BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
Jan. "a. - (UP). - Grey-haired
General Hans Kundt, veteran Ger
man army officer, called up STRAIT
egy of World war days to aid him
yesterday in directing the Bolivian
assault upon Paraguay's Fort
Nanawa on the Grand Chaco bat
| tlefront.
Dispatches from the front said
General Kundt sent picked Bolivi-
an troops, whom he has trained
for years, in waves across the
marshland around the fort. The
ParaguayanS defended stubborn
ly, however, and latest casualty
reports indicated more than $500
on both sides had been killed and
wounded in the four days battle.
The attention of all South
America was focused upon the
battle-one Of the bloodiest in re-
cent Latin-American history.
Reports to Asuncion, the Para
! guayan capital, declared the de-
! tenders of Fort Nanawa had re-
pulsed the Bolivians with wither-
ing machine gun fire.
Mud made advances doubly diff
ficult, and heavy artillery was APP
parently unable to function &C
curately on such a terrain, al
though the Bolivian DISPATCHES
claimed heavy damage by the ter
rifle barrage of big guns under
which their infantry moved up.
Both sides claimed success. Re
ports from La Paz, the Bolivian
capital, and dispatches from Para
quay each insisted the advantage
was going their way, but the only
fact apparent was that neither
could yet claim complete victory.
Gen. Kundt meanwhile pounded
away with characteristic German
tenacity. His lines repulsed, he
reformed them and sent others
over the top into the Paraguayan
fire. The reports said the Boliv-
ians sank up to their thighs as
they stepped into swamp-holes in
shell-torn spots around the fort.
The waves of men across the
marsh were less frequent toward
nightfall, however, reports indl-
Gated. the Bolivians deciding to
pound away with their artillery in
an effort to beat down the Para
guayan defenses before taking up
| their intensive charges.
Paraguayan officials announced
at Asuncion that a separate Boliv-
| ian attack on Fort Herrera in the
Corrales sector, about rs miles
northwest of Fort Nanawa, had
been repulsed after II hours.
The Bolivian advance resulted
in the most determined battle
since the latest Chaco warfare be-
gan last July. 1t apparently was
part of an effort to blast the
Paraguayan forces out Of the
Chaco territory and thus seize for
Bolivia this long-coveted boundary
zone.

LIQUOR ship
Complications With Canada
Are Avoided by Action;
Canada Protests

WASHINGTON. Jan. "a. (UP)
An international complication
which might have cost the United
States the longstanGing co-opera-
ton of Canada IN enforcing pro-
hibition was averted yesterday by
a supreme court decision freeing
small liquor ship now being held
in Providence. R. |.
The vessel, the property of
Frank Cook, Nuremberg, n. s.,
was seized by coast guardsnen
less than ~ miles off the Massa-
chusetts coast Nov. /, 1880. She
was named Mazel Tow and had
only $14,286 worth Of un,nani-
tested liquor aboard. Even the
boarding coast guardsmen regard
ed her as no great catch. Her
asthmatic engines could make
only nine knots per hour.
But in spite of her lack of i'm
portance the case was the cause
of sharp note of protest from
Canadian Minister Herridge to
Secretary of State Stimson last
month. He protested that the
Providence federal court ruling
which found the seizure was legal
"would tend to Illustrate the aid
given this country by Canada un-
der the 12-mile limit treaty of
1924 and which had "almost elm
mated the contra band traffic on
the coasts of the United States"
The Canadian government held
that the tariff act of 1924 could
not alter the 1922 treaty which
permitted the search and seizure
of rum vessels only within an
hours sailing distance of the
coast. The lower courts had held
that the tariff act was more pow
erful than the treaty and that the
Mazel Tox was proper game for
the coast guard within II miles
of shore.
The supreme court. after a
careful study of the treaty and in
ternational law, conceded the Can
adam government was right and
that the vessel must be set free.
The court in a brief session de-
cided to review the unsuccessful
suit of Philip Hurn and Percy
Morgan, Jr., which charged Full
ton Oursler and Lowell Brentano,
authors, and Albert Lewis and
Sam Harris, producers of the mys.
terry melodrama "The Spider
with pirating the work from their
play "The Evil Hour. "The Spi-
der" was a Broadway and screen
success of several years ago and
series of plagiarism suits fol-
lowed it's production.
The court also took jurisdic-
ton of a suit challenging the
right of Oklahoma City, Okla. to
REQUIRE oil well drillers to post a
100000 liability bond before
looking for oil.

