DISTURBED OF THE PEACE. CHINA CITES JAPAN. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received January 20, 10.35 a.m. SHANGHAI, Jan. 19. The Japanese have checked the Chinese advance on Wuhu. Hong Kong reports that Madame Chiang Kai-Shek has confirmed the creation of a Supreme War Council under Marshal Kai-Shek’s control to intensify the campaign against the Japanese. The Chinese Government has issued a statement citing Japan as a disturber of international peace, and assers that China’s desire for peace is unchanged, but she will not tolerate any encroachment on her sovereignty. China considers all acts established under the Japanese occupation null and void, externally and internally. Meanwhile, at Tokio, Prince Konoye told journalists he saw no possibility of resuming the talks with Britain, who was adopting a more realistic attitude towards the present situation, Therefore, it was not necessary to take a serious view of the question of imports of British arms into China. The Domei News Agency says panic was created in the foreign colony in Tokio by the decision of 64 of their Chinese cooks to return home with the Chinese Ambassador.
