PEKING AS THE GOAL

I Military observers for months
 have been of the opinion that If the Nationalist government of South 1 China threw all its resources into the scales it would have an excellent
 chance Of capturing Picking. which
 used to be the capital Of China bu,
 in recent years has been little more
 than the headquarters Of Chang
 Tso-lin, Manchurian tuchun. and
 his satellites.
 The Southern drive started this spring. The Central Military Coun- ctl. a sort of general staff, and Chiang kai-shek, the
 minister of war Of the Ranking gov
 ernment.-have had litle difficulty
 in dkpersing such Northern opposi-
 tion as they have encountered. The
 chief difficulty has been in encount-
 er!ns the Japanese. whose ale
 glance with the Picking government
 has been patent. The nationallsts are
 not permitting the Japanese at Tsinan to halt their drive, however, and while complaints were dispatch
 cd to the League of Nations and to
 President Coolidge regarding the in-
 reference by the Japanese the Ad-
 vance seemingly continued toward
 Ttentstn, the chief port of North
 China. Should the Japanese con- tinue attempting 10 interfere with the Southern drive in that city scarcely more evidence will be need ed that Nippon has designs upon northern China, that she Is adopting military and naval measures to pro- teet her assumed political interests. and that she is intent upon saving Picking from capture by the Ma tonalists if at all possible.
 Both Tsinan and Tientsin are easily accessible to the Japanese the former through Japanese owned railroad from Tsingtao on the coast, and Tientsin by boat Even should the legions of Chiang Kali shek be denied the right 10 'cap- ture" these two cities that interter- ence alone probably will not halt the advance Of the Nationalists to- ward Peking. It would be more diff fcult for the Japanese to prevent the capture of Picking once the Nation- alists reached its environs; but even that might be done If the Japanese continue their present policy of the Nationalists without Q declaration of war. The northern dignltaries of the Peking govern ment, however. seemed to have littfe confidence in the ability Of the Japanese 10 protect them, for as soon as the Nationalists arrived near Tientsin they began to flee, mostly to Dairen, at the end of the Man peninsula, which undoubt- edly will remain far from the smoke of battle.
 The Chinese revolution and the counterrevolutions have been going on since 1911 and with the con- stantly increasing strength Of the government it Is at least probable that the grand finish will come in 1928 with the capture of And even that may not end if,

THE UNDERMINING BUSINESS

On several occasions recently It has come to the attention of the police in New Britain that young 1 men ont of work, or with ambitions
 to earn more than they usually
 make. have gone into the rurn-rufa-
 ming business. This brings up point about the prohibition law that re- ceiyes scant public attention yet ts one that almost all observers can- not help recognizing as an evil and
 I demorallzing factor.
 It is generally admitted that .
 successful rum runner or bootlesGer, who knows how to avoid being
 caught in the meshes of the law. is
 likely to be prosperous individual.
 The lure to do likewise unfortunate
 ly becomes a dream, to many a fool
 ish youth, who sees little advantage
 in working in a factory or doing
 other necessary employment such as
 truck driving or operating taxis or
 buses, or any of the other jobs pay
 ing considerably less than John D.
 Rockefeller makes. They get an
 itch for the biz money. take nete of the fact that surreptitious and suc- cessful hauling Of liquor pays good money. and decide to go into the business made possible by the bene- flcent liquor law.
 An old axiom says that where there is a demand a supply is bound to spring up. Youths who conclude that honesty toward the law is not the best policy at first determine the extent of the demand and then through underground channels find a way to supply it. They suffer the handicaps of inexperience and grave risks, but according to their meth cd Of figuring the gain is great enough to outbalance these factors. So they get themselves an automo- bile or a truck and begin making trips. If they happen to be success full in g short time they turn into rum runners and no doubt are able to afford good auto in place of the second hand cars they started with.
 There seems to be no 100 per cent certain way for the ninions Of the law to combat this new business created by the prohibition law. or the liquor trucks or automobiles ] N hich traverse the highways nobody :, knows what percentage are caught And even in case of ar rest, the fines and occasionally jaiy ! sentences are no great deterrent in ! m occupation that runs so heavily nto large figures.
 IL is not an ideal situation when | Hose vho make it a business to | wade the law are able to WOO pros ,erity with vastly greater success han the majority who obey it. Rum running has become an estab- ish.d business and as such natur- lily attracts many of those who ,on,bine the spirit of adventure with ho spirit of get-ricl- quick. In the iays before the existence of sum- uary laws smugglers were rare and 'igured mostly in works Of fiction. The prohibition law has created an ,ruy of smugglers whose success md prosperity cannot help demor- ,lzing the weak minded who place ,rospcrity above law. |

