London, Feb. 8.
Chang Peng-chun, of Nankai verse y, yesterday addressed a largely attended meeʻing of the China Sub-Committee of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons. He dealt fully with the prospect of China in the new phase of the war, which, he said, was about to begin.

They bod also, he said, been tempered by fighting. They were experienced, he added, and consequently, better soldiers.—
