Judicial Ear Injured to
bEas Lies on Witness Stand

Perjury, writes a columnist In the
Manchester (Eng.) Guardian, is a very
terrible thing, but perjury Is not, rs
may have appeared from recent com
ment, more in evidence now than in
the past It is good many years
since Commissioner Kerr made his dry
comment while presiding in the city
Of London court: David said In his
haste all men were liars; II he were
sitting in this court he would have
said the same thing at his leisure"
To the past also belongs the even
drler remark of Mr.. Justice Byles:
"A mans word in the city Of London
is as good as his bOnd-but you can't
stamp It," And quite midVictorian
was the reply of Justice Aluulc to
man who detained, my lord. you
may believe me or not, but ! have
stated not a word that is false, for I
have been welded to truth from my
infancy"
"Yes, sir" growled Maule, "but the
question Is how long have you been
a widower?"

Concerning Loneliness

A botanst is not lonely when he
is soul.alone on the flank OF noun
tain. bending over the alpine flowers
and shrubs OF the snow-line, for all
that there is no place above water
that Is loneller than mountain. He
has for his companions the floral
growths that interest him; he has the
mountain, and the suhlimity Of it
but most Of all he has himself.
An angler is not lonely when he Is
far from other men, in n canyon
threaded by wild stream, though he
may have fancled himself TO be ever
so lonely when he was one Of many
thousands In a city. He has the can
yon, the stream. and his employment
but most Of all he has hlmself--Port-

JAPANESE ARMY SWEEPING TOWARD
 CHIN CHOW REGION
JAPAN CONCENTRATING TROOPS AT YINGKOW ON THE
 YELLOW SEA

MUKDEN, Dec. 29. (P) T Having swept aside all pretense, Japan's armies actively directed their drive against Chin Chow, the last strong hold of the Chinese in Manchuria.
 Under guise Of taking action against "brigands" allegedly threat ening Japan's hold on the South Manchurian Railway, Japanese, numbering at least 10000 men, were actively pursuing Chinese with the aim of driving them beyond the Great Wall.
 China's bandit army" varlously estimated at from 3O,O00 to 5O,000 men, is said have engaged strong force of Japanese and were report ed putting up a staunch defense.
 Telephone dispatches from Ying- Row, at the head of the Yellow Sea, say Japan is concentrating large number of soldiers there. Three battalions of infantry and one ar tillery battalion are already on the ground and further endorsements are expected from Southern Man. churia.
 The regular Chinese troops, num- bering about 4,0O0 men, are said to be entrenched within few miles of Yingkow.

MAJOR BATTLE |S
 EXPECTED FOUGHT
 IN CHIN CHOW AREA
DEPARTMENT OF STATE AWAITS FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
 OF WAR SCENE

MUKDEN, Dec. 29. (P)-No major development was reported from the Manchurian theatre of war but battle of major proportions is en- inent, however, for according to word reaching the Japanese head. quarters, the Chinese high com mand has assembled 35O0O0 reg ulars and 30,000 so-called bandits" at Chin Chow Further word says that the Chinese forces are ready to wage a determined fight for their last stronghold in Manchuria.
 The Japanese, acting upon orders issued by General Honjo at Muk- den, employed every branch of service they could as they drove across the snow cappeG. fields of Manchuria in temperatures which ranged down to 20 des rees below zero.
 There was occasional firing and skirmishes of minor importance but these engagements did not serve to halt the steady advance of the Jap- anese. Cavalry and artillery are accompanying the army of Japan and airplanes for scouting and bombing give itSr commanders ev- cry advantage over the Chinese forces. The Japanese army is es4- timated to be 5o,O00 men which is by far the largest force ever brought to bear in Manchurian fighting by the Tokyo government.
 Meanwhile, the home government issued a statement insisting that it has no idea of taking permanent control in Manchuria.
 At Washington, D. C., the State Department awaited further de- velopments in the Japanese drive on Chin Chow before making new diplomatic representations.

 SERVED IN RUSSIA
BLACKSTONE IS LOOKING FOR LOCATION TO ESTABLISH
 CHICKEN RANCH

All one needs to convince them that communism is the last thing desired in civilized countries is to spend year or more in Russia as I did while engaged in installing canning machinery" said c. L. Blackstone of Oakland, Calif., who is a guest at the Overland Hotel.
 MT. Blackstone is on a tour of in spection of the railroad zone with a view to establishing himself in an extensive chicken ranch.
 MT. Blackstone is also of the opinion that fully 60 per cent of the Russian army is not complete ly sold on the communistic idea, and would not be surprised if at any day to see a counter revolution develop with the Trotzky adher- ents opposed to the Stalin regime.
 T talked to many of those in a position to know" said MT. Black stone, "and observed many radical changes from the full communistic program indicating that the people, especially those with average or high intelligence, were fed up with the present system.
 Like Group of Children
 AS an illustration of how child ish things are performed, they turn out mechanical engineers with six months study, while it requires at least six years for a man to become a nachinist in the United States. This means that there are dozens of alleged machinists working on one simple problem, such as in- stalling canning plant. It was my duty to install such a plant for canning corn. They had sort of superintendent or chief engineer. With stuff piled up everywhere and no progress being made, I suggest ed to him that he should do a cer- tain thing to get started.

WAR MENACE OR DEPRESSION FAILS TO HALT PROGRAM
 OF INDUSTRIALISM

MOSCOW, Dec. 28. (P)-Notwith- standing the war menace on it's ASiatic frontier, and the world de- pression, Soviet Russia is prepared to enter the new year confident that it's five-year plan will be full filled in four years and bent on de- voting more attention to the ma terial welfare of it's people if left to it's own devices.
 Uneasy because of what it be- lieves are efforts of other powers to provoke 1t to war in Manchuria, the worlds only Eocialistic State vigorously proclainls its policy Of peace and non-intervention, while 1t continues with slightly reduced tempa its program of industrialiZa- tion, agricultural development, etc.
 The fourth and final year some time ago was set aside for relaxing somewhat the strain induced by the feveriSh efforts to achieve the plan induced perhaps both by a desire to reward the workers and by the general economic crisis abroad. The decision was made to concentrate more on improved living standards to compensate for the great sacri- fees endured by the population over the first three years, at the same time, not neglecting the heavy key industries which are relied upon to make the vast Soviet Union self supporting in the shortest time pos sibie.
