W or 1 d News By Nelson Large ATTEMPT TO MAKE JAPS DISCUSS PEACE TERMS Brussels, Nov. 4 In an at tempt to end the Chinese-Japanese war under the Washington nine-power treaty world powers sought to induce the absent sig natory, Japan, to discuss peace either with them or with China alone. (Reports were current that British Foreign Secretary An thony Eden, on behalf of the "hie three" Britain, United States and France had 'ap proached the Japanese embassy to sound out the Tokyo govern ment on a second invitation to Brussels.) Attaches of both the Ameri can and British delegations, how ever, said that they knew noth ing about sucli a move and so the reports went unconfirmed. Because Japan would have an opportunity to press her cam paign in China with increased energy before her representa tives could reach the conference table, China was strongly oppos ed toward any steps leading to the second invitation to Japan to attend the Brussels confer ence. ' Should the second invitation to Japan fail, to bring the desir ed response, it is thought that a smaller committee will be formed to seek to bring China! and Japan together outside of the Brussels conference. Members for such a commit tee, seeking to find a durable peace between the waring na tions, would probably be Eden, Norman H. Davis, head of the United States' delegation, and French Foreign Minister Yvon M. Delbos. Other possible members of the small working group were Russia's Foreign Commissar , Maxim Litvinof f and Count Luigi Aldrovandi - Marescotti, chief delegate from Italy.

Against his fam ily's wish he married the girl. The ceremony was performed by the village priest, witnessed by the sexton, and entered upon the parish records. About a year later a son was born and the prince died. The priest and sex ton had died previously. Relatives of the prince were unwilling to let the widow and heir of such origin inherit the prince's1 estate. ;An agent of theirs visited the village and ex amined the records. He found the marriage duly recorded. After a moment's hesitation he took out his knife and erased the prince's name from the rec ord. Then he wrote a name over the place where he had made the erasure. The name he wrote was the one most likely in that circumstance to defeat the de fense in any case they brought up. . What was the name he wrote ? Answer to proverb quiz: - "Rome was not built in a day." When the letters of "Any labour I do wants time" are rearranged they will form the' above proverb. It is necessary to use the old but still accepted form of spelling labor for this to work. .
