Gilmartin, principal of Croft grammar school on "Vocabulary Building ana Practical English" The event was sponsored under the auspices of the Waterbury Teachers association and was open to both teachers and non-teachers of Waterbury and vl- cinity. Miss Daisy Lord. associatlon president, introduced the speaker.
 The Croft head very favoraply impressed on the minds of his ap- preciative audience that it was an asset to all to possess an enviapie vocabulary, or reserve fund or words, which the owner could call upon for correct use in an emer- gency. He also portrayed to his listeners the fact that possessing a vocabulary should not be looked upon by any one as a means or ms or her showing off.
 He continued saying that 90 per cent of the people are self-con- scious when called upon to speak before a gathering, adding that If these persons had reserve fund of fitting words to use in such an tn- stance, their self-consciousness would be eradicated.

Japan And China To Settle Dispute By
 Own Negotiations

eign office.
 The Japanese demands for direct negotiations with China, to be sub- | mitted to the French, British, and
 United States governments, are: 1. Mutual non-aggression. 2. Suppression. of anti-Japan- ese propaganda in China, particu-
 larlyy in schools.
 3. Mutual respect for territorial
 integrity. 4. That China respect treaty agreement, including the rights of
 the South Manchurian Railway
 for Elimination of ruinous railway
 competition.
 5. Protection of Japanese Ma

 asked France and Great Britain to
 send troops into Manchuria and
 has been refused, the government was informed today.
 Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Japan's representative at the League of Nations Council in Geneva, told cabinet authorities here the in- formation was given him by Aris- tide Briand of France, president of the council.
 By SAMUEL ASHIELL United Press Stan Correspondent Geneva, Oct 20- (UP) Am nouncement from Washington that Japan had withdrawn her objec- ton to an American observer at the League of Nations Council and was retiring her airplanes from Manchuria into Korea convinced league circles today that the Man churian crisis would be solved be- fore the- end of the week.
 The Japanese a -.ncement was taken as confirmation of the spirit of conciliation shown by China and Japan during the past AS hours. It had been understood throughout the negotiations here that Japan's objection to an Amer ican observer was not political, but based on possibly well founded constitutional reasons, the nasty manner in which the council fore ed through its invitation to the United States, and the fear that the league and the United States might force direct intervention in Manchuria, which Japan would never accept.
 Participation to date of Prem tiss Gilbert, American observer sitting with council. has proved J.pan's fears groundless and demonstrated that her rights to an eventful ruling on the constitu- tional question are intact.
 Importance of the withdrawal of Ja nese airplanes into Korea was increased by the Tokia an- nouncement that bombers would be replaced by observation planes. Simultaneously. Japanese commun- iques to t'e council showed q steady withdrawal of troops and the Chinese became less belliger- ent.
 The council was determined to avoid a> public session where the |appearance of applying pressure migkt react unfortunately on Oriental sensititiveness. It was decided to continue private nee gotiations and not hold a public me ting until q solution had been found acceptablN t@ ha<h -----
