japanese Will Send More
Troops to General UyedQ
General Araki Says Move Will
Be to Prevent Further
Aggravation

Tokyo, Feb. 23--lP-General Sadao
Araki, minister of war, and other
high military officials decided today
it would be necessary to send REIN
forcementS to Lieutenant General
Uyeda's army at Shanghai and the
cabinet Immediately began session
to consider the question.
The decision of the military leaders
was made after receipt of dispatches
from Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura
and Mamoru Shigemitsu, Japanese
minister at Shanghai. stressing the
gravity of the situation there and
urging the sending of additional
troops.
The request reached Tokyo last
night and the war office said General
Uyeda did not join in it. but insisted
he would be able to accomplish his
mission with the present forces at his
command.
The cabinet continued in session
until p. m. and then recessed with
out having reached decision, plan
ming to take up the matter again later
in the day.
The opinion prevailed here the cab
met and Emperor Hirohito would ap-
prove the decision of the military au-
thorities
General Araki, in announcing the
decision, said he hoped the sending of
reinforcements would not be 'misun-
derstood." The purpose, he said, was
merely to complete the operations at
Shanghai as soon as possible and pre-
vent further aggravation of what he
considered a situation already grave.
Admiral Nomura emphasized the
gravity of the situation in the mes
sageS sent here last night.
The most disquieting feature Of the
situation on the battlefront at Shang-
hal appeared to be q report that di-
visions Of General Chang Kai Shek's
Marking army had joined the Canto-
nese 10th route army, which has been
Shanghais defender.
A navy office communique said
that Japanese airplanes shot down a
Chinese combat plane over Soochow
yesterday. but that Lieutenant Otani,
japanese patrol commander, was
wounded fatally in the combat.
Final returns from the general elec-
ton showed that the Seiyukai party
Of Premier Suyoshi 1nukai-"The Old
Gray Fox"-had won an overwhelm-
ing victory.

JAPAN REFUSES TO

Reply to League Of Ma

Tokyo, Feb. 23.-(P)-The japanese
governments reply to the note of the
League of Nations council of Feb. Is
was telegraphed to Geneva today to
Joseph Paul-Boncour, acting presi-
dent of the council. It declared "it
must be emphasized that the jap
anese government does not and can
not consider China Is an organized
people within the meaning of the
League Of Nations covenant"
Declaring China in the past, by
common consent, mas been treated as
an organized state, the Japanese note
said "fictions cannot last forever nor
can they be tolerated when they be-
come grave sources of practical dan
ger.
THE time has inevitably come"
the reply added, when realities.
rather than fictions, must be reck-
oned with. If Japan had no interests
there it might be possible to continue
indefinitely respecting the fiction that
the region is occupied by an organ
lied people, Japan. however, has
enormous interests there and it is i'm
possible long to treat the chaos in
China as If it were order.
THE japanese government does not
pretend it is easy to work out the i'm
plications and consequences of this
situation. It is not easy, but it is
necessary. We must face the facts,
and the fundamental fact is that
there is no unified control in China
and no authority entitled to claim en-
tire control.
In conclusion, the government repu-
dated what IS called the stigma"
which the world is attempting to at
tach to Japan of favoring or desiring

Of Fight
JAMESTOWN IS DIVIDED
Hope For Victory Lags as citi-
zens Fail to Restore In
ternaI Peace
Especial to The Tribune)

Jamestown, N. D., Feb. 23.-There
will be blood on the moon" at the
meeting of the Jamestown Chamber
of Commerce tonight If the question
Of capital removal is brought serious
ly before that organization.
One gets that impression from
talking with Jamestown business and
professional men and with plain av-
erage citizens OF this Stutsman
county city, for it is obvious that the
city IS divided against itself.
Hope for jamestown victory In
the election March is is SO slight as
to be practically existent but its
place has been taken by a feeling of
bitterness which the removal fight
has stirred up among some persons.
And bitterest of all are the leaders
of the capital removal movement. A
year ago they had the town united
behind them or practically SO. for
those opposed to the idea had little
to say. Now, however, there are two
distinct schools of thought on this
issue and the group which Is oppos-
ing removal appears to be growing.
AS might be expected, there are
good and definite reasons.
First among these is the character
Of the leadership of the movement
to wipe the slate clean and forget
the capital removal scheme. The
names of many businessmen, profess
sional men and leading bankers were
included among the famous 81 who
recently repudiated the removal cam
paign. Many of these men are widely
known throughout the state and in
Jamestown, but the names which
stood out most strongly in James,
town were those Of two preachers.
One was DR.. B. F. Kroeze, Presby-
terrain leader and president of James,
town college, the largest institution
OF private learning In North Dakota.
The other was Father Edward Ger
agility, rector of st. James Catholic
church and one of Jamestown's old
est citizens.
Built Fine College
DR.. krceze is recognized as an i'm
portant factor In building up James,
town college. He has nursed it
through a struggling infancy and
made OF 1t a going and growing in
stitution. The city has long looked
up to him as one of its leading citi-
zens and one of the states foremost
educators. His opinions long have
carried weight in Jamestown.
Father Geraghty also Is a builder.
1t was his energy and genius which
gave Jamestown q fine hospital
which built up a fine church and
parochial school. It was he who was

Other resolutions adopted by the
