The East Hopei autonomous Government was Inagurated this morning at the Confucian Temple at Tungchow.

The inauguration ceremony Included the holding of the first meeting of the Council of Nine headed by General Yin Ju Keng.

Major-General Do hära arrived here from Tientsin at poon." H's arrival is creating much nervousness and perturbation among the officials. Well-informed 'quarters declare that he ear- ries much more authority than en his last visit and swift devs- lopments are expected.

General Xin Ju Keng, Interviewed by Reuter after the inan- guration declared that no Japanese pressure was behind the movement. He said that he had telegraphed the leaders in Hopel, Shansi, Salyuan, Chabar and Shantung urging them to join in with him to form the auton unaus government of North China, but even if they falled, to, jo`n he and his associates will carry on as an autonomous, not as a separatist government.

The Japan- ese Goverment expected China to make concrete proposals thercan- ent.

The spokesman proceeded at 'great length to speak of Bipo-Ja- panese and British relations, men- tioning Britain's opinion in Febru- ary of a Chinese loan being useless and harmful, of Sir Frederick Lalth-Ross arrival, reorganisatión of Chinese banks by Dr. H. K. Kung, Mr. T. V. Boong's nationali-

Basing his remarks on Japanese prèss reports, he commented on the criticism in the press reports of Sir Frederick Leith-Ross induc- ing Chinese bankers to support the Nanking Government's financial) policies.

FURTHER SUCCESSES BY ETHIOPIANS

Native Troops Encircled By Ras Desta

Addis Ababa, Nov. 24. Although reports of the recapture of Gorahal are as yet unconfirmed by official quarters, it is asserted here that three Abyssinian troop columns operating along Fafan River made con- siderable progress during the last few days and reconquered 'a "greater part of the territory occupied by the Italans.

It is definitely stated that Babre Darre, which is about. Af-- teen miles from Gorahal, has been taken by the Abyssinians. It is therefore regarded as possible that 'the Italians evacuated the latter town, without putting up a battle.

It is furthermore reported here that the troops of Ras Desta encircled two thousand Italian native troops at Alhakre and captured the village.

According to reports from Dessle, an influenza épidemic has

· broken out among the Imperial troops stationed there. It is ex. pected that the Emperor will shortly arrive in Dessle where he will reside at the former Italian · Consulate there. — Transocean Kuo Min.
