appeared to have been driven out by
the Japanese, who are determined he
shall not re-establish his control there.
This determination was probably the
real reason for the bombing Of Chin
chow, which Chang had made his
temporary capital. Civic organiza-
lions In Manchuria appealed to the
Nationalist government to resume re-
lations with Soviet Russia. saying
that only in that way could the an
nexation Of Manchuria by Japan be
prevented. Marshal Chang was NOV
ing his troops to strategic points, and
evidently was backed up by President
Chang Kai-shek, who has declared
himself prepared to go to war with
Japan If the efforts of the league and
the United. States are futile.
CPAIN'S national assembly b. an
~ overwhelming vote adopted an
article In the new constitution the
republic which declares that mo state
religion exists" Thus was the Cath
Ollie church divorced from its union
with the state which has existed for
many centuries. The article also
bans the church from engaging in
commercial. industrial and education
al activities.
Another article which would dis
solve all church orders was rejected,
but one was adopted that provides for
the expulsion of all Jesuits from Spain,
to take place when the constitution
goes into effect. Only the Socialist
radicals insisted on the wholesale ex-
pulsion of monks and nuns.
The action of the Cortes was fol.

woke the Kellogg pact, and that If
either China or. Japan continued re-
calcitrant, diplomatic relations with
the offending nation might be severed.
The league council resumed its
hearings of the controversy, and DIR.
Alfred SEE, Chinese representative,
and Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Japanese
delegate, spoke at length. The former
demanded Immediate action by the
league, declaring that a miscarriage
of justice would jeopardize the faith
of the world in Geneva and doom to
failure the international disarmament
conference next February. YoshiZawa
countered by explaining and defend
ing Japan's actions in Manchuria and
reiterated the, intention of his gov
eminent, to permit no outside inter-
vention in the dispute. He said the
matter could be settled only by direct
negotiations between Japan and
China. Doctor SEE replied: "China will
never agree to such course so long
as Japanese troops invade her soil
and until Japan makes just repara-
lions for the loss of Chinese lives and
property"
While the debate was in progress
Doctor SEE received word that jap
anese army planes had just bombed
two more towns far west of Mukden.
This action, like the bombing of Chin
chow, was later defended by Tokyo
with the assertion that Chinese had
fired at the planes, which were scout
ing.
~ Notwithstanding the strenuous OBJ
jections of Japan, the council voted 10
to l, to invite the United States to
participate in the discussion of meas
ures to end the hostilities in Man
churia. This invitation Secretary
Stimson had already said would be
accepted, and Consul Prentiss B. Gill

country though without vote. Japan,

After that, life would be the perfect
dream of romance that it can manage
to be for two people who are in love.
Then along would come an evening
something like this:

those messy domestic wives whose in
terests don't reach out beyond their
new electric refrigerators. I am in a

"Of course, am not fit to pay your

Mercina. We both know that the idi-
otto fact is that you love me. That's
got to be enough to cover the multi
tude of my shortcomings"
"Let me 60, Frank"
"Why, of course, If you feel that
way. Mercina, / will Let you 60 If 1t

And then the next day the usual
overtures Of telephones and tears from
Mercina, and forgiveness and tender
ness from Frank.
But slowly, surely, there was wear
ing against the nerves of the two of
them, the strain Of the situation.

tits no use. Frank, let's try it apart
for month";"
Strangely, on one Of these outbursts,
they both decided quite seriously, to
experiment on this last. There were
tears, grim determination, experiment
tai fervor.
Promise me, Frank, II decide I
can live apart from you permanently,
after the month, you will under
stand"
II will, Mercina, If it kills me-"
"And the same applies to you,
Frank. If you find that life can go on
without me, by the end of the month,
you are to be frank and will under
stand. Don't let me hear from you
for the thirty days, and at the end Of
that time I will call you up"
Curiously, and because of the
strain of the months that had gone
before. this pact was kept between
them, and the experimental days be-
came the experimental weeks, and the
experimental weeks heightened into
the month.
1t was six days before the termina-
ton of the month that restless, har-
rowed, love-sick young man, yearning
for word from Mercina, met up
through a mutual friend, with young
woman from Mobile, Ala, named Lib
by Iced. She was an agile, red-haired
girl, fresh from the laurels Of consid-
cradle local dramatic triumph in Ala

he was asking her to go down to the
city hall and marry him, and she was
replying by throwing her arms around
his neck and kissing him soundly and
roundly, against the lips.
"You are sure you aren't making a
mistake, sweetheart" he asked her.
"You have so much to lose-your ca
reer-your future"
"Ah guess ah am maxim mistake

