Diplomatic Body at Peiping
May Order Flight of
Nationals.
TOXIC HOPE FOR PEACE
is DOUBTED IN LONDON
Reports of Border Violation Are
Unconfrmed as Chinese Mobilize
Men and Munitions.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, August PA Peiping
dispatch to the Daily Mail today said
the diplomatic body there was consid-
ering ordering evacuation of all ma
tionals from Harbin, Manchurian rail-
road center, in view of continued re-
ports of Russian advance against
that city.
Anticipation of serious trouble in the
event the Soviet Far Eastern army
moves against the railway seat was held
here to be back of their deliberations.
The Soviet advance has been reported
as imminent for the last two or three
days.
Peace Held Doubtful.
The London Times, summarizing
events of the past week editorially, to-
day seemed doubtful that peace would
be maintained and thought the hope
full tone taken by Toxic could be dis
counted by the fact it was to Japan's
interest to see that war was averted
The Times suggested Japan's wishes
were father to the thought.
Othsr Far Eastern dispatches con-
tlnued to refer to the probability of
Soviet attack and violation of the
Manchurian frontiers, but there were
no trustworthy reports that the ad-
vance actually had begun.
among Scanty adviceS Seeping in
from the frontier was a dispatch to
the Mail which said Ken Ksi Shan,
governor Of Shansi Province. has COL
lected materials for construction of an
arsenal at his capital. Tia Yuan Flu,

receiving munitions. The inference
drawn from the reports was that
President Chang Kai Shek had failed
10 achieve the national unity he sought.
Moscow Denies Invasion.
As China continued its intensive
preparations for any eventuality in
Manchuria, official denial was made in
Moscow of any Soviet invasion of that
territory.
The foreign relations committee of
the Nationalist government met in
Marking and in secret session drew ,Ip
proposals for defense, which were SUBJ
ni1tted to the State Council. A japanese
dispatch from Marking said that 81

disposal OF Marshal Chang Hsueh Lang
Tor purchase of war materials and
other military costs by the centrSs gov
ernment. This marked the first time
that credit had been extended the
Manchurian government by the Ma
tionalist government
Despite the Russian denial that its
troops had crossed the Manchurian
border, Chinese unofficial sources main
tanned that the Russians still held

which severe battle was reported to
have been waged several days ago.

ARE YOU AMBITIOUS?

Do YOU have ambition? Doubtless
you think you have, but have you :?
Do you really know what ambition
is? Says Herbert N. Casson: prob
ably not more than one man out of
ten has any ambition at all. Ambition
is not merely wishing and hoping and
painting pictures in your mind of
what great man you will be. Day
dreaming! That is not ambition. Be-
ing discontented with what you've
got! That is not ambition. Reading
about glorious deeds and imagining
yourself doing things like that-that
is not ambition.
"No. Ambition is active, not pass
i've. Ambition is the process of self
development. 1t is day by day mat
ter. 1t is something you Do, not
something you Wish. Ambition is
wishing plus will-power and perse-
verance. An ambitious man is one who
does his job better today than he did
it yesterday. He is a man who is
improving Observation-Disclosures
ing steadily up towards the top. No
lazy man is ever ambitious. He only
pretends he is, to excuse his laziness.
Ambition is only another word for
growth And growth depends on cour-
age and industry and reading good
books, and common sense, and keep
ing at it. If young man wants t.
become more ambitious, he can do Sc
by following these two simple rules
"1) Learn something new every
day.
"(2) Do something better every
| day.
"The test of true ambition is
Action"
Now, after that ask yourself again
if you really are ambitious and are
genuinely striving to make your am
| bitions NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Maga-
| zine for September /.

DON'T BE- IN A HURRY
YOUNG MAN!

We are sometimes informed that
This is the age of young men" From
which we are supposed to understand
that now, as never before, the world
is run by young men.
1t would be very unfortunate for
the young men of this generation if
they should take this counsel serious
ly. Any man who tells this sort of
story to young men today may justly
be suspected of very shallow brand
of thinking.
In all ages of the worlds history
there have been occasional individuals
who did their great work before 40,
and few at an even younger age.
Alexander "The Great" finished his
life at 49, And that was % centuries
ago. Robert Burns wrote his i'm
mortal poems before he was 81. That
was in the 18th century; not in the
goth.
Turn now to our own day. When
President Hoover recently chose his
cabinet, presumably the ablest coun-
sellors he could select from our popu-
lation of 115,000,000, he picked men
whose ages average well above CO.
the youngest is 81 the oldest rs.
The outstanding generals of the
World War were approaching 70.
Hindenberg, since head of the Ger
man government, at 80, was nearly
70 when the war began. Foch, who
lead the allies to victory, was but
slightly younger than his rugged op-
ponent. Pershing was 81 when we
entered the war.
So it is in all walks of life and in
all lines of business and the profess
sions.
All talk to the contrary is doing
grave injustice to the rising genera
tion. The young man who thinks he
has arrived" or that he will arrive"
this side of so or more likely go, is
the man whose developments is prob
ably already arrested. He is the fell
low who will be punching the time
clock for his more modest rival when
he is 35, and in the discard at 45.
The Prig Whom some one has defin-
ed as "the fellow who is overfed for
his size), and the smart alec, have
never run the world, and never will,
except to run it into the ground.
This generation needs mature men
OF power. The net generation will ex-
perience the same great need. The
world is not becoming simpler prob

DID YOU EVER THINK

That kind word put out at inter-
est brings back an enormous percent
age of love and appreciation
That though loving thought may
not seem to be appreciated, it has yet
made you better and braver because
of it?
That the little acts of kindness and
thoughtfulness day by day are really
greater than one immense act of
goodness once a year?
That to be always polite to the peo-
pie at home is not only more lady
| like but more refined than having
company manners?
That to Judge anybody by his per-
sonal appearance stamps you as not
only ignorant, but vulgar?
That to talk about yourself and
your belonging is very tiresome for
the people who listen?

Present-day whoopees, however, are
crafty. Reputation and defeat have

from outside by organizing dual

They profit by the lesson of 1890
when the Socialist Trades and Labor

Between those cycles the workers
were dazzled by numerous minor rain

Space does not permit list of A.

the whoopee. Delegates to these con-

Manhood is impossible without free

from others the power to dictate their
lives. Workers, by this act, overthrow
an age-long autocracy.
This is of no interest to the whoo-

but he lacks the courage to state his
