Britain Inspired Raids.
PARIS, April 10.-The raids on the
Soviet embassy in Picking and on the
consulate at Tientsin were inspired by
the imperialist powers, according to
NJ. Rakovsky, Soviet ambassador.
Declaring that Chang Tso-Lin would
never have dared to raid the embassy
unless he had been supported and en-
couraged by the powers, he said,
"These incidents in Picking appear TO
be merely preliminary to large scale
armed intervention which is now pre-

to have Russia made the goat for what
has happened, nor for what is going
to happen in China"

Reports from the front seem to in
dictate that the Nationalists have suf-
fered slight reverses along both
fronts. Chang Kai Shek's divisions at
Shanghai are being rushed to Pukow

from the North Station all day long,
and Chang Kai Shek himself is re-
ported to have left for the front.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON.--An anti-depression res
taurant for shoppers on foggy days
has opened in Piccadilly.
Artificial sunlight effects are OBJ
tanned by glowing golden walls and
ceiling in the lounge. The walls of
the restaurant are papered silver and
are set aglow by dull orange and
green lights in alabaster globes.
The yellow carpet has blue suns on
it. The chairs and tables are of
apple-green. Shimmering green taf-
feta curtains provide an illusion of
leaves and woods outside.
