WHAT'S GOING ON NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Graf Zeppelin Arrives at Lakehurst, Completing Trip Around World. ?y EDWARD W. PICKARD WITH Its urrlviil at I.akehurst, N. J., the Graf Zeppelin completed Its epochal trip around the world. In the course of which only three stops were made for refueling?at Fried - rlclishnfen, Tokyo and Los Angeles. The Zeppelin made a snooth land ing at 8:07 o'clock Thursday morning, having circled the globe In 21 days and 7 hours, breaking all prevlods records. It had flown approximately 20,000 miles and was in the air about eleven and one-half days. While the huge dirigible displayed most excellent qualities in the way of safety, speed and cruising ability, the lion's share of the credit for the feat must be given to Dr. Hu&o Eckener, the airship's Indomitable commander and chief pilot. His passengers and <rew are giving him unstinted praise for the skill he showed throughout the globe-encircling trip. Every southern Californian who could get there greeted the Zeppelin at Los Angeles, which was reached on Monday after a flight across the Pacific enlivened only by an electric storm encountered soon after the de parture from Tokyo. As it passed down the California coast the airship on Sunday had circled over San Fran cisco. The getaway from I>os Angeles was not easy and quantities of ballast ahd extra equipment had to be dumped to give it enough lifting power. As it was, the dirigible barely avoided run ning Into a network of high power electric wires near Mines field. An interesting story comes from Japan to the effect that the Zeppelin's safe crossing of the Pacific prevented the "seppuka" or suicidal atonement of the five officers and twelve enlisted men of the Japanese navy who held themselves blameable for the slight accident that the airship suffered in heing taken from the hangar at Kas tjraigaura airport Such action by the Japanese would have been In accord with their ancient custom, and the ? wives of the men might have followed them In death. CLEVELAND was "up In the air" all week, enjoying the airplane tares and exhibitions of flying and the big aircraft exposition. Among the star attractions was Mrs. Louise McPhetridge Thaden of Pittsburgh, who won the women's derby that start eel at Santa Monica. Fifteen ofr the nineteen ladybirds who sturted fin ished the nice. Marvel Crosson was killed, as related last week, and three othess were forced out by mishaps. Glud.vs O'Donnell of Long Beach, Calif., won second place and Amelia Earhart, transatlantic flyer, was third. Colonel Lindbergh and his wife, who Is now a student flyer, were interested and interesting visitors. The United States will have no rep resentative in the Schneider cup races in England, for Lieut. Aiford Williams was unable to complete the tests of his plane in time and withdrew. Italy's best racing flyc?, Captain Motto, was killed while testing one of his planes, and the British were asked on that account to i*>stpone tlie races, but re fused because the financial sacrifices would be too great. ?C* ROM Dan to Beersheba," and a " great deal farther in all direc tions, Palestine and the neighboring countries were aflame with revolt. Arabs were massacreing Jews in a score of cities, towns und villages, the native police and military forces were impotent, and Great Britain was rushing warships, troops, marines r.nd airplanes to the lloly Land to restore peace If possible. * The trouble, which has been simmer ing for months, broke out with clashes between Arabs and Jews in Jerusalem, especially at the Wailing Wall where Jews have prayed for centuries, nnd which is the last remaining fragment of 8olomon's temple. The rioting spread rapidly, to the Siaboka rab binical college and a Jewish school at Hebron, where the Jews killed In cluded a number of Americans, and then to many other places In Pales tine. Latest reports, made indefinite by strict press censorship, said the Arabs of Trunsjordinla and Syria were rising in revolt, demanding their "com plete rights*' and the abrogation of European control in those lands. Upon Great Britain fell the burden of meet ing the situation, and she responded swiftly. Her troop carrying planes car ried hundreds of soldiers from the Palestine ports inland, and her bomb ing planes went into operation against the Arabs at Jerusalem and elsewhere. At Haifa, where Arabs were attack ing the Jewish quarter, the British marines were said to have fired on both Aifibs and Jews, killing and woundiag many. Leaders of American Jewish organi zations called on President Hoover and Secretary Stlmson and asked that they take every necessary step to protect the lives and property of American na tionals. They were assured of the deep sympathy of both Mr. Hoo%*er and Mr. Stimson for the Palestine sufferers