News Review of Current Events the World Over Japan Rebuked by League Council, but Still Persistent ?President Hoover Asks Congress for Reorganisation of Government. By EDWARD W. PICKARD JAPAN faring the week seemed to be getting deeper and deeper Into the morass of international trouble, but gave no outward sign of weakening In her determination to subdue the Chinese. Having received a re port from its investiga tors at Shanghai, plac ing the onus of the hostilities on Japan, the council of the League of Nations got its dander up and sent to Tokyo a sharp note calling to Ja pan's attention again her obligations under various treaties and the league covennt, re Secretary Stimson minaing ner 01 ner nign position among the powers and appealing to her to cease the warfare against China. The decision to send this re bake was reached in the absence of the Japanese and Chinese represent atives and over the protest of Ger many and Jngo-Slavia. It was signed by the "committee of twelve** and thus a loophole was provided in case it Is not backed up by the league assembly later. The communication took the same stand taken by Secretary of State Stlmson, that the validity of Jap anese occupation of Chinese territory could not lie recognised. Mr. Stlmson formulated another stern protest against the use of the International settlement in Shanghai by the Japanese as a base for military oi?erations, and declined to be im pressed by Japan's argument that the other powers also had landed troops there. He told Ambassador Debuchl that If the Chinese should enter or fire on the settlement on any pretext while Japanese forces were utilizing it as a military base, the United States would hold Japan responsible. In preparation for a grand offensive the Japanese heavily shelled the Chi nese lines, and many shells fell in the international settlement. Two English sailors were killed. This caused great excitement In London. A special meet ing of the cabinet was called at once and Urlme Minister MacDonald left a nursing home to preside over It. Amer ican marines also were endangered by the rain of shells but there were no casualties among them. A UTHORIZED by his government, ** the Japanese minister to China served an nltimatum on Gen. Tsi Ting kal, commander of the Nineteenth Chi nese route army, de manding that the Chi nese retire twenty kil ometers from Shang hai and threatening to drive them away by force should they not comply. There were evidences that the Japanese were growing anxious about the great concentra tion of Chinese troops and feared that Gen. Chiang Kai-shek would bring his national Chiang KaU ?hck guaru uiviBiuu5 10 lue aid ox aaang* hal's defenders nDd take1 command of the entire army. Minister of War Araki asked Emperor Hiroiiito to np prove the cabinet's plan to send 30.000 to 43.000 fresh troops to Shanghai If the Chinese continued their resistance. For the third time American Consul General Cunningham had to protest against a raid by Japanese plain clothes men on the middle school of the American Methodist Church, South. The furniture was smashed, book^and papers scattered about, and an Ameri can flag nailed on the outer wail was torn down. Other Japanese civilian* assaulted American Vice Consul Ar thur Rlngwalt and an American worn an he was helping out of the bombard ed district. For this outrage Tokyo apologised. PRESIDENT HOOVER on Wednes day sent to congress a special mes sage asking support for a reorganiza tion of the government and recom mending the creation of four new fed eral offices. He requested, simultane ously, the major alteration and chang ing In title of four other federal de partments Cnder the eight new and altered divisions he would consolidate present overlapping activities In an effort to subtract "millions of dollars annually" from the tax burden.. Authority alao was asked for the Chief Executive to transfer and coo soil date executive and administrative groups merely through the issuance of executive orders, each to lie before I congress for <30 days before becoming effective. The Immediate changes. Mr. Hoover asserted, would cost about $40,000 per , annum in additional salaries, but "the saving in cost of administration would j be many times this sura." DEMOCRATIC leaders of the house prepared to place their own tax ation and economy proposals before the nation as a means of balancing the national budget Following the dec laration of Speaker Garner that President Hoover bad failed to promote real economy, Bepresentative Itainey of Illinois, Democratic leader, characterized the treasury tax pro posals as "woefully In sufficient." The first step in the economy program was the creation of a spe cial committee to study means of abol ishing and restricting government bu reaus to cut expenses. The bouse ways and means com mittee met to consider the treasury's additional tax program, which Included a 1-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax and a 7 per cent fax on domestic electric light and gas bills. Ralney said: "The treasury originally recommend ed taxes totaling <920,000,000 and then admitted a mistake of over <400.000. 