at Toklo:

the Chinese city by the Tung l'len Kate.

found safe. The Japanese loss was

namely, ('apt. Michilye and Lieut.

computed at about 400.

the drift of discussion In official and

Is that tin next move made will he an

be undertaken by the commanders of
the Chinese army and those of the al

There are 11 nations which have suf