and were told that Great Britain was doing everything possible to restore tranquil conditions. Then they called on Sir Esme Howard, British ambas sador, and were given the same as surance by him. GERMANY'S five creditor nations reached a tentative agreement by which Great Britain would get some thing like 80 per cent of the demands set forth by Chancellor of the Ex I chequer Philip Snowden, and it looked as if the conference at The Hague would be successful. Then Gustav Stresemann. German foreign minister, spoiled it all by announcing that Ger many could not make the sacrifices called for by the arrangement and would not surrender Its share In the surplus of the Dawes plan payments between April and September of this I year over the payments called for by | the Young plan. He said the Germans, ' in the Paris conference, had gone to I the limit of their country's possibili ties when they accepted the schedule [ of annuities under the Young plan. I They were now asked to make another sacrifice In order to facilitate an ac cord among the creditors as to the distribution of reparations money which after all does not concern the German government. Broadly the agreement reached by the creditor nations and Great Brit ain gave the London government 40. UW.UUU marKs oui 01 w,uw,uw ushcu (about $9,000,000, against $11,040,000). Of the 40,000,000 marks, 30,000,000 were said to represent unconditional commerclallzable German annuities, nearly all of which had been allotted to France In the Paris dra#t of the Young plan. The third phase of the agreement was concessions to Britain In payment in kind. Among these was the agreement by Italy to buy an ad ditional 1.000.000 tons of British coat annually for three years for the state railroads on the reparations account. ??T INCOLN the Debater," a bronze ?L' statue of heroic size, was un veiled at Freeport, 111., the scene of the most famous of the Lincoln-Doug las debates In August, 1858. Ten thousand persons attended the cere monies and listened to Senator George IV. Norrls, who delivered the chief ad dress. The Nebraskan took the oppor tunity to make a hot attack on the electric power trust, the system of Presidential elections, the abuse of power by federal Judges and the build ing of big armies and navies. Duriog the 1928 Presidential campaign. Sen ator Norrls was mentioned as a possi ble third party candidate. Referring to the present system of electing Pres idents, he charged that election of an independent candidate for President Is possible In theory but absolutely Im possible In practice. He argued that the electoral college should be abol ished. Lawrence d. ttson, cmted States senator from Tennessee, died In a sanitarium near Philadelphia where te had been under treatment for several weeks. He was Just com pleting his first term In the senate. Tyson was bom In Greenville, S. C_ sixty-seven 3ears ago and was gradu ated from West Point In 1883. While commander of cadets at the Univer sity of Tennessee he studied law and later practiced In Knoxvtlle. He served as s colonel of volunteers In the Span ish-American war and then went Into the Tennessee legislature. During the World war be distinguished himself as a brigadier general commanding n brigade of Tennessee and Carolina troops attached to the "Old Hickory" division, which saw service In France. One of the outstanding German fig ures In the World war. Field Marshal Mman von Sunders, passed away in Munich. He was the cavalry officer to whom Mohammed Iteshid V, sultun of Turkey, by arrangement with Kaiser William II. intrusted In 1913 the reorganization of the Turkish army. He remained In the Turkish de fenses at Gallipoli in 1915 and after the British retirement organized the Turkish fighting forces In Asia Minor ! and conducted operations in 1918 in j Palestine. The Turkish debacle, how ever, nullified his efforts. CHINA and Russia seemed to be marking time Inst week in their i Mnnchurian quarrel, though the prop- I Uganda agencies of both nations were active. The Soviet radio station broad casting from Khabarovnk, Siberia, kept telling the Chinese that America and France were plotting to set up an International commission to control | the Chinese Eastern railway, and con- | slderable anti-American feeling was created In Harbin until the newspa pers there printed a true statement concerning President Hoover's efforts \ under the Kellogg pact to prevent a j Sino-Russian war. There was another bloody outbreak | of the Mongolian Nomads in western i Manchuria, scores of Chinese being slain, and naturally the Chinese au thorities blamed the Russians for in stigating It. Extreme heat of defective shells i caused an explosion that destroyed the Chinese government's largest ar senals in Nanking and the conflagra- j tlon spread to other buildings. The property