"It's a gift"

said Johnnie Walker

"I mean that literally," he added. "This is one of the cheerfully decora- ted Christmas cases of Johnnie Walker. But balancing is a gift too, and the balancing feat I'm particularly proud of is the perfect balance I achieve between the contrasting qualities of many matured single whiskies when I'm blending Johnnie Walker. So this Christmas, give your friends Johnnie Walker in these special Christmas cases. They contain 3, 6 or xa bottles, and dealer stocks them ready

your for sending."

affect the polley of the National Gov- ernment to resist the Japanese troops to the bitter end. The evacuation was undertaken in order to streng- then the Chinese positions whereby the war of resistance may effectively be continued,

Mr. Anthony Eden, in a written reply, said he was informed ilial on December 3 a a Japanese representative handed to the Commissioner of the Shanghai Municipal Police a state- ment indicating that the Japanese milltary authoritles reserve the right to take

Independent action in the Settlement without previous notice to the Council if the situation rendered it necessary. The Council referred the matter to the Consular body which, Mr. Eden understood, is now communicating with the Japanese Authorities.

Licut-Comdr. Fletcher naked through what channel His Majesty's Government communicates with the Shuanghal Municipal Council with

to action it considers the

Self should taize with regard to

the demands formulated, and the action taken by the Japanese military

authorities.

Mr. Eden, in a written reply, said the Counelt was an international organisation and any advice of the nature indicated would be com- municated to it collectively by the Consular body through the senior Consul in Shanghai.

ATTEMPTED INCEST CHARGED

Alvaro Antonio de Souza Remedios, aged 38, book-keeper, of Waterloo Road, Kowloon, was charged before Mr. K. Keen at the Kowloon Mogi- stracy to-day with attempted incest. Sub-Inspector R. Cunningham pro- secuted in the case and applied for a week's formal remand which wid granted.

Continuing Resistance

The statement points out that since the seat of the National Government lins been removed from Nanking, the city has no further military signi cance. The Chinese army's Bghting plan is to avoid heavy sacrifice and in accordance with that plan the troops at Nanking have been ordered to withdraw to new positions where they will continue the resistance,

No information is available regard- ing the routes the withdrawing army took, but is presumed the bulk of the troops went up river by boats and launches.

Handful Still Fighting

Fighting desperately, to stem the Japanese attacks, a small force of Chinese troops in understood to have been left at Nanking when the main body of the army withdrew. These troops, it was reported last night. the were still holding Hsiakwon, waterfront district between the wall- ed city and the Yangtse, but unless they slipped out last night, they will be in a very precarious position to- day when their retreat by the river. now their only means of escape, may be cut off by the Japanese warships which are steaming up Chinkiang,
