Russia's Rapid Fire Diplomacy.

While the irons of Senate oratory
are still hot, Soviet Russia dramatically
proposes to convert the Kellogg war-re-
nunciation treaty from a debating
theme into an actually. The Moscow
government, first to ratify its adherence
to the pact last Summer, essays to be
the first to put it into practice. In an
identic note to other signatory powers,
Russia invites her immediate neighbors,
Poland and Lithuania. to make the
treaty operative as among the three Of
them. without further delay. Poland is
asked to enter into special agreement
to that end.
This is rapid-fre diplomacy. 1t leaps
with ssven-league boots over the en-
forcement clause Of the multilateral
pact, which provides that it shall not
become effective until fourteen specified
signatories have deposited documents
of ratification" at Washington. AS yet
none has done so.
AS a purely practical proposition,
there is nothing reprehensible in Rus
sia's scheme. 1t is as If three young
sters, who promise to be good, say, a
month hence, should decide as an after
thought to mend their ways fortnight
earlier. The dearly loved intricacies
and formalities of the diplomatic craft
are bound to suggest insuperable bar
riers, but otherwise, unless there are
invisible catches in it, Moscow's plan
to take REORGANIZATION time by the
forelock is at least a refreshing ex-
emplincation Of the theory: IF evsntu-
ally, why not now?"
The Soviet government points out
that Russia continues to consider the
Kellogg treaty deficient in that 1t con-
tains no proviso for disarmament. 1.-The
most essential element for guaranteeing
peace" Inasmuch as the anti-war pact
does impose upon its participants GER
tain obligations Of a peaceful char
acter," Russia seeks to make 1t forth
with incumbent not only upon itself
but Its nearest neishboring states"
It remains to be seen whether Poland
and Lithuania, which are living at
armed peace with Russia, and have
various grudges against her to avenge,
will jointly swallow the bait so seduc-
lively dangled from the Soviet hook.
The czars now enthroned In the Krem-
lin undoubtedly are playing for bigger
stakes than q sterilization Of relations
with their Polish and Lithuanian
friends" They are making a palpable
bid for recognition by the numerous
important governments, including that
Of the United States, which resolutely
abstain from official relations with the
Communist government.
Perhaps NJ Litvinof, the Russian
foreign minister, timed his coramunique
for the psychological moment of SEN
ator Borah's splendid fight for ratihca-
ton CT the Kellogg pact in the Senate.
Moscow has not forgotten that the for
eign relations chairman favors Ameri-
can recognition of the Soviet, or his
suggestion that when the United States
accepted Russian adherence to the pact,
We automatically acknowledged her
diplomatic equality.

An Epic Flight.

History is being written in the skies
over California. The big Army tri-
motored Fokker plane Is still aloft. is
engines droning steadily on, to bring
new glory to American aviation. Early
in the morning on New Year day the
crew OF five took the Army transport
plane off the ground. Its whtels have
not touched terra firma since. At reg
uIar intervals nurse" ship appears
alongside to transfer fuel and supplies
to the brave crew whose names will be
inde!ibly engraved in the ledger of fly
ing accomplishment. More than seven
tons of gasoline, oil and food have been
transferred in midair. both night and
cay, from smaller planes to the big
Fokker, which, appropriately, has been
named the Question Mark"
Last night the Question Mark broke

noon today. Washington time, ap-
preaching the s-hundred-hour mark,

impossible-the feat Of staying aloft
longer than a lighter-than-air ship,
One hundred and eighteen hours the
French Dixmude scared above the
earth, while the Graf Zeppelin took
more than one hundred and eleven
hours to reach the United States from
Germany on its recent trip. The Cues
ton Mark has flown farther than
either of these two dirigibles, with an
estimated mileage Of more than seven
thousand. It will not be until tomor-
row morning, however, granting that
they are still in the air, that the crew
Of the Army plane will have the dis
tinction of covering not only the great
est distance, but of remaining aloft
longer than any other humans in the
history of the infant art of flying.
There was a time, not 50 long past,
when railroad engines must stop to take
on water. Today, at sixty miles an
hour or better, the thirsty engines
scoop UP water from troughs between
the tracks. Only short time ago q
flying machine could stay aloft as long
as the gasoline which 1t was able to lift
of the ground held out, provided, of
course, that no motor breakage devel-

the successful. experiment now being
carried on by the.Army, it is well within
the realm Of possibility that refueling

1t is an intriguing thought. A nom

York in twenty hours, with the plane
carrying twenty passengers or mare,

great amount of gasoline, due to the
fact that at regular intervals, night or
day, it will be refueled by ships which
lie in wait for its appearance. At one
step this Army experiment has opened
tJp unlimited potentialities for Aging

an almost insurmountable problem of

available in present-day planes for car

truly being written in the skies above

NOTRE DAME TEAM
 FAVORED ID WIN
Meets Southern California in Outstanding Game Tomorrow

