CIVILIANS KILLED
BY CHANG PLANES
Many Injured by Bombs Near
Border-Foreigners De-
serting Towns.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
TIENTSIN, September GA few
persons were killed and many were
injured today when Manchurian
aviators in the army of Gen. Chang
Tso-lin bombed the border town of
Shanhaikwan. where the eastern ex-
tremity of the Great Wall is located
near the Chihlian- line,
according to messages received here.
The railway works at Shanhaikwan,
a point held by the Peking forces of
Gen WI Pei-F-u, was the target of
the aviators. Numerous windows
were shattered by the bombs
According to passengers of the
steamer kwangping, which arrived
yesterday with a number of for
eigners from Shanhaikwan, Ching
wantao and other nearby towns, only
a few foreigners remain in these
communities because air raids are
becoming a daily occurrence. The
messages today said many native and
foreign houses have been wrecked by
the bombs from aircraft.
The railway situation between
Peking and points along the railway
to Shanhaikwan is daily becoming
more serious, it was reported today.
This is due to the activity of almost
every petty officer in the Shihlian
forces who insist on communicating
and retaining special trains.
A coal famine in North China is
probable owing to the impossibility
of moving coal trains from the
Kailan mines.

BERLIN's POLICY DEFINED.
Aggressive Role Declared Neces-
sary by Stresemann.

BY Cable TO The Star and New York World.
BERLIN, September 27-Foreign
Minister Stresemann, addressing
members of his own Peoples Party on
the foreign and internal situation to-
night, in effect confirmed recent in
formation that Germany's application
for admission to tho League of Ma
tions is the first step in n new aggres-
sive foreign policy.
He took AS his text the ZR-3. built
at Friedrichshafen for the United
States. saying: Germany builds the
biggest and most successful airship the
world has yet seen and is then compell-
ed to tear down the works that gave
birth to this triumph of science. That
is the spirit of Versailles"
Must Revise Treaty.
Germany. he went on, must enter the
League to revise the Versailles treaty
Millions of Germans" he explained
torn away from the Fatherland, live
in foreign states, in newly construct
ed states, influenced by the League of
Nations.
The battle for the rights of these
German minorities, the battle for JUS
tice in the Saar. the big questions of
military control and disarmament,
these are all of the utmost Importance
to u.s."
BY these minorities he meant the
German-speaking peoples in Czecho-
slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, and AL
SAGE. In joining the league Germany
hopes to regain by an instrument of
peace what she lost in war.

MARS TROP|C NOON
LIKE WINTER IN D. c.
Mt. Wilson Report Reveals
That Planet Possesses
Rare Atmosphere.

The Carnegie Institution Of Wash
ington announced yesterday the results
obtained at the Mount Wilson Observ-
atory in California, of the measure
ment of the temperature and heat
radiation of the planet Mars at it's
recent close approach to the earth.
The observations were made by DR..
Petit and DR.. Nicholson, using a
sensitive instrument known as a
vacuum thermo-couple attached to
the 1O0-inch rejecting telescope, and
the area of the surface of the ther-
mo-couple was sufficiently small to
make possible measurements on de-
tails of the planet such as the south
polar cap.
Varied Apparatus Used.
Various transmission screens were
used so that the light reflected from
the planet and the thermal radiation
from it's heated surface could be
separated and analyzed. The COM
munication from the Mount Wilson
Observatory yesterday said:
THE temperature computed from
the observations necessarily depends
upon our knowledge of the absorbing
power Of the earth's atmosphere on
radiation from bodies at such low
temperatures; for only about one
fourth of all the heat which Mars
sends out reaches the telescope at
Mount Wilson, while in the case of
the sun three-fourths of it's heat
reaches us under similar conditions
THE measurements indicate that
the temperature of the tropical re-
gions of Mars at Martian noon is
about 10 degrees above freezing, and
that the mean temperature over the
south polar cap is about 95 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit. The average
temperature of the tropical regions
between Martian sunrise and 9
o'clock is 10 degrees above zero.
'If the image of the planet Is al
lowed to move across the sensitive
surface of the thermo-couple, 1t Is
found that the resulting curve is
symmetrical, thus showing that the
maximum of heat comes at noon and
not in the afternoon as on the earth
The form of this curve is very sim
moon, and indicates a rare atmos-
phere for the planet.
Mars and Venus Compnred,
'"This conclusion is further borne
out by the large percentage Of radia-
ton emitted by the heated surface Of
distribution, which is similar to that
of the moon and the planet Mercury
1t Is of interest to compare these re-
suits for Mars with those obtained
by similar methods for the planet
Venus.

