Asiatic deer.
The Sultan's bison hadn't
stood the long voyage as well
as the Rangoon specimen. He
was weak when we turned him
loose, walking with difficulty
and seeming stiff all over after
his long stay in the crate.
I suggested to the Sultan
that the bison be fenced off
until he got his landlegs. The
sambar deer is a formidable
animal and I knew that the
newcomer would be at a seri-
ors disadvantage if his Asiatic
associates decided to be un-
friendly.

tory tells me that your Amer

animal. Sambar deer will not
worry him."

The Sultan, who is right
than many trained biologists,
happened to be wrong in this
case. The bison was found

told in a few words what had
happened. The bison, worn out
from his long journey, was
lying down when one Of the
deer-a big stag with great
antlers-charged at him. Be
fore the sluggish bison could
get to his feet the stag'S horns
had pierced his belly.
To this day the head Of that
unfortunate American sladang,
expertly mounted, is to be
found in the Sultan's famous
trophy room.
The sudden depletion by SO

population in Asia was not
exactly helpful to my expert
ment, designed to prove that
the North American buffalo
could live and thrive in the
tropical climate Of Southern
Asia.
The fates, however, insisted
on balancing these things and
it was not long before the
bison population of Asia was
increased. 1t came about this

"Put distinguishing mark of some

L. Swain, Deputy Food and Drug

"This precaution," he continued,
twill safeguard grown-ups as we'll as
children, but it is particularly needed
when young children are around. AS
a result of their unfailing curiosity
and their willingness to try anything,
we are constantly hearing of children
who have endangered their lives by
picking up or tasting this or that
drug or medicine or household article
that looked attractive to them.
Household I've is one of the arti-
cles that has peculiar fascination
for children. 1t looks sugary and they
think it is sugar. The burns and in

serious that they are likely to end
fatally.

supplies on the pantry shelves or in

So many children, and older people,
too, have met with serious injuries,
through the accidental handling of
household supplies of this sort, that
twenty-four States-Maryland among
them-have enacted laws which re-
quire all packages or containers of
such supplies, to be clearly labeled in
large letters as POISON!
But no matter how we'll such con-
tainers are labeled, these things are
a source of very great danger unless
they are kept in a safe place and

resolution asking the powers to enforce
a boycott will be passed.
But in order to enforce that coercive
measure it is necessary to use not only
the economic and financial power of all
the nations represented at the League,
but also the navies, which will have to
see that no ships are allowed to enter
the japanese harbors.
Great Britain, on account Of her po-
sition as the leading naval power in the
world, will have to put at the dis
posal of the League part OF her navy.
For that purpose, however, the British
Parliament will have to vote the neces-
sary credits to send men of war to the
Far East. If the House of Commons
feels that the British representative at
Geneva has acted unwisely in joining
the other powers in the boycott, the
house can refuse the necessary credits,
and the entire boycott idea, as far as
Great Britain is concerned, will have
to be dropped.
All these complicated facts will be
taken into consideration at the Geneva
meeting on March 3. The discussions
promise to be long and heated. They
are going to be watched with an arlx-
ious interest by American diplomats
and by the State Department because,

FAR EAST TRUCE
HELD LIKELY HERE
Observers Believe Japan
Would Be Happy to Find
Way to End Struggle.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DR.. Hawking Yen, Chinese, charge
d'affaires in Washington, asked yester-
day about possible truce plans in the
Far East, said he believed the Chinese
intend to stand their ground at Shang-
hal indefinitely, as Japan's truce terms
are considered entirely one-sided by
China.
There is a growing opinion in Wash
ington official circles, however, that
Japan would be happy to find some
means of ending the struggle at Shang-
hal. And a truce at Shanghai before
the meeting of the Assembly of the
League of Nations at Geneva on March
3 would probably have considerable ef-
feet on the economic boycott movement.
Boycott by U. S. Doubted.
The threatened economic boycott
against Japan has become a very gen
eral subject of discussion in Washing
ton. but Americas participation in such
boycott, should the League of Ma
tions proclaim it, is regarded as doubt
full because of the bitter opposition Of
Senator Borah and other leaders Of
1t is also known in Washington that
neither Great Britain nor France will
support such a movement against Japan
unless loyalty to the League Of Nations
makes it inevitable.
The full Assembly Of the League of
Nations, with 81 members, possibly will
support very drastic action against Ja-
pan. 1t requires only a majority vote
to support such action in that body.
But the League Council has the final
decision, and as unanimous vote must
be had in the Council Assembly, action
will not necessarily be sustained. Japan
and China are members of the council,
but would be excluded from voting in
view of being parties to the contro-
verSy.
American View Supported.
There are indications that the lead
ing powers in Europe are inclining
more and more to the American posi-
ton, namely that any rights which
Japan may obtain by the invasion of
Manchuria and the fighting at Shang-
hal will not be recognized as they will
be in violation of the nine-power treaty
and the Kellogg BRAND non-aggression
pact
1t would not be surprising If the
League of Nations eventually works out
some formula whereby its members will
be enabled to take similar stand to
that of the United States.

found this out when I made tour
Of the district today, after an early
morning bomberdment by the Chinese.
One result OF the almost nightly STRAIT

develop a caution against spies in the
minds Of the Japanese, and I found
that the sentries could be convinced of
ones honorable intentions only with
great difficulty.
The aim of the Chinese guns. they
told me, was due to 'spotting" by Chi
nese agents, including foreigners, who
have made their way into the district.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


OTTAWA. Ontario, February 81
(NANA).-Five hundred soldiers OF
the skies, the cream Of the royal Ca
madam air force, have heard with eager
ears the call to adventure and are
planning to become soldiers of fortune
in the Far East.
Overlooked by the country which they
served for years, blocked in the career
for which they have studied and trained
this doughty group of sky fighters now
awaits from Chinese authorities reply
to their offer to break an aerial lance
for China against the speedy air raiders
of Japan.
According to spokesmen who have
been comforting with Tchuin Ii, Chi
neSe consul general for Canada. the
offer is likely to be accepted with grati-
tude. Brief cables from Ottawa to
Nanking have impressed the Chinese
government and military and they have
asked further details. The air men are
eagerly anticipating action at Shanghai
in four months.
A cut of $42, 100000 in the Canadian
estimates two weeks ago spelled con-
traction in every government depart
ment and chiefly in the department OF
national defense. 1t spelled unemploy-
ment for hundreds of members in the
temperament section of the r. c. A.
F. stationed at various bases through
out the dominion.
Many Are War Heroes.
Many of these threatened with the

flying personnel are wartime pilots and
the Distinguished lying Cross, the Air
Force Cross, the Distinguished Conduct
Medal and the Military Medal are
proudly worn on many breast in this
strange little coterie of fighters with
no one to fight for.
They read of the war in the East-of
