NANKING ACTION DEMANDED

(Special to "Tolograph")

Shanghai, July 22, The Japanese aerial bom- bardment of Chaoyong and the belief that Japan is com- templating the invasion of Jehol, a province of China Proper, has aroused strong anti-Japanese passions which had appeared to be on the

wane.

The patriotism of the Chinese public in Shanghai has been stirred by the Jeho incidents and a meet- ing of the Shanghai Federation of Chinese Citizens was held yester- day afternoon, when the Japanese were bitterly attacked, and it was decided to send representatives to Nanking to demand action by the authorities.

CANADA'S OFFER TO BRITAIN

EXTENDED TO ALL THE DOMINIONS

GENERAL APPROVAL THE IMPERIAL ECONOMIC CONFERENCE at Ottawa was formally opened with impressive cere- monial in the Parliament Building yesterday, the speeches of the heads of the delegations revealing com- mon consent to the principle of closer economic co-opera- tion.

Mr. Sean O'Kelly, the Irish Free State delegate, was no more than mildly provocative, while suggesting that the new British duties could only mean a sub- stantial change in the direction of Anglo-Irish trade.

A SIDE-KICK FROM THE TYPHOON

GALE RAGES THROUGH THE NIGHT

EMPRESS'S SHAVE

THE GALE WHICH RAGED over the Colony last night was a mere side-kick of the typhoon, which passed well to the South and is now threatening Hoihow with a very severe “blow.”

In the afternoon, it seemed that the heavy winds were dying away, but shortly after eight o'clock, the gusts began to strengthen and for several hours aften wards the gale raged, varying in violence from hour to hour.

Several fierce squalls were experienced, a wind of 67 miles an hour velocity being registered at the Royal Observatory. The barometer remained fairly steady during the whole period of the storm, which was ac- companied by heavy rains, and did not begin to rise until about three o'clock this morning.
