lions and drive all Chinese forces
out of Jehol province, while bust
ness leaders sought to stem a
financial uneasiness that resulted in
closing of all stock exchanges in
Japan.

reports from Peiping that Chinese
guerillas would cooperate with
Marshal Chang HSueh-Liang's reg
ulars, was expected to be the most
difficult task in more than a year
of fighting in Manchuria and at
Shanghai.

Geneva, Yusoke MatSuoka, had in
structions to start home with his
delegation about Feb. %, which will
be Japan's first step toward quitting
the league The delegation was eX-
pected to return home by way the
United States, where MatSuoka
hoped to confer with President

leaders.

JAPAN DEF|ES
WORLD; WAR
PERIL GROWS
Nippon Is Determined to
Quit League, Carry On
Conquest Drive.
DECIDES ON ISOLATION
open Door to Be Closed in
Orient, Backed by
Heavy Armament.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. - Dis
patches from Geneva, Toxic and va
rious parts of China are regarded
here as by far the most portentous
since Japan captured Mukden and
began her invasion of Manchuria,
Sept. 10, 1881.
Japan's apparently irrevocable
decision to sever connection with
the League of Nations and barTi-
cade herself, so to speak, against
the rest of the world in the Far
East, is seen as the gravest turn
the Sino-Japanese imbroglio yet
has taken.
Nippon's course. as indicated by
her spokesman, can not fail to bring
her into new and perilous collision
with the powers Signatory to the
covenant of the league. the nine
power treaty, and the Kellogg pact
that is to say, with the rest of
the world combined.
Will Isolate Herself
Henceforth the japanese program
apparently includes the following:
First, to proceed, come what may,
with her plan to carve out new
empire for herself on the Asiatic
mainland, and isolate herself
therein.
Second, to arm herself on land, on
sea, and in the air as heavily as the
state of her finances will permit.
Third, to proclaim sort of Mon
roe doctrine" of the Orient by way
of notice to other nations to stay
out.
Fourth, to close the "open door"
in the part of China she controls,
at least by system of cheap pro-
duction, rebates to her nationals,
subsidized industries, railways, and
shipping.
Dynamite in Action
Fifth, to rule the nation through
a sort of military dictatorship, at
the head of which would be the en-
peror, one word from whom destroys
practically all vestige of opposition,
whether it be for peace or war.
On the leagues side, the covenant
would seem to call for further &C
ton of some sort against Japan. And
further action would be juggling
with dynamite.

MAYOR HOPES
LINE Up FOR
Big STAMPEDE
Throng of Candidates Will
Enter Lists, According to
Advance Talk.
JEWETT READY TO GO
Ex- Judge Collins Also Is
Sounding Sentiment
in City.
City Democrats and Republicans
IL u !

City Democrats and Republicans
today awaited entry of additional
candidates for the mayoralty
nomination on both tickets and
selection of Democratic city
chairman.
The Republican tidal wave is ex-
pected to break within the next two
weeks, when Charles w. JeWett,
mayor OF former years. is expected
to enter the lists. Politicians say
that JeWett, an attorney, probably
will be supported by the Coffin
clique and some of the biggest
money in town, If he makes the
race.
1t is the ballyhoo along the pre-
cinct lines that with Jewett in the
race, after his absence from open
political activity for several years,
the local Republican party will be
welded so tightly that the Dem
ocrats will be stopped. The word
has been passed out that harmony
Is the need of the G.. O. P.
COHlnS Ready 10 EnCfT
James A. Collins, former criminal
Judge, also is prepared to announce.
Collins has been interviewing many
OF his friends to sound their senti-
ments on his proposed mayoralty
attempt.
Already in the Republican race are
BoyntOn j. Moore. former city
councilman, and John l.. Duvall, for
mer mayor.
Moore has started his organization,
as has Duvall Moore will make his
campaign to the homes, with several
meetings planned in residences in the
south and east sections of the city
within the next few weeks.
Majority of the announced plat
forms in both parties will be based
on public appeal of lower taxation
and smaShes at utility rates.
Markey First in Race
Joseph Markey is, to date, the
only announced Democratic candi-
date.
Gaining ground, however, is the
report that f. Kirk Mckinney, pres
cnt city chairman and works board
president, will be the head man.
for his party. SO far, he has not
announced and has not even indi-
Gated that he will seek reelection
TO his present post. The city reor-
ganization session will be held
Feb 25.
Walter Shead, former newspaper
man, today announced his candi-
dacy for city chairman. He has
been political contact man and pub
Lefty director for the last two cam
paigns.
William Clauer. county treasurer
elect, and Henry o. Goett city clerk,
also are mentioned as aspiratnts for
the city craftsmanship.
Although Sheriff Charles (BucR
Sumner is expected to be a mayor
atty candidate, he has made no Of
fetal announcement. He will have
the support of a heavy county ma
chine if he Ell nrS the fight.
Party leaders are discussing Prose-
Cutor Herbert Wilson as a prospec-
tive candidate. but Wilson has made
no move to seek the place. 1t is UNI
derstood he will accept if leading
Democrats ask him.
Several others are going through
the procedure of being urged by
friends" to make the mayoralty race,
and the majority of indianapolis
residents are wondering who isn't
running for mayor?"
