LEASES WIRES

New York, Aug. 9.-P)-The
Geographic service of the Western
Union company has been vastly in
creased in message capacity as a
result of several non-exc!usive con-
tracts entered into with the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany.
Among the contracts announced
by President Walter S. Clifford OF
the Telephone company is one
whereby Western Union kilograms
will be sent over the telephone wires
simultaneously with telephone con.
versations.
Through the use Of the existing
telephone lines, it is pointed out, the
Telegraph company will save large
sums required in erecting new pole:
and stringing new wires, which i!
estimated to cost between 5000 ant
$1,000 a mile.
Another contract provides for tn,
leasing by the Western Union Of ap
paratus developed in the Bell Tele
phone laboratories for use on tele
graph circuits permitting severa
telegraphic messages to be sen
simultaneously on the one wire.
third contract makes available t,
Western Union patrons the Tele
phone company's telephoto service
for the sending Of facsimile mes
sages.

CHINESE CRISIS
LOOMS AS JAPS
WARN LEADERS
Acts Regarded as Inimical to
Japan's Interest Bring
Formal Notes

Tokyo, Aug. 9.-CR-Indications
are seen Of a new crisis in China.
Japan has sent formal warnings
to both governments against acts re-
garded as inimical to Japan's IN
terests.
To Chang Hseuh-liang, military
governor Of Manchuria, word went
that he must not put the province
under the domination of the Marking
Nationalist government.
A note was sent the Marking gov
eminent stating that unless the Ma
tionalists change their attitude
toward Japan's interests in China
''the Japanese government may be
obliged TO take such measures as it
deems suitable for safeguarding
rights and interests assured by the
treaties"
Marking has already notified
Japan Of it's abrogation of CONNER
cial treating granting extraterri-
torial rights to Japanese. Japan's
claim that the abrogat!on is illegal
has been ignored by Marking.
Premier Tanaka told the cabinet
meeting that he had reliable in
formation that Chang Hsueh-liang
and Chang Kai-shek, Nationalist
military commander, had worked out
the draft Of an agreement to extend
the Nationalist rule into Manchuria.
It is understood here that the agree
ment gives Marking control of Man.
churian foreign relations, while
granting Manchuria complete auton.
omy in domestic affairs.
Japan fears that without the pro-
lection afforded by present treaties
its supplies Of raw industrial materi-
ais from Manchuria will be cut off
and that property and lives of its
citizens in China will be endangered.

ILLINOIS, USUALLY REPUBLICAN,
DEBATABLE GROUND IN 1928 RACE

Smith, even should Hoover's farm
stand fail to satisfy them. In the
small cities and villages, not who'll
ly influenced by surrounding rural
thought, the Hoover efficiency and
his reputation as an administrator
are expected to give him the edge
over Smith. Smiths Tamnany affil-
iations are being stressed there.
The Republicans contend the wom-
ems vote in every section will 60
to Hoover, and that it will to a
great extent offset the wet" senti-
ment in Chicago. The Women's
Christian Temperance Union is par
ticularly active in behalf Of the Re-
publican national ticket.

leaders in the state, except Lowden

Chicago, Aug. 9.-tE)-There is q
catch in their Threats as if appre-
hension had curdled their confidence
when the usual optimistic claims are
made by Illinois Republican and
Democratic leaders this year.
Illinois, with a reputation for hav-
ing been out Of the republican
column in the presidential electoral
college only twice, is debatable
ground for both the state and ma
tional tickets. Behind the silence of
those who vote without talking
about tor fail to vote--lies the
November decision In the debate.
Prohibition and the farm situa-
ton dwarf any other mentioned is
sues in the state. There is, OF
course, religious element to be
considered, blu. it scarcely is whis-
pered. The line Of religious cleav-
age is the same as with other po-
| !itical factors-the division between
urban upstate and rural downstate,
Chicago with its high percentage OF
catholics and rural Illinois chiefly
| protestant.
Just how strongly the wet" ele-
ment in Cook county seat Of Chi
cago, in Peoria, in East S. Louis
and others of the larger cities, will
fall! in behind the modification BAN
ner of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, largely
will determine Illinois position after
the vote counting next November.
To effect this there will need to be
wholesale defections from the Re-
publican ranks as the state normally
is republican by several hundred
thousand.
In 1912, when one group Of Re-
publicans followed Taft and another
Roosevelt, Wilson carried the state.
Cleveland won the state over Harri-
son in 1892.
Farm leaders declare the majority
of Illinois farmers are indifferent
to both Governor Smith, the demo-
cratic presidential nominee, and
Herbert Hoover, the Republican
choice. Straw votes taken by agri-
cultural publications bear this out.
Mr.. Hoover's references to farm re-
lief in his speech of acceptance may
change this situation, republican
| lCAOGIS say.
The silence Of Frank O. Lowden
, former governor, who withdrew as
a candidate at Kansas City after
the convention approved the major
ity farm plank, has had an uneasy
effect upon the farmers.
If there is apathy in the rural
regions, and farmers to any great
number remain away from the polls
there is the possibility that urban
upstate will be able, for the first
time, to outvote rural downstate.

Rotarians Enjoy

A. G. Johnston, acting as chair
man of yesterday 8 regular weekly
luncheon of the El Centre Rotary
Club, ably demonstrated his ability
as "pinch hitter" deluxe by
framing a. last-minute program out
Of thin air, applying entertainment
of sort making up in variety what
it lacked in quality here and there
Scheduled features failing to
materialize, "Johnnv' did the next
best thing and put on one of those
meetings where you take what you
get and make the most of it. As
near as we can get to it, the theme
of the thing seemed to be, "What
Gets Your Goa" - at any rate,
Johnston proceeded to get Doug.
Deeble's goat by calling upon him
to sing, whereupon the latter got
the goats of all present by actually
attempting to comply with the re-
quest. Thereafter, the responses of
various members to the chairman s
query, "What gets your goat 20
supplied many amusing results, a
mong them Ralph Cary's voiced OBJ
lection to paying full price for a
haircut.
A widely-traveled visiting Rotar-
ian, Walter Todd of Santa Monica,
saved the day by delivering most
interesting talk concerning his ex-
periences among Rotarians through
out the world, and the program was
further supplemented by personal
life histories given by two recently
acquired members, c. C. Kuykendall
and H. w. Burkhart, both of whom
handled their subjects in engaging
fashion.
Two brand new Rotarians were
introduced to their fellows in the