damage was estimated at $1,500,000. Governors of the public lands states held a conference in Salt I ^Lake City and received a message , from President Hoover In which he f suggested that the surface rights of remaining unappropriated public lands should be transferred to the states. Western senators In Washington heard this proposition with surprise and dis favor, look lug on It as somewhat of a gold brick. Inasmuch as the mineral rights which the President would re tain in the hands of the federal gov ernment furnish the revenues which me pUDUC lliuu Biuitrs ions IIU'17 wished to get hold of. They contended that the revenues from the surface rights would be Insignificant. As Sen ator Borah said, those lands are "chief ly desert and mountain territory and a Jack rabbit could hardly live or them." SOVIET peoples commissars have adopted a three shift day and seven-day week for Russian In dustry, according to the Moscow Is vestia. According to the plan each worker gets every fifth day free, but various shifts In the factories will keep producing day and night. The factories will only be closed five times a year for the observance of the greatest revolutionary holidays. Besides abol ishing Sunday completely and destroy ing the Influence of the religious ?cts on the working class, the Isvestla finds the new plan will also assist commun ism and destroy the old forms of life. Even the family will be abolished and the workers will live In socialized houses with perhaps a segregation of the sczes. IF THE prohibition law is to be en forced In New York city, the federal authorities must do all the enforcing, according to Police Commissioner Gro Ter A. Whalen. After a conference with county prosecutors, magistrates and police officers, the commissioner notified Federal Prohibition Adminis trator Campbell of that dlstrist that he flatly refused to take the responsi bility for local dry enforcement lie also refused to order the police to proceed against speakeasies under the state nuisance law. t "If you are unwilling to discharge your sworn obligations to the federal government," Mr. Whalen said, "or wish to make a confession of your In ability to effectively direct the activ ities of your department, for which a large proportion of a $30,000,000 ap propriation Is alloted, the admission should be primarily to your superiors In Washington Instead of 'passing the buck' to the state law enforcing offi cers." Railroads in Yugoslavia Financed by Americans Although sll railroads la Tugo-Slsvls are state-owned and state-built, a de parture has been made by the Pos hareantz district government, which has, with permission of the minister of finance, concluded a loan with an American group for the construction of railways In its area. The loan amounts to $,">,000,000 par value. Interest will be at 7 per cent, which Is considered moderate In view of financial conditions. The money will bo used for a normal-gauge line from Pozharevats to the Danube, which will later be Joined by a bridge wltb the Rumanian railway syatem and will provide a new link between western Europe, Belgrade and Ru mania. A narrow gauge line will also be built to Join Pozhareratz wltb the narrow gauge system of western Ser bia and Bosnia, and this will glve'.he Danube basin s new outlet to the Adri atic through the ports of Dubrovntk and the Kotor estuary. This loan Is regarded as another In dication of the great interest which foreign money ia beginning to take In Yugo-Slavla which haa vast potential wealth awaiting capital. The French i are draining marshes and exploiting water power; the British hare offered loans fur the construction of electric generating stations, for the paring and drainage of Belgrade and for railway construction; Germans are building the Panchero bridge, which, when com pleted, will be the longest span over the Danube. | THE I f HEATHER ? I IN BLOOM I (SB by O. J. W?Uh) Ellen Wallace fastened the qunlnt old amethyst brooch carefully and ber husband re corded her with satisfaction. "You look nice, Ellen," he remarked, eyeing the smooth black silk gown, severely plain but of the best qual ity, and her soft bands of sllvery whlte hair. "Mow I wish I could take you over to Edinburgh; there are"? his voice held a note of pathos? "some of the old friends left. I'd like to show you Edinburgh castle by mponllght I remember one night I was In the hotel across the street from the gardens that lie Just below the hilt that Is topped by the pile of gray stones and?" Ellen plnkened. She glanced sharp ly at the pile of gnyly tinted travel folderg that the old man had been studying. "Eric, you are getting rest less. Ever since that $2,000 wns left me you have wanted to squander It on foreign travel. Of course"?her voice softened as she regarded the lean, lined face of the old Scotchman ?"that queer place with the steep hills paved with rongh cobble-stones and the outlandish people with their kilts and bagpipes will always seem like home to you and I'd like to see old Bruce who lives alone on the heath with his collie dog for com pany, but 1 can't defraud my kin. Dick Is my brother's son and I want to leave that $2,000 to him Intact." Eric sighed as she talked. It wns true. Ever since the money had so unexpectedly arrived he bad been thinking of Bonny Scotland. An al most uncontrollable homesickness for his birthplace had seized him and he longed to feel the deck of an ocean liner beneath his feet and hear the watch boom out the bells. "It Is your money, Ellen, but do you think that Dick really needs It? We have only a few years left at most and he Is young. With youth one has enthu slnsm?a future?the old have only their memories." "Dick will do better soon," defend ed Ellen, although there was an edd dubiousness In her mind even as she spoke. "Sometimes I feel that Lucy must be extravagant or possibly quar relsome for they?" can; ikiuucu cuiiipreiieuuiugiy nn Ellen's loyalty prevented further crit icism of her kin, but he smiled In wardly as he listened to her belief In the Inlaw's culpability. I.ucy was only a niece by marriage, consefluent ly she must be at fault. Eric was con vinced that Dick, the In-law to him. was worthless, lazy young fellow, who would probably never amount to anything, but he knew to voice bis belief to Ellen would bring down a storm of angry words and would really grieve her. Therefore, he puffed nwny at his pipe and resumed his study of the fasclnntlng travel fold ers. Two thousand dollars would give them a year abroad. "If I could only earn some money," thought the old captain restlessly, but the empty sleeve precluded such ambitions. Ellen went on her way, but so per turbed was she from the thoughts aroused by Eric's speech tbal she completely forgot to telephone, accord ing to ber Invariable custom, to I.ucy announcing ber arrival. I.ucy lived at the other end of the town, and Ellen hated to go Into a drug store and spend the necessary nickel. Long habits of thrift remained with her and a nickel dropped Into an outside telephone seemed wasteful to ber. She wanted to leave Dick as mnch as possible. "How they will enjoy our little cottage when we are through with It," she reflected tenderly. Every board and nail In the tiny place was surrounded by old memories of their happy youth. Eric had been the kind est of husbands and had worked and cherished ber with all his strength. Most of the cottage had been built by his own hands?before the loss of the left arm. Here her sparkling blue eyes dimmed as she remembered his grief at having to give up active work to depend solely on his pension. This with the cottage sufficed, for they were accustomed to plain living, but aow doubts assailed her as she re called the longing In his face when 3e spoke of Scotland and his kins men. After all the money had been left to them to use and he wanted to travel. She remembered a time when the had craved a plush coat, although ber dark cloth Jacket was perfectly good. Eric had worked nights and earned enough to surprise her with the plush garment, and on ber wed ding anniversary she bad worn the warm, sllk-llned coat that enveloped ber with fragrant warmth. She was torn with doubts as she went up the steps of the rented house where Dick lived. The place looked shabby and uncared for, greatly In contrast with Ellen's neat cottage. "1 would love to cross the ocean," the thought wistfully, Eric's wander lust hail seised ber, but duty looked grimly uliead. "I tell you I won't go and call on the Smith's baby. 1 don't cure IT they do gel another doctor. The old woman can't lust forever and that ?2,0UO wll, go a long way. Why should I wear myself nut walking and working. The world owes me a Using. 1'in sorry I let her 8[>end all that money to put me through medical college. I hate the work. When she drops off I'll buy a racing car and?" Ellen's veined hand wus pressed closely ngnlst Iter heart. Dick's voice, rough and shrill with anger, flouted out front the open window and het breath came In little gasps. The pounding In her ears dulled his voice, but her extraordinarily sharp ears still heard clearly above the sound of her heartbeats. "I wish," cried l.ucy fbrlornly. "that you had no money coming to you; then you might brace up nnd make n living the same as other men do Here wo are In this run down house with no prospects because you ex pect to step Into the dear little cot tnge that your uncle built himself?" There was an ugly snarl In Dick's laugh. "Dear little cottage." he mocked. "Do you think you're ever going to settle down In that? The Inheritance will he absolutely mine nnd you'll never use that. I'll sell It