SOVIET TROOPS
 ARE PREPARING FOR SOMETHING
Travellers Report That They Have Seen Them Assembling-Many Air- planes Too Near Mon- gOlian Border

Harbln, Manchuria, March 22--- (UP)--Travelers arriving here from Europe to-day via the Trans Siberian railroad reported large numbers of soviet troops between Irkutsk and Chita and many air. planes flying along the Mongolian frontier.
 Both Japanese and soviet off, ciols said they had not the slight est intention of fighting. It was obvious, however, that the soviet troops were ready for battle.
 Gen Hasebe, Japanese command CT here, said Japan was doing ev- orything possible to avoid offending the soviets. Gen Tamon said prac- tically the same thing.
 Correspondents returning from Mukden said residents of the city considered the new Manchulian state a joke. They told how Gen Chang Ching-Hui, set up at Muk- den by the Japanese, summoned correspondents for an interview, then allowed his Japanese advisor to do all the talking while he DuSSCu tfle tune huIulEIHB HIS leW shoes and socks.
 The chief source of trouble in Manchuria now Is between the troops of the former Chinese state of Kirin and their successor work ing for the new kirin government established under Japanese tutel- age. There are frequent clashes between these forces. Also, rowing bands of irregular Chinese troops. most of them without leaders, are harassing the Japanese.
 The boycott of Japanese goods has continued quietly and has brought heavy orders for British textiles although the British goods are much higher priced, Some Chinese who sold goods to Japan csc were roughly handled by their fellow merchants.
 Reports from Vladivostok said many troops have arrived there. On a recent trip of the Siberian ex- press IS German engineers were going to Vladivostok and Harbar- ovsk. They said they had been en- gagged for construction of fortif- cations on the Manchurlan from tier.

WHY Do Women 2
Laugh at Insults :
by R. A. Adams
(The Literary Service Bureau
(The Literary Service Bureau

One Of the strange things in CON
n~ection with the modern social trend
of this morally decadent age is the
iightnesS with which women consid-
er approaches from men. 1t seems
that many Of them consider it an hon
or to appeal" to men and. to be
sought by them; and it seems quite
evident that very few consider ser
ious such things as would have been
angrily resented a generation ago.
A case in point is that Of a young
woman who stood on a street corner,
in st. Louis, waiting for a bus. A
man, an entire stranger, stood by her
and began a conversation. It was z
p. M, and he had no excuse that a
late hour suggested something wrong
yet. before he had talked to her ten
minutes he had invited her to make
a trip to Chicago with him, spend the
night there and return the next day,
at his expense. The young woman
only laughed and said, "Why, I am
on my way to Kansas City"
Telling Of this incident the young
woman still was laughing. When
asked why she did not angrily resent
the insult, and why she would laugh
at so serious a thing, her reply was,
1T amused me to think he would con-
slider me so dumb as to accept such a
proposition" She was amused to
have a mana perfect stranger-re-
gard her IS a woman Of the world. or
to seek to degrade her, with no pos
sible encouragement. And she could
not understand why she should have
taken the matter seriously. Such an
attitude and such conduct on the part
Of women are largely responsible for
the loss of respect for womanhood,
and the opinion that all women are
easy marks. Yes, it is past all I'M
~derstanding why women would laugh
at insults-or at what should be con-
sidered insults, by any decent woman.

La Grange, Ga. (CNS) "The Ne

untrammeled," declared Bishop R. A.
Carter in an address before the Geor-
gia annual conference Of the CME.
Church held here last week.
Presiding over more than $50, lay
men and ministers, delegates to the

his audience when he insisted that
the Negro must Immediately build

Democrats on Trial before Negro

New York. Nov. 1.-THE Demo

Negro citizens Of the country declar-

Advancement Of Colored People to-
day in a statement commenting on
the sweeping victory Of the Demo-
cratic forces in the election.
NEGRO voters played their part as
never before in this election" says
the statement. traditional party
lines We're scrapped and it is evident
that in this election for the first
time on a national scale the Negro
was voting on the basis Of his ar
amount interests.
Neither the Negro as a race nor
the NAACP. is Democratic. But the
Negro exercised his right as a cit
izen to vote for those who promised
to safeguard his basic rights. The
NAACP. watched the Hoover Admin
istration and commented freely on its
shortcomings. The NAACP. will be
just exactly as vigilant in watching
the Roosevelt Administration. The
NAACP. is neither Republican nor
Democratic. It is non-partisan, and
it will continue advising the coIored
citizens concerning their best inter
ests regardless Of party.
"The Democratic narty now has a
great opportunity to wipe out the dis
trust with which it has justly been
regarded by many colored people.
The coming years will tell whether
that opportunity has been taken or
not. Meanwhile the NAACP. will re-
main on watch and on guard"
