NANKING, Jan. 18.-Paul and Ger
trude Ruegg were rushed back to jail
yesterday, the Marking government
bruta1ly denying them an opportunity
to fully recover from the effects Of
their treatment in prison and their
recent hunger strike against prison
conditions.
The two anti-imperialist fighters,

men two years ago bv British i'm
perialist agents in Shanghai, had
been removed only a few days ago
to a hospital In an extremely critical
condition. The removal was made
after vigorous protests by workers and
intellectuals in China and through
out the world against the deliberate
attempt of the Marking authorities TO
murder the two workers. Local doc
tors declared today that the return
Of the Rueggs to prison negates then
chances for recovery.

PARIS, Jan. 13-The French Gov
eminent revealed today that in its
note of Jan. 1 to Germany, it de-
manded that the Nazis submit to
continued supervision by the League
of Nations controlled by France and
BRITAIN of German ornaments. The
demand is tantamount to rejection
of the Nazi demands for arms equal
ity, although within the past few
days it has become clear that the
government is yielding somewhat to
the demands OF certain sections of
the French bourgeoisie, who are in
favor of an understanding with Hit
Ter against the Soviet Union.
The note also declared that any
consideration of German military
strength must take into account the
huge police, Nazi Storm Troopers and
other military bodies.

projected, the new divisions to be
formed by calling more men to the
colors.
The Japanese War Office will ask
an increase in the already huge mill

vide 100000 yen for anti-aircraft
guns, searchlights and other equip

Japanese troops occupied the Chi

new Japanese invasion of North
China is already well under way.
