London, Aug. 29. Britain's recovery

Expedition Would Follow Japanese Recognition
REPLY TO COUNT UCHIDA
MILITARY CLAUSES IN JAPAN'S TREATY
REUTER'S NANKING CORRESPONDENTİ REPORTS THIS MORNING THAT WELL-INFORM- ED CHINESE NEWSPAPERS IN THE CAPITAL DECLARE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF JAPANESE RECOGNITION OF THE MANCHUKUO GOVERN- MENT, THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO ORDER A PUNITIVE EXPEDITION AGAINST MANCHUKUO.
In the meantime, Yang Yu-lin, Governor of Jehol, has been instructed to offer armed resistance to any fur- ther Japanese attempt at invasion of the province. It is believed that the arrival in Manchuria of General Muto, who has been given control over the army as well as diplomatic affairs, will mark the commencement of a general onslaught against Jehol.
#
It may be noted that General Muto is with him the draft of the treaty which Japan expect to conclude with Mr. Pu Yi before formal recognition extended.
Details of the treaty, disclosed at Changchun, re- veal that Manchukuo and Japan are to be allied for! peace and for war. In the event of an attack by a third Power, such as Russia or China, Japan and Manchukuo will combine forces in the subsequent war.

BRIDGING GAP
Quotations from authorities jand citation of cases occupied most of this morning's Billing of the Full Court's hearing of the defence case in law for the quashing of the conviction of Cheng Kwok-yau, found guilty last week of procuring the
murder of George Fung.
Mr. Eldon Potter, K. C., dealt early with the point of Lau's agen- ey and reiterated his argument of yesterday that unless this could be established beyond all doubl, the Crown case must fall.
He attacked the admission of the Zimmern and Christie evidence and declared that the Crown had made it probative of the main fact,
