Pchu. Dec. 2l.-Whie no news has

ton that Japan has sent an ultlmatuu

ton that a grave crisis is approach
Ing. Major General Yamani, the Jap.
anese military attache. and the Japa-
nese Colonel who has been instructing
General Yuan Shat Kai's troops have
both started for Japan.
The native press recently reiterated
n circumstantial story 10 the effect
that in the event OF Manchuria being
retained By Russia, Il was the inten-
ton OF Great Britain 20 establish n
protectorate over the Yang.Tse Valley
as compensation and to appoint a
yiccroy therein, so that her prestige
IN the Far East would be equal %
Russia's. Some OF the native papers
give Wal Wu Pu, or Chinese foreign
board. as authority for the story. This
fiction Is largely credited and grayely
discussed and is creating hostility
against Great Britain. II is suspected
that the story has been fostered by
unfriendly agencies appointed for the
purpose. and the British legation Is
investigating its origin.

1t will be good news to the mother
of small children to learn that Group

Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy freely as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears,
and it will dispel all symptoms OF
Group. In this way all danger and
anxiety may be avoided. This RENE
DIV is used by many thousands OF

that can always be depended upon
