 CHINA OFFICERS
T hree Thousand Moslem Males Literally Massa-
 cred, Reports State

HANKOW, China, Sept 25.-Ad- ditional details of the massacre of 5000 Moslems in Kanshut Province by the Chinese authorities said the Moslems were asked to go to Taochow for a conference and re- ceive roasted barley. Upon their arrival all males between the ages of Is and 50 years, were separated from the women and children and taken outside the city walls and butchered like sheep.
 No word reached the women until the next day when pitiful scenes were enacted. While the women sought to identify the dead, mourn ful cries shrieked through the city.
 The Moslems were concentrated in TaochoW because of the intense famine in Southwest Kansu which resulted in thousands being reduced to desperate starvation and suffer- ing which was intensified by being forced to live unsheltered because of warfare with the Chinese.

NEW SAFETY FOR PLANES

Elimination of Fog as Fly. ing Hazard Now Seems
 to Be Assured

MITCHELL FIELD, N. Yo Sept. 25.-Elimination of fog as 9 flying hazard seemed assured in dem onstration of three instruments which enabled pilot to rise and fly the plane with the cockpit com pletely covered.
 Lieut.. James Doolittle, Army Rac- ing Pilot, took off in plane and directed it over a 15-mile course and landed within a few yards of the starting point by the solely use of instruments.
 The test was made under the di- rection of Harry Guggenheim and the instruments upon which he re- lied were artificial horizon, visual radio receiver, and delegate baro- metric altimeter.
 The radio receiver consists of two vibrating reeds which indicate when the plane is heading directly for an object. When over the ob- ject deviation right or left causes one reed to vibrate more rapidly than the other
 The altimeter is so sensitive that it measures the altitude of the plane within a few feet of the ground, making possible a saf landing on an obscure field.
 Guggenheim said the instruments were not complicated and were not prchibitive in cost.
