By Harding

And that is the most impres-
sive feature of these revolutions
rising of the people-not only
in Latin-America, but in Spain.
The newspapers here, and press
associations, pathetically fell
down on their report of the
great day in Madrid when the
Constituent Assembly convened
to make a new Constitution
and government.
Knowing it to be an historic
moment we turned eagerly to
the papers in expectation of
finding an interesting recital
of the occurrences. There was
nothing of the sort. Merely a
drab story of the meeting.
We have had to wait for the
personal letter of a 15-year-old
girl who stood at a window OF
the Palace Hotel facing the
plaza and the Parliament House
to get a mental picture Of the
reactions Of the crowd.
"Our room has a balcony
right over the square, where
we can see the square and
down the street to the Parlia-
ment House. Many Of the
aristocrats of Madrid had
taken rooms in the hotel fac
ing the Square, all looking
terribly ANNOYED by it all.
The hoi-pOlloi were in the
square, climbing over the roofs
and perched in the trees
Everyone in Madrid was there.
For hours before you saw the
people moving toward the
square - old men hObblng
along on crutches, big working
men in blue jeans carrying
their youngest babies and lead
ing the rest, the women with
fresh finger waves and their
best dresses and fans" .

How Did the
Mob React?
And how did this mob"
react to the occasion?
"They seemed excited, but
not in the way we would ex.
pect of q Latin people in the
midst Of a revolution. They
were quiet, orderly. They
don't seem to have any resent
ment against Alfonso. They
talk as If there had not been
a monarchy In a hundred
years. They refer to the reign
of Alfonso as the old days
AlreadJ they seem to take the
revolution more for granted
than do the French yet"

We of America who pretend
to believe in republics and the

 IN SPEED EVENT

SOU TAXATION, England, Sept. 8. (P-If British Seaplane wins the speed races to be held Tn the Solent September 12 the races may never be held again.
 The rules governing award of the trophy, the worlds premier speed prize, provide that a nation win ing three out of five successive con- tests may retain the cup perman- ently.
 So great is the cost of preparation for the race in construction of new planes, survey of the course, and the like that if Britain gains the cup permanently it may not be ot- fered again for competition.
 This years races which will be fought out by Great Britain, Italy, and France, it is estimated will cost in the neighborhood of $2,500,- 000-the trophy is worth only about $1 ,OO0.
 The tremendous cost, and the ex- treme hazard to human life are be- lieved to be the principle reasons for the decision of the United States against participation i'll the 1927 and 1929 contests as we'll as the one this year.
 This years races are expected to develop the greatest speed at which a human being has ever travelled, perhaps seven miles a minute, APO mile an hour.
 The present record established at the 1929 Schneider cup race by Fly l ing Officer H. R. D. Waghorn, is 32863 miles per hour

EASTON, Pa, Dec. 30.-A bomb
intended for shipment to New York
City, exploded in the postoffice to-
day, killing one man and injuring
several others.
The bomb was one of five pack
ages, each addressed to a prominent
Italian American in New York City,
left at the postoffice by two men
shortly before the explosion. They
were left at the parcel post window
for mailing.
Edward WerkheiSer was injured
fatally, and John House, postal
clerk, was taken to a hospital.
Both his arms had been blown off
and doctors said he had little
chance Of recovering.
At least three others were in
jured as the bomb shattered VIM
dows and partitions in the poStoffice
building.
Employees said two men withdrew
five packages from a carton and had
them stamped for parcel post to
New York. AS a clerk was handling
one, it exploded. The four other
packages contained explosives, the
postal workers said.
During the confusion the two men
who had presented the packages for
posting had disappeared.

of Mayor James j. Walker and
owner Of the II Progresso, italian
language newspaper, was one of the
intended victims.

Changes Rule at End

United Press STAFF COrrespOudent
PEIPING, China, Dec. 30-Renl-
nants of the once powerful war
machine of Marshal Chang Hseuh-
LANG retired today from Chinchow,
gateway to Manchuria, and left
Manchuria in the hands of the
Japanese.
The retreat to the Great Wall
meant the end of Changes influence
in the country he once dominated.
1t marked the achievement Of
two principal Japanese detectives
elimination of Chang's power and
retreat of the last organized Chi
nese army from Manchuria, coun-
try half again as large as Texas.
The long-expected battle between
Japanese and Chinese at Chinchow
was avoided presumably because
Chang realized the hopelessness of
facing a superior Japanese force.
Civilian Government Remains
Chang announced that he had
ordered the evacuation because he
did not desire to afford the Japa-
nese the pretext for further agrees
sion in north China"
Chang also announced that the
civilian government and the normal
garrison stationed at Chinchow
under ordinary circumstances would
remain there. The foreign observ-
erS, including diplomatic and mill
tary representatives of the United
States, Great Britain, France and
other nations also will remain.
Destination of his retreating
troops, some $4,000 men, from the
Chinchow area, was Shanghaikwan,
on the border of the Great Wall.
The retreat meant these $4,000
would be scattered throughout north
China, adding to possibility of riot
ing at Tientsin and other cities
which have suffered before from the
entry Of the hordes commanded by
Manchurian war lords.
Japanese Gain Goal
Chang's troops, who had waited
at Chinghow for weeks expecting a
Japanese attack, which they even
tually retreated to avoid, took their
new orders with the stoicism of the
paid oriental soldier.
Competent military authorities
here believed that the men would
display the same loyalty to Chang
that they showed when he was SUI
preme in Manchuria and after his
power and his personal fortune were
toppled over by the japanese.
The Japanese were determined
that the power of this young over
lord. son Of the famous Chang Tso-
Lin and one of the most pictur-
esque figures in China's ever
changing military and political re-
vue, must be broken. They finally
gained their goal.
