TOKIO, November 18.—Japanese dispatches from Peiping and Tientsin unanimously and unreservedly an- nounced tonight that a new nation, that of North China, will be born this week. These dispatches, by Agency, among others, state that the new nation. like Manchukuo, will be created under the protection of Ja- pan’s mighty military machine, which| the Chinese national government at| Nanking is powerless to oppose.

New Jersey and the southern shore of Long Island suffered most as waves and flood tides described as the worst in 20 years hammere.. the coasts both south and east of New York yesterday. Two 3,000-ton freighters—the Florida and Hartwelson—were crippled and sent calls for aid; numerous smaller craft were cast aground and one tug and its tow were unreported; pleasure boats were wrecked by the hundred. A seaman was swept to his death from a freighter and at least eight highway fatalities were charged against slippery roads and windshields covered by snow or pelting rain. Two Massachusetts duck hunters were | missing. Entire towns were flooded or were isolated on the barrier beaches which form much of New Jersey’s and Long Island’s coastlines. Various communi- ties reported buildings toppled, high- ways undermined .nd boardwalks cut. Official estimates of the damage were impossible before a check on | whatever havoc was wrought by an- other high tide during the night. Newspaper estimates, however, ranged from £1,000,000 to $15,000,000. North Jersey shore officials appealed to the Federal Government for repair funds. The northeast wind swung to the northwest today, beating back the fury of the sea. But as a reminder the gale left the North Atlantic States their first real taste of Winter. Inland areas reported freezing weather and as much as 83 inches of snow. Former President Hoover, motoring from New York City to Binghamton, N. Y. sought shelter at Monticello.

POWERS ARE REASSURED. Japanese Spokesman Holds Interests Not Jeopardized. SHANGHAI, November 18 (#).—A spokesman for the Japanese Embassy said today that foreign powers need have no fear that their interests and privilges in Nmrfigh- are jeopard- ized by the pi developments in that area. He said that while the embassy was not yet officially informed of the au- tonomy movement, he understood that North China would give nominal al- legiance to Nanking and would con- tinue paying its full share of China’s foreign obligations under the proposed program, despite financial and eco- nomic separation. ‘The spokesman eonceded that the changes probably would be followed by more intensive Japanese com- mercial activity, but that discrimina- tion against other nationalities was most improbable. Monetary Program Blamed. He said he believed that the North China autonomy movement undoubt- edly was precipitated by the monetary program of the national Chinese gov- ernment at Nanking. The embassy spokesman announced that Ambassador Akira Ariyoshi would leave soon for Nanking to con- fer with Chinese national leaders in an effort to determine once for all whether the Chinese Government intends to make a serious attempt to suppress anti-Japanese activity throughout the country or to permit Sino-Japanese relations to grow worse. The ambassador will draw the government official’s attention to the recent evidence of resurgence of anti- Japanese activity and point out the gravity of the continuance of present conditions, | ing | two life insurance policies, identification from photographs of Miss Loring published following her disappearance.

Richard Tear, 29, an attendant at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and the fiance of the missing girl, returned to the Upper Marlboro Court House today to discuss the case with authorities and learn if any new clues had been un- covered. Lieut. Itzel today called in the re- porters covering the case and took them to task for the “wild stories” which have been published in some Washington and Baltimore papers in connection with the crime. Itzel told the reporters they must either refrain from writing stories based on rumor alone or he would refuse to discuss the | case with them further.

