Smith Roosevelt Rift Also
Spur to Candidacy of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Three
developments within the last twen-
ty-four hours have projected New
ton D. Baker of Ohio into a posi-
ton of Importance in the Demo-
cratic presidential race.
First, Baker, in a statement,
countered one of the chief argu-
ments raised against him, by as
serting that although he believed
in the League of Nations it should
not be a political issue in the COM
ing campaign.
He said that, if he had the pow
er, he would not favor American
entrance until a majority of the
people wished it.
Roosevelt Is Mum
Second, speculation as to a pos
Sible rift between Governor Roose-
velt of New York and former Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith increased.
with denial at Smiths office of Al
bany dispatches that Smith soon
would call on Roosevelt.
Third, Roosevelt declined to COM
ment On the league issue, saying
that was not to be construed as
"pussyfooting," but that he was too
busy with state affairs to give
thought to national matters.
If Roosevelt continues this course,
it may prevent him building up a
platform of national issues to
strengthen his presidential candi-
dacy.
Smith Strength Lacking
In event of a convention dead
lock, which opposition by Smith to
Roosevelt probably would produce,
Baker is regarded as an available
compromise.
Few Democrats believe Smith,
popular as he is among eastern par
ty voters, could command two
thirds of the convention for himself.
On the other hand, a powerful group
of eastern party leaders, privately
anti-Roosevelt, would welcome

STINSoN IN QUAN0ARY
Possibility of Navy Action
Seen If Situation
Grows Worse.
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press Stan Correspondent

GENEVA, Jan. 27.-League of
Nations circles were openly alarmed
today at the possibility of japanese
bombing or occupying Shanghai.
Such action would create the
gravest international situation since
the World war, far exceeding in
Importance the Italian occupation
OF Corfu, it was admitted.
The constitution of the league
council, meeting here, is weak in
provisions for drastic action. Only
three foreign ministers are at
Geneva, the ministers of Yugo-
Slavia, Spain and Poland. Others,
however, are in constant touch with
the far eastern situation.
While Japanese occupation of
Shanghai may constitute a VIOLA
ton of Article x of the league cove
nant, some nation must call official
ly for the councils action under
the article.
Therefore, any action that the
council could take under Article x
would be little more than what al
ready has been done in an effort to
settle the Manchurian conflict.
The league was convinced that,
IN the event of Japanese occupation,
resumption of active cooperation
by the United States can be count
cd upon.

Hope Waning for Lives of
Sailors; Spot of Oil Is
Sinister CIeW.
BY D N J. WILLIAMS
United Press staff Correspondent

PORTLAND, England, Jan. 81
The British submarine M-2, with
ffty-four men aboard, lay at the
bottom of the English channel to-
day, while a fleet of ships worked
frantically with rapidly fading hope
of %rescuing her crew alive.
The admiralty announced at Sis
that it had not given up hope
of the submarine, although the
ship had not been located by the
searching fleet.
Meanwhile, the admiralty inves-
tigated the possibility that there had
been a witness to the disaster to
the M-2-perhaps the only man
alive who can tell the dramatic
story of the submarines last and
fatal dive.
Destroyer Seeks Clew
The destroyer Sclmitar of More
was sent to Gravelines, France, to
interview Captain Howard of the
coastal ship Tynesider. Howard
was reported to have seen the M-2
suddenly dive beneath the surface,
stern first, while the TyneSider was
en- route from Portland to Grave
lines. The ~destroyer's captain was
instructed to investigate the story
and report direct to the admiralty.
A spot of oil on the surface gave
a depressing clew to the submarines
probable position and led naval Of
fcers to fear that the double hull
of the underseaS boat had broken
open. The oil was discovered in
West bay, off Portland island, by a
naval seaplane and H. M. S. Black
we'll was sent to the spot.
Many Vessels Aid
Twelve naval vessels, including
deStroyers, mine SweeperS and patrol
boats, cruised over a cycle of two
miles around a buoy marking the
supposed location of the submarine.
They swept over the sandy bed of
the channel, 102 feet deep at the
point, with nets and cables, trying
to hook the lost ship.
Among the wreckageS of the war
with which this dead mans bay
is strewn, the task of locating the
submarine. accurately was formid-
able.
Experts here feared it was inn
possible that any of the submarines
crew could be rescued alive. They
based their opinion on these deduc-
tons;
Doubt If Men Live
First, if the men were still alive
and able to reach the escape
matches, they already would have
used the Davis safety lung with
which they are equipped, and at
least one or two would have es-
capped.
Second, if they r alive and I'M
able to reach the matches, it was
feared that, because of the submar-
ines size, the rescue ships would be
unable to raise her before her max
imum supply of seventy-two hours
of air would be exhausted.
The Davis lung is an oxygen
mask, arranged to permit the user
to breathe in the water. 1t is sim
liar to the "Momsen lung" used on
American submarines.

