JAPANESE REFUSE TO SUPPLY FUNDS

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE AT PEIPING

There is' strict martial law in Tientsin, but to-day, as far as can be learned, there has been no recurrence of the activity of "autonomy forces." Apparently they are disgruntled be- cause their demand for payment was refused by the Japanese Consular authorities yesterday.

Meanwhile, certain organisations sympathetic with the autonomy move, have sent message to Tokyo urging the des patch of Japanese troops to assist General Yin Ju-keng in suppressing communists.

Last night in Pelping there was a conference of leaders, at which General Dolhara, General Sung Che-yuan and others. attended. General Yin Ju-keng, who has headed the autonomy, movement in eastern Hopei, and who is Administrative Com❤ missioner of the Luantung Demilitarised Zone, asserts that he expects the powerful General Sung Che-yuan to join his revolt against Nanking..

MARTIAL LAW

Tientsin, Nov. 20. The strictest martial law in in force in the native city to-day. It is im possible to proceed from the French to the Italian concessions due to the fact that two blocks of Chinese area intervene. It is also impossible to reach the railway station.

The Autonomists who dispersed last | night had orders to return to duty to-day. However, it is doubtful if they will appear since they declare they have not been paid.

After their dispersal yesteriny! they went to the Japanese Consulate. and demanded money. They were driven away by armed gundarmes. They are therefore most dlsgruntled to-day-United Press.

Asmara, Nov. 25.

A surprise frontal attack towards Tembien, where the elusive Ras Seyoum is believed to be ensconced with a force variously estimated between 500 and 2,000 men, is being undertaken by General Villasantos' Division, from Adown.

The movement began, three days ago. General Villa- santos' headquarters has already been advanced sixteen miles. But the Italians are maintaining a atrict silence about his movements.

The effect of the advance will be, firstly, to correct the Italian line which has, up to now, shown a marked re-entrance south of Adowa; and, secondly, to protect General Santini's right flank near Makale.
