 UNTIL ARMY CRUSHED
Anganchi Is Occupied Japanese Using Air
 planes, Infantry

MOON, Nov 18. - After 8 smashing offensive against Gen. Nah Chanshan's army, the Japan csc have sent the Chinese fleeing in disorder northward beyond An- ganchi and Tsitsihar.
 The Japanese occupied Anganchi and thsn continued to push for ward, reaching at one point, the outskirts of Tsitsihar.
 According to advices received here, the Japanese War Office at Tokyo, has been informed from the headquarters at Mukden, the at tack was provoked by Gen. Nah Chanshan and was ordered in self defense. The same advices stated the attack would continue until the Chinese Army was crushed and permanent peace established.
 The League of Nations Council met in Paris today to consider privately the results of yesterdays individual discussions. The Japan ese and Chinese representatives are absent.
 Position of U. s.
 The attitude of the United States at the Paris meeting is said to be a desire to maintain the tradition of the Open Door Policy in Man. churia and associate itself with the international move to restore a status quo, at the same time doing Iall possible to avoid wounding of the feelings of the Japanese.
 Pessimistic Feeling
 The Chinese officials at Nanking are pessimistic over possible firm action by the League toward forc- ing the Japanese to evacuate Man. churia.
 The Japanese officials are re- ported to have said that troops crossing the Russian-owned Chinese Eastern Railway at Anganchi would make every effort not to disturb Russian interests.
 General Reports
 Gen. Nah Chanshan, in his re- ports to Peiping, said his condition was becoming serious following the general attack of the Japanese. The Japanese are using infantry, heavy guns and airplanes.
 The offensive announcement was made by Gen. Honjo, Japanese Commander-in Chief, who said it. will be fight to the finish and is aimed to crush Gen. Nah Chan shan's army. Gen. Honjos report followed reports of an earlier att tack by the Chinese Commander against the Japanese north of Tah- sing, when the Japanese were ord- cred to make a counter attack. The announcement said the Japan csc have been forced to take the offensive for self potection."
 Severe Weather Prevails
 The battle in Manchuria is talk ing place in severe weather A temperature of Is degrees below zero is reported at Anganchi. The severe cold is adding greatly to the hardships of the troops, espec- ially the Japanese. They are &C., customed to a milder climate than | the Chinese.

But Death Believed
Drawing Near.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WEST ORANGE, N. j., October 10
The world for Thomas A. Edison now
is just one personals wife.
AS the inventor lay in a stupor today,
on the verge Of a coma, DR.. Hubert S.
Howe said Mr.. Edison for days has been
able to recognize no one except his
white-haired wife. who has been at his
bedside almost constantly.
In the past. because of the peculiar
timbre of her voice. her words have
been clear to Mr.. Edison despite his
deafness To this circumstance is par
TALLY attributed his ability to recognize
her now.
P~-lins at Bedside.
other members Of his family are
maintaining vigil near the si~kroom,
but the last word Of farewell between
them and MI. Edison apparently has
been exchanged.
How much longer he will be able to
recognize Mrs. Edison was beyond pre-
diction. but she, his companion of As
years, remains close at hand to keep
alive his last contact with the world.
AS DR.. Howe came from his routine
examination of the patient he told re-
porters:
About the only change in Mr..
Edison's condition is that it is in
creaslngly difficult fer him to take
nourishment. He has had nothing in
the LIST "a hours. In the preceding "a
hours he had only six teaspoonfuls Of
cereal.
Unable to Take Liquids.
He is not taking liquids. which are
very necessary if the uremic poisoning
is to be kept from spreading through
his system"
DR.. Howe described as "a lot Of nom
sense statement by Mr.. EdiSon's
barber that the inventor had recog-
nized him yesterday.
The physicians formal morning bull
letin read:
Mr.. Edison had restless night, but
there is little noticeable change and
his clinical condition is about the same
as yesterday"
He added to reporters:
ANY change in Mr.. Eoison'S condl-
ton now would be gradual, according
to all outward indications, although 1
would not be greatly surprised at any
sudden turn"
Ready for Quick Return.
After his visit DR.. Howe returned to
New York. 1t was announced that in
the event of sudden change in the
inventors condition special police es-
cort had been arranged to conduct the
physician through Holland Tunnel and
over the highways to the Edison home.
Mr.. Edison rested quietly through
out the day." Charles Edison said in
a bulletin at 4 pm. There is no no.
ticeable change in his condition"
Bishop William T. Manning of New
York telegraphed a message of SYM
pathy.
Theodore Edison, another son. issued
a bulletin at 10 pm. which read:
Mr.. Edison has been sleeping quiet
~ for the. last few hours and there
Is still no noticeable change in his con-
0ition."

It Is the more serious automatically

bigger than two such States as Colo
RADIO and New Mexico, ranging on the
Chinese coast with Russia on the
north. Japan just across the narrow
sea and China proper at her back; and
traversed by railroads controlled vari-.
ously by all three nations.
Underneath the surface. but never

Far East. For the Chinese National

into q modern nation. the issue Is one
of sovereignty and pride. For Japan
