WILL NOT SEND TROOPS.
Toxic and Moscow Agree on Northern
Manchurian Policy.

TOXIC, October 81 [P).-Japan an
nounced today an agreement with Rus
STA which is expected to keep troops Of
both nations out of Northern Manchu-
ria where they have large economic in
terests.
There was no change, however, in
the Japanese control of South Manchu-
ria, although the Japan League Of Ma
tons Association telegraphed to all
countries having permanent member
ships on the League Council a state
ment defending the nations Mancflu-
rian policy.
Failure to protect Japanese nationals
and their properties was charged
against the Chinese rulers of Manchuria
when Japanese troops seized strategic
centers in the southern third of the
country, in September, disrupting the
Chinese administration.
Russia fears that Japan might plan
to extend this control to North Man.
churia prompted the conversations this
week in Moscow between Koki Hirota,
the Japanese Ambassador, and L. M
Karakhan, former Ambassador to
China and no wacting commissar of
foreign affairs.
The two officials, it was announced
here today, agreed that Russia would
send no troops into Manchuria TO
Railway, which Russia and China own
jointly, unless unexpected developments
occur
Japan, on the other hand, agreed not
to send troops with the repair gang dis
patched northward on the Taonan-
Anganchi Railroad, upon which three
bridges were damaged in recent civil
warfare.
Ambassador Hirota made clear that
should Russia find it necessary to send
troops into Northern Manchuria, Japan
might do likewise. Meanwhile the
northern limits of Japanese occupation
remain Taonan, Changchun and Kirin.
The League associations statement.
as prepared for transmission, outlined
the complicated circumstances leading
to the Manchurian outbreak, and de-
clared the recent resolution of the
League Council calling for withdrawal
of Japanese troops from the occupied
non-treaty areas had been based upon
insufficient knowledge of actual condi-
tons.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, October 81. -
Hundreds of State employees, the Gov
ernor and Supreme Court justices in
cluded, failed to receive their october
salaries today because Tennessee
treasury balance was at low ebb.
Controller Roy Wallace said revenue
receipts the first week or two in No
vember might be sufficient to meet the
$3.50, 900 pay roll for the last month
but he emphasized this was only a hope
and could not be regarded as a GER
tainty.
100000 Left In Fund.
He disclosed there was 100000 in
the States general fund today. Halt
of this amount was held in reserve to
pay interest on State bonds, and the
sum of $4,000 was set aside to pay
monthly pensions to Confederate vet
Grams. The controller has not de-
cided what will be done with the re-
naming $4,000 in the treasury.
Teachers in the six State normal
schools have Jared far worse than other
state employees as regards salaries.
entire semester because a State fund
usually set aside for meeting their
salaries was wholly depleted Con-
troller Wallace said there was no i'm
mediate prospect of paying them.
At present he is holding unpaid war
rants amounting to $3.000,000 for
schools and other incidentals and there
is no money with which they can be
converted into cash.
Many Schools Closed.
Failure to receive State aid, due last
July. has resulted in the closing OF
schools in several counties and other
counties are contemplating school terms
of less than the usual eight months.
Various civic organizations, including
the State Parent-Teacher Association,
have asked Gov. Henry H. Horton
to call special session OF the Legs
lature to deal with financial problems
but he has not indicated he will heed
their requests.

NAPOLEON IDEA
BUILT CANAL

NEW YORK, May 22.-Joseph
LIE Gras, in a recent number of
the Paris Temps, demonstrates
from hitherto unpublished docu-
ments how the French engineer
Count Ferdinand de LesSeps was
indebted to Napoleon and not en-
tirely to his own genius for the
plans by which he dug the Suez
Canal. Although Napoleon made
his surveys in 1893 and 1899 and
de LeSseps 40 years later, the
project, even in the first instance,
was no new thing. 1t had. in
deed, been an accomplished fact
in ancient times
RamaeSeS II was first to link
up the Mediterranean and Red
seas, but his canal fell into dis
use. Centuries lated Darius l of
Persia repaired and enlarged it
and threw it open to commerce.
Caloph Omar enlarged it still
further and it again was used un-
til the successive Arab invasions
of the eighth century A. D. blot
ted out completely.
But, declares M. LIE Gras, it was
Bonaparte, fresh from the con-
quests in the Pyrenees, wiCh am
bition centered on empire, who
first estimated its value to France
as short cut to India and BY it
viSualized what his armies might
achieve there.

The decision to place Kirk
