The Junta, established by the insurgent loaders at Burgos intends to-morrow, according to a despatch through a semi-official agency, to inform foreign Governments and the International Red Cross Committee that the Spanish Government forces are asing poison gas-Router.

GAS WAR DENOUNCED

Burgos, Aug. 19.

The alleged use of poison gas by the Spanish Government forces is denounced as a monstrosity to-day by General Moln. one of the leaders of the revolt.

He stated that the insurgent army also possessed gases but had never contemplated their use against Spaniards.

Responsible quarters contend that the resort to gas proves that Madrid is in difficulties and also that the insurgents are "leading a veritable crusade against barbarity."-Reuter.

OFFICIAL CLAIM

Burgos, Aug. 18. The rebel headquarters at Burgos has received t official statement from General Mola to the effect that loyalists used polson gas when al- tacking San Rafael on Monday:

He denied that any Anglo-Japanese negotiations existed in connection with the recognition of Manchukuo. "warn Japan," he said "that if he wishes to stand alone like Italy, instead of among the concert of na- tions, her position will be dangerous.” This statement followed Mr. John R. Stewart's puper on "The Economic Futility of the Japanese Occupation of

Manchukuo."

In this, Mr. Stewart declared the occupation would not solve Japan's economic difficulties and would not afford her self-sufficiency-United · Press.
