China Replies To The British Note

London, Yesterday. China's reply to the British Note on the Kellogg Part received from Nanking is brief, concillatory, and friendly, and declares that China has always literally carried out article two of the treaty, that no signatory shall employ war as a settlement of an international dis- pute, and reiterates her adhesion to the Pact.--Reuter.

SPHERES OF INFLUENCE The men of the revolution must: always be prepared for sacrifice, and not for private motives. "The National soldiers have no wish to establish spheres of influence," de- clared General Ho.

"This was demonstrated when the 3rd and 8th Divisions came to Kwangtung not long ago to part eipate in the war against the Kwangai insurgents, and on the complation of their mission, they were transferred back to Nanking

and Hankow-they are now being sent again to Canton while Gen- eral Shek Yiu-san, the Chairman of Anhwei, will also arrive with his troops within this week. Thus, it will be observed that all National troops must comply with the instructions of the Central Government to go to whatever pince they are directed."