000, and came back with a request to raise the total. "The treasury, even In Its new esti mates, does not take into considera tion expenses Incident to the <500, 000,000 reconstruction corporation, <125,000,000 land bank bill, possible di rect relief funds of veterans' bills, and will not even estimate the Increased Interest on the national debt." BY A vote of 35 to 48 the senate de feated the La Follette-Costigan bill to provide <750,000,000 from the federal treasury to the states for the relief of the jobless and -eedy, of which sum <375.000,000 was to be handed the states for highway building. Party lines were broken, and the "progres sive" bloc was the only group that voted solidly for the measure. Six teen regular Democrats and six reg ular Republicans Joined with them in its support. This being out of the way, the sen ate took up the Glass-Steagall bill to liberalise the federal reserve structure and release a fresh flood of credit throughout the national banking sys tem. This measure had passed through the bouse with little trouble and It was expected the senate would soon give Its approval. IX SELECTING a successor to Oliver TVendell Holmes on the bench of 1 the Supreme Court of the United | States. President Hoover set aside geo graphical considera H. T. Rainty tlons and chose Ben jamin Nathan Car doso. chief Justice of the New York state court of appeals. The nomination was sent to the senate and early confirmation was expected, though sev eral protests were re ceived by Senator Nor rls. chairman of the Ju diciary committee. This nonointment rives the B. N. Cardoro Supreme court five Republicans end four Democrats, and cine of the Jus tices are from the eastern states. It had been expected that a westerner would be named. Judge Cardoso was recommended by various groups de scribing themselves as liberals, and his choice for the high honor was praised by senators of such diverse affilia tions as N orris of Nebraska Heed of ' Pennsylvania. Watson of Indiana and i Wagner of New York. PIERRE LAVAL los.ng a vote of confidence in parliament, resignea as premier of France together with his cabinet. Paul Painlev*. former premier, consented to try to form a new government. TEWFIK RESHDI BET. foreign minister of Turkey, seems to be one of the most optimistic of the dele gates to the disarmament conference la Geneva. After the apparently Ir reconcilable Views of the great powers had been presented the Turk arose ^ and told the conference that the I political Importance of frontieri will I soon be negatived by fraternization among nations, which, he suld, it the surest means of arriving at disarma ment Turkey, he said, has been aim ing at understandings with her neigh bor nations, but opposed any kind of alliances except one?an alliance among all nations against war. He supported the French proposal for Internationalizing civil aviation and urged prohibiting the manu facture of offensive weapons. Germany's proposals were submitted Thursday. They Included abolition of all air armaments, destruction of air reserves of stocks, abolition of conscription, prohibition of heavy ar rillery and tanks, limitation of tlie size of warships and prohibition of aircraft carriers and submarines SPEAKER JOHN X.

They prom ised that he would pet the full vote of J. N. Garner me lexas aeieganon ana wouia nave the support of countless other Demo crats* over the country when the na tion knows more of his character and services. "He has been speaker of the house for only a few weeks," said the Texas senators. "During that period the house under his leadership has at tracted the attention of the whole country by reason of its prompt, thor ough and statesmanlike conduct of Its affairs. His record as speaker and leader Is among the highest proofs of his splendid qualities of leadership and courage." Mr. Garner said he had known noth ing of the statement beforehand and had no authorized spokesman. He re fused to talk of his Presidential chances.