1 New York, Nov. 15 (F)-The odds are with the home forces in the big conflicts of the gridiron tomorrow, if Soldier Field is considered as home" for Notre Dame in it's clash with the Trojans of Southern Cali fornia.
 In the five games of most sig nificance so far as the championship situation is concerned, nationally, the Hoosiers figure to start with an advantage over Southern California, Pittsburgh appears to have the edge over Carnegie Tech, Tennessee is slight favorite over Vanderbilt in the outstanding southern fray, Pur- due seems primod to stop Iowa and Yale looks too strong for the Prince ton Tiger
 It will take tomcrrow's fray to de- termne whether the bcarish move mcnt among tRe favorites is still on, with the underdogs again enjoying field day such as they had last week.
 One of the contrasting features of these outstanding games tomorrow IS that while less than 50,G00 spec tators will witness the Tcne8ace- Vanderbilt and Purdue-Iowa games, because of the limited facilities, ap- proximately 25O,000 will see the other three games.
 Close to 1900 fans are expected to pack huge Soldier Field for the Notre Dame Southern California contest, with 7S,0oO in the Yale Bowl and more than Co,o00 n Pitt Stadium.
 The Iowa-Purdue battle with the Rig Ten championship aspirations of the Boilcrmakers at stake, would just about pack any arena in the middle west but the capacity of the Ros3-Adc Stadium at Lafayette is not much over 20,o00. The same thing is true of the Tennessce-N Van derbilt contest. which involves the southern conference title hopes of each team.
 In nearly every sector Of combat tomorrow promises to witness close and exciting action between old rivals. In the east. Cornell stakes an unbcatnn record against Dart mouth with at least an outside chance of victory. Colgate is the rayorite against Syracuse but this ancient rivalry is rcplete with the evidence Of upscts.
 In the Big Ten, with Iowa and Purdue holding the spotlight, Mime sota and Illinois will attempt to keep within striking distance of the top by seeking the scalps of Michi- gan and Chicago respectively. De feat for Purdue will scramble the entire situation.

Banker made 3.2 yards average for every time he took the ball. Most of the punches were straight into the Bulldog line. He scored two or the three touchdowns and played the full GO minutes. In the clos ing seconds of the game he carried the ball six times for 25 wards in a drive that was halted on Georgia's 13-yard line by the final whistle.
 In addition Banker is a punter and can pass. but this year Ike has been throwing him most of the passes.

MANY PENALTIES
 AS HOCKEY OPENS
Confusion Is Caused as New
 Rules Are Put Into Effect

New York, Nov. 15 LP - The great experiment of the National Hockey league met with some sue cess and much confusion in it's first test as the season opened last night The aim of the new code of rules, to increase scoring. was attained with out much trouble. But misunder- standings about the defense rule brought an unexpected number of penalties.
 Tho four games which opened the season saw a total of 20 goals scored and two of the contests resulted in deadl"cks. The penalty total was far higher, SS fouls being committed by the eight teams. The battles be- tween the New York Rangers and Montreal Maroons and between Les Canadiens of Montreal and the Ot- tawa Senators brought the most penalties, 26 each. Boston and De- trot were penalized 20 times while Chicago and Toronto got off with 16.
 The combination Of free scoring and tie games was another uncX- pectcd angle. Les Canadiens. the speed kings of the ice who were eX- pected 10 profit by the faster game, tallied three times, but Ottawa S Senators, previously known as a defensive team cqualled that total. The Toronto Leafs and the re- juvenated Chicago Blackhawks got two goals each for another tie at Toronto.
 The worlds champions Of last sailing against Detroit after the wild first period. Each team scored twice in the open frame. but the Bruins got three more goals past Dolly Dol son for a 5-2 triumph. The New York Rangers, second last year, Montreal Maroons in raggedly played fourth contest.
 A set of individual experiments being conducted by the teams with their recruits turned out very well. A pair of Ranger rockies, Colds worthy and Quenneville tallied the opening goal for New York. New corners also had an important hand in the Toronto and Chicago scoring Charlie Conacher, young brother of the New York American manager who is just up from the amateurs, tailed once for the Leafs and Joe Primcau provided an assist. Tom my Cook, Chicago youngster, got one assist for the Hawks
 Cooncy Weiland flashed back In the limelight at Detroit, scoring two of Roston's goals and assisting in two others. Aurel Joliat of Les Canadiens tallied twice and had one assist.
