfully.
