(Associated Press), CHINCHOW, Manchurla, Feb. 22 entire Chlnchow-Peiplao

Railway was in the hands of the Japanese army today, and in the Pelplso terminus they were provid- ed with an excellent roilhead jumping off place ‘for their drive to clear the Chinese forces out of the province oi Jehol.

When General Yoshimichi Suzu- ki's troops marched into Pelpiso yesterday they found the city de- sorted. The railroad tunnel from Nanking a few miles to the east, had been damaged by the Chinese, who also attempted to blow up a bridge t0 check the Japanese ad- vanoe.

From Pelplao the Japanese will move across tho province to the city of Jehol. Thus far, according to army sources, operations have been merely preliminary to the major offensive scheduled to begin on Friday.

Several clashes between Japan- ese and Chinese have taken place in other sectors. The town of Tungliao, Manchurla, about 200 miles north of Chlnchow and close to the border of Jehol, was threat- rned by 2,000 mounted Chinese and

~._ Mongolians. At Kallu, the gateway to Jehol on the northeast, there was additional fighting, and last night a force of Chinese irregulars attacked a Japanese column near Koupangtzu, Manchuria, with nu- merous casualties 0n both sides.

Chinese lrrcgulars in the Tung- liso area were bombed by Japanese airmen who had orders to clear the

Detailed reports of all ecpsrt- ments of the City's business for i932 were presented at the annual meeting of the City Council held last evening with His Worship Mayor Stewart and the full board present. Prior to the receiving of the reports, His Worship in an ad- dress made a number, oi observa- tions on various phases of civic work. The reports of the various departments appear elsewhere ‘ in this issue under separate headings.

Mayor's Address

In his address His Worship stat- ed he would discuss matters of in- terest and importance in City af- fairs for the year 1932. During that year the effect of the business de- pression which reached its max- imum in scverlty was keenly felt for the first time. It had been ne- cesssry to resort to unemployment relief ,and more than $12,000 had been spent for this purpose.

The Mayor in lscussi g f‘ es indicated the amounts oi debent- ures red ‘- and amounts issued and sold for various purposes. With reference to the bank over- draft, His Worship stated that a sum had been placed to the credit of the City as a sinking fund. The practice was not good financing, but it seemed that a sinking fund was necessary. During the last two years the city had paid more than $12,000 to the bankers as interest on the overdraft. This amount could be and would be reduced.
