Fight on s. Mile Front

MUKDEN, Manchuria, Nov. 5. -
Japanese troops carried several Chi
nese strongholds in a battle with
Heilungkiang forces along a five
mile front in Manchuria today, in
the most alarming warfare of the
present far eastern crisis.
Important strategic positions east
of Tpuchih we're taken by the Jap
anese after a terrific attack on the
left wing of the Chinese, stationed
along the Nonni river. They turned
their next offensive on the north
west position of the Chinese and
heavy fighting ensued.
Two japanese companies attack
ing the left wing reached the line
of Chinese defenses at 10 a. M, but
encountered strong force of 5000
Heilungkiang troops.
Fight in Russian Area
The battle line is in the Tsitsihar
area, near the Chinese Eastern rail-
road, and within the sphere of in
fluence of Soviet Russia.
Casualties were reported heavy,
with at least fifteen killed and many
Others wounded in the first outburst
of fighting.
There were some 600 Japanese
troops in the battle district, but it
was believed reinforcements would
be sent northward from Taonan. be-
cause the Chinese force, led by Cen
eral Ma Chan-Shan, was said to
total around 5000 men.
The Japanese version of the bat
tie was that the Chinese forces APP
preached them at p. m. Wednes-
day carrying a white flag. When
at close quarters, the Chinese were
alleged TO have opened fire.
Japanese Force in Danger
Chinese reinforcementS then
came up and the japanese troops
were reported in a serious position,
although they were heavily armed
with machine guns. The Chinese
had some twenty cannon,
EIlOI W Vlle pdbILCs lAAC OdpdA4GSS
had said their troops would not adj
vance north of the bridge, although
it was admitted that patrols might
have been sent out as a precaution.
No definite military campaign was
intended in the TsitSihar area, how
ever, officials said
The Nonni river battle raised the
possibility of serious complications
with Soviet Russia, which has joint
control of the Chinese Eastern rail-
road and of Tsitsihar. Both Japan
and Russia have made definite
efforts to avoid a clash of inter
ests. They have been reported in
agreement as to their actions in the
district.

THRILL NOT LOOKED FOR

Two young gunner met their
waterloo" in a Carlton cafe recently
when they engaged in a gun battle
with the sheriff of that county as he
attempted to question them. One of
their bullets struck a bystander and
resulted in his death. The men were
arraigned and plead guilty to murder
and burglary charges. One received
life Imprisonment and the other an
indeterminate sentence. Being both
young men in their twenties these
sentences will conf1ne them many
years behind the bars and should
point out to others that this way of
a livelihood is not "all roses"
While it is sad that human life
had to be, sacrificed in the arrest of
two such scoundrels, the work of the
sheriff of Carlton county and other
officers in apprehending these GRIM
inals is very commendable.

STEPHEN MOULTON BABCOCK
(The Capital Times. Madison, Wis.,
Stephen Moulton Babcock, one of the
University's best loved and most hon
ored professors, is dead. He passed
on. victim of the prolonged heat
wave, at the advanced age of SO years
yesterday.
In the list of faculty members who
have brought fame and recognition to
the University of Wisconsin, Prof.
Babcock's name will occupy a promi-
nent and distinctive place. He be-
longed to the old school of univer-
sity men who are more interested in
the Advancement of knowledge and in
the rendition of service to humanity
than in personal aggrandizement or
gain.
The greatest of his discoveries, the
Babcock butterfat test which has be-
come one of the cornerstones of the
dairying industry, he refused to ex-
plot for personal profit, but dedicated
it to the public welfare. Had he chosen
to protect the milk test and his other
discoveries with restrictive patents,
he could have claimed millions for
their use. This he refused to do, be-
lieving that the science which he
helped advance existed for the bene-
| fit of humanity. Thousands upon
thousands of little children are
stronger and better nourished today
as a result of his unselfishness, and
untold numbers of grown-ups owe to
his science their early rugged ground
ing in health.
The Wisconsin campus will miss
the familiar figure of DR.. Babcock,
who to the very last retained his live
ly and sympathetic interest in life
and the human beings about him. At
SO he lived alone, taking care of his
house and a garden, and going about
his affairs with the same vigor and
interest that characterized his whole
life. How often during the cold Madi-
son winters of recent years he was
seen about the lower campus, his
aged but hardy figure clothed only in
light suit coat, while young stud
ents huddled in coonskin overcoats to
escape the cold.

A GREAT MAN

On Saturday, July 18th, George W..
Norris, U. S. senator from Nebraska,
will celebrate his 10th birthday.
Senator Norris stands out as one of
Americas great statesmen. He has
performed and continues to perform
a great public service-a man of un-
daunted courage. His continued fight
in behalf of the average citizen and
his opposition to organized wealth
seeking special privilege from the
government are deserving of the in
creasing gratitude of the inarticulate
masses. We hope he may be spared
to live many years yet to serve the
American public.
The Nation-tbe great national lib
eral weekly-published a tribute to
Senator Norris on Dec. 26, 1923, and
has just reprinted part of that mes
sage, affirming once more the senti-
ments therein. The tribute follows:
Greeting! For twenty years you
have sat in the seats of the power
full in Washington and served your
country faithfully and well. During
all that time, unlike many of your
legislative associates, your soul has
been your own, your vote the vote of
conscience. Wherever you have gone
men have respected you, political OPP
ponents have envied and feared you.
They saw you enter the Senate a re-
former, a progressive; some among
them, laughing cynically and, point
ing to many an example in the Senate
chamber, declared: The system will
overcome him. The system found it
self baffled by brave and honest
man. The years passed; you were
progressive still. The Great War
came, beclouding mems minds, in
shilling passion into their hearts,
making them give out only words of
hate and unreason. You remained
clear in vision, temperate in speech,
loyal to the core. You voted against
the war which was a crime against
America and its every ideal, and in
SO doing you kept the American faith.
You have kept it ever since. Always
you have been the captain of your
SOUL"
