Peiping Prepares to Resist Japanese Air- craft -- Foreign Communities A r e Not Alarmed.

PEIPING, China, May 11.—-(A.P.) -City walls of this old capital bristlcd tonight with anti-aircraft guns, rushed into place by military authorities wlio fear repetition of a visit by a bombing aeroplane, sup- posediy Japanese.

The aviator dropped leaflets ad- dressed to "fellow Aslatlcs" and warning that Peipirig and its sister city of Tlentsin, wiicre many occl- dentals live, would be besieged if the Chinese continued tlneir defence of North China.

Foreign, military observers linked the visit with renewed Japanese nt- tacks at Naiiticrrmcn, in the North China triangle where Japanese and Chinese have been engaged in bloody battles for weeks.

Foreign corrrmunities in the two International Treaty areas were not alarmed by the episode and were pursuing their usual activities to- night, but this was the first reul scare to tlic cities rind emphasized to the native populations that the Japanese offensive was pushing closer after getting control of sev- erai Lwan river cities.

Diplomats stationed here said no protest against today's flights were contemplated since the identity of the plane must first bc proved.

The second day of the Maritime Conference Branch of the W. M. S. at Summcrside was opened at 9.30 with a devotional service which was very largely attended.

Mrs. W. A. Thompson, Charlotte- town, Vice President, conducted this service and opened with the hymn 380. "Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life."

Speaking from the text, "They that will wait upon the Lord," Isaiah, chapter 40, verse 31, Mrs. Thompson made a touching appeal for prayer for missions.

She asked: Have we failed to present our case to the Lord? There is no need of the human soul that cannot be supplied if we approach tlic Lord in the right spirit. Pray- ers arc the great power and every- lone should endeavour to lay aside Isome part of each day to hold com- munioin with God. God is calling on women as never before to work in His Kingdom and we must all strive to do our best for thc ad- vance of His Kingdom.

LONDON, May itL-(C. P. Cable) -—Iord Hailshani, Minister of War, told the House of Lords today the recent abolition of the oath of al- legiance to the British Crown by the Irish Free Stats Parliament did not alter the position of Free State cit- izens with respect to the King.

Speaking in guarded fashion the

lidlnister answered several important

questions concerning the Irish Free State raised by Lord Danesfort.

Ailuding to the large number of Irish residing in England and other parts of the Empire some of whom were drawing unemployment relief or other financial benefits, Lord Haiisham pointed out the Anglo- Iriuh Treaty could not be altered unilaterally. Every citizen of the Free State was barn within the King's allegiance and could not get rid of that allegiance without the “King's assent.

The retiring Presidents annual address formed one of the high- llglits of the meeting. Reviewing business conditions in tlic Mari- tlmes, Mr. Nelson looked forward with hope to greatly improved conditions among the industries of the three provinces. .

Especially was this true, lie de- clared, of those industries the products of which had been aided through the Imperial Conference agreement and were about to be given assistance under the Federal stabilization fund.

Heads of Maritime firms, he said. should give careful study to the Ottawa agreements with a view to determining direct advantages to be derived. "The opportunities are there." he said, “and it ‘rs up to us to secure our full share."

Withdrawal of Ger- many Would Be a Matter of Grave Concern.

LONDON, May --.—(C. P. Cable) -Lcrd Hallsham, secretary for War, told the House of Lords tonight it was his opinion that any attempt on the part of Germany to re-arm would be a breach of the Treaty of Versailles and would bring into op-

treaty. ,

During the course of a disarma- ment debate Lord Hailsham said if, with Britain's proposal before her. Germany declined to participate in further discussions of the World Disarmament Conference, or walked out of the Conference, she would be rejecting offers made in fulfillment of pledges and would incur respon- sibility for failure of deliberations which might ensue.

If Germany left the Conference. he added, the course to be followed by the remaining powers would be a. matter for the “gravest consider- ation."
