§ MR. YERBURGH (Chester)I beg to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the message received from Sir Claude MacDonald, an immediate advance cannot be made by the allied troops without waiting for the appointment of a commander-in-chief, and, failing this, whether Japan will not be commissioned to advance alone.
§ *THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordThe latest advices from General Gaselee show that he contemplates an immediate advance, in which he hopes for the co-operation of the allied forces.
