got lost up the line. Fritz was
throwing some heavy stuff and
our party scattered.
Yours truly dove for a nearby
dugout to avoid the slivers. Well,
/ stayed in there for half an hour
or 30. When l finally poked my
head out for q good look around
l could not see a living soul, only
some mule teams way off taking
up ammunition. Fritz was still
lobbing them over In front and
behind me.
1t was raining to beat HI, also

came to me, had just finished
reading the American Magazine,
which contains an articles about
Arthur Heymanson, the "newsboy

The picture of Arthur shows
him holding aloft the Seattle Star,

Of The Times.
I told Sam about Arthur Hey
manson the "newsboy capitalist"
who sells thousands of papers q
day, and employs other boys to
work for him, and owns his own
Limousine.

big thing in business is salesman

tate, bonds, or the labor Of your

I told Sam how industrious
Arthur is, and how polite to ev-
erybody, and how cheerful. And

thurs philosophy of salesman

public Is going to buy papers; the

Japanese Steamer Sinks

Nakaki was summarized in the Med
iterranean it was officially announc-
ed. Four officers and A members Of
the crew persisted.
Japan is apparently sensitive and
somewhat embittered because the Uni
ted States failed to consult her about
the Chinese situation. Japan's para
mount interest in China evidently in
fuenced her to Withhold her support
of Americas position. The United
States secretly asked the allied pow
ers to join in the advice to China after
the note was dispatched. Officials
attempted to minimize the Importance
of these refusals declare that it will
probably embarrass further American
efforts to compose Chinese internal
difficulties. The authorities refuse
to discuss the Japan angle Recent
Japanese developments are not en-
couraging. Japan is apparently re-
sentful Of Americas attitude.
