Of all Chinese troops.
The other nations were not so for1
tunate in the possession OF sucn
highly efficient force of planes, became
more or less excited, and partially
manned their positions on numerous oc-
casionS as flashes Of danger were falsely
broadcast. But we, having dennlte ano
reliable information, were able 70 STAND
by, calmly confident.
The situation in China was not al
ways so much a question OF the Chmese
fighting each other as of what some OF
the other foreign nations had in mind
as far as the future was concerned.
One nation wanted us to join IN q
united movement of aggression. we
told its representatives that II they
wanted to fight to do so, but to take
the responsibility.
"If you move" we told them, I'VE

that you are doing this on your own
account and that our country does not
approve the action"
AS we had the largest foreign force
in China and the best equipped, and
as we had the only artillery worth any
thing, and the only aviation unit, they
decided to forget the fight.
Three other times at least the refusal
of the Marines to join other allied forces
in Northern China in aggressive moves
had a quieting effect on all, particularly
the Chinese, who were impressed by our
determined decision not to interfere with
their private wars.
Once we refused to announce whether
or not it was our intention to join in

This, we believed, was cheaper and
more practicable than fighting, for II
would be case Of hurry, hurry to Peip-

children. BY buying off the troops we
could move wherever and whenever we
pleased.
I don't know how we would have
come out with the controller ut home,
but I think our people would have ap-
proved it.
So complete were our plans for the
relief column, and so well drilled our
men, that In one test, made TO show

fortunately, the final takeover of the

OF the Southern forces was accomplished
without rioting and looting, and our

were never utilized.
In preparation for the takeover we
had planned every conceivable effort
peaceably to prevent the Chinese forces
from approaching close to areas occu-
pied by our nationals. First, when we
were convinced the invaders were actu-

proved a check, and the entire plan
was abandoned, much to the gratifica-
ton of the Chinese.
On a second occasion we declined to
join In the issuance Of virtual ultima
tum to the Chinese, which the other
allied commanders had agreed to issue,
requiring the Chinese not only to stop
their advancing troops 20 II (634 Ameri-
can miles) from the limits of Tientsin
but to remove all their troops already
within the city to this 20-h deadline.
The ultimatum was never issued. Had

might have attacked us. On q third

venting the intended extension of the

into the Chinese city proper.

CAUTION in NIGHT
PARKING IS URGED
Headlights Often Make Other
Vehicles and Pedestrians In
visible to Drivers

Headlights facing driver make it
almost impossible for him to see un-
lighted vehicles, parked vehicles,
pedestrians and other objects on
dark nights. This is point which
everyone using the highways at night
should remember, says a Highway
bulletin.
A typical case is cited by the bull
letin. Two outfits belonging to a
highway transport company met on
the pavement in Stearns county at
midnight recently. The drivers stop
ped to exchange trucks. Both trucks
were left with the left wheels on the
pavement and the right wheels on the
road shoulder.
A few seconds after they stopped
a car with several people came
around a curve, going east. The
driver saw the headlights of the
westbound truck but could not see the
east bound truck until it was too late.
One of his passengers was killed,
three were injured, and the car de-
molished.
The drivers of both trucks admitted
that they knew they were stopping in
a dangerous position, but they said
they saw no cars approaching, and
thought the shift could be made in
half a minute. In less than half a
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1929-11-27

minute, however, the other car swung
around the bend and the inevitable
crash happened.
The state traffic act requires that
any vehicles stopped on the highways
outside municipality, whether at
tended or not, must be parked entire
ly off the paved or main travelled por-
ton of the highway. 1t further pro-
vides that clear and unobstructed
width of not less than fifteen feet
must be left for the passage of other
vehicles.
The law makes an exception when
a car is disabled so that it cannot be
moved Immediately. In every case
where vehicle is parked along the
highway at night, care should be TAX
en- that adequate lights are provided,
front and rear, but special attention
be given to the lights when a vehicle
is disabled so that it must be left
momentarily on the Travelled portion
of the road.
The bulletin also calls attention to
the requirement in the traffic act
that all horse drawn vehicles on the
highways at night carry either a tail
light or a reflector. Observing this
law will prevent many accidents
which might otherwise occur when
headlights of one motor car confuse
other drivers.
Pedestrians are also warned to use
extreme caution when walking on the
highways, especially at night. Walk
ing on the left side is usually safer
than on the right. Pedestrians should
remember that where cars are going
both ways it is often difficult for
drivers to see people walking on the
road.

LYDIA POTTER SPOKE
AT ST. PAUL PROGRAM

Boys and girls and others from
Brown county had good reasons to
throw out their chests with Jingle
of pride as Lydia Potter, Springfield,
appeared as the first, Of two club
members of the state chosen to reply
to Mayor Hodgson's welcome address
at the st. Paul auditorium at the
club program, November Is. AS her
little voice rang into the space OF
the theatre in which were seated
1000 friends, national, state and
county, stiffness of al showed since
reness of the occasion.
In the address of welcome Mayor
Hodgson said "St. Paul and the en-
tire state owes you young people a
great deal for helping to make Min
nesota a greater state tomorrow than
it was yesterday. No movement ever
instituted promises so much for he
future welfare of the state as the
All clubs"
lydia Potter showed how club
work is of great value in the expert
ences and associations that become
interviewer. She thanked st. Paul
for the fine banquet. In her club
work of previous years, Lydia had
beef calves as her project and in 1926
took the grand championship. Per

A RAW DEAL

Giving the editorial viewpoint of the Chica-

in which local men were exOnerated by the

article appeared in the Chicago publication

have been used fill the account of the bank
to pay the of securing business, there
by releasing considerable amounts of net earnings for
the payment of dividends but that such stock pre-
mums could not properly have been used for the direct
the payment of such dividends In determining then
whether the dividends warranted or were paid
out of the proper fund you may take into account
these several rules applicable to the various funds of
the bank"
The upper court comments: "This being the law
of the case there is issue of fact for the jury to
decide relative to the payment of unearned dividends
for the theory of the law stated the uncontra-
dcted evidence that the dividends in question had
been paid out of earnings 1t was error therefore,
to submit to the jury the question of whether the
dividends paid had been earned"
Only few of the pointed out by the upper
court have been mentioned here. Yet the upper
court did not discuss all the apparent 1t said
in closing, eve think it unnecessary to discuss the
other matters covered by the assignment of
errors"
1t is deplorable that Mr.. Huston and Mr.. Colo
should have had to live for two years under the cloud
of conviction that has been reversed by the United
States circuit court of appeals on many grounds
and with such telling language. The muttudinous
errors of the lower court gave temporary triumph
