ULTIMATUMS

DEMAND WITHDRAWAL OF CHINESE TROOPS

GENEVA PROPOSES AUTONOMOUS REGIME IN MANCHURIA

Peiping, To-day.

Three Japanese ultimatums are being prepared, and will be delivered shortly, demanding the withdrawal of Chinese troops from Jehól, ne- cording to the admission of high Japanese officials here. Chinese cam- pliance is considered most unlikely and it is now an open secret that the Japanese drive in Jehol will begin, at the latest, on February 27. The order will be well under way by the first anniversary of the puppet State of Manchukuo, on March 1.--Renter.

The famous Committee of Nineteen, died to-night, "after sealing the historic report explaining the reasons for failure to conciliate the parties in the Manchurian dispute, and laying down lines on which further efforts may proceed.

The main points of reference proposed by the Committee are that the Powers assist in negotiations, for the establishment of a new regime in Manchuria, autonomous but under Chinese sovereignty, and the eva- cuation of Japanese troops from the posts they occupied outside the railway zone in Manchuria. The League Assembly convened a meeting for February 21, to receive the report and probably will then adjourn to February 24 when the final approval is expected to be given
