First Actual
Peace Effort
Given Rebuff
The first attempt to settle peace
ably the dispute between Russia
and China has failed, although re
newed assurances were given'yester
day that neither country would
resort to war- unless evert, acts wete
committed against it.
The government of the Soviet
union disclosed that. Prance had of
fered Its good services to mediate In
the conflict growing out of the dis
missal bv China of the Russia ad
ministration of the Chinese Eastern
railway in Manchuria. At the same
time Russia announced that it.
could not accept the offer because
China had refused to restore the
status quo that Russia demanded
as a preliminary to negotiations.
Neutral observers in Peiping,
from information from many
sources, reached the conclusion
that, there had been no clashes be
tween Chinese and Russian troops
on the frontier of Manchuria. Most
of the rumors had come from Har
bin, where they were accepted to
the extent that Russian Consul
General Melnikoff was detatned by
the Chinese until the reports were
investigated. He lias now been re
leased.
The state department in Wash
ington received assurances from
both the Chinese and Russian gov
ernments that they would abide by
the Kellogg anti-war treaty and
would countenance war only in self
defense. Simultaneously, the Jap
anese government advised that it
was co-operating fully with Secre
tary Stimson, completing the unity
in the crisis of the signatory pow
ers of tile Pan-Pacific, treaty.
The Nationalist government of
China was said to be prepared to
seek intervention of the League of
Nations if the Kellogg part, failed
to hold the war dogs in leash. It
was reported that she had dispatch
ed a new note to Moscow reiterat
ing desire to settle the dispute by
peaceful negotiations.

To the Editor of The Star
So many are haying their say re
garding county officers, hospital,
health officer and nurse, let its all
have our say.
This writer notes all'the criticism
these important, item.; are getting
from our wealthiest citizens, men
who Can well afford to pay them
hospital bills out of the funds that
the poor and unfortunate have
made for them. Yet they are not
willing to pay a little trifling five
cent tax for a few years to help
preserve their health. So far as the
county agent I think this a most
important office, but not so Im
portant as a health officer or nurse
Mr. Hawkins in his article want
ed to know what the county w-elfa-v
officer does to earn his keep. Sure
ly Mr. Hawkins is not ignorant, to
the many and lasting good things
tliis man J. B Smith has done ami
is doing to tlie more unfortunate
of our county. The many homes he
has found for many fatherless and
motherless children. This alone
would well pay for his keep
as Mr. Hawkins puts it, to say
nothing of the hundreds of Other
good arts that romp through him —
that would not be if it were not for
him and his office. Mr. Hawkins
is like a great many of us—has seif
in mind, and hasn't time or monev
for the poor and unfortunate of
our county.
We boost on our good roads, good
crops, fine automobiles, but* can w;
boost, on the health institutions we
have—the one thin? that mears
more to Cleveland county ihan all
others combined. Aren't we really
ashamed of it. No health officer,
no nurse, no county hospital, and
when the state will go 50-50 with
us, and the Duke fund is also avail
able. Our county commissioners are
wise and honorable men and more
honor will be theirs when they
have the five cent, tax.
Respectively yours,
M. M. PATTERSON.

Young Tarheel
Facing London
Jury For Life
II, .1. Reynolds, Jr., ( liarserl With
Killing Britisher With His
Automobile,
London. July 23.—Defend* d by
one of the best arrays of legal tal
ent which money can buy in Eng
land, Richard Joshuah Reynold',
23, described as an American, went
on trial today in Old Bailey on a
manslaughter charge resulting
from an accident last May in which
a motorcycle rider was killed.
Sir Henry Maddocks, K. C„ crown
prosecutor, told the men and wom
en of the jury that the death wrs
caused by criminal conduct of Rey
nolds. ‘He was drunk,'1 said the
prosecutor, “and his drunkenness
was the cause of that young man's
death/'
Reynolds denied that he was
drunk. Norman Birkett, «K. C., one
of the most eminent criminal law
yers in Britain, who heads the de
fense staff, said the evidence would
show that it was the dead man’s
own carelessness which caused the
accident.
Ronald Bargate, 22, who was the
companion of Reynolds on the day
in question, said that he and Reyn
olds each had “two or thre pimmes
number one." The Judge interpolat
ed, "I don’t suppose the ladles of
the jury Mil know what that Is.
We shall require It to be described,"
Bargate explained that “pimmes”
were lemonades with gin.
Testimony was introduced to
show that the front of Reynold's
automobile was damaged jmd that
It had been driven in an erratic
manner. The body of Arthur Gra
ham had been found beside his
crumpled motorcycle in the road
way. Reynolds was released in ball
at the conclusion of today's ses
sion.

I
“You All” Said To
To Be Too Friendly
Lenoir News-Topic.
The New York Times has started
another discussion about the man
ner In which “you-all” la used in
the South, and there Is one school
of thought which Is contending
that Its use Is singular and another
contending that Its use Is plural.
While contributors are wrangling
over those two mooted angles, Tiie
World enters a broadside against
the use of the expression “you-aU”
in either tense because “of Its In
sufferable friendliness.” The World
points out that a person can say
"you” and make it rebuke, or make
it mildly scold, or make it caress.
But “you-all” is different. It’s too
friendly to be used harshly.
That is an interesting by-product
of the muchly disputed use of the
words, and It is rather gratifying
to find that one northerner doesn't
try to cram a perfectly good ex
pression down southern mouths
the wrong way. The southerner
uses “you-all” just as the north
erner uses “you folks." He never
thinks of using it with singular ap
plication. If a northerner has
heard a southerner say to one per
son "you all come over to see us,”
it is obvious that the person's fam
ily is included in the invitation.
It could not be otherwise.
r. S. TO PROSECUTE FORMER
CHINESE OFFICIAL AND WIFE
San Francisco, July 23.—Acting on

States district attorney’s office an
nounced today that Ying Kao,
former Chinese vice consul, his wife,
and Sun Foon, former chancellor

worth of smuggled opium.
Previously there had been doubt
as to whether the defendants would
be tried here or returned to China
to face the courts of that country.
About 2,300 tins of opium were
found when customs agents exam
ined trunks brought here from
Chtna several weeks ago by Mrs.
Ying Kao.
