The advance brought the Japangh- ese within a few miles of the Que. eastern column of the 29th Chinese army, now being reorganized after their defeats at Teintsin and along the line of the railroad to Peiping.

The Japanese advance to the in south was along the Tientsin to own Pukon railroad, the same route the large bodies of troops ordered to the north by the central govund- ernment were said to be following. The Tientsin-Pukow line bisects Shantung province and is the ant Nanking government's direct link with the north. Japanese movement to the south from the general headquarters at Tientsin was the materialIzation of their long expected thrust to gain a deep enough front to assure strategical and military control of Hopeh province.

Mr.

Baron was in his 68th year. Accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. William J. Baron, his son and daughter-in-law, he had gone early yesterday for a day of fishing.

After an active day's sport he complained of feeling tired as he got into the back seat of the car. On the way home, his son noticed that his father was not taking part in the conversation and when he looked around, it seemed to him that his father had dozed off. Upon arrival at 675 Gilmour street, where his father resided, Mr. and Mrs. Baron were unable to arouse him and Dr.

C. T. Bowles was called. Dr. Bowles after an examination pronounced him dead and called Dr.

R. M. Cairns, coroner. Dr. Cairns decided that death was due to natural causes and that no inquest was necessary.

The passing of Mr. Baron will pause keen regret among his wide circle of friends in the Capital. Ever since coming to Ottawa he had been an accountant by profession and up until the time of his death had been with the R. R. Foster firm.

Born at Bolton, Lancashire, England, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Baron, he came to Canada In 1909 and had been a resident of Ottawa since that time.

His wife. the former Emma Rebecca Bagguley, predeceased him on January 1st, 1912. He leaves to mourn his loss, two sons, John and William of Ottawa; four daughters, Mrs. A. G.

Peters, Mrs. R. J. Stockings and Louise and Hilda, all of Ottawa; eight grandchildren, one brother William J. in England; three sisters Mrs.

J. Hulme Mrs. Edwin Willis of Ottawa and Mrs. Bradshaw of England. Prominent in United Church circles, he was a member of Wesley United church.

A keen fraterhalist, he was honorary tyler of Ashlar Lodge, and A.M. and past president of Queen's Own Lodge, Sons of England. He was a well known sportsman and was a prominent- fisherman and his passing will occasion deep regret in sports circles. Pastors Arrested BERLIN, Aug. 1.

Observation planes were said to have flown over Tsinanfu, capital of Shantung province and 200 miles in a direct line south from Tientsin. Authoritative advices said the spearhead of the Chinese advance had reached Techow and that independent units had already crossed the border into Hopeh Hopeh province to bolster the reorganization of the 29th army. The approach of the two armies south of Tientsin turned virtually all sections of Hopeh province into a field of operations. Far to the north Japanese reported Chinese troops from Shansi province were massing at Kalgan beyond the Great Wall. Chinese asserted Japanese planes had bombed the Nankou Pass in the Great Wall 30 miles north of Peiping.

To the southwest of Peiping a large body of Japanese troops were marching against Paotingfu, capital of Hopeh province and concentration point for the western column of the National Chinese armies. Chinese reported the Japanese were advancing behind a screen of aerial bombardment. Within the conquered areas of Peiping and Tientsien Japanese administrative officers were systematically attempting to obliterate vestiges of the Nanking government's influence. Under Japanese direction at Peiping police were conducting a house to house search, destroying pictures of Chinese Nationalist leaders and burning Nationalist literature. Chinese were warned future possession of such things would be considered "incriminating." 24 Lives Lost In Accidents During Week In Ont.