THIS is the cosmic-ray telescope, first of Its kind, which will be used to .measure the Intensity of this mysterious radiation from one part of the heavens for comparison with the strength of the rays from another por tion of the skies. The telescope has been designed and built in the labora tory of the Bartol research foundation of the Franklin Institute at Swarth roore. Pa. It Is for the use of Dr. W. F. G. Swann, prominent physicist and director of the laboratory. Next summer be will take It to a place of higher altitude, such as the top of ML Washington or Pike's peak, where cosmic radiation is more intense. MY MEMORY ; By DOUGLAS MALLOCH I WHT is it I remember Things upstairs when 1 am down; Recall some thing I meant to bring When Tm half way to town? Why is it in the attic I think about the fire. Or, far below, remember so What attics may require? Why is It I remember Things downstairs when Tm up? When up I went I fully meant To bring along a cup. Why is it, when I'm outdoors I think of things within. And, in again, remember then. The things, where I have been? Why is it I remember Things inside when Tm out, My kitchen cares when I'm upstairs, Anfl always turned about? Since at the proper minute A thing 1 can't recall. I wonder why it is that I Remember things at all. re. 1UI.

He always wins out who will never aay 41a ^ WAS ever anybody in a worse flx than Peter Rabbit? There he sat pantb.g for breath under a pile of brush In the Green Forest with Hooty the Owl perched on his watch tower Just above, and, hiding in a hol low log not far away, Shadow the Weasel. Of the two Peter feared Shadow most. He knew that Shadow knew Just where he was. In fact. If it had not been that Hooty had hap pened along Just in time to swoop at Shadow and chase him into that hol low log. It is probable that Peter would have been caught before this. "It's a lucky thing for me," thought Peter, "that Hooty did not come along until after I had got under this pile of brush. He doesn't know I'm here, and so he won't be watching for me at all. Shadow wont dare come out until Hooty has gone away, and until, then I am perfectly safe. Perhaps I can steal away while Hooty is watch ing for Shadow. Of course, if I make the least sound Hooty will hear me. 1 dont see what Old Mother Nature was thinking of to give him such wonder ful ears. It isn't fair to the rest of us." Of course Peter quite overlooked the fact that Booty's eyes are of very lit tle use to him In daylight, and so he must do all his hunting at night and must have keen ears to help out his eyes In order to get enough to eat. Just a Little Way Of? Wat a Big Stump. "If I Could Reach That," Thought Peter. Mother Nature is never unfair, though it may sometimes seem so. "I'm glad/* continued Peter to "bim elf, "that there is snow on the ground, because that means that there will be no rustling of dry leaves when I move. It Is dreadfully hard work to walk over dry leaves without making them rustle. That Is one thing I do not have to worry about- I hope Hooty will be as patient as he usually is. If he sits there long enough. I wll get quite rested. Of course Shadow will follow my tracks as soon as the way is clear. He is the most persistent fellow of whom I know. He never gives up un j til he has to. Now I'll look about and see what chance I have to get away The sooner I can do It the better. Shadow thinks I won't dare move while Hooty is on guard. I'm going to fool him if there is the least chance In the world, and the sooner I do 1 the better." JjVery.^yery slowly and carefully Pe ter crawled to the edge of the brusn pile farthest from where Hooty sat on hit watch-tower with hU eyea fired on the bole In which 8hadow had dis appeared. He took care not to make a aonnd. Where the brush wag very thick be crawled on Lis stomach through the anow under It. And ao at last he reached the edge where he could peep out. Just a little way off was a big stump. "If I could reach that." thought Pe ter, "without being seen. I think per haps I could steal away. There la a little hemlock tree Just beyond, and If I can once get that between Hooty and me he never will see roe In the world. It is my one chance to get away from here, and after I've done that I will have to trust to luck to fool Shadow. He'll follow my tracks as sure as winter Is here, once Hooty lets nim out.'and Hooty isn't going to alt there all night." Peter looked back over his shoulder up at the top of the tall dead tree which was Hooty's watch-tower. Right on the very tip-top sat Hooty. If P^. ter had not known he was there be certainly would have thought Hooty a part of the tree itself. Peter shivered, and It wasn't the cold that made him shiver. Did he dare to cross that open place to the big stump right In plain sight of Hooty If be should turn his head? (? by J. G. Lloyd.)?WSV Berrlem.
