JAPANESE UNITS CONCENTRATE
ACTION THREATENS IN WEST JEHOL
LAST WARNING GIVEN TO CHARHAR GENERAL
Tokyo, Jan. 18. Reports from Mukden announce that the Japanese garrison command in Jehol City has announced that it will take appropriate measures to deal with the troops under the command of the well-known Chinese leader, General Sung Cheh-yuan, Chairman of the Charhar Provincial Government.
The Japanese command at Jehol states that General Sung has shown "an utter disregard of repeat ed-requests to withdraw his troops from the western section of Jehol Province."
It is learned that a concentration of Japanese units in Western Jehol is proceeding at the moment, and the apparent intention of the Jehol City command is to launch these troops against the Chinese forces in the province's western area.-Router.
The Central Preas, Chinese newa agency, carries a report to-day to the effect that Japan in intent upon the creation of a "buffer state" in the north-west, and with this object in view will presently approach Russia.
Recently, special reports to the Hongkong Telegraph from Peking. indicated that there was a feeling in certain quarters that Јарап- Manchukun authorities might at tempt to establish, under Chinese" Jurisdiction, a sort of buffer state beyond Jehol.
BUFFER STATE The Central Press report · from Tokyo to-day states:
Tokyo, Jun. 17. Following the acquisition of the Chinese Enstern Railway from Soviet Russia, the Japanese Gov- ernment is prepared to proceed with another task-the readjust- ment of the Manchuria-Soviet re- lations.

BUT FEW RECRUITS
London, Jan, 17. Notwithstanding the uncom- mon interest and admiration awakened by Mr. David Lloyd George's effort to solve Britain's economic problem, there is no indication of any rush of re- cruits to the veteran leader's new banner.
Liberais cordially back up his at- tempt to regain the leadership of that crambling party. The News Chronicle says it is remarkable that a statesman of Mr. Lloyd George'a authority and vigour could revitalize such n body of forward-looking plans.
Tho Manchester Guardian says the programme contains the fulfil- ment of Liberalism and is a tranala- tion of the desires or progressive Tories. It adda: "It is also as much practical sociallam as we are likely to sea in a decade."
On the other hand, the Labourite Daily Herald says this programme is essentially small and unimportant in relation to the emergency.

GERMANY WON'T BREAK PEACE
HITLER GIVES HIS PROMISE
BUT WARNS POSSIBLE AGGRESSORS
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telepháphic Messager Ordinance, 1894. Received, Jan. 18, 11.15.
London, Jan. 17. The Daily Mail's special correspondent, Mr. G. Ward Price, has sent from Munich a sensational inter- view. with Reichsfuehrer Hitler, obtained from the leader at Brown House.
In the first place, Hitler declares, "Germany, on her part, will never break peace;" but he adds: "If anyone attacks us they are apt to find they have fallen into a hornets' nest."
Later, he said: "Without compulsion we have assured France that we have no more territorial de- mands to make. At the same time we wish to assure everyone that no pressure of need or force will ever lead us to sacrific our honour and the right of equality among the nations.”