SweetheartS, besiged the Royal
Navy submarine depot at Gosport

of their loved ones.

Only once III CIe many Weeks
that the band has been operating
has it failed to extort money from
the gamblers, business men, bank
ers, or business women and bank
ers' wives, seized at machine gun
and pistol point, the informant said.
The kidnapings have averaged al
most one a week.
Woman Was Slain
The single failure was when fear
of discovery forced the eXtortion-
lists to kill Mrs. Clyde Garrison, IN
Peoria, H., when she and her hus-
band were escaping in October, 1880.
The Woolverton abduction is de-
scribed as a typical Seven crime.
It's fnesse illustrates the degree of
perfection in the speciality of the
close-knit organization.
The United Press informant de-
scribed the methods of the Seven
gang in these words:
'They are all hardened crimi-
nails, over 35 and under 40. Each
made a name for himself in the
underworld as a bank robber or a
holdup killer.
Two years ago they talked it
over, decided they could do better
collecting ransom money than
robbing banks. They pulled a kid
mapping. Although it was crude
work, compared with what they do
now, it was successful.
Put Up Good Front
These fellows can put up a good
front. They live in the best hotels.
They dress like millionaires. They
have expensive luggage and costly
jewelry. Their system is to send
one of their number into a city and
look around for a prospect. Before
any one has time to get suspicious,
the advance agent is called in and
another of the gang takes his place.
Finally, when everything is ready,
the gang swoops on the victim.
They work fast, but with care.
They are too wise to wear masks,
but the man who approaches the
victim holds n over his face. All
the victim sees is a pair Of cleaning
eyes under a hat brim.
"a sedan door is opened. The vic
tim is thrown inside. Arms seize
him and clap a pad of billiard
cloth, fitted with adhesive tape,
owe his eyes.
Torture Is Threatened
"The kidnapers drive for about
two hours, then hustle the blind
folded victim into a hideaway.
There he is bound, hand and foot,
and the threats Of torture and death
begin.
In a few hours or next night,
the gang transfers the captive to
another hideout. There may be
half a dozen transfers. The captive
is told he will be burned alive, or
cut into pieces, or his wife and chill
dren tortured unless the amount
demanded is forthcoming"
Among those the informant said
the seven" have abducted and held
for ransom, were:
Mrs. Nell Donnelly, Kansas City
business woman, reported to have
paid about $4,000.
James Hacket, Blue Island UlIl
gambler, paid a reported 100000.
James j. (Jack) Lynch, Chicago
Racing News service. owner, paid a
reported $4,000.

CHICAGO, Jan. PA band of seven Super-criminals, graduated from
~ machine gun bank holdups to kidnapping for ransom, is the gang
holding Howard A. Woolverton, rich South Bend manufacturer, for
$4,000 ransom, the United Press was informed today.
The Wooverton abduction is another in the long series which the
band has engineered in the last two years in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wis
constn, Missouri, and Michigan.
The wealth the desperadoes have exacted from victims by torture and
terrorism is estimated at more than 100000 Last year they got 100000.