GANG LEADER
IS TARGET OF
BULLET HAIL
Former Aid of Capone Has
Narrow Escape From
Chicago Foes.
FEUD RENEWAL FEARED
Machine Gun Used by Four
Men in Attempt on
MCGurn'S Life.
By United Press

~ OntteG Press
CHICAGO, April 18.-Fleeing
from hail of machine gun bullets,
Jack McGurn, north side gang
leader and former lieutenant of Al
Capone, narrowly escaped death at
the hands of an enemy killing squad
last night.
1t was the second attempt within
six weeks to assassinate McGurn.
A long expected renewal of war
fare among the feudists of the un-
derworld was feared by police as a
result of the latest attempt.
McGurn was not wounded. but
the car in which he was riding was
riddled with bullets.
The gangster was driving his Sc
dan along a street on the~west side
when the attack occurred. AS he
pulled up at curb touring car
containing four men swung into
the street and bore down upon him.
Machine Gun Used
They opened fire with a machine
gun. AS the bullets ripped through
the side Of the car, McGurn jumped
and ran into nearby doorway. The
hail Of fire followed him and the
doorway also was bullet-riddled.
Police considered it almost miracu-
lous that McGurn had escaped I'M
hurt.
Detectives who investigated the
shooting we're confident that last
nights attempt to kill the former
Capone lieutenant was made by the
same men who wounded him in
another machine gun attack on
March 7.
That shooting took place while
McGurn was in a cigar store under
the Hotel Mccormick. The attack
ers entered the store, shot McGurn
through the right lung and left arm
and then fled.
McGurn was in a hospital for
several weeks with his men guard
ing the door. But he refuses to
tell police who had shot him.
Underworld Faces New War
"When I'm we'll again." he said,
"I'u settle this thing myself"
The underworld today prepared
to defend itself against two new
drives.
Deputy Police Commissioner
O'Connor, in special roundup,
began service of warrants for the
arrest of 1872 gangsters, beer runners
and vice lords.
At the same time. the Employers

aimed at racketeers.

Hum Rays
Buzz of Plane Motor
Lights Up Aviation
Field.

By United Press
DETROIT, Mich, April 49,
- The hum from the motor of
an airplane flying at an altitude
of 1000 feet Tuesday night was
inhaled" by loud speaking radio
device and magnified 100,000,000
times to turn on the flood lights
at the Ford airport.
The innovation in landing field
accommodations was demon
Strated for the first time as a
feature of the National Aircraft
show being held here.
The loud-Speaking instrument
works in reverse order from a
broadcasting device and "inhales"
the noise rather than exhales. 1t
demonstrated the usefulness of
the instrument to aviatorS flying
at night in search of a flying
field.
Only the hum of a plane motor
will cause the electric switch of
the flood lights to, be turned on.
Once the switch is turned on in
this manner, human hands must
be used to turn off the lights.
Officials at the airport said the
instrument would be set in readi-
ness to receive" at shutdown each
day and turned off at daylight.
John Ceilings was the aviator
flying the plane in Tuesday nights
experiment. Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh has been asked to attend
the show and is expected to come
here within the next two days to
make the Official test"
T. Spooner, research engineer
for the Westinghouse Electric
Company, was inventor Of the in
Strument.
He explained while the motor
noise is delicate when it reaches
the instrument, the immense
magnifying force which strength
ems the original hum by 100000
900 times provides the force to
turn the switch.
