WOODPECKERS FINALLY MEET
 ONE SETBACK

The Wocdpeckers have finally been halted in their sensational winning streak and by dropping two out of three to the Sparrows make the race a little closer in the Elks bowling tournament.
 Hendrickson boWled high total of 589 last night and also high score of 216 bringing his tourna- ment average up to 191. This makes him strong contender for first place honors. Bavard was second with 543 and Bringdale maintained his consistently good bowling with 523.
 What happened to the BluebirdS at the hands of the Owls in the second contest is nobody's busi ness. However, the truth must be told. The Owls won three straight each game by healthy margins Pullen had high total of 5S9 and high score Of 200. Cleveland rolled 528 and it looks as though from now on "Cleve' is going to give his opponents 8 lot of trouble
 Tonight's games are. Robins vs Parrots at 7:15 o'clock and Crows vs. Woodpeckers at 9 o'clock. The Crows are itching to annex three straight from the league-leading Wcodpeckers and it should be a hard-fought battle.
 Last nights scores follow:

All through the foreign list there
were interest payments due in New

estimated at between $50, 000, 900 and
100000. Since the break in ex-

themselves without sufficient balances

In the case OF England, Canada, Italy
and the other nations that are tech

not available, SO that the necessary New

open market. This accounted for the
steep dips in Canadian, Sterling and
South American exchanges the last few
days, and naturally the release Of the
pressure allowed the market to assert
some of its natural buoyancy.

 The communication asked Rus sla to reveal the source of rumors which caused Lftvinoff to remind Japan of her pledge not to modest the Chinese Eastern. It also reif- erated Japan's statement that the Chinese Eastern will not be touched unless it is used by the Chinese for military purposes.
 Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Bjron Shidehara formally an- nounced that Japan's representa- lives at the League of Nations council sessions in Paris would not l present any new demands in con- nection with Manchuria. The Japanese treaties with China cover all of Japan's demands and the government desires only that the , treaties be enforced, he said. Official announcement of the oc- cupation of Tsitsihar by the war ministry said the Japanese troops were in control of the entire area. 100000 Men For China. Nanking, China. Nov 19-(UP) l-Pre si d mt Chiang Kai-Shek, China's foremost military strate- gist, is prepared to lend 2,0O0,OOO men against Japan, he suggested
 in speech today.
 He proclaimed the solidarity of China against Japan at A secret session of the fourth Kuomintang (nationalist) congress. He urged delegates to accept fully the rival Canton governments demands for governmental reorganization which would unify the nation and make possible united action against Ja- pan. T am determined to proceed
 northward to aid my party and
 nation," the president told party leaders.
 He emphasized that it is impera- tive to effect national unity and
 said 1t. could only be done by reaching an agreement with the Cantonese government.
 Combined action of Chiang Kali Shek and other military leaders of the north and south easily could
 result in the assembling of an army of 2,000,00O. Hitherto, the Can
 tonese, in rebellion against the na-
 tional government at Nanking,
 have kept China divided in fac
 tions. There has recently been a
 strong move to reorganize the
 Nanking government, perhaps with
 the dropping of Cniang Kai-Shek,
 and constitute a government of the
 entire nation, acceptable to both

boratfon with the league, would clarify and strengthen the posi- tion taken by the nations and en- sure a rapid and peaceful solu- ton"
 Sze emerged from his diploma tic calm to-day and addressed a letetr to the council in the strong est terms, in which he threatened to "expose" the league by quoting at a public meeting what the coun- oil members have previously said in private about the status of Manchuria.
 T will be forced" he said, .'tc put the blame publicly where it belongs, namely, on the unwilling ness of the great powers to lift . finger in defense of the covenant which we are solemnly pledged to defend"
 Sze's letetr was based on an ac- companying statement by. the Ku- omintang, or national party of the Chinese republic, regarding which Sze observed.
 Tt is impossible for any gov ernment of China to accept 8 set clement involving direct negotia- tions under pressure of military oc- cupation.''
 The Kuomintang statement. he said, is "an authoritive exposition in calm and dignified form, of the temper of the Chinese people,"
 China cannot accept the Japan csc proposals for two reasons, he continued. The first is that the fifth point raised in the Japanese five points, concerning treaties has nothing to do with security. The second Is that i've will not and cannot accept the position that we should resign the 21 de- 1nands as a condition for Japan fulfilling her treaty obligations under the covenant and the pact of Paris (Kellogg treaty..
 Sze said that if a compromise plan is put to China, he shall not only reject 1t but reveal "in public meeting what Briand and other members of the council have said on the impossibflity of -re- conciling negotiations under mili- tary pressure with the covenant and the pact of Paris, and press for public explanation of the reasons that led them to change their views"
 He concluded significantly:
 If the council declares it could do more under article Il, we will not shrink from immediately in- voking other articles of the coven- ant"

hamlets and towns. Outside the boun-
diaries of the park, but within the for
est preserve, the State owns an adj
ditional 368,OO0 acres.
Maryland's forest system is a de-
velopment of recent years. The nue.
leus about which the present forests
have been built up consisted of a gift
of 5000 acres in Garrett County, pre-
scented to the State in 1906 by John
Garrett and Robert Garrett. When
the gift was received the Forestry De-
partment was organized, with Mr..
Besley in the position he still holds.
No other land was acquired until 1912,
when the nucleus of the Patapsco for
est was obtained. The 1929 General
Assembly provided funds for the pur-
chase of about $4,000 acres of forest
land, and this years Legislature pro-
vided for continuation of the work.
Most of the land purchased will be in
Western Maryland, according to pres
ent plans.
In addition to the manner in which
the State expects to proftfrom its tim
Der holdings, Mr.. Besley believes the
timber industry within the State also
will derive benefits from the output
from State forests, as we'll as the ex-
ample set for private landowners. At
the present time about ninety per cent
of the lumber used in Maryland is i'm
ported, chiefly from the Pacific
Coast, scene of the last stand of the
country's virgin timber. Potentially
Maryland is able to produce all the
timber it needs. If, as Mr.. Besley
hopes, it eventually is actually able to
provide for it's own demands, it will
have done it's part in solving the tim
Der problem of the future.
