ed an offensive today against s. force of Chinese bandits, estimat- ed to number as high as 12,000, who have been established 1n the rough country southwest of Muk- don. MAnchm-is. Dispatches received by the Rengo (Japanese) news agency after the beginning oi the drive had been announc u here, said the operation was entirely successful. According a. the dispatches, foot soldiers. working with the assist- ance of aeroplanes, routed the ban- dit force and drove them west of the Lino River. Japanese Military authorities de- nied that the action was aimed at Ohinchcw, where Tokyo has heard 50,000 Chinese troops have been c entrated. The Japanese explained the of- fensive was "n. local affair to stamp out bandibry." The government decided today to go to the League of Nations in re- gard to the situation at Chinchow The Japanese ‘military authorities declared the concentration 0f troops there was a constant menace. But at the Fort-WI! OliIice it was said everything possible was being done to avoid military action. Kenkichi Yoshizfi-wa, Japan's spokesman mt the Inlzues Colm- cil meeting at Ptris; was instructed to ask the Council to persuade Chang Hsueh-Liang, deposed gover- nor of Manchurian. to withdraw his forces from Chinchow in order to remove the threat of trouble. Shortly after these instructions were sent the War Office said it had learned 500 Chinese cavalry- lnen advanced fest from Chinchow toward the Japanese operated south Manchuria railway. It was made clear that unless. scmthlng was done about Chinchow‘ Japan would not accept any League settlement programme stipulating that military operations cease. l

Governor G e n e r al Pleads for New Con- ception of Common- wealth of British Nation s.

(Canadian Press)

TORONTO, Ont., Nov. Z-L-Plead- ing for a new conception of Empire . —a moving, living organization of l autonomous nations, adapting itself‘ to the shifting needs of an evolu- tionary wcrld—1.ord Bessborough, Governor-General of Canada, today addressed a joint meeting of the To- ronto Empire and Canadian Clubs.‘ The new conception of Empire, as: defined at the Imperial Conference o! 1926, is not an abstract proposi- tion or a fixed political theory, crystallzcd and immovable, incap- able of evolution or adaptation.

“No association of human beings ever has been less of .a rigid, polit- ical abstraction than the British. Empire," said the Governor-Gen- eral. Healthy adaptability has been . the key-note of the Empire and “in E nothing has that elasticity been i more closely shown than in the re- I lotions between the Mother Country g and the Dominions overseas. Within h our own memory, those relations‘ have undergone profound develop-i ment, keeping pace with the re- | mnrkable political growth of the Do- minlons themselves. And the pro- cess goes steadily on.

l The result has been, Lord Bess- borough hastened to add, an un- believable development of the Em-

tlnlnlt

ports issued today by the general management committee. While the committee was unable to issue of- ficlal figures on today's returns, it was believed that half of the $150,- ooo,ooo five per cent 108D had been taken up by investors.“ _ while those at the head of the organization that Ls handling the offering for the Government ex- pressed complete gratification at the manner in which it had been received in all parts of the Domin- ion, they stressed that, with a Breflb part of the large subscriptions al- ready received, the participation n? the so-called small subscriber was important to the success of the loan.

Campaign managers in the vari- ous provinces registered their sat- isfaction with the progress oi the loan in their various communities. indicating that the investor was transferring his savings from the banks lo the country's bond issue. A ilypioal report was that from Mayor Balfour of Regine, sash, who wired "First day's response reported to be very satisfactory. Large number

pire as a whole. "The very fact that its several members are attain- ing a. stage of development un- dreamed of a few generations ago, is surely proof that the whole is sound." Yet within the Empire, there is no room for “sleeping palt- ners."

“Modern business admits of no deadheads and it is no less true that,

tlons, each nation must pull its full weight. The strength oi the chain is in its weakest link; if the chain of the British Empire is to stand, the strain that the troubles of this post-war world are bound to put on it, each individual link must be as

The need of a central institution .n the Province for prisoners serv- ing lengthy Jail sentences, and the difficulty under the present system of maintaining order in the jails, was emphasized by the Grand Jury at the-opening of the Fall term of the Supreme Court at Summerside yesterday.