the minute I get the place. Uouses are at n premium now. I know a sure thing that I'll het that?" Ellen could not see the steps foi the blinding tears that clouded her vision. Stumbllngly she hurried down the street and Into the drug store nt the corner, where she went to the phone booth. "Eric, corne down here nnd get me." she said when Ills pleasant voice an swered. "I?have had sort of a shock ?take core of those travel folders because?" Here a tiny ripple of Joy ran through her halting speech. After all It was not too late. She could give Eric f.ls heart's desire with no thought of duty to Intervene. "We arc going to Scotland very soon, and Eric" ?unconsciously her hand was pressed against her heart?"1 misjudged Lucy. Our little home shall be left to her Instead of?that Is"?a new hesitancy crept Into her tone, she bad discovered that her Judgment was not Infallible ?"If you think besL" "Whatever you like," he returned as he always did. "Ellen. I'll bring the folders with me. Think, I'll be able to show yon the Scotch henthei In bloom on the hillside." Too Bad The auditor of one of the big pic lure companies had come out from New York to give the studio pay roll Its annual pruning, fie went down the list, department by department, noting with a smile the names of his many friends, finally he hit one de partment which boasted two unfa miliar names. "What ure these two names doing on your pay roll?" he asked the head of the department, poising his blue pencil In air. "'Them two?' repeated the head ot the department. 'Oh, tlicra are the guys whnt do the work.'"?Los An gcles Times. ? Egg Oddly Prawnid Why un egg burled 12 years should have remained fresh nntll It was dug up Is Interesting Fayelte City, I's. The egg was unearthed In a cemetery by Frank Lowers and N. E. Murphy while they were replacing the head stone over the grave of I'leree Ken doll. Knowing that It must have lain under the stone since the burial 12 years ago, they saved It for eiaml nation.

True Heroism Heroism Is the brilliant triumph nl the soul over the flesh, that Is lo say over fear; fear of poverty, of suffer ing. of calumny, of Illness of lonell ness and of ?tenth.

Society. Washington. D. C-l MANCHURIA, whose Important east-west railway, the Chi nese Knstern, has been the bone of contention between China and Itussla, is an empire In It self. The state of Texas along with New York and Pennsylvania might be Qttcd Into Manchuria and still leave enough room for New Jersey. In this domain of vast size Is a mixed popu lation of Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and Itusslans which numbers between ?JO,000,000 and 2.1^00,000. So near to China's swarming deltas and Japan's overcrowded Islands, it Is still a land of great open spaces. This Is a sig nificant fact In Manchuria politics. For a while Japan and China com peted by sending in streams of Immi grants; but In late years the Chinese stream has become dominant owlr.g to Its lower scale of living. This northern dependency of China Is shaped like a gltyit Jaw tooth whose roots touch the Great Wull where It reaches the sen and whose crown forms the south bnnk of the Amur river. This tooth Is the wedge which separates liussla and Mongolia on the one side and Japanese Korea and the narrow strip of Russian territory along the Sea of Japan on the other. It Is a land where empires meet, and. having met, build railroads. Manchuria Is better served In the matter of railway lines than any other part of China. After the treaty of Portsmouth, which ended the Russo Japanese war, the railways were di vided. Japan took over matters In the root of the tooth nnd Russia those In the crown. So It stood until s few weeks ago when the Chinese ousted Russian railway officials and seized the line. Japan still maintains her own rights In the leasee] territory surrounding Port Arthur and Dalren nnd along the railway concession run ning north almost to riarhln. Dalren, Manchuria's chief seaport, has been largely Japanese built and resembles other cities of Japan ex cept that It Is worked out on a more modern and magnificent scale. Its docks and harbor equipment are com parable with the great seaports of the world. Harbin, the metropolis of the north. Is purely Russian. It lies on the bonks of the Sungarl river at the point of change from trans-Siberian trains to the southern connections with Pelplng and Tokyo. Ilarbln dow shel ters great numbers of exiles from the old regime In Russia. Mukdan ths Focal Point. Mukden, the provincial capital, lies In the plains of central Manchuria and Is the focal point of three empires, ?ere the Chinese and Japanese nnd Europeans each have their distinct cities, three In one. Modern Japanese business and residential blocks sur round the railway station where the traveler from Chosen (Korea) or iPelpIng