"That China's attitude has been to completely 38 CANDIDATES GET ignore Japan may be regarded as an outspoken chal- lenge to Japan by the so-called European and American faction among Chinese officials, namely Mr. T.

"It also completely betrays the plan for Sino-Japanese co-operation, looking to China's recovery,” de-

Monday, the Cabinet approved the initial draft of an agreement looking towards the unification and stabilisation of Japanese and Manchukuoan, ear- rencies. The plan includes the withdrawal of the Bank of Japan's yen notes from Manchukuo and the ultimate circulation of only Man- chukuo currency, thus avoiding the complications resulting from use of two kinds of money.
China's nationalisation of silver is expected to retard the proposals,

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphio, Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, Noe, 5, 9 a.m.)
Rome, Nov. 4. Despatches received from the front to-day state that squadrons of war planes are bombing ahead of the Italian troops from the Danakail desert to the Sudan border, blasting a path towards Makale.
The planes have spotted an Ethiopian force estim- ated at 10,000, rapidly marching towards Makale from the south.
¿
Up to now the advancing Italians have met with no resistance and have occupied numerous villages without firing a shot.
After the capture of Makale it is expected they will remain a month in their lines to consolidate the position before launching a new drive.--United Press.
