AUTONOMISTS IN TUNGCHOW
CITY OCCUPIED

HEAVY CENSORSHIP ON ALL NEWS
TIENTSIN TAX BUREAU SEIZED BY REBELS
Tokyo, Nov. 25.
The Shanghai correspondent of the Nippon Dempo reports that newspapers there are not mentioning Ying Ju-keng's pro- clunution of the establishment of an autonomous anti-Com- munist Committee, which amounts "virtually to an tonomous Government" for twenty-six counties in the de- militarised zone,
au-
The correspondent also states that a heavy censorship has been imposed on all outgoing press despatches from China and Shanghal.
Prominent Chinese officials in Shanghai, and Nanking are frequently meeting in secret, presumably to discuss the latest developments.
Tokyo is puzzled regarding the rapidity with which the North China developments took place. The latest informu- tion received here is that General Shang Cheng's army has departed for Tungchow, while General Sung Che-yunn's autonomy forces have entered the city without opposition.
A heavily armed guard accompanied the Italian Consul, Captain Raphaci di Lora, on a trek from Gondar, to Gallabat on the Sudan frontier. He was given safe conduct by Emperor's direct command. Leader of cacurt, Kenjozmatch Zekala, was responsible with his head for his charge's safety.

General Sung Che-yuan will soon announce his support of General Yin Ju-keng, after which he will virtually take over control of the country.
Despatches do not explain the reason for establishing an autonomous committee at Tungchow, wherefor some are of the opinion that it may be come the centre of the au- tonomous movément,
Sung Che-yuan's action in departing without lighting may probably be explained at the formal meeting this even- ing-United Press.

ITALIAN FORCES LOSE GROUND
ABYSSINIAN BANDS BEHIND LINES
INVADERS HARASSED ON
EVERY FRONT-
Sensational reverses are apparently being suffered by the Italian forces on both the southern and northern fronte in Ethiopia.
In strange contrast to the almost jubilant tenor of Italian official reports since the campaign commenced is the silence that has descended on Italian-inspired sources of information while, on the other hand, the correspondents with the Ethiopian forces have taken up the pacans of triumph.
Correspondents on all fronts tell the same story. From - the northern front United Press reports that the Italians, driven almost frantic by guerilla hordes which have invaded their rear, have lost 4,700 troops, killed by guerillas during the past fortnight.
In the south the Ethiopians are reported to have severely defcated a force of 2,000 Italians who fled leaving hundreds dead, and a considerable quantity of tanks, cannon and ammuni tion.