alights. A disreputable ve hicle with lines reminiscent of old Russia bears the tourist through a straggling European quarter to the gates of tho blgh-walled Chinese city two miles away. Japanese, Russians and Chinese meet but do not mingle. The Japanese quarter Is a splendid example of colonial efficiency. Streets are straight, broad and hard paved. Bazaars are filled with the latest prod ucts from Japanese farms and fac tories?luscious yellow persimmons, dainty ten sets, and gorgeous flowered cotton kimono cloth done up In one garment bolts. There are hospitals, schools and police stations, electric lighted and presided over by tbe lat est products of the Imperial educa tional system. Over the railway sta tion Is an excellent European style hotel, complete with brass beds and tils baths. A short drive In tbe rickety Russian drosklc and all Is changed. The air grows heavier with strange odors. Gray brick Russian houses straggle along a bumpy road bordered by open drains, with millet and sweet potato fields stretching beyond. Occasional recently built Chinese structures give / me appearance ui m-w pannes uu au ancient garment Tlila is the so-called International settlement and Is well named. Wretched looking while Itusslan refu gees abound. Korean women smoke their pipes tn half-open doorways. Occasionally European consular compounds form Islands of respecta bility; the American consulate, oc cupying a series of large and gaudy temple buildings, being particularly Imposing, while a stately Georgian structure upholds Die dignity of Great Britain. Suddenly the carriage winds through a towered and tortuously curved gate way in the wall of the Chinese city. Uneasy smells increase into a distinct malodorous certainty. One-storied gray brick, gray tiled houses line a deeply rutted roadway. Blue cotton clothes are worn with llie monotony of uniforms. Cheerful, unwashed yel low faces (low past In continuous streams. Perpetual and strident bar gaining Nils tlie nlr. Coal halls, sweat cukes. fly swatters and bolllDg tea wa ter are hawked with shrill cries and ringing bells Given Up to Trade. Such Is the ancient Mancliu capital from which the dynastic throne wus moved to 1'elplng In the Seventeenth century, after the Manchu conquest of Chlnn. The huge palace of the suc cessors of Genghis Khnn still dom inates the city with Its gaudy emptl ness, and tombs of Mancho rulers with columned halls and curving eves brood la lonely magnltlcence In for ests outside the city walls. These few heirlooms from s his toric past lie like rolled jewels In the mud colored monotony of a dirty com mercial city. Modern Mukden Is whol ly absorbed In trade. I.ylng In the center of a rich agricultural plain, It forms the meeting point of two great railway systems. One. running east and west, connects Tokyo nnd Chosen (Korea) with Pelping; the other north and sonth Joins Port Arthur and Dnlren to the Trans Siberian railway. A monument to Its commercial Im portance as well as to falleD soldiers Is the modest war memorial of the Japanese heroes who fell In the his toric battle of Mukden during the Russo-Japanese war. Manchuria, like New England. Is the land of the bean, this time the soy bean. Beans, bean oil, and bean cake, or leavings from the oil presses, are chief exports. The soy bean's rise from obscurity, only 20 years ago, to Its present Im portance. Is a wonder of modern com merce. Today Its products, manufac tured by the wholesale at Mukden, are shipped all over the world. Not only does the soy bean provide a sauce which Is the Worcestershire of China, bnt It also masquerades as cheese, candy, fertilizer, floor, and oil for lighting and lubricating. The Japanese nse It widely as the basis of confectionery. In this form It Is highly palatable and the Japanese consider their rnDdles and pastries more wholesome than ours?Indeed they are appalled by the quantity of sugar which Americans consume. Dairen, just north of Port Arthur, on the I.laotung peninsula, exported In one year nearly 150,000 tons of bean oil, nnd most of this came direct to the United .States. Many of the ulti mate consumers thereof probably were no mote aware that soy bean oil was the basis of a delicious mayonnaise dressing than that bair-seal oil was an Important Ingredient of the bonbons they ate after dluner. Tbe region generally referred to as Manchuria really comprises three provinces of China, which are Tsltslk har, Klrln and Llaotung. Tbe latter, which also Is known as Shlng-Klng or Fengtien, Is the most southerly. Chinese In Manchuria are, as a rule, not nutlve sons. Tbey have Immigrat ed hitljer from all parts of China, driven front their homes by war and (amine. The recent shortage of food and political turmoil In Shantung have sent millions of farmers and is borers from that province slope,
