News Review of Current \ Events the World Over Japanese Defeat Chinese in Bloody Battle While League Council and Dawes Seek Road \ to Peace. \ V'" " By EDWARD W. PICKARD HOW to bring to an end the unoffi cial war between Japan and China was the problem that was taken up again by the council of the - League of Nations at Its meet ing In Paris. And, co incldentally, there was the Job of extricating the league from the unpleasant situation created by Japan's flat refusal to obey Its orders. The distin guished diplomats were aided In their task by Ambassador Dawes, who was In structed to proceed from London to act as American observer. t? uuc me cuuucii uiacussea, aeuai ed and conferred, the Japanese troops went right along with their program In Manchuria. Oen. Ma Chan-shan. commander of the Chinese army In Hellungklang province, was ordered by General Honjo, Japanese com mander, to withdraw his troops from Anganchl and Tsltslhar, the latter the capital of the province. Ma refused to obey and the Japanese opened a fierce attack with nil arms, including bombing planes which dispersed the Chinese cavalry. In bitterly cold weather the battle ruged for many hours and the Chinese were finally forced out of both the cities named. In this operation the Japanese troops advanced within the sphere of Influ ence of Soviet Russia for the first time, and as Moscow had warned them against doing this, it was be lieved the result might be momen tous. In this big battle along the NonnI river bpth sides were reported to have sustained heavy casualties. Anticipating a Russian protest, Japan notified Moscow that It held the Chinese Eastern railway partly responsible for the hostilities because It had transported Chinese troops. IN PARIS General Dawes was much more than an observer. Indeed, he was the central figure and It was hoped that In his talks with Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japanese ambassador to London, a compromise might be worked out. Dawes also had a long conversation with Dr. Alfred Sze, Chi nese delegate, which both of them said was most profitable. There were ru mors that the United States had come to the conclusion thnt Japan's conten tions should be upheld, and the league officials were worried. But these stories were refuted by a statement from Secretary of State Stlmson to the effect that the United Stales stood firmly on the question of treaties and had not thus far committed Itself In any way. Dawes and the council were trying to gather the real facts In the controversy, and Japan was asked to state In detail lust what she demand ed from China. There was a report that Dawes and Sir John Simon, Brit ish foreign minister, were contemplat ing Invoking the nine power treaty signed at Washington In 1922. Arlstlde Brland, president of the council, though exhausted to the point of Illness, was as bnsy as Dawes, es pecially In negotiations with KenklchI Yoshlzawa, the Japanese delegate and his close friend. * rum x* aiming en me two important Items of news. One was that the Kudmlntnng congress had declared In favor of war on Japan In case the league shonld fall to settle the quar rel. The other was the statement of the Nationalist government that It would regard any Manchurlan govern ment headed by Hsuan Tung, former emperor, otherwise Henry Pu-yl, as a "seditious institution" and wonld re pudiate all its acts. Hsuan Tnng was taken to Mukden by the Japanese, who presumably intended to make him ? puppet emperor of that country, but what had become of htm was un known. He was said to hare declared be would commit suicide rather than serve as a tool of Japan. GERMANY and France, represent ed by Secretary of State Buelow and M. Brland, reached an agreement on the formula by which the Germans should call for a moratorium on repar ations under the terms of the Young plan, and the text of the request was presented to the world bank at Basel after the American and British repre sentatives In Berlin had been shown the letter. The German government asks tbe world bank and the inter nktlonal powers to Investigate her ability to pay tbe reparations and to help Germany formulate a plan to pay her private debts. The latest re port of the Relchsbank shows that de spite a favorable trade balance achieved by Germnny In October, the Relchsbank Is still very short of for eign currency. DRESIDENT HOOVER announced * that ho had accepted the resigna tion of Henry P. Fletcher as chair man of the federal tariff commission to take effect on Novenjber 30. Mr. Fletcher some time ago indicated Ids wish to resign, but at the President's request remained In office. He had served since the commission's organi zation, 14 months ago. In submitting his resignation Mr. Fletcher appended a report of the commission's work, showing that by November 30 its docket would bo cleared of all applications and senate requests for Information. WHEN congress assembles there will be again a woman member of the senate, for Mrs Thnddeus H. Caraway has been appointed to suc ceed her late husband temporarily aa Sen ator from Arkansas. The only other wom an senator we have had was Mrs. Reheccn Felton of Georgia, who held the office nominally and for but a short time. Mrs. Caraway, however, may be expected to be an active member, for she was a close student of politics and government dur (nrv l?l?. nnkll. t I jug me luug puuiit iuc ui uer iiusunuu. It Is likely that the Arkansas Demo crats will nominate her tor the spe cial election to be called and In that case she Is certain to be elected to 911 ont the unexpired term. The wet bloc In the house of repre sentatives will gain another vote through the nomination of Donald McLean by the Republicans of the Fifth district of New Jersey to com plete the term of the late Ernest R. Ackerman. He will contest for the sent with Percy H. Stewart. Democrat ic nominee, at a special election De cember 1. Both the gentlemen are ad vocates of revision or repeal of pro hibition, while Mr. Ackerman was n Republican dry. The district Is nor mally Republican. DINO ORAN'DI, brilliant young for eign minister of Italy and the mouthpiece of Premier Mussolini, has had his three days of conversations