It is believed that the Sinsiang meeting will have an important bearing upon the situation and may certainly precipitate hostilities against Nanking.
Marshals Feng Yu-hsiang and Yen Hsi-shan returned to their re- spective Headquarters at Cheng- chow and Taiyuanfu quietly after the conference late last night.
Naval Attack.
Considerable uneasiness is exist- ing in Tientsin where the populace is perturbed over the news that the Nationalist Navy will shortly at- tack Tengku and Tientsin. The rumours are having a serious effect upon the Shansi troops in Shan- tung. Confirmation of the plan for a naval attack is hard to ob tain, as movements of the Nanking cruisers are not known at present. Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, was

The Very Idea! POWELL'S
The Grand Old Man of the medical profession, Dr. John Dixon, who is in his 98th year, is still fond of a good cigar says a Home paper. He is the oldest inhabitant of Bermondsey, S.E., where he has lived for 75 years.
He has never had an illness, and he attributes this and his con- tinued enjoyment of Ilving to the fact that he has been "moderate in all things.". At his home in Jamaica Road he told a reporter: Don't have fads. They were never any good to anybody. Fads kill people. Live sensibly; take a glass of wine-or, better still, a glass of beer-when you feel you would like one.
Smoke if you want to. Even at'] my age I have sometimes smoked as many as eight cigars a day, but generally I get through about four.

Mr. Henry Ainley, the actor, told the British Drama League in London how he once mistook the great actress Madame Duse for a theatre cleaner.
"I was a kind of call-boy at the Lyceum," he said, "and I left a chair for Duse at one of the entrances. When I went to see if it was all right I found it occupied by a person whom I thought to be one of the cleaners.
"I said to her, 'Hi! get out, that is for Madame Duse.'
"The person stood up and said,
I am Duse!" "
