NI0sCOW'S famous trial of six Brit
- ISL engineers and eleven Russians
on charges OF espionage, sabotage and
bribery ended In the conviction of FIVE
OF the Brifons and ten OF the Rus
slams. L. C. Thornton was sentenced
to three years in prison; w. III. Mac
Donald, who pleaded guilty, to two
years. Allan Monkhouse, John cnshny
and Charles Nordwall were ordered
deported; A. w. Gregory was acquit-
ted. The ten Russians were given
prison terms up to ten years. There
was nothing surprising In the outcome
unless it were the mIidness OF the pen
alties inflicted.
The British government, which had
been watching the case with intense
interest, struck back at the Soviet
union promptly. King George and the
privy council declared an so per cent
embargo on Russian imports and the

ground, so he gives out this message .
No incumbent whose term has not
yet expired and who has been render
ing loyal and efficient service to the
government need have the slightest
tear OF removal. 1t will be the policy
of the Post Office department to allow
every efficient postmaster to fill o,t
his term
District attorneys, marshals and
collectors are not under civil service
n In time these places probably will
be filled with deserving Democrats.
Also there are hundreds Of vacancies
In the postmasterships to be filled i'm
medlately, and these will be filled as
soon as Mr.. Farley's department has
completed a study of examination
methods.
Inc postmaster general makes the
welcome assertion that the United

this. he believes. will suffice to bal

TAPAN'S armies In China continued
= their advance south of the proof
wall, driving before them disorganizea
or traitorous Chinese troops. The
Japanese at latest reports had occu-
pied the entire triangle between tho
wall and the Ivan river, with its base
on the gulf OF Pohai, and were moving
onward toward Tientsin. They crossed
the river near Lwanchow and bom-
barded that city and the surrounding
region. There was great alarm IN
Tientsln. where some 400 Americans
mostly business men and their fam
lilies. reside.
When the Japanese started their
push into the undIsputed Chinese ter
ritory south OF the great wall the
Ivan river was set as the limit Rut
the Japanese command now has an
nounced that they will continue the
pursuit as far as the Chinese con
tinue to set up defenses. The ian
anese authorities deny. however. that
they intend to occupy Peiping and
Tientsin. Their apparent plan is to
create q buffer area out OF the triangle
TO facilitate the consolidation OF the
newly conquered province OF Jehol
They have gained control OF all the I'M
portant passes through the great wall
the southern border OF Jehol and
the gates have been sealed and heavy |
guards placed at them.