GUARDS PLACED ABOUT EMBASSIES IN ROME Mussolini's Troops Claim Addi- tional Victories as Advances Are Made Into Ethiopia. By the Associated Press. Benito Mussolini’s undeclared war in Ethiopia met world opposition to- day as the League of Nations’' eco- nomic sanctions were applied against Italy. At midnight, the program whereby 51 League members agreed to pre- vent importation of Italian goods and to stop exporting certain raw mate- rials to Italy went into effect. Italy, having already made prepara- tions to combat the penalties for its invasion in East Africa, which the League has termed “aggressive,” dis- played its “implacable resistance” to the sanctions in a showing of banners throughout the nation. Reprisals Promised. It had promised to treat other na- tions as they treated Italy. The Fas- | cist grand council, which on Saturday | denounced the sanctions, was to meet | again tonight to study details of Italy's fight against them and, it was said in informed quarters, to consider | peace proposals raised in diplomatic contacts. Italian troops guarded the British Embassy in Rome and the headquar- ters of other sanctionist countries, as | youths began demonstrations denounc- | ing the sanctions. | Some shouted, land!” Some delay in application of the sanctions by certain countries was ex- pected because of legal difficulties. The Spanish government had not yet pub- lished its decrees making the economic penalties effective, while the exact time of enforcement by France was in doubt. The economic sanctions were the last of the measures against Italy ap- proved by the League. Financial sanc- tions, by which credit is not extended to Italy and business is not done with Italians, and an arms embargo had already been made effective. Troops Claim New Victories. While at Rome Italy prepared to| meet the economic siege, on the war front Italian troops continued their successes, an official communique said. Gen. Emilio de Bono, still commander in chief pending the arrival of Marshal Pietro Badoglio, named to succeed him, reported that Haile Selassie’s warriors | were pushed beyond the Takkaze River by the second Italian Army Corps, Iwnh the Ethiopians suffering several casualties. The government at Addis Ababa an- nounced Italian bombs dropped yes- terday on the town of Enderta, near Makale, had killed and injured civilians and destroyed many houses. The communique said the populace, en- raged by the bombing, had revolted against Italian domination of the area. Ras Nasibu, Governor of Harar Province and commander of the Ethi- opian armies in the south, was re- ported to have withdrawn his forees to the region of the city of Harar, im- portant and stratgic city toward which the Italians in the south were pointing. Travelers from Jijiga were reported in press dispatches to Rome as saying many Ethiopian wounded had been deserted in villages of Ogaden Prov- ince as the black troops fled. Ethioplans were also reported fight- ing among themselves in the Aussa region along the Hawash River, where part of the populace had gone over to the Italians. It was said the en- counter occurred about 80 miles west of Harar. Harar Reported Reached. Italian armored cars, said an un- confirmed report from Djibouti, French Somaliland, penetrated even to Harar, with airplanes, but turned back and rejoined the southern col- umns. Marshal Badoglio was ready to sail tonight from Naples, with his two sons—Paolo, an aviation officer, and Mario, an artilleryman—to assume leadership of all Il Duce’s East African troops. He was named Saturday to succeed Gen. De Bono, recalled to Italy, where he will be made a marshal, in a shake-up of the war command. Ethiopia’s King of Kings, said a high authority at Addis Ababa, prob- ably will go to the northern front within 10 days, after which his troops will make their first rigid stand against the invaders. There was an- other report the Emperor would de- part tonight. Persons who witnessed a day of (See ITALY, Page 2.) “Down with Eng- BALDWIN CONFERS WITH MW’DONALD Nature of Interview Kept Secret.

Wheat of District Supreme Court today upheld the Public Utilities rent 20-30-50-70-cent here.

Henning, president of the Cab Drivers’ Protective Union. Carey E. Quinn, attorney for Hen- ning, immediately served notice he would appeal. In arguing the case, Quinn had at- tacked the order as unreasonable and unlawful, contending the rider to the District appropriation bill in which Congress purported to give the Public Utilities Commission authority over rates did not have the effect of law. It also was argued that the current rates were not based on adequate data. © Position of Commission. Congress always has legislated on Utilities Commission matters by ap- propriation bill riders, was the reply of Assistant Corporation Counsel Hinman D. Folsom, who represented the commission. He recited pertinent facts brought out in the rate hearing and said 75 per cent of the District's 3,700 cab drivers favored the existing rate. During trial of the case, both at- torneys admitted that if Chief Justice Wheat ruled in favor of Henning, the taxicab business in the District would be stripped of all rate and zone reg- ulation fof the time being at leug.

Initial political comment on the new Canadian-American trade treaty strengthened belief today that it might be a major issue in the 1936 came paign. Most legislators were hesitant to express opinions pending further study of the long list of mutual tarift reductions. While Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York termed it a “step in the right direction.” and Senator O'Ma« honey, Democrat, of Wyoming said it would benefit the Rocky Mountain area especially, two Republican Rep+ resentatives—Church of Illinois and Brewster of Maine—opened fire upon some of the pact'’s provisions. Reaction of American business, la+ bor and farming interests was studied closely. Fear Paralyzing, Officials of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association told newse men here the pact’s provision for g 50 per cent reduction in duties on Canadian lumber would “paralyze the general economy of important party of this country.” While lumbermen on the Pacific Coast joined in this attack, shingly manufacturers there considered they had won a victory in limitation of Canadian shingle imports to 25 pet cent of American consumption.
