Two Performances to
Be Given Here Today
By Hunf s Three-Ring
Circus; Making Its
49th Annaal Tom
Hey, Skinny! The circus is coming
to town!
That'll be the cry of Rurmville boy
hood when the posters-of the Hunt's
big three ring circus are displayed on
the billboards and in the windows an
nouncing the coming of the circus
Friday, Sept. 26, for one day only on
the Farmville Athletic Field for 2
performances, afternoon at 2 P. 1L,
night at 8 P. M. j
It's the first circus to show in
Farmville this year, and the usual
army of hopeful young elephant
waterers is expected to be on hand
to offer their services in exchange
for free passes, in the same tradition
of their fathers and grandfathers,
before them.
Hunt's is famed for the clever Case
Bros, and Marie, world-celebrated
tight wire walkers and aerial acro
bats. ' ...
Another attraction of the Hunt's
is Dolly the American Patriotic ele
phant who picks out the American
flag from a conglomeration of other
national emblems without fail every
time.
Known by the crown heads of Eu
rope, The Wallace Troup' of tumblers,
are leaders in their field.
The Levine troupe, mother, father,
the first completely motorized circus
in Anveica and the first circus to pro
vide air-conditioned tents for its pat- 1
Six of the most highly educated!'
bucking', riding and bronco horses!?
are the features of the Buck Steele j
WILD WEST Show that winds up c
the circus proper. This show includes '

And last but not least, for the r
benefit of the children and grown dp
kids who never fail to get a kick out
| of clever drew downs, is Charles
Mitchell and his Hippodrome clowns,
with their newest and most modem
stunts in the realm of downdom.
For its forty-ninth annual tour,
Hunt's Three Ring Circus, which 1
comes to Farmville on Sept 26, opens 1
its performance with "Happy Days" 2
termed "a timely pageant of better '
times." - : 1
The spirit of this musical spectacle,
said to be most brilliant in unusual
effects offered, in one of happiness.
It symbolizes the end of the depres- 1
sion and the coming of happier times 1
for everybody.
In its forty-nine years Hunt's Cir- J
cos has steadily grown, until this year '
it presents the finest program it has I
ever offered. The circus not only
features beautiful horses but it also .
(offers as its supreme feature the '
Hiding Hunts with William Wallet, '
generally recognized as one of Am
erica's foremost equestrian numbers.

