STUNNING WAR

The United States, under 10
conditions, will participate in
armed conflict in Manchuria, Sen.
ator Simeon D. Tess, chairman
OF the Republican national com.
mittee, declared in an address
last night in Calvary Methodist
Church.
Senator FeSs said he believed
that this country would not par
ticipate in any economic boycott
which might be sanctioned bv
the League Of Nations in the
Manchurian situation. He de.
clared:>
"Under no conditions will we
send any soldiers on an armed
expedition to Manchuria. II
the League should invoke bow.
colt against Japan. that would
be q most serious matter for
that country. l do not believe
the United States would partici.
pate in any such boycott.
But Japan and China have
signed the Kellogg Pact for the
OutlaNry Of war. And yet both
countries are fighting. They get
around it by saying that it is
not war because war has not
been declared. This is a bit
technical. II fighting is not
war, what iS?"

Second ranking rear admiral
Of the Navy, Magruder spent two
years in washington awaiting
orders" after he had attacked the
Navy Department for failure to
"demobilize' after the war. AT
that time he was in command at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard, one
of the best assignments in the
service.
The Navy Department removed
Admiral Magruder from his post
and put him on the waiting list
until 1929, when he was assignee
to the unimportant New Orleans
base. He is a veteran OF the
Spanish and World Wars, and
the man who cut cable communi'
cation between Cuba and Spain
in 1898.
He has been shipwrecked twice,
both times in war. The first was
during the Spanish American
War, when the old Kearsage
stranded on Roncader Reef in
the Caribbean Sea. In 1918, off
the French coast, his flagship, the
Guinevere, sank in a heavy fog.

A Mental Fashion

This is my guess. What is
interesting at the moment is
the wave of sentiment against
the skyscraper itself. Some
dreadful mistakes have been
made in the past ten years.
Strange distortions, inappropri-
ate decorations, ridiculous
weathervanes, encrusted carya-
lids, dwarfed portals, bad color
and a hundred other structur-
ally false details have spoiled
many buildings. At the same
time, good ones have occurred,
strong in mass, agreeable in
line, pleasant to work in and
inspiring to see. But intellectual
fashion has changed. Tired Of
hearing the Shrill cries Of in
coming Europeans, the aesthetics
have taken to condemning the
skyline wholesale. Calling the
skyscraper names is the intel
lectual Eugene hat of the
season,
