80 900 900 are Chinese.
Until recently japanese and Man
chukuo authorities have been nopcom-
INITIAL about the new states frontiers,
especially on the west. AS late as July,
when the League of Nations Commits
sion, under the Earl of Lytton, was
visiting Toxic, Lord Lytton asked
Count Yasuya Uchida, the foreign min
lister, what the frontiers of Manchukuo
were. The Japanese replied:
by Manchuria We understand the
four eastern provinces and Inner Mon
gclia. 1t is impossible at present to
give the precise frontiers"
How can you speak of recognizing
a country whose frontiers you do not
know?" Lcrd Lytton asked.
Certainly the treaty of Versailles
gave an example of the same thing with
regard to Poland" Count Uchida
countered.
Inner Mongolia, the term used by
Count Uchida, has long had an indefi-
mite connotation, the japanese having
used it to include the present Chinese
Provinces of Chahar and Suiyuan,
which the Marking government created
at the same time that Jehol was made
province, about six years ago. The
three were carved out of the northern
part of Chihh Province and Mongol
territories

Gen. Araki said definitely that the

For conquering the fear which, she
says, is the worst thing that has come

some of the old religious spirit which
said, I myself am weak, but Thou art
strong, oh, Lordl' That was the spirit
which brought people to this country,
which settled 1t, which carried men and
women through untold hardships, and
which has given us our heritage Of

Mrs. Roosevelt says she believes "in
the habits of regular church going and
regular work for the church." but that
"the fundamental, vital thing which
must be alive in each human con-

we cannot live for ourselves alone, and
that as long as we are here on this

TOXIC, November 24.-Prepared un-
der direction of the japanese general
staff, map just published definitely
delimits for the first time the bounda-
ries of that product of Japan's military
occupation of Manchuria, the state OF
Manchukuo.
When the Associated Press asked
Lieut.. Gen. Sadao Araki, minister of
war, to define the area of the new
state, the general produced copy Of
this map, saying:
This will answer your questions.
In brief, Manchukuo includes the for
mer Provinces of Fengtien, Kirin
Heilungkiang and Jehol"
In thus mentioning Jehol as part of
the new state Gen. Araki carried its
boundaries outside what the Chinese
considered Manchuria. Furthermore,
the map showed that the territory
claimed for Manchukuo had been split
into five provinces, the four named by
him and section in the northwest
called Khingan, after the mountain
range that runs through it.
This new province contains areas
formerly under the nominal jurisdic-
ton of Fengtien and HeiIungkiang
Provinces. Mongol tribes are dominant
there.

BROKERS HARR|ED
BY STOCK QUERIES
Clients as Well Qualified to
Pick Best Shares,
They Aver.
BY BERNARD s. o'HARA,

NEW YORK, November 24.-Brokers
are bit harried at times by the per-
sistent queries Of clients who want to
know when the next major rise In stocks
will occur and what groups will be the
leaders Of the movement.
Having made some pretty poor
guesses on the markets course over the
last two years, many Of the brokers
thus approached are likely to make q
humble confession that the clients are
as well qualified as they are to forecast
the markets future.
New Leaders Expected.
As for the selection Of the favored
groups in the next major rise, almost
any broker will insist that 1t is about
as hazardous business as picking the
winning horse in an overcrowded field
The stock list now embraces more than
ly or indirectly virtually every tmpor-
tant industry in the country.
There Is an undercurrent Of belief
in brokerage circles that new set OF
leaders will set the pace in the next
bull market, though no one seems to
have definite idea of what industry
or industries the securities will cover
One reason for the general unwilling
ness to indulge in expansive guessing
Is that most industries which con-
tributed the leaders in the bull markets
Of the last Is years are feeling new
competitive conditions which may stand
as a barrier against the recovery OF
their former earning power, even under
sharp uplift in business.
MAY Become Subordinate.
The 1924-29 bull market will be re-
membered for its widely diversified and
rotating leadership which gave place
of prominence to a various groups OF
issues for a greater or lesser period
From their casual observations, how
ever, brokers feel that many of the
leaders, which held the stage from 1924
to 1929, may play subordinate role
in the next period of rising prices.
This opinion is qualified to this ex-
tent: That certain companies in every
group have been favored by their ability
to make the necessary adjustments to
the changed economic conditions with
out impairment of their resources.

ABERDEEN, Wash, November "a
All hope of glory gone, Ocosta-by the
Sea, chosen by the Northern Pacific
Railway 40 years ago as its Western
terminus, has decided to disincorpo-
rate.
Taxes hastened Ocosta,s demise. The
metropolis of the Pacific Northwest
voted last week to reduce operating
costs, no matter what the sacrifice.
Only 50 went to the polls, whereas two
decades ago OcoSta boasted of popu-
lation of several thousand.
Ocosta sprang up in 1890 and 1891.
1t was located on the couth shore OF
Grays Harbor, 16 miles from Cosmo-
polls. ..f
Word came that it was to be the
terminus of the Northern Pacific. A
huge dock was built out over shallow
water. Extensive plans were made for
dredging out great harbor.
Adventures and spectators from all
over the Northwest filled the first train
into Ocosta. Property sold for huge
sums The town was elaborately plan
ned. Mills, breweries and hotels were
built. Men paid $500 for preferred
places in the lines waiting at real estate
Offices.
But the panic of 's3 changed the pic
ture. The railroad decided to go into
Aberdeen and Hoquiam. Capital with
drew and business moved to other Grays
Harbor towns.
Then fire and salt air-mostly the
briny breezes from off the Pacif1c-ate
into the fine buildings. Cows grazed on
pasturage that once represented $4,000
Industrial sites. The railroad ties rotted
and the fancy board walks caved in.
Now Ocosta is good agricultural re-
gion, but no trace of its former splendor
remains.
Citizens have been paying taxes on
city property. Now there will be no
more such taXes-nor fourth-class city
only another ghost town in the Far
