THREE VETERANS
BRAVELY FIGHT

Aged Civil War Warriors
Keep Pledge Made Years
Ago.
BY HECTOR PERRIER
United Press Staff Correspondent

ST. PAUL, July 20. W.D-The
Last Man s Club crept past another
milestone here today and the three
survivors met perhaps in their final
stand.
They were John s. Goff, 81, st.
Paul; Charles Lockwood, 81,
Chamberlain, s. D., and Peter Hall,
90, Atwater, MINI.
Forty three years ago these were
but three of the 317 stalwart vet
Grams of Company B, First Mime
sofa Volunteer Infantry, who band
ed together in a Saltwater tavern
and put by a bottle of rare Bur
gundy wine from which one of their
numbers should drink ''last man 5
toast.'
It was obvious today to those who
have seen the once lustry group
dwindle to Goff, Lockwood and
Hall, that the lonely toast was not
far away.
Goff may yet be in fancy tine
courageous youth who carried his
wounded commanding officer tt
safety at the battle of Peach Or
chard but to all others he was 6
nearly sightless, nearly deaf
shrunken little old man locked fol-
the remainder of his life to his
chair.
Peter Hall, the eldest of thu
"last man's' tiny army, too wa.
an old man who gave the impression
Of one who had lost interest in the
| chase.
Lockwood alone is in fair health
but as Goff's beloved "Peter'
said: "No man at 81 can expect toe
much of life.'
Yet the meeting Of the three was
not without merriment and the talk
turned to good substantial wars
| rather than to such frail stuff as
future years.
When he was asked whether the
club would meet again next year
Goff, self appointed spokesman OF
the little group piped out in tru'
soldier fashion:

ASSERTS CHINA
and SOVIET ARE
PLAYING BLUFF
Japanese Representative
OF Manchurian Road
Does Not Expect War.
BY PAUL FREDRIX
UNITED Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 20. W.H -
China and Russia are only "bluff-
ing'' each other and will reach a
peaceful eleventh houro compro-
mise of their dispute over the Chin
ese Eastern Railway, in the belief
of Toshi Go, American representa-
tive Of the South Manchuria Rail
way.
"Japan has an immediate eco
nomic interest in the quarrel and is
nervously watching its political as
pects," Go told the United Press to-
day, "but is unlikely to send ad-
ditional troops to Manchuria for the
present. Meanwhile both the Chin.
ese and Russians are losing money
by their dispute and the Japanese
controlled South Manchuria Rail
way is profiting."
Go said neither Russia nor China
was prepared to wage real war in
Manchuria.
"Russia g base of supplies and
men is too far away" he explained,
"and Chang Hsueh-Ling, governor
of Manchuria, would be wary Of un-
dertaking a campaign against q
Soviet army since bad blood between
President Chang Kai-Shek and Gen
eral Feng YuHsiang in central
China would make his support un
certain.'
Can Not Hold Road
Young Chang is turning out mum
tions at his Mukden arsenal as fast
as his late father, Chang Tso-Lin
ever did, according to Go, but be-
cause he has not cooperated sc
closely with Japan as his sire was
accustomed to-, he is unable to count
on japanese help in crisis.
Repeated warnings that Japa1
would not countenance war in Man
churia are additional bars to armed
hostility, Go believes.
| While the Chinese are quoted a!
saying they intend to retain contro
of the Chinese Eastern Railway
they can not do so because OF
Chinese Russian agreement of 1872
unless they are prepared to buy tn
road outright, Go said, and the.
have experienced difficulty in Dor
rowing funds. A compromise o:
some sort with Russia is their hope
he added, since they already hav'
violated the agreement by selling
the railway ON the pretext that Rus
sian officials employed by the roat
spread Soviet propaganda.
AS matters stand now, Go said, M

No Consolidation

Despite rumors to the effect that

"That may be the basis for the

today. However, there is no basis
for such a consolidation and the Con-

to say about such matter even
though they might make recon-
mendation of that nature at the
meeting tomorrow.
1t is expected that the majority
