Peiping, Nov. 12.

It is feared that Japan is about to force upon China acceptance of the de facto independence of three. further provinces, Shantung, Charlar and Hopei.

It is learned on the best authority that Major- General Tada, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces in North China, has demanded:

(1) that General Shang Chen, governor of Hopei, should withdraw all his army units south of Paoting;

(2) that he abolish the Tientsin Tangku Peace Preservation Corps headquarters;

Rome, Nov. 11. The Italians are asking when the Ethiopians are going to make a stand.

Reports from both the northern and southern, fronts agree that the Italians are generally stabbing at thin air. No matter how fast the Italians advance, the Ethiopians retreat even faster. The Italians have now entered a country which has been completely denuded by their enemies. There is nothing to eat or drink in this waste.

It is suggested that the Ethiopian strategy is de- signed to draw the Italians into miore difficult country and expand their communications, while they them- selves hold positions more favourable for defence.
