The battle between Germany and Amerlen over "talkie" appara tus patent rights is to be taken up on a more extensive scale, According to a statement issued in London to-day after Mr. Justice Remer had postponed the Buit in the Chancery Division for an in- lunction to restrain the Hyde Park Cinemas, Limited, from using apparatus alleged to be an infringement of German patents and purchased in the United States.
A joint statement has been Issued by counsel for the Engl Corporation and the Klang. Film Tobis group, announcing that the prosecution of the legal battle with regard to "talkie" apparatus patents is to be pursued in all other countries where the Western Electric Company's patents are being used.
Paris is specifically mentioned as one of the places where legal proceedings will be taken, but the alleged infringed patents are also being employed in Italy, Spain and Sweden, while Australia is also wasely to be involved.

What is now engaging the atten- tion of Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang is a "revolution" at Ningslafu,, near the Kansu-Mongolia borders. The rebola have captured the Ningsfafu City and have established an in- dependent vovernment, according to the representatives of Feng in Nan- king.
The rebels are under the com- mand of Ma Chung-ying, who de clares that he is supporting the Kuomintang Party and the Nation- al Government, but Is bitterly against the alleged oppression of the "Christian General."
Fen's emissaries attributed the extensive troop movements on the Peking-Hankow Itailwry to the "Christian General's" desire to or ganise an expedition against the re hels in Kansi-Mongolia bardera.
