PEKING, MAY 19. GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILED IN THE CITY THIS MORNING WHEN SHORTLY AFTER NINE-THIRTY ANOTHER JAPANESE AERO- PLANE APPEARED, MAKING AN EXTENSIVE SURVEY OF THE CITY AND THE SUBURBS. The visitor was fired upon from isolated points but did not drop any bombs.
Flying very low, apparently carrying out observa-^ tions of troops concentrations, the visitor was plainly visible to the thousands who watched the flight.
It is expected that the incident will revive the tension which has relaxed in the few two days with the arrival in Peking of General Huang Fu, coupled with the slowing up of the Japanese advance.
Once again the suspicion has been keenly aroused' that the Japanese intend to occupy Peking. The cap- ture of Miyun after severe fighting yesterday brought the Japanese to within forty miles of Peking and the close interest manifest in the military defences of the city are thought to be a preliminary to attack.

The hopes engendered by Herr Hitler's speech that the immediate difficulties in

Indications from Berlin are that Germany is not likely to make any concession on the key question unless she is per- mitted to re-arm.
