ASSERT
JAPANESE JINCOES
INVENTED FABLE
Say Story Of Possible Soviet
Action Intended to Cover
Big Land Grab

Moscow, Nov. 4.-(R-The news
paper Izvestia charged "Wednesday
that japanese militarists invented
the fable" Of possible Soviet inter-
ference in Manchuria in order to
cover plans for an extension of their
own occupation northward "at least
until November 16" when the League
of Nations council meets again.
The militarists hoped, the newspa-
per said, TO weaken the resistance Of
other imperialistic powers by the
prospect of conflict with the Soviet
union, a conflict much desired In i'm
perialistic circles in Europe"
Declaring Japan's first explanation
was that her occupation In Manchu-
ria was made necessary by the threat
Of danger from Chang Such Liang's
soldiers who became bandits" lives
tia said:
"Such an argument proved quite
insufficient, even In the eyes of the
League OF Nations. and q new one
was needed.
1.-THE fable was then invented Of q
Red danger in Manchuria through the
interference Of Soviet Russia, on the
side Of China, in the conflict with ia
pan and the provocative story of as
sistance rendered by the Soviets to
the troops of the Chinese General
Nah was manufactured.
witnesses were modified who
saw with their own eyes how Soviet
military instructors, transports ano
arms were moved to the aid Of Gen.
eral Nah.
1T is impossible that the japanese
government could have believed these
rumors because 1t has at its disposa
organizations which could have
proved their stupidity.
"Mr. Britten, q member OF tht
American congress, showed phenom'
email inpudence by declaring: Rus.
sia is mobilizing vast military force:
while the world Is sitting on vol.
cano.'
1.-THE position is quite clear. Instead
Of quitting Manchuria, the Japanese
military clique is preparing an exten'
sion OF the occupation toward thu
north.
LET the western incendiaries con.
tinue their work. They will learn II
time that he who sows the wind vii
reap the whirlwind. :.

HARRISONVnLE. Mo, March 49,
In letter to q sister in Tennessee,
Martha Kennedy, 52-year-old farm
woman, said today she did not poison
the 2l-month-old baby Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elmer York, farm tenants.
The letter was written by Mrs. Roy
w. Mosby, wife of the Cas- County
sheriff, in whose custody the unlettered
woman is held on a charge of murder
pending further investigation of her
confession to poisoning the baby and
other phases of the case.
Addressed to Mrs. Ella Altman at
Hillsboro, the letter said the confession
was forced by her brother, Alex Ken
nedy, released by county officials after
his sister signed the document. Miss
Kennedy urged the Tennessee relative
to flnd another brother, George Ken
nedy, have him obtain all the money
he could and come to Harrisonville to
aid her in fight for freedom.
County officials today awaited q re-
port on an analysis Of can of baking
powder. The can, officials say, was
found in Alex Kennedy's possession In
the kitchen of the York home after the
baby had died. William Anderson,
prosecutor, took the can of powder to
Kansas City for chemical test for
poison.
The Yorks were tenants of the Ken
nedys. In her confession the woman
said she poisonsed the milk furnished
to the Yorks so their babies would not
drink so much. One child drank only
a little Of the milk and recovered.

Many thousands of worshipers and

pass ways, Norman in architectural
motif, but entirely original in design
and conception. With the chapels be-
meath the sanctuary crossing the south

interesting and comprehensive cathedral
crypt developments In the world.
Because of the solid masonry con-
struction, daily building progress on the
cathedral is not especially evident, but
the annual visitor notes many advances.

Dog Veteran Hates Guns
MANY TIMES UNDER FIRE IN WORLD WAR.

To the Editor Of The Star:
THIS is a bit of the history OF
one Of the very last survivors OF
the dogs who were at the front
Il from nearly the commencement
to the finish of the great war,
a dog that was on four fronts, Belgian,
English, French and American, from his
birth to the armistice, and at all times
under gun fire.
The mother of this interesting little
dog. a wire-haired terrier was picked
up by Maj. Melvin Hall, D. S. O., among
the ruins of DickybuSh, a few miles
out of Ypres. just after the first battle
of Ypres. She was an attractive little
animal, though half starved and in poor
shape, so Mai. Hall took her to his bill
let in Poperinghe, a few miles on the
other side of Ypres. Here she gave
birth to fine litter of pups, but shortly
after disaster occurred.
Mai. Hall was then serving with the
British Intelligence Service in the sal
lent, with headquarters in Poperinghe.
One evening during an attack upon
the town from the air a bomb pene-
trated the house and entering his Of
flee, exploded there, wrecking the
whole house, and killing or wounding
several of the staff. At that moment
Mai Hall was talking with his orderly
and the mother dog was resting at his
feet; both soldier and dog were killed
and badly mutilated. Maj. Hall. how
ever, was not injured, and says that all
he remembers about the occurrence was
seeing in the air about him several lit
tie dogs, which had been sleeping In
a basket in the far corner of the room.
One of these was Dickybush. The rest
of the little family was killed or disap-
peared.
From that time Dickybush was his
owners constant companion on both
the Belgian and British fronts, until
America joined the war, when Maj.
Hall was transferred to the United
States Army, taking the little dog with
him to Chaumont, then the American

headquarters Later they went to-
getl1er through the battle of Chateau
Thierry, then for some time In the Yer
dun sector and afterward through the
campaign Of the Argonne, terminating
with the arnlistice at Sedan.
Dickybush may fairly be said to have
had wider experience of war than
most of his race and breed. The pic
ture, taken years after the war, shows
tranquil Dickybush still full of fun
and as playful as a kitten, but the
peaceful Mediterranean shores have
taught him to be a pacifist and he OBJ
iects strongly to the sound Of guns and
cannon.
