In Tender Mood.
(New York World Telegraph


 The Government can be tender with those who love it when it wants to be- This thought is sug- gested by the story of William G. Lang, who, being something of an inventor well as a postal clerk invented a device which has saved the United States Government $3574288 year for eleven years-a total of $393 I'll 68.
 Yesterday it became the sad duty of the great American Government at Washington to let the axe fall in spot where MT. Lang worked, and MT. Lang at ST. is now a member of the great American army of the workless.
 But the Government which has profited so much from his talents did not let him go without re- ward. It gave him letter, tenderly, lovingly grate- fully phrased, follows
 This is to certify that during the period
 of MT Lang's employment in this depart
 ment his record of punctuality and attend
 highly satisfactory.
 That tribute will be something fine for MT. Lang to show to his grandsons, who may take tip from lit and get nice political berth if they ever elect to follow him into their country's service
 What tragedy it is that a Government which bestow such bounty on party vote-getters lacks the humane fexibility to give this old man at least the opportunity to go on unselfshly serving it during his few years remaining on earthl

He looked back at his window
 A man stood there, framed in the splintered sash, crouching, face distorted into mask of frenzy, his automatic foreshortened into an ugly round hole as it pointed straight at EmOry's head. The flyer braced himself for the impatch of the bullet. His own gun was swing ing upward with the speed of light, but he know that he was too late He could see the forefinger tighten on the trigger. Then, suddenly, the man pitched over on top of him. Emory squirmed from under. glancing wonderingly at the crip- pie. Ashwood winked at him.

For an instanG he thought it was falling, that it would crash headlong into the lit tie clump of palms which shelter ed the nearest enemy machine gun. But, just as the propeller seemed about to cut a sWath through the leaves, the nose lifted i and the plane zoomed clear up and up until, whirling around on one wing tip, it dropped again to the attack.

 He glanced again at Ashwood. The cripple grinned, pointed at his automatic, then to a scatter ing of empty shells and held up three fingers. Three shots left. Emory had lost count of his own. He only remembered that he had used most of the last clip. Sud- denly his ears became attuned to a new note in the battle. He had been hearing it for some time, but iS' had not penetrated into his consciousness. That throbbing, vii brant beat-an airplane engine Of .course-he listened again, the monoplane. No mistaking that un- even, pulsing drone.
 "Whoopee!" he shouted above the din of fight. The planes coming! Jerry and Steve!"

China Brushes Aside Peace
0vertureS, Names Chang

BY HERBERT r. EKINS
United Press stan Correspondent

SHANGHAI, March 8.-Wearied
armies battled along a wide front in
the Yangtze valley today as China
brushed aside worldwide peace
overtures and recalled from exile
her greatest military leader, Cen
eral Chang Kai-Shek, to direct the
defense against invading Japanese.
Chinese government lea der S,
meeting Japanese charges that de-
Tending armies were responsible for
the renewed hostilities, fatty an
nounced refusal to attend the long
awaited peace conference unless
Japanese troops are withdrawn.
At the same time, the central
executive committee meeting at the
temporary capital of Loyang an
nounced General Chang had been
appointed chairman of the military
council, post tantamount to COM
mander of the nations armies.
Chinese Issue Statement
The Sino-Japanese clash in the
YangtEe valley, which sprang up
shortly after commanders on both
sides had announced cessation CT
hostilities, apparently encouraged
the government to a new assertion
Of national entity.
Chang Tso-Ping, former minister
to Toxic and now chairman of the
foreign affairs committee at Lo-
yang, issued the statement that
Chinese will remain away from the
round-table conference until Japan

basic principle that China will not
yield to coercion, nor will it suffer
humiliation and the loss of sover-
eign rights Chang said.

derburgh County Bar Association,
Monday night, that plea for court
reforms would be included in mis-
platform. The address entitled.
Abraham Lincoln, Lawyer" was the
high spot of the program.
Were Lincoln alive today he
would stand for those reforms in
court procedure that would make
for a just and speedy administra-
ton of the criminal laws" Ogden
said. He would stand for enforce
ment of law and proper reverence
for the law.
"One of the first evils he would
weed out would be the prevalent and
ever-increasing crime of perjury or
false-Swearing on the witness stand.
He despised perjurer and even
abandoned cases when he found out
his client or his principal witness
was a perjurer.
Nothing would give greater as
Sistance in the curbing of organized
crime today than the melting of pun
iShment to the perjurer."

ACT TO REACH
AGREEMENT ON
PRICE OF MILK
Distributors May Submit
Problem to Nationally
Known Arbitrator.

indianapolis milk distributors to-
Gay were considering proposal for
submitting price differences between
themselves and milk producers to a
nationally known arbitrator, as a
step to prevent milk war here.
The suggestion was made by Carl
/. Hedges Of the Central Indiana
Dairymen's Association at a confer
ence with distributors in the farm
bureau Offices Monday.
Hedges demanded that the price
Of milk to the consumer be reduced,
If the price paid the farmer for his
milk Is reduced further, it was re-
ported following the closed meeting.
Hint at Price War
Hint that Il distributors buying
from unorganized producers refuse
to accept the plan of employing an
arbitrator to determine a fair
Wholesale and retail price for milk,
that members Of the milk pool
would enter into price-cutting war
10 meet cuts made by certain groups
here, was voiced by Hedges.
Decision on the proposition is
scheduled to be reached at another
meeting, set for March Is.
For several months effort after
effort has been made to work out a
plan Of cooperation between pro-
ducers and distributors of this ter
rltory, wherein a reasonable and
lair price could be paid to produc-
ers IN this territory for producing
market milk for the city of Indian
apolis," Hedges said.
Not for a GOuge'
This has not been done with a.
view of gouging the people on the
cost of their product, but only with
view of obtaining a fair and
equitable price of 10 cents per
quart retail and 8 cents wholesale.
On this basis, indianapolis dis
tributerS can afford to pay pro-
ducers 1917 cents a pound butterfat
for all milk used in city distribu-
ton. (Forty cents now is being
paid, it is reported.)
THE distributors who purchase
milk through this organization have
been willing at all times to main
tain this kind of a price, if per-
mitted to Go so by competitors. But
constantly, competitors have been
reducing the wholesale price to
grocers, below the 8-cent level per
quart, until they have been faced
with loss of their business, or forced
to meet a lower price"
