The Chinese, nevertheless, appeared to be holding their own and showed no signs of abandoning their strongly forâ€" tifled lines in Chapei and on the northâ€" west sector from Kiangwan to Tazang.

The incident occurred as the Japaâ€" nese, starting their most intensive camâ€" paign of the war, launched a terrifc artiliery attack at Shanghai, and simultaneously bombed Nanking in one of the most spectacular air raids of the war. The cars, plainly marked with the Union Jack, contained a Russian Emâ€" bassy Secretary, Leonid Shahov, and an Italian naval officer, Lieutenant Francesco Ribezzi, in addition to Britâ€" ish officials. A party of British Embassy and Conâ€" sular officials were raked with maâ€" chineâ€"gun fire as they sped toward Shanghai from Nanking last night. They took cover at the roadside and no one was injured. Despatches yesterday from Shanghai said that a Japanese airplane attack on three British Embassy automobiles and a Japanese artillery barrage which dropped eightsen shells into the Ameri. can defense zone in the International Settlement â€" intensified international complications in the Chinese war toâ€" day. ‘Auto Plainly Marked with Union Jack Raked by Machine Gun Fire.

Come and see for yourself While no official comment was made, the incident was regarded with extreme gravity in all quarters. Globe and Mail:â€"As a general rule the ‘"ism" candidates made a pitifully poor showing on election day. A Soviet Consular car, despatched to bring Shahov to Shanghai after he telephoned that his car had broken down, also was raked with machineâ€" gun fire from Japanese planes, the Soviet Consulate reported, and was forced to return to Shanghai. of the British marines, and several Consular officials.

Shinn The British ‘Consulâ€"General, Herbert Phillips, called British Consular and military officials ‘into conference imâ€" mediately after the airplane attack and communicated the information to London, but no statements were issued. Similar to Previous Episode The attack bore a close parallel to that by Japanese fliers on a British Embassy car six weeks ago, in which the British Ambassador to China, Sir Hughe Knatchbullâ€"Hugessen, was shot in the spine. Britain protested that attack and the Japanese Government rendered a formal apology, but urged British and other foreigners to notify Japanese commanders of any projected trip through the area of hostilities. It was learned that in this instance the British Embassy notified the Japaâ€" nese command when the automobiles ieft Nanking for Shanghai. The cars, however, travelled a different route than that of which the Japanese had been advised. r‘hltherto were dropping their shots ‘lnto Japanese concentrations.

Japanese war planes were alleged to have bombed the Canton poorhouse on Sunday, blowing up the building and killing scores of elderly inmates and injuring others of the old folks. In the same raid over southern China, scores of buildings, including schoolhouses, were blown up and hundreds killed. Japanese Destroy Schools and Poorhouse by Bombs There is considerable speculation as to whether Mr. Rowe will accept a seat from one of his followers. Premier Hepburn has promised that there will be no Liberal opposition in that event. On the other hand, Mr. Hepburn has to find a seat for Colin Campbell, who may be Minister of Public Works, but ilitt»le difficulty would be encountered here as the Liberal member vacating in Mr. Campbell‘s favour would certainly be taken care of by being handed a government job for his sacrifice. Mr. Hepburn will have no difficulty in findâ€" ing a seat for Mr. Campbell for a govâ€" errment job has strong appeal to many Liberal members who see in it freedom from patronage and a strong possibility of years of salary even after the life of the present government. { Retirement Disliked While hnis first reaction was to reâ€" sign the leadership and to refuse a seat in the House, there is more than a strong possibility that Mr. Rowe will be found in the Opposition when the next session of the House opens. Havâ€" ing resigned his Dominion seat, and always having been active in public life, it is said that he would not find reâ€" tirement to his liking. ’ While the next few weeks will probâ€" ably tell the story in detail, there is even at present every indication that a thorough housecleaning is to take place, within the Conservative party. Rumour has it that the organization is to be purged with thoroughness. One thing waits to be seen, and that is whether the reconstruction of the party will commence immediately or whether an interval will be allowed to elapse, in view of the long period in Opposition that faces the party toâ€"day. | To Hold Inquest on Conservative Party Would Start at Once There are those in the party, howâ€" ever, who feel that the right time to prepare for the next election is immeâ€" diately after the last. Whether their views will maintain will have to be left until Mr. Rowe has held his meeting and the Ontario Association has passed judgement thereon. Back in the cold shades of Opposiâ€" tion for four years at least, and possibly five, unless some unforeseen emergency should ~make another election necesâ€" sary, there is a possibility that the orâ€" ganization staff will be reduced to a bare minimum. (From Toronto Teelgram) In an attempt to resurrect it from the exceedingly fine ashes to which it has been reduced, a postâ€"mortem session of the Ontario Liberalâ€"Conservative Asâ€" sociation will likely be held shortly beâ€" fore Christmas, it was learned recently. At least the calling of such a convention will be discussed within a week or two. when Hon. Earl Rowe calls a meeting of his elected and defeated candidates, following his return from a brief holiâ€" day. In sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the last few weeks, there was little activity in Conservative headâ€" quarters toâ€"day. There is just the sad routine of cleaning up after the camâ€" paign. a task which will take a few weeks. Post Mortem Party Likely Before Christmas. THE PORCUPIN® ADVANCE. TTMMINS, ONTARITO Haileybury, Oct. 12.â€"Failing to reâ€" cover from the shock of a fall at the home of her son, Rupert Gagnon, in Cobalt, some weeks ago, Mrs. Damaris Gagnon, who would have celebrated her ninetyâ€"second birthday next Januâ€" ary, is dead at the home of a grandson, Ed Davis, here. Mrs. Gagnon is surâ€" vived by two sons and three daughters in Northern Ontario, and by a fourth daughter in Western Canada. Fourâ€"Leaf Clover Does | Not Always Bring Luck And finally, this one from the news magazine ‘"Time":â€""General â€" Emilio Mola, second in command with the Spanish Rebels, was killed in an airâ€" plane crash. When peasants picked him up, they found he was in his stocking feet. A brother officer explained that a Gypsy had once told the General he wceuld die with his boots on, and he therefore always took his shoes off when in an airplane." Haileybury Woman, 91, Dead as Result of Fall This one from The New York Times: â€""Mrs. Neville Coleman refused to eat at a table set for thirteen people. She waited until the rest were through, and then sat down alone. Halfway through the meal, she was stricken with a fatal heart attack.‘" And this from The Baltimore Sun:â€" "Lightning struck the barn of John Ingram, of Sheridan, Ark., destroying the structure and two mules. Putting faith in the old saw that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, Ingram rebuilt the barn in the same location. Four weeks later lightning again struck the barn, and destroyed it and the new mules." Some weeks ago The Advance reâ€" ferred to a whole yardâ€"full of four and five leaved clover in the Porcupine area, and recalled the idea that to find a fourâ€"leaf clover means good luck. This brought a letter to the effect that the idea went much further, and if you gave away the lucky clover, you gave away your luck, but it would return to you after seven years. Then this week there is a clipping in The Reader‘s Diâ€" gest from The Denver News, reading as follows:â€""Mrs. Willimore Trotter Jones, of Madison, Ga.. has found and saved thousands of fouz â€"leaf? clovers. Nevertheless, she has been in five autoâ€" mobile wrecks, has lost three husbands, and has suffered many misfortunes.
