Readers of "Hoosier Briefs" will
recall the old school book con-

An innocent item concerning
an Elwood woman's claim to the
eldest school book brought
food of similar claims. Scores or
letters were received from all
over the State. The books every
day and in every way got older
and older until one Indianapolis
man hushed all others with a
school book published in the days
of Oliver Cromwell.
"Hoosier Briefs" tells you that
Mrs. Brown was the first i'm the
State to kill garter snake this
spring.
That Bill Smith is the new
exalted ruler of Elks.
That Frank Jones claims he
caught a bass a foot long.

BANKERS NAMES
CROP OUT DURING
LIBEL CASE TRIAL
Sapiro Mentions Baruch,
Meyer and Others as
Reed Questions.

BU United Press
DETROIT, March 31.-Bernard
Baruch, Eugene S. Meyer and other
New York bankers were drawn into
the testimony in the Ford-Sapiro
million-dollar libel suit today.
Resuming their two-man war of
attrition, each trying to bend the
other to his will, Aaron Sapiro,
plaintiff, and James A. Reed, United
States Senator and Ford's chief trial
counsel, turned their fire upon each
other for another day when court
opened.
Sapiro told how in 1928 he collected
$4,000 as fees and retainer from the
Northwest Wheat Growers Associa-
ton for obtaining for them a loan
of $4,000 900 from the War Finance
Corporation. To get this loan, he
said, he had gone to New York ana
consulted Baruch, Meyer and many
others"
Judge Fred M. Raymond, presiding
in the cease, today took formal
cognizance in open court of rumors
that he had ordered an investigation
to determine whether Henry Ford,

avoid appearance as a witness.
He said that not only was he with

War and Rumors Of War All Over Earth

A lifting of the arms embargo is
expected and that would mean
general revolution throughout the
country, complete cnaos and pos
sibly American intervention. That,
in turn, would mean war between us
and Mexico.
In Nicaragua the revolution con-
tinues despite the United States in
tervention in favor of the Conserva-
tive President Diaz against the Lib
eral President Sacasa and no one can
foresee the end.
In Panama there is a bitter anti
American sentiment, so bitter in
fact that the cooperation treaty be-
tween that country and ours could
not be ratified by it's national as
sembly.
A revolution is on in Brazil and
a state of siege exists in several of
its most important states.

War, with various presidents resign.
ing and hurriedly leaving for Eu-
rope, continues in a state of unrest.
The Philippines are demanding i'm
mediate independence.
And so the story goes. These are
not all the worlds troubles. They
are just the high spots. At least a
billion of the earth's billion and a
half people are either spilling one
another's blood or making demands
or announcing programs of action,
which promise bloodshed.
China, of course, now has the CEN
ter of the stage, and justly so, even
were no American or other foreign
lives in peril.
A new China is in the making and
the process is likely to be long, pain
full and dangerous to world peace.
China is the richest undeveloped
nation in the world. Were they to
decide to do so, the great powers
might easily dismember her and
divide the spoils.
But this is unlikely to happen for
the simple, yet tragi-comic, reason
that the great powers are afraid of
themselves. They know that were
they to tear China to pieces and try
to divide her among themselves the
bloodiest war the world has ever
seen would likely result as they
fought each other for the lions
share.
The present menace in China
arises out of tive possibility of the
Chinese rabble getting out of hand
and committing acts of terror
against foreigners leading to an in
ternational punitive expedition SINH
lar to that against the Boxers in
1900.
Were the foreign powers to, under
take such thing at this time the
situation would be serious indeed.
For the Chinese have learned much
in the past twenty-seven years and
an ocean of blood would flow. Most
of it would be Chinese, of course, for
the land teens with people-cannon
fodder for the effective, belching
guns of the western world.
But all the blood would not be
