bean CROP GIVEN
. BLAME FOR BATTLE
Exports Made Rail Bridges
Repair Necessary, Says
Japanese Envoy.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

While the Japanese Ambassador at
Washington. Katsudji Debuchi. IA still
endeavoring to persuade the American
Government that the Japanese govern
ment has no actual hostile intentions
toward China; while the Council of
the League of Nations through NJ. Aris-
tide BRAND is keeping the wires hot
reminding the Japanese government
1t must withdraw all its troops from
Manchuria by the sixteenth Of this
month. the Japanese war Office Is ad-
mtnistering the Chinese q lesson In
economies.
The Japanese military are trying to
persuade the Chinese that soya beans
are important to the welfare of China
and Japan. And in order to make
this quite convincing q small battle Is
now raging along the Nonni River Al
though the battle would have been
termed a mere skirmish In tEe World
War, it is all the same the most i'm
tween the Japanese and the Chinese
since September Is. when Japanese
troops entered the Chinese territory.
Explanation Of Battle.
According to explanations offered by
Ambassador Debuchi this is what hap
pened: Two bridges on the Nonnl Riv-
er. not far from the important strategic
railway knot of TsitSihar, were dam
aged by the Chinese. These bridges
are situated in that section Of Man
churia, which under the secret treaty
of 1925 between Russia and Japan is
to be considered in the Russian zone
Of influence.
The Japanese general stan decided
that the bridges must be repaired at
once: not for any strategic reason, the
Japanese Ambassador at washington
explained, but in order to enable the
Chinese soya bean growers to export
their crops into Southern Manchuria
and Korea. There are thousands and
thousands Of tons Of soya beans in
that district, the Japanese Ambassador
explained and 1t would be pity II the
Chinese cultivators we're made to suffer
because two bridges had been blown up
by Chinese brigands who wanted to
avoid Japanese advance into Western
Manchuria. Soya beans are also the
staple food Of the Koreans and the
Japanese general staff was worried lest
the Korean population deprived OF their
favorite dish would prove restless and
embarrassing to the Japanese govern
ment.
The commander in chief OF the
Japanese army operating in Southern
Manchuria decided consequently to
send a small engineer party to repair
them he also sent a battalion OF In
fantry with the repair gang.
japanese Outhumbered.
The Chinese regarded the presence
of the Japanese troops as a sign their
unwelcome neighbors intended to ex-
tend their sphere of influence and fred
on the Japanese troops as soon as they
reached the shores of the Nonni River.
The Japanese were heavily out
number, 500 infantry against some
5000 Chinese regulars well equipped
and provided with ample ammunition.
The first hour of this economic en-
counter" cost the Japanese, according
to Toxic reports, is casualties. A
whole Japanese brigade was rushed
last night to the Nonni River and ac-
cording to reports received this morn
ing, the Japanese are endeavorinR to
dislodge the Chinese from their present
strong position.

Deed Upon Which He OBJ
tanned $500.

William ]. Dow, a member of the bar
since 1913, has been disbarred by order
Of the general term of the District SUI
preme Court. The order was signed by

conveying property of a client TO an
other person, upon which he obtained
loan of $500.
Dow had asked that he be suspended
instead of being disbarred. He said his
troubles were due to sever losses result
ing from the slump in the real estate
market and he had undergone great
suffering and hardship. The court
ruled his offense Is too serious" and
entered final order OF disbarment.

