M. Andre Boixo, a prominent French resident of Mukden, and his wife and three children, have been threatened with death unless they meet the demands of gang- sters, who appear to have started "racketeering" here.

M. Boixo is required to deposit a large sum in cash to a specified spot not far from their house. If he does not, dire penalties will fall upon his hand.

BRITAIN IS TO MAKE A PAYMENT OF TEN MILLION DOLLARS TO THE UNITED STATES ON ACCOUNT OF THE JUNE WAR DEBT INSTAL- MENT..

The amount will be paid in silver at fifty cents per fine ounce. Four million ounces of silver have been ac- quired from the Government of India for this purpose.

Mr. Neville Chamberlain made this announcement to-night before a very cheerful House of Commons, stating that this was exactly the offer which Britain made to the United States, as an acknowledgment of the debt.