The council, as conceived by Won
Hindenburg, will be composed of rep

framework of the nation under its
control.
Herr Bruening had already trieC to
bring Adolf Hitler to a realization Of
his duty to Germany, calling him into
conference and laying before him the
desperate situation. The chancellor
then went before the reichstag and,
! boldly defying his political adversar-
(. les, presented his program of Geo.
Monies, sacrifices and discipline. Its
outstanding points were: Continuation
Of the Cancellation policy of Strese-
mann; adoption of plan for the re-
demption Of the nations short term in
debtedness; the maintenance of wage
agreements between capital and labor,
with adjustment to suit existing price
levels; the maintenance of the gold
standard, and the formation of steps
to open the markets of the world to
German goods.
DRESIDENT HOOVER and his ad-
visers were studying various
plans for the relief of the railroads,
but nothing was decided on, and If
the interstate commerce commission
grants the increase in freight rates

helping the railways are likely to be
taken before congress meets.

BY F. Ii. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, March 26.-Despite q
total of nearly 100000, 600 in new
bonds brought out today, outstanding
issues were strong everywhere except
in the Foreign Department. Invest
ment men incline to the view now
that, while there has been no great
price improvement in bonds, their gen.
eral flrmnesS in the face of the heavy
offerings of the past four weeks can be
construed as definitely bullish.
Today's offerings included South
ern Pacific issue Of AIS priced to yield
about 4.67 per cent, and Public Serv-
ice Electric g. Gas Co. 4 per cent issue
priced to yield 4.33 per cent. Both were
well received and commanded small
premiums in the unofficial market
Outstanding obligations of these COM
panies were not affected by the new
bonds, which was another point in the
markets favor.
Prime issues generally were I'M
changed to fractionally better, with
emphasis laid on such bonds as Ameri-
Atchison General As. Brooklyn Man
haitian Transit IS. Chesapeake Ccrpor-
alton IS, Great Northern Is. National
Dairy 514s, New Haven AIS, North
American Co. SIS, Pennsylvania 4As
Philadelphia Co. SIS, South Railway As
Standard Oil Of New Jersey IS, Utah
Power & Light SIS, and youngstown
Sheet & Tube IS.
Another, significant phase of bond
trading today was the active interest
shown in junior bonds such as Con-
solidation Coal Of Maryland SIS. which
above IL, were Is points over their low
of last week. This reflected improve
ment in the coal trade and a report
that June ! interest on the bonds would
be, paid. Pathe Is, were again strong
and 80 points above their 1881 low.
Smaller advances were noted in Phil
lips Petroleum SIS, Richfleld Oil IS,
Shell Union OIL IS, Missouri-Paciflc As
and SIS, International Telephone SIS, In
ternational match IS, Goodyear IS, Erie
IS and American g. Foreign Power IS.
Anglo Chilean Nitrate rs were weak,
rejecting along with Lautaro Nitrate
IS and Chilean government bonds, the
conflicting reports concerning the new
Cosach Nitrate merger.
The weakest issues in the foreign
group were the Australians. Premier
Lang of New South Wales was reported
to be arranging to pay $625, 900 interest
due In New York April /, but Prime
Minister Scullin of Australia announced
that Lang did not intend to meet any
of the interest due simultaneously in
London. This caused drops of / to 3
points in Australian 41as and SIS, New
South Wales SIS, Queenland IS and Is
and Sydney 515s. Germans were also
weak, chiefly on renewed weakness in
the reichsmark. Young Plan 5lRs
were of fractionally and German
municipals also were heavy. South
Americans had q dull tone, especially
Brazilians.
