"Chinese Answer Jap i Ultimatum

Indignantly Refills-e To Accede To The J ap Demand That Chinese TroopsBeEvaelliltedFromJehol.

(By Morris I. Harris, Associated Press Stall Correspondent)

SHANGHAI, Feb. 24—(li‘riday)— Quickly replying to the ultimatum

0r Japan, the Chinese Government indfll’ lndignantly refused to accede to the Japanese demand that Chin- esp troops be evacuated from the Proiince of Jehol. The Government reiterated its determination to de- lead Jehol, where the Japanese al-

, udy hive started preliminary op-

fictions for their campaign of con- quest, and also declared China would exercise the right of self- dcfcnsc if the Japanese spread their operations to North Chla, bclov the Great Wall.

"the fact that Japan not only is brat on attacking and seizing Jehol but also declares that her military operations may be extended to North China is sufficient proof that her long cherished policy of

‘aggression remains unchanged," the Chinese reply said. ' .‘

‘rile flovcmment emphasized that Jchoi is an integral part of Chin. cse territory and that in dispatch- ins’ troops there for defense agilnst eXliffllfll aggression China was ex- ercising its sovereign right,

"The Japanese Government," the Willy continued, "must be held ab- soluirly responsible for the invasion oi Jt3il0l, and as for the puppet 1-3.- slnlc in the three eastern (Mun- clluriurl) provinces, it is a Japanese creation pilfe and simple, a fact villirh is known to the whole world.

"AL-ifiii; this regime and the so- culta Jlipan-Méncbulruo ' pl-nmlii

Finally, the reply dealt with the Japanese reference to the "bzndit soldiers of Jehol" by saying that Governor Tang Yu-Lin o1 that province is a high military author- ity oi the Chinese government and that the Japanese allegation "must be regarded as a.‘ deliberate af- front."

"Tile Chinese Government," the note said. "hereby lodges its pro- test."

-'Miss Elsie McLuhan Charmed Her audi- ence In A Well- Balanced Pro- gramme. I

‘Idle recital in Hearts Memorial Hall last evening by Misg Elsie Mc- Luhan. talented reader and unper- sonator, was one of the finest en- tertainments a Charlottetown aud- ience has enjoyed for some time. Her appearance and her personal charm were most- pleasing. The clear musical qmllty of her voice. her distinct articulation her ready wit, and vivid imagination, all combined to make her art beauti- ful and effective. If art is the in- terpretation of truth through per- sonality gilfl is a true artist.

Her selections were admirably suited to her audience. Pathos. humour. and sentiment were fairly balanced. space fcrb!ds comment on each number. but her interpre- tatlon of the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet, of "l-Iumores- due", the notable short story of Fannie Hurst, and llcr adaptation of "1066, and All that," will not soon be’ forgotten. and her return will be looked forward to with eager- ness.

Miss Margaret Stems put a Charlottetown audience still more in her debt by rendering in son! beautifully and dalntlly "Pastcrale" (Old English) by Lewis CafYl ar- ranged by Lome Wilson. and the two quaintA. A. Milne songs "In the Fashion". and "The King's Breakfast". Miss Lillian MacKerr zle accompanied her on the Plim-
