TOKYO. Nov. ,. (AP)-Japan Csc war office issused a communi- Gu" announcing that positive measures" had been decided upon to cope with the threatening posi- lion now facing the Japanese oc- equation troops at Nonni River bridge in Manchura. fifteen of whom were killed and many wound ed in battle with Chinese fore es
 The statement said that rein torcements were being sent to the scene of the battle Tokyo news papers announced that mixed brig ands and four thousand troops were being sent from Japan to oc- rapied areas t0 replace the tired soldiers who have been holding those positions.
 The recent fighting seemingly has precluded all hope that China and Japan might patch up their troubles by November 18th, the date set by the League in or before tor the withdrawal of Japanese soldiers from occupied areas.

CST OPPORTUNITY
 TO MAKE MILLIONS

There have been ! number of as = counts of the sale of the Mother L,de copper mine at Ksnmecoott, frurl which he Cuggesh inns have takea li!- l.onl ofter buiidii:g a railroad costing $20,000,000 to bring the ore So .i.swater at Cordcva.
 One of the unpublished stories 's si.at of an offer made to M. D. Ick;s of Let h:kan to sell the mine for $100 by Chief Nickoli in the year 118s8.
 MT. Iclis, who has mining interests in and around Ketchikan and near Hyder, was with party of -23 men who went to Valdez that year, think ing that would prove the shortest iand route to reach the Klondike gold delds.
 They freighted in their supplies during the winter over the Valdez glacier, as Thompson Pass was nat used until later, and got as far as the Nebesna river before the spring breakup caught them. 1t was not until the following winter that they went to Dawson.
 During the trip they met Chief Nickoli. He described the mountain of copper no wknown as the Kenne- colt mine and offered his Indians title to the place for S100 with which to buy white mans food"
 The same year Colonel Willard and George Hazelet and other oldtimers were busy making trails and pros pecting ard it was little later that the diggings on S.ate creek were dis covered.
 Speaking of the hardships of those cary days and the unknown dangers ahead, MT. Ickis said one could hard ly realize the great changes which have taken place since then.

DOESN5T LIKE ME COMMITTEE

Under the heading "Hands ;Oy Massachusetts" the Boston Trans cript says:
 ,"We think we voice the sentiments of nearly all of the people of Massa- cchusetts when we say that we want none of Senator Yves senatorial in- cestigating committee. What we do gant, for time at least, is the right Q conduct our own business in the
 way that it pleases us to conduct it anl without interference from self ,constitutel censors in the United States senate or elsewhere. This state :1as elected Marcus A. Coolidge as it's orator. It expects MT. Coolidge to ae it's senator just as it would have
 sxpected Mir. Butler to be it's senator
 che result on November had been otherwise. It objects to dictation fro moutside sources and it is not in the least interested in the activities ,of any body which, for political or other reasons, is determined that only men acceptable to it shall sit in the seats of the upper house of Congress.
 By the constitution, the senate is given the right to be the judge of the qualifications of its members. That right it should possess in order to protect itself in cases of vile derelic- ;tions of duty. But it is stretching the ,right far beyond the breaking point tto give the Nye committee, or any other committee, the privilege of say ing to a state that it's citi ems are mot competent to make their own choice. When a citizen of Massachusetts votes for certain candidate for the United States sen- ate, he intends that his vote shall be counted. He is tired of the prospect that it can be nullified to suit the whlms of any outsider or outsiders who are straining every point to keep

SPOKANE MAN CHANGES
 HIS PROHIBITION VIEWS

SPOKANE.-"I went into office ten years ago as a rabid dry. I'm coming out genuine and campaigning wet"
 Bill Harker speaking For ten.years until this month he was head of Spo- kane county's dry squad-and Spo- kane is a dry county, relatively speaking.
 Harker arrested more than 4,OOO prohibition lawbreakers during his term. A political overturn last Mo- vember lost him his ojb.
 Of course," the ax-dry chief said, :" can't clap hands very gleeful.y over losing a good job, but I know that never again will 1 enforce the prohi- bition law.
 For ten years," Harker continued, I've been fretting and stewing at the hardest and most futile and most absurd job in the world, that of try ing to keep people from drinking al- cohoI.
 But l couldn't stop them, and nei- ther can anyone else. Whats more, I've been treated to distressing spectacle of seeing children in my town, barely in their teens, guzzling gin and whiskey, a thing that was never heard of a dozen years ago when saloons were running full blast.
 Because they are told not to, peo- pie are drinking today that never thought of it before prohibition. Sa- looms were undoubtedly a nuisance, and l shouldn't care to see them come back, but at their worst they affected only adults.
 To-day large part of the boot -eggers' trade is with minor boys and girls. Prohibition has not dried up liquor-it has simply diverted the corner saloon, where children never saw it, to the homes where the youngsters watch it made and drink it as we'll"
 Harker does not favor complete re- peal of the eighteenth amendment, nor does he wish to see merely light wines and beer admitted back to grace. He desires simply and genu- inely to see all forms of liquor brought back and sold under strict government control.
 No, sir" Mir. Harker loncluded, T was for prohibition, but I'm not any more. T., seen how the law works and that's been enough to make me preach modification for the rest of my days.
 And it would be a sobering and an enlightening experience for any radical prohibitionist, if he were given tn opportunity, just for little while, of working on a prohibition enforcement squad"

Spacious Justification.

Ring Lardner was talking about a show girl who had married an aged millionaire.
 Some of her friends" he said, criticised her for this marriage. They thought it was too mercenary. Grabbed age and youth, you know. But the girl always had some spe- cious kind of justification ready.
 "To one of her critics, for instance, her answer was:
 Say, now, look here. If somebody offered you a check for a million dol lars, would you bother to examine the date?'"
 Judge (after charging jury)-Is there any question that anyone would ike to ask before considering the evidence?
 Juror-A couple of us would like to know if the defendant boiled the malt one or two hours, and how does he keep the yeast out?
