7.\u2014\u2018Severance of relations between Peking and Moscow' w\u2019>!l be .regarded ns probable in quarters today, as a consequence of yentorday\u2019s raid on several buildings near the Soviet Ewbassy in Peking.Tlie authorities of the Ankuochun, or Allied Northern armies, stated that t\u2019 e raid produced \u201coverwhelming evidence\u201d that the Soviet Union was deeply involved in plots to overthrew law and order in North It was learned that Dr.Wellington Koo, acting premier and foreign nvinfe.te of the Peking Kovenmmt, ut Miarsllial Chang Tso-Lin\u2019s reque t I \u2019.id drafted a protest to the Soviet Charge d\u2019Affairas, accusing the embassy of sheltering criminal plotters who wqre attempting to undermine the authority of the government.The promises raided included the pM.hl (Soviet) bank, the Eastern Railway building, and \u2022 \u2019'ui'lding (o.-morly used by the Russian legation guards in Cznrist days.It is under.;tood that dniring continuation of the setiirch last night 200 pistols 'veto found, (':>mment has been arouesd by the lift that while the raid was being ftrigfd by the Northern soldiers, fire tcoke out in one of the building:.An unconfirmed report was '-.non oYcu\u2019fl.'ed that the building was set afire deliberately in order to pre-vrrit reC'Ordl-i falling in the hands of raiding party'.The fire was cx-\u2018.inguished before much damage was done.TWENTY-TWO RUSSIANS WERE ARRESTED IN RAID (Associated Press Despatch) PtONiDCiN, Alpri-l.7.\u2014 'Reuters Peking corresnondent, diseuasing the technical official point that the area raided yesterday by the Northern authorities in Peking was not the Soviet embassy proper, says (hat it was pointed out in Peking that the Soviet flag was not flying over the embassy yesterday, hut over the part, raided.rive repairs which would be necessary to the present bridge.The City' Council, however, has not the final say in the matter.The proposal must be submitted to the people and a by-law, providing for the necessary cost of a new bridge, must be approved by the rate-payers.According to the rumors which were beard this morning, and* which are believed to be well-founded, a jr.otice of motion of a by-law will be given at the next regular meeting of the City Council.In the meantime the city engineer will prepare plans of the approach and piers.Tenders will also be called for and all preparation's will be made to leave the matter brought before the public.It is the general belief that such a by-law would meet with the approval of the rate-payers.The amount involved for the erection of a new' bridge would be considerable, y'et the reports of three different engineers have stated that the present condition cf Aylmer Bridge is not Mti-sfactbry.The cost of making the necessary repairs would also bo considerable and there Would still je-main an old bridge when finished.Bast Sherbrooke haS: within its \u2022borders Sherbrooke\u2019s tfeçee hospitals and many schools, which all need special protection.The bridge used at tlie present time is very narrow, and with the street car tracks and sidewalks, leaves little space for vehicles.W\u2019iifh a new bridge this space could be much increased and a structure could be put up which would meet the demands of traffic for many years to come.\u2014Industrial Development in Canada Believed to Be Responsible.[ ®
