"The acting British President,' Mr. Amery con- tinued, ontinued, "then proceeded to Tata in the Yemen territory to open negotiations but found that the Imam's represen- tative there was empowered to carry on an informal.discusslm only and not to negotiate a treaty. Subsequently the Imam was informed that His Ma- jesty's Government were prepared to conclude immediately a brief treaty confined; 1. To the recognition by His Ma- jesty's Government of the Imam's independence in Yemen. 2, Recognition by the Imam of the frontier of the Aden Protectorate with certain modifications in lawfavor and 8. A promise to the Imam of such assistance as His Majesty's Govern- ment could render him within the lira. its of their international obligations. The truce was extended to June 1 to give Imam time to consider this pro- posal. On his asking for a further extension to July 17 the Imam was• informed' that this extension would be given, provided that as an earnest of good faith he evacuated the town of Dhala by Tune 20. This he failed to do. Consequently demonstrtion flights were made and warnings dropped, giv- ing four days' notice, and on June 25 the air action was recommenced. Air actions had been taken in all on 14 several days, including the one on which an attack was delivered on Tale. The -Royal Air Force suffered no casualties during such action. "I should like to repeat that His Majesty's Government are anxious, as they always have been, to come to a settlement with the Imam on honor- able terms which will satisfy the just claims of both parties, and place their future relations on a friendly and neighborly basis.

B,C,-The "Omega,' mysterious monster whioh inhabits Okanagan lake, is again in evidence. During the summer of 1926, it made frequent appearances, always while the weather was hot. Last year, a cool summer, it was seen but seldom. On Friday, July 18, about 5 pan., the Robin patrol of Girl Guides and Miss L, Price, nurse of the 22nd I.O,D.H1., Girl Guides, had a good view of the monster which was disporting itself in Otter Bay. The lake was very clear at the time and Miss Price, who was sitting on the beach, observed a motion In the water to the north of the camp. In a few minutes a long creature swam swiftly from the rocky points across the bay In a southerly direction. According to Miss Price and the members of the Robin patrol, it was between 40 and 45 feet in length and swam with an undulating motion. The shouts of the girls hrought all the Guides to the scene but by the time French, Spanish, British and they arrived only the ripples could Italian Delegates Agree Paris. -Delegates of Franca, Spain, England and Italy recently signed the Tangiers pact which adjusts the dis- pute, cautsed chiefly by Italy'- desire Even after the government decided for more power in the administration to be more generous with the dis- of the Tangiers zone, over the division tinguished "Forty" Frenchmen they of authority in the international port. reooived the same 010 pay cheques French sources were delighted by for awhile, until one day Prime Min- the amicable agreement reached since inter' Poincaire, who is a member of ( at provides definitely that the port the Academy, caw to 1t that the over- I shall not be fortified and cannot be sight of the state treasury was' recti. controlled by a single nation, fled.This was the chief point upon which The allowances of the Immortals ('Great Britain insisted throughout, were fixed by the Revolution.

The soldier evangelist, Gen, Chang Chill -Chiang, once one of Feng's leading generals, has retired from military life and recently con- ducted onducted evangelistic 'campaigns in Ningpo. Marshal Feng was converted! to Christianity in 1918 while he wail, commander of a mixed brigade in the Republican armies. Three years bei fore he had become a regimental corn mander under the Manchus, the first important military position he held. The spotlight of international interest was turned on him when he became. a professed Christian after attending meetings conducted by Dr. John R. Mott, head of the International Y. M. '. C. A, RAPID RISE TO POWER. In following years he rose rapidly to power. After holding important positions in Anhwei, Szechwan and Henan Provinces, he became inspector general of the national army in 1923, with headquarters in Peking and with the rank of a general and later mar- shal. In 1924 Marshal Feng opposed con- tinuance of the war between Wu Pei - Fu and Chang Tso-Lin. He returned suddenly from Jegol, where he had been sent by his chief, Wu Pei -Fu, seized Peking and hastened Wu's de- feat. He ejected the boy emperor from the palace at Peking and set up Tuan Chi-Jui as provisional president. At that time most of Marshal Feng's soldiers were professed Chris- tians and they returned to Peking singing gospel hymns. They were forbidden to smoke, play cards or . drink and the troops were agreed to be the best disciplined of all Chinese armies. During the latter part of 1925 and early part of 1926 Marshal Feng was attacked by Chang Tso-Lin, defeated and compelled to leave Peking. He retired with his armies to the north- west territory and later announced he had retired from Chinese war and politics. Shortly thereafter he visited Moscow, his only visit abroad.

It is since that .time that the question of whether he re, mains a Clu•istian has been brought up. A CHANGED MAN. Missionaries who have seen him since his return admit he is a changed man. They say he at least is not the militant Christian he once was. The nucleus of his army remain Chris- tians, but the new troops have not been converted. Feng's generals have remained loyal to him despite that Feng often has been accused of betraying some of his own superiors. The feat of Feng's subordinate generals in keeping to- gether the army which left Peking in 1926 is regarded as remarkable. It is estimated these troops have marched more than 3,000 miles and often they had no pay for months and even years. Marshal Feng's reputation for, dis- ciplining his troops has suffered' seri- ously recently due to the'fact.he has enlisted several former bandit groups. A group of them was responsible for the murder of the American mission- ary, Dr. Seymour at Tsinan this spring. It has been reported persistently that Soviet Russia has supported Mar- shal Feng for years. The former So- viet ambassador in Peking, Leon Kar- akhan, told the writer in 1925. that Moscow considered Marshal Feng as China's greatest hope Marshal Feng's return to power in- terests all the countries close to China. He repeatedly has declared hostility to Japan and the Japanese, Often he has been accused of being anti -foreign, although missionaries claimed this feeling really was pro -China. His for- eign friends have been Soviet Russians and Americans.
