NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-For his 40 years effort in the interest of world peace, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler has been awarded what he himself characterizes as "the highest honor that can come ot anyone in the field of international relationships" -the Nobel Peace Prize for 1881
 Sharing the award with him is Jane Addams, founder of Hull House, who in very quiet way" Dr. Butler says, has given prac- tically her whole life in the cause of peace"
 Dr. Butler, president of Columbia university, is of middle height, his hair is gray and his forehead high. He is stocky, decisive in his move ments. He talks easily, even under a barrage of questions, forming long sentences of perfect conStruc- ton with no effort Not only is his speech easy but if he wishes to talk about a subject at all he is outspoken.
 For instance. Senator Hiram Johnson proposes a legislative in- vestigation of foreign bond flota- tions in this country. Says Dr. Butler:
 Johnson is interested only in making trouble. He hasn't been heard from TOT long time. Now he thinks it's time to do some

TROOPS CONCENTRATING

MUKDEN, Dec. 28.-Heavy con- centration of Japanese troops in the region of Yingkow lead ob- servers to predict a major Japan csc offensive toward Chinchow, the last stand of the Chinese forces in Manchuria.
 A considerable number of rein forcements have arrived from Japan now bringing the Japanese in Man churia up to approximately 10000 men. The exact number of soldiers is, however, guarded but it is said Japan no longer considers itself bound to keep the total below the treaty figures of about 16,000.
 Troops Are Stationed
 Three battalions of infantry and one battalion of artillery are re- ported stationed at Tien Chaung Tai and others are already at Yingkow or on the way.
 Four thousands Chinese are re- ported entrenched a few miles from Tien Chaung Tai.
