With reference to the Peking Government's admission that it at tacked the premises directly con trolled by the Soviet Embassy, the Note insists that the Government ought previously to have communi- cated with the Embassy.

It attributes the exclusion of any Embassy representative from the raided territory to be due to the fact that the Peking Govern- ment preferred the police and soldiers to commit acts of violence and plunder in the absence of offi- cial persons. It describes the Peking allegation that arms were discovered and documents found evidencing a preparation for a ria- ing as altogether implausible and wide of the truth. It thinks the allegation may explain why the premises of the military attache And the Embassy employees apart- menta were raided under such extraordinary conditions.

In consequence of the exclu sion of the possibility of the most elementary control, including the checking of things baken away, nɔ guarantee exists that anything may not figure among the things "found" which can be availed of by the hostile foreign influence: which inspired and sanctioned the act of the raid of the 6th. inst.

It was the Peking Cabinet's duty to communicate with the Soviet Embassy if it had reason to believe that Chinese citizens in its controlled territory were en- gaged in activities directed against Peking interests, and not to approach the Diplomatic Body and in agreement with the Dutch Minister Herr Oudendijk on its behalf to violate the military at- tache's extraterritorial rights.

A somi-official Japanese message from Poking states, with reference to the permits for the raid, that the members of the. Diplomatic Corps explain that, in view of the fact that 300 pistols were taken out of the Legation quarter the day before the raid, it was inevitable that per mission should be granted for the raid with a view to the maintenance

The China War.

Shanghai, April 9, 1.45 p.m. A wireless message from Chin- kiang of April 8 says that the Na- tionalist expedition up the Grand Canal has met with a 'serious re- verse at the hands of the re- organised remnants of Marshal Sun Chuan-fang's army which was sent towards the coast of the north of Kiungsu province after their de- feat in the Shanghai area.

From meagre details, it appears that Marshal Sun Chuan-fang's troops are steadily driving back the Southerners towards the Yang- taze River and are reported to have reached Yangtsechow, with their outposts as far south as the con- fluence of the Grand Canal and the