I NO PEACE APPEARS
?JAPS DEMAND NEW ORDER
? OUTLOOK IS UNCERTAIN
I The idea that the "peace message,"
? sent to President Roosevelt by Pre- I
niere Prince Konoye, of . Japan, in- I
lugurated a new era in the relation- I
ship between the United States and I
Japan should not be accepted without I
lurther confirmation. . I
^| - H
It is generally recognized, however, I
lhat Japan's "immutable policy" is I
now being subjected to violent stress- ?
Is and strains under the impact of il
?American economic policies, the I
strengthening of British forces in the I
War East, Russia's surprising defense
^gainst Germany and firmness in the I
lar East and certain arrangements ?
I being made in and around the Nether- I
lands East Indies and the Philippine I
| It would be a mistake in the first I
I instance to underestimate the serious I
I dilemma in which Tokyo statesmen I
?find themselves. After proclaiming ?
lor years their firm determination to M
Istahlish a "New Order" in East Asia, fl
the Japanese Government,- together H
Iwith Army and Navy leaders, have H
? whipped up war sentiment in Japan. I
I Tokyo statesmen have not hesitat-l
ed to fan the fires of belligerency, I
?speaking glibly of the expulsion of ?
?the Westerners from the East and H
?counting firmly upon the positive I
?support of a victorious Germany and I
Italy in Europe. Now that the situ- IB
ation has developed into a crisis, the II
?Japanese discdver that the odds I
against them are almost insurmount- I
I able. Their Axis ^partners are far I
away and unable to give them assist- I
I Drastic economic sanctions by the I
?United States and a firm policy of ?
assisting China have convinced Tokyo I
I that the United States has definitely I
I abandoned the appeasement policy. I
The British, despite their occupation I
I in Europe, are ready to fight to the II
I and for Singapore. Russian bomb- I
Irs, known to be at Vladivostok, can I
easily reach the heart of Japan prop
Just what ultimate course the Jap- I
inese will follow remains uncertain, II
argely because of the contradictory II
roices presuming to speak for Japan. I
A governmental crisis was avoided I
>v calling upon the Emperor to take I
charge of the Empire's affairs but I
his could be a move toward war, as I
veil as a move towlard peace.
The Japanese Foreign Minister-re- II
:ently spoke on the anniversary of II
he recognition of Manchukuo, the
fepanese Puppet state set up as a II
?esult of the "Manchuiian Incident," [I
m September 18, 1931. In this pub- II
ic utterance, the important Japanese (I
official reiterated the determination II
it his country to establish its "New II
)rder" and pointed to Mun^iilnin as II
m example of what the New Order II
neant^
1
He frankly stressed the fact that I
Japan is confronted with a "super- I
emergency unprecedented in the an- I
nal8 of her history," but carefully ?
refrained from saying anything that I
would indicate the startling reversal
of Japanese policies which must bis I
he prelude to peace in the Pacific. ' I
LEGION'S STRONG STAND.
FOR DEFEAT OF HITLER.?
ABANDON ISOLATIONISM. I
J The American Legion, an organiza
tion devoted 'to 100 per cent Ameri
canism, and boasting more -than ail
million soldiers, sailors, marines and j
been at times something of a noiir
intervention and isolationist group.
-
Meeting recently in Milwaukee,
the Legion, in. annual convention, re
pudicated entirely feuch sentiment and
by official action called fdi the "de
feat of Adolf Hitler and all that he
stands for." This was considered
tantamount to a~ declaration of sup
port of the President's foreign poli
cies.
The Legion favored repeal of the
Neutrality Act, which bars U. S. ships
from war zones, the lifting of geo
graphical limitations on the use of
American troops in line with the re
quest of the Army High Command,
the establishment of naval bases in
the Philippines, Iceland and other
key islands in the' Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans, universal military train
?ing and refused to approve a report
opposing lend-lease aid to Russia.
Generally, the Legion went on
record, "if fighting is necessary" up
on "being prepared to do the fighting
outside ?the United Statee," thus en
dorsing the offensive-type of defense
that is now advocated by leading :
Army and Navy officers. The Legion
wants the nation strong enough to
"meet any possible attack before it
arrives and to tura the enemy bade 5
so that our homes remain intact and
our families secure.99
? ?
\
The meeting of the ? Legion was
generally anticipated as " the first
public reaction to the President's
"shoot on sigHt" order. | The num
bers heard Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox outline the orders issued
to the. warships of the United States
in connection with keeping the ocean
lanes open as far as the waters adja
cent to Iceland. . They received a
message from the President in rela
tion to the grave dangers confronting
the nation.
Oh the eve of the' convention the
America First Committee, an organi
zation militantly opposed to the Pres
ident's foreign policies, held a dem
onstration, at which Rep. Hamilton
Fish and Senator Bennett Champ
Clark assailed the course of the Unit
ed States. Both of these speakers
are members of the Legion and there
were additional spokesmen available
to represent the nor -interventionist
philosophy.
?
The action of the Legion is as . sig
nificant as it is clear-cut The men
who participated in the last World
War, after years of serious consider
ation, have concluded that the inter
ests of the nation* as well as the peace
<rf .<
Adolf Hitler. They have likewise de
cided that the United States hds a di- i
rect interest in the job to be done.

GUN MYSTERY
Washington, Sept. 24?Inhere the
steamer Pink Star goth the gun with
which it was armed when it was tor- 1
pedoed off Iceland last Friday re
mained an'official mystery after Sec- 1
retary of State Hull's press confer- '
ence today. '
Asked if he could say where the
weapon came from, the Secretary re
plied that if the question were suf- 1
ficiently intriguing, he would have to J
inquire in various quarters'himself,
and then he did not know" whether he '
would find out.
The Pink Star was owned by the ')
United States government, but had
been transferred to Panamanian reg
istry. The Neutrality Act forbids I
the arming of a merchant ship fly
ing the United States flag, and pre- i
vents such a ship entering combat
zones. ^
Maritime Commission officials es
timated today that approximately 125 i
American-owned ships now are reg- ,
istered in Panama. About 85 of them
are owned by American companies, i
and the sremaining 40 by the Mari- i
time Commission.

It begins to look like the Russian
Bear hasht heard of the blitzkrieg. .
