LAKE WINE MEN
 HOLD MILLION
 BOTTLES READY
Famous Ohio Grape Dis- trict Hopeful of MOdi-
 ficatiOn

sandusky, os-UP1-A million bottles of champaHne are being kept ''alive" here in the hope that prohibition will be repealed. They are staked = quarts and piflts In their burlap and straw Icoverings--in cool recesses of the cellars at the M. Homnei Wine company.
 William HommeI. son of M. IHommei, who founded the winery. said that the wine interests had | high hopes for change in the liquor law.
 In the meantime, every. bottle of champagne has to be turned over at regular intervals to keep the liquor from dying" This Is true not only in the Homnnei cellars. but in each of the other cellars in the Sandusky district where other millions of bottles of expensive H. quors are stored.
 '.lsacked'' Kegs
 Likewise, the wine in casks, bar- rels and kegs and other containers has to be tracked" or attended fre- quently to keep 1t from turning into vinegar.
 Tn its present state, the liquor is worthless to anyone unfamiliar with wine making.
 Until the wine is clarified, charged and made palatable other wise--the way the professional wincmaker knows how to make 1t palatable-it has a nasty taste.
 International Reputation
 Tn the old days, HommePs wine cellar had an international reputa- ton. All their brands had taken prizes in expositions at Paris and in this country.
 Among other well-known wine establishments here was the winery operated by state conservation commissioner William H. Reinhart.
 Reinhart's wine was widely rec- ogized as one of the most desir- able lon the market. The cellar still Is well stocked.
 Among the Lake Erie Islands and on the mainland to the east and west of here, there are scores of wineries. A great deal of the stock on hand when prohibition was enacted is in storage. At that time, the government made an in- ventory and frequently a prohlbi- tion agent visits Sandusky to check over the stocks and see if they still are intact.

C0MMUNISTS SEEK TICKET ON MACHINES
US. AIR LINES
 LEAD WORLD IN
 RECORD FOR 1881
British Report Shows Greater American Air Activity

London, (UP)-United States commercial airplane in 1881 cov- cred more miles and carried more passengers than the machines of all European countries including Great Britain and her overseas do- minions.
 The tremendous superiority of the United States in the matter of mileage flown, passengers carried and mails transported is clearly illustrated in the British Air Minis try's report.
 Commercial planes of the United States, Australia. Canada, South Africa, India and eleven European countries covered Ill., 242,895 miles. This figure includes the mileage flown by the French owned services in South America.
 United States Share
 The United States share of this mileage was 47,385.9s7 while Germany was next on the list with a total of 6,387,495, with France third. covering 5,759,018 miles. Britain's mileage, includ- ing her services to the dominions, but not including services in the dominions, was 1,354,000.
 The number of passengers car- 'ried on the United States net works was 522,345 compared with 98,467 by Germany, 32,7O0 by France and 23,480 by Britain. AL though Italy's flying mileage was less than half that of France the number of passengers was 33,650.
 The United States also takes first place in the weight of mails transported by air, her figures for the year being 4,305.00 tons com pared with Germany's 399.50 tons. Frances 1886 tons and Britain's 120.00 tons. In this respect Can- ada was up with the leaders with 210.03 tons. Only in the trans port of freight does the United States fall below the leading Eu- ropean nations with 513.99 tons compared with Germany's 2,175.39 tons. Frances 1,508.21 tons, Ho1- lands 1,300.99 tons, Britain's 649.00 tons and Italy's 625.00 tons.
 1OO-Page Book
 The report is contained in a 100-page book and gives complete details, statistics, tables and other interesting data on civil aviation both in European countries with brief details on all others parts of the world from Chile to China and Siam.
 Reviewing sales of British air. planes during 1881 the report states that in spite of the world wide financial depression the total value of exports was $9,301,- 490, showing a substantial in- crease in exports to European

M .kUnited Press Staff Corrcspondcnt) Tokio, Aug 25--(UP)-Japan's Foreign minister, Yasuya Uchida, spoke out boldly to-day in defense of her Manchurian occupation, vir- finally defying the League of Ma Hons or any other machinery of peace" to interfere with her poli- cies, including recognition of Man. choukuO.
 z Uchida's address was co-incident with the announcement that the 1eague's special commission has @ompleted its report on the Sino- 8apanese crisis, and that the re- hort will not be favorable to Japan. He arose in the imperial diet and Hnnounced the nations intention of Recognizing what was Manchuria as a member of the Japanese soci- ety of nations.
 x Uchida's pronouncement, includ- Ing criticism of American policies outlined by Secretary of State Btimson, and conflicting with the league commisaon's findings, in- 1vitably will result in important world wide repercussions. < Stimson, asserted that Japanese
 
 of the pact of Paris aroused indig- nation in official quarters here.
 There are those who argue" 3he foreign minister said, "as Enough the action of Japan were q violation of the Kellogg -Briand sAntl-War pact. But such contention was no foundation in fact. Japan has been forced to adopt necessary 1neasures for the prevention of .wanton attacks upon the important rights and interests vital to her na- stional existence.
 < The anti-war pact does not put restraint upon exercise of right of self defense in such a case. <. And obviously the exercise of the right of self defense may ex- tend beyond the territory of the power which exercises that right. sJapan's action is essentially iden- tical with the action that other powers have taken elsewhere in ssimilar, circumstances" ' Uchida opened his address with the assertion that Japan is prepar-

 The commissions conclusions hold that Manchuria is still Chin- ese territory. This thesis was rec jected by Japanese Goreign Minis ter Yasuya Uchida when members of the commission held two brief conferences with him at Tokio.