with President Hoo ver and departed from Washington, well satisfied. The results of the talks have not been made public at the time of writing, but It is known that the chief topic was disarmament, in which both Mr. Hoover and Ii Duce are deeply in terested. Grand! brought with h i m Signor Augusto Ros so as one of his chief advisers because Rosso Is an expert on naval affairs and Italy Is especially concerned with the comparative strength of ber navy. Slgnor Rosso Is at present chief of the Italian foreign office division that deals with the League of Nations, and there have been hints that be might be a future ambassador to Washington. Signor Grand! was gratified with the news that Arlstlde Briand, aa head of the league council, had declared offi clally that the one-year armament building truce is In effect as of No vember 1, for this truce was the sug gestion of Grandl?though he called It "an American-Latin Idea." In bla talks with the correspondents be said: "We think in Italy that the question of disarmament la the most Important question existing now In the relations between countries, and that Itr la high time for everybody to reach some prac tical result" Asked for his views on war debts and reparations, he called attention to Mussolini's statement In 1922 that war debts and reparations were dependent upon each other and should be scaled down. PHILIP SNOWDEN, who served ably In the house of commons for a quarter of a century and for two terms was chancellor of the ex chequer, has been created a viscount by King George and elevated to thq bouse of peers so that be may bold the office of lord privy seal In the na tional government Be declined to ran for re-election to the lower house be cause of 111 health. AHATMA GANDHI Informed the British government that unless It did something for IihIIh by Decem ber 1 he would suil for Bombay on December 4 to lead a new and greater Civil disobedience movement In that country. In that case It Is likely he will order a social us well as a com mercial boycott against the British, which would mean that no Indians would work for British Individuals. British troops were sent to Kash mir recently to help put down a Mos lem revolt in that Indian state, und the Russian government protests, con sidering the military movement as a distinct menace to Its frontier. In consequence Moscow made threats against Afghanistan which led the Afghan government to ask Turkey for the services of a military mission to reorganize Its army. And Sir Hart Singh, mahnrajnh of Kashmir, objects to the British taking charge of his country. 'TVIEODORE DRF/SER, eminent au- | thor, and the other members of the self-appointed committee that went to Kentucky to Investigate the ulleged III treatment of coal miners in Bell coun ty got themselves into a peck of trou ble if the authorities of that state can get hold of them. The grand jury in Bell county Indicted Dreiser jind his nine companions on charges of crim inal syndicalism, accusing them of seeking to promulgate a reign of ter ror and of suggesting disorders and resistance to the state and federal gov ernments. Conviction carries a pen alty of not more than twenty-one years' imprisonment, a fine of $10,000 i or less, or both. The commonwealth's attorney an nounced he would seek to extradite the alleged offenders, and Dreiser said In New York he would fight extra dition. The author and Marie Ber gain, one of the committee, already had been indicted for misconduct In a Kentucky hotel. MORE trouble has come upon the bureau of prohibition through the killing of a youth in Englewood, Colo., by Henry Dlerks, a dry agent. Tk? n<<? JL11C pCUyiC UUl lllt-IC are greatly aroused, and the bureau start ed an Investigation of the affair. Dierks, in making a raid, found the young man, Mil ford Smith, In posses sion of a bottle of wine and in a strug gle with him clubbed him to death. The city council of Engle wood passed and sent to the bureau In n usiuiigiun u rv-nuuuii in iwiIIII I were set forth some of the Incidents In Dlerks" career. It charged that Dlerks, while acting as an undercover man a few years ago, had employed a 17-year-old girl as an Informer; that he had got drunk collecting evidence In a raid end that In 1030 he had clubbed a helpless prisoner with his revolver. Howard T. Jones, assistant director of prohibition, said this was all news to the bureau and that there was nothing in Its records to the dis credit of Dierks. According to the Englewood police, Dlerks fractured Smith's skull with a blow with the butt of his revolver and then placed him In Jail where he remained nine hours without medical attention. Smith died soou after be ing taken to a hospital. NONE of the party lenders In Wash ington now reera to doubt that there will be legislation to Increase federal taxes, for the deficit at the end of the present fiscal year will be too big to be taken care of by fur ther bond Issues. Senator Jim Wat son of Indiana, majority leader of the senate, said a tax Increase was "Inescapable," and as he had Just been in conference with the President It was assumed this was the opinion of Mr. Hoover. Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the finance committee, ad mitted there would have to be further taxation and thought It might be pos sible to obtain passage of a sales tax. Senator Fees of Ohio said: "The budget must be balanced even If we are compelled to take drastic meas ures such as was done In England. One line of effort Is reductions which are being made so as to reduce the outlay. The other must be Increase In revenue. I also believe that there will be enacted excise taxes on cer tain articles." Senator lllnghnm of Connecticut advocates restoration of nuisance taxes, especially on soft drinks. The "progressive" Republicans are calling for higher Income taxes In the higher brackets, and there may be little opposition to this In either party. Democratic leaders had Irss to ray, for their program Is not yet settled. Anyhow they expect the administra tion to recommend the tax Increase and thus shoulder the responsibility, after which they can decided how tbey think the defldt should be met. (A list.

