MS BOXER, LAST IF
 THE ARCTIC FLEET,
 SAILS FROM BARRON

Last of the Arctic fleet to reach Point Barrow this year, the aux Hilary powered schooner Boxer, Capt. E. L. Bush, master, arrived off the village last week.
 Aware that the Arctic ice might come in at any time and hold the little vessel prisoner until next spring, the officers and crew of the Boxer and natives from the village worked in feverish haste to get the Point Barrow shipments ashore.
 At 10 o'clock last Friday night all the cargo had been discharged and the Boxer sailed for Nome, where she will take aboard number of King Island natives who have been long snoring during the summer and deliver them to their homes. She then vii go to St. Lawrence Island and head for Seattle. The vessel is due in Seward next month.
 All the units of the Arctic fleet have reached Point Barrow this year after being delayed by the ice off Wainwright for several days. The motorship Patterson of San Francisco, owned and operated by the Northern Whaling & Trad ing Company, the sailing schooner c. s. Holmes, of Seattle, The Cana dian steamship Baychimo from Vancouver, B. O., and the Coast Guard cutter Northland have all reached Point Barrow this year al- though later than in other sea- sons.
 When conditions were beginning to look serious for the fleet, a brisk wind came up carrying the ice pack off shore and unlocking the roadstead of Point Barrow.

 The prediction was prompted by reports received in Tokyo that such a plan was underway.
 Reports received in Tokyo and London said that several Iindepend- ent batallionS of Japanese railway guards have begun a drive through the rough country southwest of Mukden against an estimated force of 12,000 Chinese bandits believed to be in that area.
 It is said that the maneuyer is not directed against Chin Chow where the Chinese forces are con- centrating,
 At Nankirg, Wellington Koo, new Foreign Minister of China, who was appointed to take charge of the Ranking governments affairs pending the creation of new cen- tral executive committee of Kou- lnintang, said that China had sub mitted concrete proposal" to the League, of Nations at Paris and that any other compromise not providing for Japanese evacuation from Manchuria would be unac- ceptable.
 The deadlock between the Chinese and Japanese delegates to the League of Nations persisted as the Council once more tried to straight en out the dispute.
