BIZ United Press
SHANGHAI, Jan. 6.-The stu
alton at Shanhaikwan, now occu-
pied by japanese troops, was quiet
today, although reports reaching
here said Chinese soldiers in the
surrounding territory were becom-
ing surly.
1t was reported at Tientsin that
Marshal Chang Kai-Shek has urged
Marshal Chang Tsueh-Liang, whose
troops are near the captured city
to continue his resistance against
japanese forces. Chang, the most
powerful war lord in China, de-
clared that any further encroach-
ments into China proper should be
opposed vigorously.
The japanese military commander
at ChinWangtao has protested to
Chinese military leaders that Chi
nese marauders have been plum
dering japanese homes.
Chinese officials feared these ac-
cusations were being made to pro-
vide an excuse for another japanese
offensive south of the great wall.
The Chinese foreign Office at Nan
king issued a lengthy statement this
afternoon, including the report of
Chinese military officials, which
tended to show that Japanese start
ed both the bombing and infantry
attacks at Shanhaikwan.

TO COOLIDGE

Occupy Says MCNutt
in Statement.

Word of the unexpected death of
Calvin Coolidge brought statements
of sorrow today from Governor
Harry G. Leslie and Paul V. McNutt,
Governor elect.
THE death of eX-President Cool
idge is a great loss to the Amer
lean people, Leslie said. His
astute political wisdom, his unerring
sense of values, his keen Yankee
humor, his careful, conservative at
titude toward the affairs of life en-
deared him to all who knew him.
He was personification of true
Americanism."
THE sudden and untimely passing
of former President Coolidge has
cast a pail over the entire nation, y
McNutt said. His long and notable
public service won for him the high
regard and confidence of all citi-
zens. He leaves place no man
can occupy"

"Your devoted friend,
Nancy"
A few days later the rugged
young Josiah Stark set out for Fort
Ticonderoga with Nancy's letter in
one OF his saddle bags. The girl had
praised and fattered him for no
other reason than her need of his
help. He had traded horses with
young Israel Sapp, who had come
down from Skenesborough to the
army on Collins solicitation in the
last autumn. He had ridden a tire
less black gelding which he had
bought from Mrs. Bowlby. Stark
needed tough horse used to noun
tain travel. The one he owned was
worn. So he gave Sapp horse and
a good sum of money for the gel
ding.
One day in northern Massachu-
setts, Stark dismounted to enter o
store for food. AS had been his Gus
tom, be left the horse standing In
front of the store. lie had always
stood without hitching. The animal
having come TO familiar country, I'M

for his old home. Stark went on

ing TO overtake him. The horse had
spent three years of his life in Mrs.
Bowlby's stable. That night. awak-
ened by his tramping and whinny-
ing around the house. she arose,
lighted her lantern and went out-of-
doors where she found the riderless
animal She took him TO the stable,
removed the saddle and bags, tied
him In a stall and gave him food
and water. In the darkness she
failed 10 recognize the horse.
She brought the bags into the
house wondering what could have
happened to the absent rider. In
one of the bags she found Nancy's
letter. Thinking that ii would give
clue TO the identity of the horses
owner. she opened and read the let
ter which Nancy had written TO her
friend in Canada. She was natu-
rally astonished by its contents. for
she remembered vividly the young
man to whom it related and for
whom she still entertained a feeling
of gratitude and obligation. She put
the letter in another envelope, read
dressed it and returned II to its
place in the saddle-bag.

he was wont to do. A self-made mil
itary hero, with a title from con-

for time among the Mohawks, one
of whose maidens became his wife

The resounding promises OF this
European cast-off. made with a
humping fist, his impassioned re-
view of his own career in Portugal
and Poland. his claim that it had
won the friendship of Frederick the
Great, had naturally impressed the
Sim Bottses in congress. He dealt
in their kind of talk. They knew
that he must be great man. They
listened and crowned him with the
highest honor in their gift and sent
him to Washington. His rank gave
him some excuse for talking loudly.
He was sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal.
There were two people at general
headquarters who distrusted this
man. They were Martha Washing
ton and Colin Cabot, who had found
il difficult to conceal their aversion.
While Colin was waiting for the
major general to finish his grafton.
the Lady Washington came and
beckoned TO him. He followed her
to the library. She had an indig.
nant look.

Colin made his report 20 the

tious, at the weekly meeting of the
Rowanis club, "if you will pardon
me, wish to refer again to a sub

cussed here in the past. At any
rate, ii is topic that appeals to
/ me as being of timely interest. one
that concerns virtually all of us to
| greater or lesser degree. To come
TO the point, friends, | refer to the
coming of those warm days when
men discard their waistcOats-or
vests-and transfer from this gar
ment 10 other garments, the various
useful and necessary implements and
articles that have, during the winter
season, been carried in the waistcoat
pockets. There is one gentleman
! here who does not wear waistcoat
winter or summer, and he may be
excused If he does not care TO re
main. but most of us are accustomed
! to dOnning vests when the cool days
come in autumn and wearing them
until spring forces us into cooler ha
| biliments.
"My friends, ! have made statis-
| tical survey of the suit of clothing
that J now have on, and ] call your
attention, not to the clothes, but TO
the pockets the suit contains. In the
trousers we find two side pockets,
two hip pockets, watch pocket and
secret inside pocket for currency
made in the days before boarding
was Taboo and when there may have
been something to hoard. The waist
coat has four outside pockets and
one inside. The coat has four out
side pockets, two inside and a little
extra ticket pocket. Thus we have
six pockets for the trousers, five for
the waistcoat and seven for the
coat or eighteen in all.
"Now, then, ] claim that l am not
alone in the practice of carrying
something in each pocket. We will
take the waistcoat, for that is the
garment under discussion. In the
lower left pocket, let US say, will be
the watch. In the lower right pock
ct we will find box of safety
matches. The upper left pocket
houses spectacles and a small note
book. our pen and pencils we dis
cover in the upper right pocket. In
the inside pocket is our drivers Ii
cense. Ii is Immediately apparent
that we cannot do without any of
these things, so when the mercury
goes up to where a waistcoat is un-
comfortable, we will have to move
out of 1t and place these things in
the pockets of the coat and trousers
pockets that already have their
full quota of deposits. AS we are
TO reach for our watch, our matches,
our pen, and so on, where we have
been accustomed to find them, and
we will no sooner become reconciled
to the new order of things until au-
tumn will be here, and we will be
moving back into our waistcOat
again. There will be days when
going without even a coat will be
advised, whereupOn it will be neces-