LAVAL CITES NEED
FOR HELP OF U. S.
Premier LaudS Hoover for
His Deep Concern for
Humanity of World.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November Sin the flrst
public address he has made since his
return from Washington, Premier Pierre
Laval told the American Club today
that his conversations with President
Hoover had emphasized the need for
ever closer collaboration between the
United States and France.
President Hoover looks upon the
worlds problems with deep concern
for humanity and with the lucidity of
a great statesman" he said.
The proper method of re-examinins
Germany's capacity to pay reparations
became the pivotal point yesterday in
the Franco German negotiations grow
ing out Of Javal's conversations with
Hoover.
This was learned after Baron Calf
fer drHestroy Ambassador from Bel
gium-the nation which, with France,
Is chiefly interested in German repa-
rstions-had been received by the
premier.
Admits Germany's Incapacity.
It was understood M. Laval informed
the Ambassador Of what happened at
his conference Tuesday with DR.. Leo
pold Won Hoesch, Germany's diplomatic
representative in Paris.
In quarters well informed about the
problem of reparations the statement
was made that, in the joint communi-
que issued by Premier Laval and Presl-
dent Hoover In Washington, France ad-
mitted Germany's incapacity TO observe
to the letter the Young plan OF repara-
lions payments.
The French are insisting on a
special Advisory Committee, as pro-
vided by the Young plan, but the Ger
mans contend such committee would
be too restricted in its powers to cx-
anime the situation thoroughly.
DR.. Won Hoesch is understood TO
have asked M. Laval for an mterna-
tional conference or a reunion OF the
experts designated by the interested
governments, with full powers.
In Paris It is considered likely that
II France insists on using the machin-
cry of the Young plan Germany may
ments endow the committee with the
power to examine unconditional as well
as conditional reparations.
The belief here is that the Franco
German negotiations will continue ana
NAV produce tangible results DeIore
the end of the month, when M. Laval
will have had an opportunity to feel
out his parliamentary majority.
International financial matters were
the subject of a conference yesterday
attended by Finance Minister r. h
Fiandin. DIR. Rudolf Hflferding, former
German Finance Minister, and Jean v.
Parmentier and Prof. Charles Rist'
FRENCH experts, who accompanied M.
laval to the United States.

are disappointed" Mr. Mooney ex-
planned woefully, land there is no tell
ing how many more must be turned
away unless this stops"
For that reason, Postmaster Mooney
called the Star today and requested,
or rather implored, that he be given
the space to notify the army Of unem-
ployed that there are no more jobs to
fill and please not to mail another
application.
A Waterman stands guard at the
door of the PostmaSter's office to drive
away the applicants who wish per-
sonal interview and posters have been
placed outside notifying the public that
no more applications can be filed. Yet
still they arrive, brought IN person and
through the mails.
Mr.. MONEYS troubles do not end
after office hours.
las soon as I get home" he sighed,
the telephone begins to ring and its
the same old story over again.
Few Fail to Write.
Members Of Congress are not the
only persons in high authority who
are trying to get postal job for some
one There are very few prominent
Government officials who have not
written in or telephoned, Mr.. Mooney
explained. The Veterans Bureau
American Legion, welfare agencies and
the District Committee on Employ
ment all have joined the rush. Chair
man E. c. Graham of the District En-
ployment Committee, however. readily
agreed to let Mr.. Mooney attend to the
Jobs when the situation was explained
to him.
Postmaster Mooney lays good deal
of his present troubles to Clifford <
Berryman's cartoon in The Star of
October 20 representing Mr.. Mooney as
Santa Claus bearing bag bulging
with 1000 jobs. That was fine
cartoon" he said, but when it ap-
peared my troubles multiplied by the
thousands. We were literally swamped
with applications"

CHINESE VERSION OF FIGHT.
Says Battle Followed Refusal to obey
Troops withdrawal Order.

SHANGHAI, China, November 5 LP).
Yesterdays fighting at the Nenni
River Bridge In Manchuria, where Is
Japanese soldiers were killed, began,
according to the version circulated here,
when the Chinese general, Nah Chan
Shar refused to obey a Japanese order
to withdraw his troops TO point 10
kilometers from the bridge.
Fifty Japanese soldiers crossed to the
north bank of the river without meet
ing resistance and there took three Chi
nese pickets prisoner.
There followed a conference between
the Japanese consul and the Chinese
authorities at Tsitsihar, at which 1t was
agreed that everything would be done
to avoid q clash.
The Japanese commander, however,
the Chinese version maintains, de-
manded verbally that Gen. Mah's troops
evacuate their position by noon. When
the ultlmatum expired 200 Japanese
troops crossed the river and opened
fire but were driven back.
Then, according to this report, the
Japanese commander brought up bomb
ing planes to assist the counter attack
and these inflicted heavy casualties.
Chinese reports say that two jap
anese regiments have been sent to re-
inforce the Japanese commander and
that important developments are likely.
