[Tatouan REUTER'S AGENCY.)

NANKING, February 15. AS a positive indication that diplomacy is no longer any use in dealing with Japan, China is likely to withdraw her diplo. matic representatives trem Tokyo in the event of a Japanese invasion of Jehol. Such action is generally considered invitable, although officials state that a final decision has not been reached.

drive in the effort to soit col Province for Manchukuo will begin at latest, on February 27 in order: that the operations shall be well under way on the first annivera ary of the establishment of the "State of Manchukun on March

THE Committee of Nineteen has replied to Japan's letter of February 14 regarding Mauchukuo and states that the Committee feels it dreply regrete that bound to hold that the Japanese proposals put forward on February 8 will not afford an acceptable 1. basis for conciliation.

to any fruitful result,"

The Committee adds that it is willing to examine with the great est care, until the date of the final meeting of the Assembly, any fur ther proposals that Japan will wish to make but feels sure that Japate will realise that any agere. vation of the existing situation inust render more difficult, if not indeed frustrate, the fresh effort. of conciliation.""

ENGLAND IN STRONG POSITION

VICTORY IN FOURTH TEST MATCH PRACTICALLY CERTAIN

JARDINE'S DOUR-INNINGS; BATS SIXTY- THREE MINUTES WITHOUT SCORING

(THROVOK "REUTER'I MENCY }

BRISBANE, "February 15.

WITH Dame Fortune once more swinging ber pendulum towards

the English team, the position at the end of the fifth day's play in the fourth Test match is that the Old Country's chances of winning are extremely bright so much so that nothing short of a sensational collapse will rob them of, victory.

The weather was fine and the wicket showed signs of wear when 31cCabe and Darling, the overnight not onls, resumed Aus- tralia's innings with Larwood and Hammond bowling, Eugland got going almost at once and pressing home the advantage they held, the bowlers' soon goi rid of the whole team for 175 runs. Jardine and England were thus faced with 150 run for a win.

bis merry men, however, were in no harry to get the runs and as. a result scoring was slow for a start, though things brightened up considerably towards the end. The position at the close of play was that England were 52 runs behind with eight wickets in hand.

THREE WICKETS IN ELEVEN BALLS!

Thus England are now in a very favourable position, needing but so rans for a win with 8 wickets in band.

When Love resumed his innings after lunch, he had Wall as bin. partner and off Larwood's first ball the former was given out 1.b.w. without adding to his score--169 for Two runs later Jardine, field- ing in the gully, caught Wall off Allen. O'Reilly and Ironmonger were the last men in for Australia and they gayo the impression that they were out to save their side from inglorious collapse, but alasi Larwood decreed otherwise for after only four russ had been added to the total he found O'Reilly's off stump with a ball which travelled like

Early Disaster, England's second innings was greeted by early disaster. Jardine as in the first innings opened with Sutcliffe and for a change the big- hearted Yorkshireman failed to get going. He had only scored two runs when he was caught at point by Darling off O'Reilly Previous to this, however, he gave a chance to McCabe at fine leg but the fielder failed to bring off what ap peared to be a difficult left-handed catch. One wicket down for only 5 runs did not look too promising so that Leyland, the newcomer, and his captain batted with extreme monger had one on for Wall and he and O'Reilly were bowling very accurately. After a very slow start Leyland opened out and scored a 2.4 and 9 in we over, off O'Reilly, Tea was taken with the score at 45 for 1, Jardine claiming ten and Leyland, both not out.