the world was at stake.
With the negotiations over the
Japanese reservations to the protocol
still unsettled. considerable excite
ment. was caused in the League OF
Nations Palace tonight by the post
ing of an official communication from
the Japanese delegation. This COM
.munication reproduced statement
by the Japanese foreign office that
Japan would adopt a policy of non
interference in the internal affairs of
China 1t then proceeded to cite an
editorial opinion from the Osaka
Asahi of September 23 which coun-
seled Japan to go slow in fixing its
attitude toward the proposed protocol
Of arbitration and security
Sees United States Left Out.
The newspaper made the point that
the machinery of the protocol would
probably never apply to the United
States, Germany or Russia. because
their ratification of the protocol was
exceedingly doubtful. Great Britain S
ratification also seemed doubtful to
the Asahi which thought that Japan
could wait until the disarmament con
ference, where the non-signatory
states would probably be represented
The posting OF this Japanese opin-
ion in an official communication i'm
mediately gave rise to the belief that
the Japanese delegations had circu-
lated the Asahi's opinion purposely in
order to explain its difficulties with
home opiEion in connection with the
question of its adherence to the pro-
tocol.
on learning of this Interpretation
of the communication members Of the
Japanese delegation hastened to the
League of Nations Palace and tore
down the document explaining that
this Interpretation was erroneous.
The delegates said they had merely
transmitted the Asahi's view along
with others to the Information Sec
ton of the secretariat of the league.
Officials of the information section
said they were authorized to post the
communication.
New Statement Posted.
Coming on top of today's difficulties
growing out of the Japanese reserva-
tions to the protocol. the communica-
ton caused a sensation. Later an
other communication was posted, as
serting that the Japanese delegation
took no responsibilities whatsoever
for the opinion expressed by the
Asahi, that the postiEg e of this COM

was requested, and that no signifi-
canoe whatever should be attached to

Hebrew New Year Festivities
Begin With Today's
Sunset.

At sunset today begins the holy
season of the Jewish faith to be OBJ
served by all Jewry. In thousands of
homes and a large number of syna-
gogues the same rites of worship
that have persisted for several thou
sand years will be observed. 1t is

according to tradition. The Jewish
religious era began with the creation
Solemn prayers are chanted in OBJ
servance of the day, and the trumpet,
the first musical instrument used
when the Israelites journeyed in the
wilderness, is sounded.
The trumpet sounds or the rams
horn, according to Rabbi J. T. Loeb
of ohev Sholem Synagogue are to
annunciate the re-eStablishment of
Gods own kingdom over all created
beings and His all-ruling justice in
the affairs Of the world. The rams
horn also is a reminder of divine
revelation on Sinai, when midst
thunder and lightning and the strong
sound Of the shofar" the people of
Israel were ordained to act as Gods
chosen messengers on earth and to
remain His own silent testimony in
all the ends of the earth, even to the
day when the great shofar will be
blown" for the spiritual regenera-
tion of the entire world and the
united brotherhood Of man.
The eve of Rosh Hashanah will be
observed at sunset today by both
the reformed and orthodox Jewry,
and tomorrow the orthodox will re-
peat the services. Following are 10
days OF penitence eliminating in the
fast OF Yom Kippur, and on that
solemn day amends to God and man
for believed wrong-doing Is made
Four days after Yom Kippur comes
Succoth eve and the next day the

One effect Of the decision is ex-

the plan fostered by Senator La Fol-

court decisions by a bare majority
of one. He has pointed to this case
as a glaring example OF the asserted
unwisdom Of this rule. His prin-

dolph Spreckels, in a telegram to the
Senator said that lin deciding against

four-to-three decisions which is cal
culated to strengthen the already
strong opinion that bare majority
Of the court too often denies to the
people an opportunity to enjoy the

mocracy."
The rendition of the California de-
cision brought from Hiram Johnson
the first public expression OF the cam
paign. There had been much curious
ity as to Senator Johnson'S attitude

He denounced the opinion as "unjus-
titled by the law. contrary to public
policy and Of the most harmful con-
sequences adding lit is a decision
such as this that undermines public
confidence in the courts" That ut