BURGESS t BROTHER NORTH WIND AND JACK FROST ARRIVE IJONKER the Goose had not been many days ahead of Rough Broth er North Wind and Jack Frost He seldom Is. All the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows know this and so when they heard his message, "Honk, honk, honk, honk," those who still had work to do worked harder than ever. Paddy the Beaver went all over his house very carefully putting on fresh mud wherever It was needed so that when Jack Frost did arrive he would find It all ready to be frozen hard. Jerry Muskrat hurried to get In the last of his supplies. Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and his cousin, Chatterer the Red Squirrel, scampered about faster than ever to get all the nuts possible before they should be hidden under the snow. Bobby Coon, Unc* Billy Pos sum, and Buster Bear did their best to burst their coats bv stuffing them selves with everything they could find. They were so fat they could hardly waddle. Xou see they make store houses of their own skins. Tes, In deed, those were busy days. Then one night when all was still Jack Trost arrived. Be came silently and only these who were awake knew, because he slyly pinched them Just by way -of warning. Dnc" Billy l'oesum was one of these and he didn't wait to be pinched twice. He promptly turned back to his home In a hollow tree and curled himself up In his warm bed for a long, long sleep. Bobby Coon did the same thing. Buster Bear felt sleepy, but be wasn't quite ready to go to bed for the winter, so he de cided to wait until the first heavy snow. Paddy the Beaver watched the mud harden on the roof of his house as Jack Frost touched It, and then he dived and with a sigh of great content slipped in at his secret door under wa ter and scrambled up into his nice, warm, dry bedroom to rest, for he had worked long and hard, and he knew that the time had come when he could work no more, because by morning his pond would be covered with Ice. But those who were asleep for the night knew nothing about the coming of Jack Frost until the morning. Then they shivered a little as they started forth and those who run, ran fast to keep warm, and those who fly, flew fast for the same reason. Later In the day Rough Brother North Wind ar rived. There was nothing silent about the way he came. He whooped and howled across the Green Meadows and through the Green Forest He caught up the dead leaves and whirled theiu far and wide. He shonted {hat all might hear: "I am the North Wind stout and bold! I came from the land of Ice and cold! Who braves my strength to him I give A greater power to work and five." Peter Itsbhlt listened and shivered Just a wee bit In spite of his warm coat. "Now what does he mean by that?" said he. "I suppose," replied little Mrs. Peter, "that he means that those who are not afraid to face hard times and do their very heat are really stronger for doing It. lie certainly la rouga and Strong, bat I've noticed that we alwaya feel well when lie comes." "That Is quite true," replied Peter thoughtfully. "I nerer can ran eo faat In autnmer as In winter." He drew a long breath. "Isn't this air goodt 1 fee! ]ust like a run this very minute.1 When you get used to It winter lent so bad. It's all in the getting used to It Those who sleep all winter or go away where there Isn't cold weather.' don't know what a lot they miss. I wonder why they do It anyway." 10 br 1. a.

Cook in a doable boiler sn til smooth and pour orsr the stiffly beaten whites to which ooe-founh cap ful of sugar has been added. Poor into a baked shell, add a tablespoonfal of butter and bake antQ firm?sheaf ten minutes.

Clearing up after a meal Is a com plicated matter, and when there are many dishes and a number of workers there should be definite division of la bor. Each Individual shonld be given a definite task. If there are five to belp, the work may be divided as fol lows: A. Carry silver and glassware to the kitchen and pile at the side of the sink. Collect table napkins, crumb ta ble, remove cloth, take out leaves from the table If extra ones have been add ed, brush dining-room floor, put dining room In between meal order, and quit. B. Carry all chlnaware to the kitch en, scrape and pile. Help dry dishes and finally collect and dispose of ref use. Nothing more. C Collect all food left from the meal, put Into suitable dishes and put In the refrigerator. Put up bread and other food left In the kitchen. Tidy the stove and wipe off. Put up all kitchen dishes, and be In readiness 10 brush up kitchen floor when work la done. D. Get ready dish water and begin washing dishes as soon as glasses and silver begin to arrive. Wash nil dishes and pots and pans and then quit with a free conscience. E. Sec that tables are cleared for clean dishes and begin drying as soon as things are ready. Dry pots and pans mi well as dishes and Anally wash out dish towels. Usually that would be a fair di vision of labor with responsibilities fairly distributed.
