GERMANY LOYAL TO AGREEMENT WITH ROME

Plan For Parleys

With Britain Wrongly Construcd POSTPONEMENT PROFITABLE

Berlin, Nov. 14.

A statement issued by the National Socialist party's official news service on the visit, of Lord Halifax to Herr Adolf Hitler,. which is given great prominence by the German press, deprecates the sensational attitude adopted by certain newspapers.

The papers generally speak of Britain's desire to come to terms with Germany, but do not discuss the possible subject of the talks which are to take place between Lord Halifax and the Fuehrer.

It is noteworthy that discussion on Germany's colonial claims which, until a few days ago was being carried on heatedly, has disappeared rapidly overnight.Reuter,

Hsinhsiang, Nov. 15.

With the aid of reinforcements Chinese forces on the right flank of the Peiping-Hankow front are launching a fierce counter-offensive on Taming in an attempt to recapture the strategic town which fell into the hands of the Japanese a few days ago, a military report from the front states.
