councils members were preparing for
a private session at which they planned
to invite Ambassador Yoshizawa. jap
anese delegate, to give clear definition
of his governments demands regarding
respect for existing treaties.

1t was understood they planned to
question him closely with a view to dis
covering whether Tokio's demands in
Guided those treaties" which the
Chinese government has declined to
ratify on the ground they were imposed
by military force. The Council wishes
to assure itself that japan is not pro-
posing to achieve political advantage
over China through the presence OF It's
Army in Manchuria.
1t was known that Ambassador
Dawes and his confreres were unwill-
ing to support Japanese insistence on
treaty recognition If this Is merely
aimed to bind China to an engage
ment which her government always
has repudiated. They are only willing
to support efforts to secure Japanese
lives and property as evacuation pro-
crosses.
The Chinese view was that the Japa-
nese proposed to establish at Tsitsihar
another "puppet government" such as
they are claimed to have set up at
Mukden and Kirin. Thus all three Of
the ancient provincial capitals of Man
churia would, according to the Chi
nese, be under control of the japanese
military and the administrative con-
troll of Manchuria would be virtually
complete.

Earlier information here today was
that the japanese intended to withhold
any further aggressive action against
the Chinese until November IS. when
the period given Gen. Nah to accept the
stipulations recently laid by Gen. HOMO
as conditions of peace would have
elapsed.
Gen. Nah countered with another
proposal which was delivered to the
Japanese military commission at Hardin.
He offered to evacuate the district south
of Tsitsihar provided the japanese f1rst
evacuated the Nonni area. The Japa-
nese terms had demanded that Gen.
Nah be the first to withdraw.
A communique issued by army head
quarters began with long statement

FINISH FIGHT PLANNED.
Whole japanese Force Of 1000 Men
Launched Against Gen. MANS Army.

MUKDEN, Manchuria, November 10
R).-China's Manchurian army, fleeing
through binding blizzard, broke into
two scattering sections today and moved
northward from Tsitsihar in a retreat
which appeared to have turned into a
rout.
The battle that resulted in the &C.
cupation Of TsitSihar by the japanese
was extremely violent, official dis
patches said, and the casualties on
both sides were known to be heavy.
This battle, beginning early in the
morning, took the japanese to Tsitsihar
after dusk, word from the front said.
It was waged in bitter cold weather with
a wind out Of the Arctic sweeping down
from Siberia across the frost-bound
Manchurian plains.
Resistance CoIlapses.
japanese dispatches said Gen. Nah
Chan-Shan had a strong force of Chi
nese troops ready for the offensive, but
although he resisted stubbornly in the
fighting below Anganchi, the last stages
of the advance were said TO have been
accomplished with little or no resis-
lance.
Weather conditions were such as
have rarely been experienced in modern
warfare and the Chinese troops were
required to do more fighting than has
any other Chinese army for decades
The japanese war machine, however,
was more than a match for the heavier
enemy dispatches indicated, and Gen.
Mains forces were driven into fight, ap-
parently toward Hardin.
The announcement of the opening of
the offensive was made by Gen. Shigeru
HOMO, commander of the japanese
Manchurian force, and he said it would
be fight to the finish, aimed to crush

to Work Out Her Own Salvation.
NANKING, November 18 (P. - Of
ficials of the Chinese government were
gloomy today over the reports OF the
League Of Nations Councils session at
Paris and hopes of strong action by
the League to force the Japanese out OF
Manchuria were dashed.
The feeling grew that China would
have to work out her own salvation.
Official and public circles still said
they relied on the League to uphold
Justice" but they added there was
little room for optimism over the result.
THE people Of China should be
prepared for a financial sacrifice" the
North China Daily News, organ of the
National government said, apparently
meaning either a severance Of all re-
lations with Japan or the latter's an
nexation of Manchuria.
The government forwarded to the
League today q note in which 1t de-
clared it would regard as "a seditious
institution" any Manchurian govern
ment headed by Hsuan Tung, former
boy Emperor, and would repudiate all
its acts.
The note was sent after reports were
received that the former Emperor, who
has been living in Tientsin as Henry
Pu-Yi, was taken to Mukden to be re-
stored to the throne.

Japanese Is to destroy Gen. Mains main

Destroy Railway Bridge.
A Rengo dispatch from Mukden said
a flying column of Gen. Mains troops
early in the day destroyed an iron
railway bridge at Sanlin on the Chen
chiatun-Taonan Railway line in the
rear of the main body Of the Japanese.
The aim of this maneuver, 1t was said,
was to cut the Japanese communica-
tons and delay the arrival OF REIN
forcementS.
Other dispatches said the belief
prevailed that Gen. Nah Chanshan
launched the attack this morning in the
hope of defeating the japanese Nonn1
River force before the arrival Of aerial
reinforcements which left Japan and
Korea yesterday.
The arrival of the air reinforce
ments was said to have been delayed
by heavy snowstorm.
