of Delaware provides that, 1.-THE De-
partment shall recind and cancel
the registration of any vehicle
which the Department shall de-
termine is unsafe or unfit to be op-
Grated or is not equipped as re-
quired by law. For the purpose of
this Section any vehicle which on

examined and determined fit for
operation by the Motor Vehicle
Commissioner agents acting un-
der his rules and regulations, shall
be conclusively determined to be

the Department shall not grant the
application for the re-registration
of such vehicle until it shall be ex-
amined and determined fit for op-
eration" The free inspection cam

After that date it is quite likely
that a nominal sum will be charged

FIRE THREATENS QUAIL PEN
Arrival of Firemen Saves Flock on
the Joseph Watson Farm

Last Wednesday fire threatened
a large pen of quail on the farm of
Joseph Watson, near Milford. a
former member Of the game COM
mission, but the timely arrival of
the Carlisle Fire Company saved
the pen and birds. Mrs. Watson
had ben burning some rubbish on
the farm when a piece of paper
that had been ignited was carried
by the wind into a field covered
with brush. The field being dry
quickly caught fire and the wind
carried the blaze in the direction of
the bird pen. The pen and quail
Weer owned by Herbert Buckalew,
who had rented the ground of Mr..
Watson to propagate the birds. Mr.
Watson and family attempted to
stamp out the fire but famed by
a strong wind it continually gained
on them. Turning out the quail
was considered as the fire was ap-
the large wire enclosed
pen and shelters. The fire signal
had been turned in to Milford and
the Carlisle Fire Company made
the run in a few minutes to the
Watson farm which is about four
miles distant, just in time save
the birds. With brush brooms and
other articles the firemen beat out
the flames. Had the birds been
turned out the chances are they
could never have been recovered.

Loans were made to banks in prac-
tically every other State in the

Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent
and Headline hunter" for Inter
national News Service. proved
again today that he is unsur-
passed as the newspaperman who
is always on the spot when events
of major Importance suddenly
break.
Gibbons was only few miles
from Columbus, NJ NJ, when
Pancho Villas band raided that
border town in 1916, and was
quickly on the job filing his dis
patches. Subsequently he accom-
panied General Pershing into
Mexico on the punitive expedition
in pursuit of Villa.
He was on the Liner Laconia
when that ship was torpedoed by
a German submarine off the Irish
coast, and was among the sur
vivors picked up and landed at
Queenstown.
He was at Chateau-Thierry
when the United States Marines
launched their first attack on
Belleau Wood. He encountered a
German machine gun there and
lost an eye.
Gibbons went to Manchuria for
International News Service in De
cember, and through his quickly
established contacts with the Jap
anese army was with the Nip
ponese forces when they occupied
Chinchow and advanced south

A cordially worded message,
expressing the hope that Japan
would ¬ take action inside the
International Settlement without
consulting the other powers, has
been sent to Tokyo by the Brit
iSh government.
The United States Government
was informed of the British
action, it was said, and was in
vited to take a similar step.
Italy and France have been
asked to join Great Britain and
the United States in representa-
tionS to Japan, the British foreign
office announced.
Through its diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Tokyo, the British
government also instituted an
inquiry regarding recent develop
mentS in Shanghai.
u. S. Stand Backed
The Manchester Guardian, lead
ing Liberal newspaper, stood alone
in backing the American stand IN
warning Japan regarding her &C
tivity in Shanghai.
The Government and public
opinion appeared to be in favor
of Britain'S policy of remaining
aloof, at least for the present.
Many officials were of the opin
ion that Japan's Shanghai activ'
ity was little different from that
of Great Britain in 1927.
When British troops invaded
Chinese soil at Shanghai, Sir
Austen Chamberlain, then foreign
minister, told the House Of Com
mons:
"The right of a state to pro-
tect the lives of its nationals

Invocation of Articles X and

GENEVA, Jan % 0N.SO.
The time has come for the
League of Nations to take def
mite action in the Sino-
Japanese crisis, acting Presi-
dent Paul Boncour told the
League of Nations Council
this afternoon.
Opening the councils session,
Paul.Boncour called attention to
Chinas invocation of Articles K
and XIV of the. League of Nations
covenant. The first article pledges
members of the league to preserve
the political independence Of all
members against external aggres-
sion. The other enviSages the
unusual step of calling the League
Assembly into session. Paul-Bon-
cour said:
"a member of the league has
invoked Article XIV. And when
a member does that, action Is
necessary.
Until now it was possible to
stand on the councils resOlu-
tiOns. But the events of the
last "a hours create a new situa-
ton"
DR.. w. w. Yen, Chinese dele
gate, said:
"The council must decide
upon means of enforcing its
obligations under Article x of
the covenant"
In invoking these articles in
q letter to the League Secretariat,
Yen also reserved the right to de-
mand that the council have re-
sort to other articles of the
League covenant, including Ar
ticle 16, which enviSages finan-
cial and economic boycott of any
nation taking aggressive steps.