Warning Is Considered

By UHitCd Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. q. A
warning to Japan against violence
at Shanghai was being considered
by the administration today, as a
eleventh hour" move to avert
trouble in the far east.
Meanwhile, the state department
and the British embassy we're
carrying on informal and as yet
inconclusive discussion regarding
cooperation to protect their ma
tionalS and property in Shanghai.
Secretary of State Stimson, fac
ing perhaps the most delicate and
dangerous problem of his regime,
was represented as undecided in his
policy toward Japan, now menacing
Shanghai.
His associates are uncertain
whether the United States will warn
Japan of The consequences of invad-
ing the international quarter, or will
defer action until Japan fully re-
veals its hand. 1t is uncertain
whether London would join in such
a warning.
Three Plans Discussed
During the last few days, it was
learned, these alternatives have
6een discussed by American Off
Gals:
l.. A warning to Japan to avoid
military or naval action at Shang-
hal.
,. Formal invocation of the nine
power Pacific pact, which probably
would mean calling a conference.
3. The possibility of allied naval
action as a last extreme, if Japan
should use force in the international
settlement.
Stimson and his associates have
debated whether a warning to Japan
would be more than an idle gesture.
Toxic already knows that America
disapproved of it's use of force in
Manchuria and would object, even
more strongly, to military measures
at Shanghai.
Navy Use Last Resort
Formal invocation of the nine
power pact would provide only for
conferences such as have been held
internationally for three months at
Geneva and Paris. Yet some Off
Gals feel it would offer a new and
perhaps more effective means of
mobilizing public opinion against
Japan. 1t is considered a definite
possibility.
Allied naval action is something
that officials discuss in the quiet of
their offices and do not dare men
ton publicly. 1t would, of course,
be a last drastic resort.
1t is believed navieS would be
used only if the lives of property
of foreigners at Shanghai or i'll
other ports we're endangered You'd

DeOdOrants

Offensive perspiration may be
due to the drinking of too little
water, to insufficient elimination,
or to mal-ordorous germ which
is particularly liable to attack the
feet. To remedy this condition,
drink more water, eat more fruits,
vegetables and bran, and battle
more frequently. For excessive
perspiration of the feet, add an
ounce of formalin to one quart of
water and battle the feet in this,
or powder them with boric acid
after bathing.
To reduce the perspiration under
the arms, apply each day for a
week twenty-five percent solu-
ton of aluminium chloride, after
the part has first been washed and
dried. During the second week, APP
ply it twice a week, and afterward
only when needed.

Household Decoration

A basket of flowers, either real
or in design makes pretty door
stop. Marquisette curtains are very
dainty. They may be white or in
colors. Window curtains, which
hang on rings from poles and which
slide back and forth to close and
open, may be made of rayon, taft
feta, cretonne or chintz, and are
lined with light tan colored sat
cen.
Separate glass tops may be pur-
chased for furniture, as dresser or
table tops. Do not reserve all the
books for the library. Books are
friendly things and look interest
ing in any room. place few at
tractive ones, between book-ends,
in each bedroom.
Small end-tables may find a
place in a small hallway, set
against the wall. A chintz bed
spread may match the chintz VIM

There is one necessity for the

which leads one to give service to

To develop this spiritual side OF

Vitamin E

Some scientists advance the
theory that a certain food element
which they call Vitamin E. is es-
sential for normal reproduction.
Those childless women. who long
for the feel of little arms about

sufficiently tested to be proven

Foods containing Vitamin e are
lettuce, meat, whole wheat, wheat
germ, milk fat and rolled oats.
These are all wholesome foods and
valuable constituents of any diet.
A diet of this kind does not mean
that only these foods shall be
eaten. but that generous norton
of them should constantly be
stressed-among a wide variety OF
other foods.

A Parents Aim for His Child
florence RidG.ck Boz,

1t is the finest, sweetest. most
glorious thing in the world to be
a parent; to love and guide n e
young one entrusted to our keep
ing. Every parent longs to rear
his child to be strong, clean. eff
cient, successful and happy.
Physical health requires plenty
of fresh air, sleep and exercise
and an ample and balanced diet.
Comfort includes a feeling of Sc
curity, a convenient home, with all
of the necessities and few of the
Injuries.
Social success, especially i'm
portant for girls, demands an at
tractive personality-which m ay
be cultivated by those who are far
from beautiful good manners,
careful dressing, desirable friend
ships and conventionally proper
homes.
Business success especially i'm
portant for boys, but also needed
by girls today-depends largely
upon health, energy, and training
in line of work for which one is
fitted and for which there is a
present and will be a future de-
mand.
Unless one is naturally of a
sunny disposition, and unless he
cultivates habit of appreciation
and optimism, even the most for
tunate of outward circumstances
cannot make him happy. If you
wish your child to live happy
life, train him to look on the bright
side of things, to forget the sun
ny side and think only of "the sill
yer lining" A habit of forgetting
self, of thinking of others, of graf
itude for little blessings of con-