Bound to Court
In Car Collision
Mayor Holds Roper on
Reckless Driving Charge

Mayor A. V. Edwards this
morning bound U. G. Roper to the
county recorders court under
5000 bond on a charge of reckless
driving in connection with an ac-
cident on Sunday night on North
Main street in which a car driven
by Roper struck a car driven by
Moultrie Smyth and turned over.
Witnesses testified that the
Smyth car was proceeding south
on Main street, that it was struck
by the car driven by Roper, and
that Roper's car then passed
around the Smyth car and turned
over, breaking off fire hydrant
as it passed the curb.
None of the four occupants OF
Roper's car or the four in the
Smyth car were injured. The
Chevrolet car driven by Roper
was badly damaged, and the Ford
car driven by Smyth was damaged
on the rear and left rear fender.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Jan. "a
(UP).-President-elect Roosevelt
last night spiked rumors that the
progressive Republican leaders
who supported him in the election
campaign were Directing to any
persons he might have under con-
sideration for cabinet positions.
"There has been no opposition
from the progressives, | can say
that definitely" Roosevelt replied.
The question concerning such
reported opposition was put to
him in connection with the visit
here on Senators Robert M. La
Toilette of Wisconsin, and Bron-
son Cutting of New Mexico. While
he insisted they discussed unem-
ployment relief the general i'm
preston was that they went thor
oughly into the cabinet field.
Some friends of the president
elect believed their visit, at his
express invitation" was primar-
lily for the purpose of exchanging
views on the likelihood of Owen
D. Young, Preparations expert and
international banker, or Norman
H. Davis, arms conference expert
being offered the state depart
ment portfolio.

complete his cabinet lineup dur,

into specific details at this time,
He also added that the economic

Great Britain Moves to
Broaden Scheme of
Conference
By HERBERT MOORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON Jan. 24.-a{UP1 49,
A move for Anglo-American CO.
operation in an effort to solve the
worlds economic crisis was seen
yesterday behind Washington's in
vitation to reopen the war debts
discussion at a conference follow
ing President-elect Roosevelt's in
auguration March 4.
The foreign office, in confirm
ing receipt of the invitation thru
its embassy in Washington, said
it was understood that the debts
conversations must also be con-
cerned with world economic prob
lens.
The American invitation was
said to be conditional on agree
ment by the British to broaden
the scope of the debts discussion
to embrace practically all the eco
nomic ills now facing the world.
Hence, representatives also sh0ul'l
be sent to discuss methods of deal
ing with the world situation. as
we'll as the particular problem of
the British debt to the United
States.
For this reason, it was indicat-
ed, the British mission in all prob
ability would include some Of the
highest officials III the govern
ment, including Premier ]. RAM
say Macdonald. Others whose
names again occurred in these
sub-official discussions of the mis-
sion'S personnel were Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the
exchequer, and Walter Runciman,
president of the board of trade.
The delegation thus would be
the same as at the Lausanne repa-
rations conference, except for the
omission of Sir Herbert Samuel,
Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, of the
treasury, was expected to head
the experts commission accom-
panying the delegation.
The cabinet meanwhile adj
journed after an hours session
without coming to a decision on
the invitation from Secretary of
State Henry L. Stimson to re-
open the war debts discussions.
The war debts invitation will be
taken up again at the cabinet
meeting on Wednesday.
There was no indication that
the invitation would not be &C
copied as a result of the cabinets
failure to act. In most quarters,
the postponement was merely re-
garded as an indication the gov

Sir Walter H"tnI
RALEIGH. Jan. 24.-Whether
the pending Ewing anti-lobbyine
bill has anything to do with it is
an undecided question. but the
fact remains that there has been
little evidence of. active lobbying
on the floor Of the general assem-
bly, this session.
That the lobbyists are here al
ready in small numbers is evident.
but they have been keeping off
the floors of the assembly. OBJ
servers say that there has been
less lobbying both inside and out
side the capital this session than
in recent years.
The principal feature of the
Cumberland representatives bill is
that it prohibits lobbyists from
being extended the privilege Of
the floor. in addition to requiring
them to register with the secre-
tarv of state.
The Ewing bill, which passed
the house last week, is slated for
passage in the senate early this
week. 1t was favorably reported
by the senate committee on prop
ositions and grievances last Fri
day. Expressions by a majority
of senate member sindicates that
it will encounter little opposition
on the floor.
None of the legislators believe
that the Ewing bill will do much
to stop lobbying, but most of
them are convinced that Il will
abolish some of the more objec-
tionable features of the practice,
such as former legislators getting
the privilege of the floor and then
trying to influence members while
the legislature is in session.
While the Ewing measure would
not prevent ex-members from be-
ing granted floor privileges, the
provision requiring them to regis
ter with the secretary of state,
would identify them as paid lob
byiSts.
