 Will Combat RetaIition
 Lu Yung-Huang, president of the Chinese eastern directorate. issued a statement alleging that Soviet Rus sia had been responsible for the cx- 1 pulsion of the Russian railroad off cials and employees, and the rupture l it represented. He concluded with | the omnous statement that China
 was prepared to combat Russian re- 1 taliatory measures.
 His statement said:
 Five years have elapsed since the Mukden agreement of October &,
 1924, during which Soviet violations of the agreement have been so nu-
 merous that Russian actions cannot be construed otherwise than as q
 manifestation of deliberate intention
 to repudiate the act.
 "Only China's concilatory attitude 1 has saved the situation heretofore, China repeatedly called the attention of Russia concerning the latter's
 violations of the 1924 agreement but without avail owing to Russian ln- sincerity Hence the Mukden agree
 ment is void because of Russian
 non observance.
 Moreover Soviet communist pro- paganda through all agencies con-
 nected with the railway is proved | by documentary evidence seized in the recent raid at the Soviet con- sulate general in Harbin: Conso- quently l am constrained to take the present drastic measures to safe guard China's interests in the Chi nese eastern railway.

Melnikov immediately demanded release of the imprisoned men by noon ysterday, the Chinese seizing the remainder of the road forthwith. All soviet agencies i'll northern Manchuria were closed and the labor unions disbanded
 President Ordered seizure
 It was understood the Chinese &C., ton was the direct outcome of meeting at Peping between Chang Hsueh- -Liang. overlord of Manchuria. president of the Ranking govern ment, Chiang kai-Shek. and foreign Minister c. T. Wang. who ordered immediate seizure and full control of the railway.
 Chang was understood here to have entrained immediately for Mukden when he was informed the orders had been put into effect. The Chinese Eastern railway was constructed by the Russian imperial regime at a cost of 35O,000,000 roubles (about S1S0. 000,000) and was a contributing factor to the Russo panese war. Hitherto under two agreements, dated 1920 and 1924. it's directorate has been a board of 10, half Russian and half Chi- nese.

Outrowing the crimson crews in

reputed lack of condition had any
thing TO do with the result. The
Yale oarSmen rowed a smooth, even
race, pulling away from Harvard at
almost every sweep Of their blue
tipped oars.
When Yale upset all traditions
by failing to stop at the finish line
and defiantly rowed on home to
Gales Ferry, the blue oarsmen dem
onstrated that they had come pre-
pared for a gruelling duel which
failed TO materialiZe.
If Harvard had been able to

ARCTIC TERN SETS
MIGRATION RECORD
Bird Makes Regular Flight of
1900 Miles to Antarctic
Region.

The longest regular migration is that
of tie Arctic tern, which passes annu-
ally from Arctic to Antarctic waters,
distance OF 1000 miles. That Of the
wilson's petrol, however, is nearly a.
long, says Nature Magazine. Is 1t breeds
on Antarctic islands during the Winter,
ard spends It's Summer in the North
Atlantic, ranging north to Labrador.
Regular migration is seasonal as
rule and in New England, as in the
rest Of Nortt: America, It's general tend
ency is northward In Spring and
southwark In Autumn. Nevertheless
those who with q telescope have
watched the night migrants crossing
the disk OF the full moon have noted
that the lines OF flight are not par
allel, but cross one another, some veer-
ing far toward the east and some to-
ward the west.
Follow Regular Paths.
Some birds, like the golden plover, 90
To New England In Autumn from far
Northern end Northwestern Canada, but
return in Spring by way Of the Mis-
sissippi Valley region. Some, like the
canvsshack duck, come almost directly
cas- from the Great Plains.
The trapping and banding OF birds,
comparatively new method In orni-
thology, has become popular In New
England. The numbered bands, fur
nished by the Biological Survey, are
marked in such q way that records OF
birds that are recaptured are returned.
An evening groSbeak and o purple
finch banded in Autumn in Michigan
were taken later In Massachusetts,. A
robin banded in New England was
taken in the Winter in Kentucky. Some
hlack-crowned night herons, banded as
fledglings on Cape Cod, were taken In
the following Autumn in Maine, and
several in Quebec, and one in New
Brunswick, nearly 500 miles north Of
Others were taken. one In Michigan, two
in Southern Louisiana, and others south
to the West Indies.
Golden PIover Comes East.
The Pacific golden plover, which
normally rnigrates down the coast of
Asia and to the Hawaiian Islands; the
cape pigeon or pintado petrol Of the
southern oceans. and number Of Euro
pean species, have appeared In New
England.
A tern banded In Maine was found
dead In Africa; gulls banded in Europe
water, and an upland plover, a New
England species. has been recorded in
New Zealand. Such occurrences prob
ably are the result of strong favoring
gales, such as brought great night Of
lapwlngs from Europe to this country In
1927, when they we're scattered along
the coastal region from Baff1n Land to
Maine and attracted the attention of
many.
