SHANGHAI SHAKEN
BY JAP BOMBARDMENT
Shanghai, Nov. 2 Japanese
bombardment of Chinese posi
tions only a short distance to
the west of Shanghai today
shook thousands of Americans
and other foreigners in tne in
ternational settlement and
French concession.
Although no projectiles fell
-within the settlement or conces
sion boundaries, buildings as far
away as Shanghai's Bund were
shaken by the exploding bomls
and shells.
A trench mortar shell crash
ed into the roof of a gymnasium
being used as barracks by, Bri
tish troops at St. John's Univer
sity in the Jessifield park area
just west of the settlement, but
no injuries were reported by the
British authorities. -
As the fighting swept toward
the Siccawei Catholic mission,
center on the southwestern out
skirts of the French concession,
French authorities prepared to
defend the mission by placing
defense positions around it and
setting up anti-aircraft guns.
The purpose of the Japanese
bombardment was to break up
Chinese defenses extending west
from the international settle
ment south 'of Soochow creek. :
Observers stated that the
Japanese had expanded - their
front for a; mile on each si3e of
Hubicon village, but the Chinese
officials declared this statement
to be false. " ' .
Today's engagement was per
haps the heaviest since the fall
of Tazang. Chinese trench mor
tars and three-inch pieces were
used effectively against the Jap
anese bombardment.

PICTURE EXPOSES

"Y" Film Acclaimed By
Large Audience
A capacity audience accorded
an enthusiastic reception to the
topical film, "Dealers in Death,"
which was shown in the lounge
room of Graham Memorial last
night. The picture was spon
sored by the Y. M. C. A.
- The film exposed "the activi
ties of the "War Lords" who
"play both ends against the
middle by, selling munitions to
both allies and enemy alike," de
scribing them as "one big happy
family, each vitally concerned
as to the welfare of the other
and all united in a common
cause, the provocation of war in
the interest of selling munitions
at tremendous profits.".
Conveying a gruesome pic
ture of war conditions, the pic
ture preached in the interest of
peace, attempting to show that'
warfare is caused not by the
people themselves, but by a
business-like organization inter
ested only in the profits to be
had from the sales of arma
ments. ;
A number of actual. war pho
tographs helped to bring out the
point of the film.

a speaker this season. .
The C. P. U. did send Thomas

Program
Initiates Members
Secretary John Rankin told
the Phi assembly last night that
a debate had been arranged
with the Columbia Literary so
ciety of Duke university for
next Tuesday evening. The
groups will meet here and will
debate upon the following sub
ject: Resolved: that the constir
tution is a hindrance of the
progress of the United States.
Speakers and judges will be
chosen by Rankin.
As part of the program, the
Phi was addressed by Mac
Smith, who presented President
Roosevelt's non-isolation pro
gram. Apparently convinced
that present economic inter-relations
make complete isolation
impossible, Smith urged the co
operation of the nation -towards
the founding of some effective
international judiciary with
the power to act. Admitting that
the League of Nations was in
effectual, he maintained that the
support of the United States to
such an organization would al
most insure peace.
After a very brief discussion
the assembly voted upon the
following bill : Resolved : that
the Phi, assembly approve of
President Roosevelt's non-intervention
policy .-.The bill was car

POP QUIZ
By
Bob Perkins
Yesterday Dr. A. E. Ruark,
head of the physics department,
challenged a statement made by
Lewis Carroll in his book "Logi
cal Nonsense."
j Carroll says that with the use
of a complicated system of his
own devising baffling even
mathehiaticians) , he can analyze
the following series of proposi
tions and reach the conclusion
that "No wise young pigs go up
in balloons."
Dr. Ruark says that he found
it possible to analyze , the prob
lem in ten minutes by straight
forward processes.
Here are the propositions.
See if you can do as well as Drl
Ruark.
All, who neither dance on
tight ropes nor eat penny-buns
are old. Pigs, that are liable to
giddiness, are treated with res
pect. A wise balloonist takes an
umbrella with him. No one
ought to lunch in public, who
looks ridiculous and eats penny
buns. Young creatures, who go
up in balloons, are liable to gid
diness. Fat creatures, who look
ridiculous, may lunch in public,
provided they do not dance on
tight-ropes. ''No wise creatures
dance on tight-ropes, if liable
to giddiness. A pig looks ridicul
ous, carrying an umbrella. All,
who do not dance on tight-ropes,
and who are treated with respect
are fat.
Answer to yesterday's quiz: As any
thing said by a student isnot true
and everything aid by a faculty
member is" true, then assuming that
A had made a remark we can reason
as follows: . ,
First, if B is. a student, then he
misquoted A, and A must have said
B was a faculty member. Therefore
A:must be a student, if we are work
ing on the basis that B is a student,
because he lied about B's position.
But C . said, A was a . member, of the
faculty, therefore C has lied and is
a student also. However B calls C a
student which would be. the truth and
a student cannot' tell the truth. So
B is not a student and we have rea
soned incorrectly. ", I , U -
v;Now let us take B as a faculty mem
ber.. This "will make his quotation, of
A's remark correct.. However A said
that B was a student, which makes
A a liar and a student. As C says A
is a . member of the faculty, then C
is a liar and a student. This is back
ed up by B's statement that C is a
student . , .
Here there is no inconsistency so
B must be a faculty member, and A
and C students. - " ? , ;
(Note: In. the student-faculty
quiz there was a slight mistake
"yesterday. But after an hour's
labor and the able assistance of
Allen Merrill we found that it
can be worked as stated.)
