Prof. Frank l.. Apperly of the Medi-

perimentS show no suggestion Of
heredity was found in children of
cancerous fathers, but Sc per cent of
the daughters of cancerous mothers

Thus, so far, there is strong evi-
dence that the achlorhydria Qack of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach
juice) preceding gastric cancer in
women is an inborn condition which
in some way predisposes to cancer OF
the stomach, said Prof. Apperly.
If this be true, it is hoped that
further study of people with achlor-
hydra may give clue to the whole
cancer question:" said the Virginia
professor.
Prof. Apperly will discuss this SUBJ
ject at the 1884 meeting of the Vir-

GENEVA, April 28.-A storm ap-
peared to be brewing tonight regard
ing the reappointment of DR.. Ludwig
Rajchman. special League of Nations
envoy, who is returning from China
with suggestions for helping that
nation economically and socially.
1t was reported that representatives
OF certain powers, acting on Japanese
suggestions, had decided not to rec
ommend retaining DR.. Rajchman in
the post after July. when his term
expires. This course, it was said,
would be ''in the interest of harmony
in the Far East"
The League secretariat seemed di-
vided as to how to handle the Far
Eastern problem. complicated re-
Gently by japanese manifesto as

especially in China.
Some saw in the possible rejection
Of DR.. Rajchman's plan approval for
Japans policies and doom for the
Leagues project to help China.
Others thought the withdrawal of the
envoy would better the situation in
view of Japan's hostility.

GERMANy'S DEBT
EXCUSESSCANNED
BondhoIders Scrutinize
Claim Currency Situation
Prevents Payments.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 28.-Germany's
claim that her foreign currency situa-
tion makes it impossible to continue
payments on her foreign obligations
was closely scrutinized today by repre-
sentatives of bondholders abroad.
One group began Investigations of
the actual amount of foreign currency
available and another delved into the
organization of Germany's foreign
currency control.
A third study may be made of the
so-called German export subsidy
methods through the repatriation of
German bonds abroad and dealings in
scrip and blocked marks.
Meanwhile, it was reported that DIR.
Hjalmar Schacht. president of the
Reichsbank, and the creditors agents
are matching equally firm attitudes
across the conference table.
Holds Payments Impossible.
DR.. Schacht and other German
financiers have persistently emphasized
that declines in foreign trade, tariff
barriers, and American and British
currency moves have made a con-
tinuation of interest payments on Ger
man obligations impossible.
1t was reliably indicated, however.
that the creditors minimize the inter-
national significance German finan-
ciers attach to the present transfer
problem.
In this connection it was understood
strong hints have been given that
Germany must not overlook a certain
"unreceptive" mood abroad and that
various domestic factors and programs
are engendering that mood.
In short, it was pointed out, inter-
national psychology is being Offered"
against international trade conditions.
That DR.. Schacht has the complete
backing of the German press in his
stand was indicated further today by
Propaganda Minister Goebbers news
paper, which termed British warn
ing against a moratorium as use
less diplomatic gestures"
France and Britain Protest.
France and Great Britain yesterday
made representations to the German
foreign office against any plan to post
pone payments on the Dawes and
Young loans. DR. Schacht earlier
limited that Germany might ask a
complete moratorium on all debt
services.
Rumors that the debt conference,
which opened yesterday, was already
on the verge of break down because
Of DR.. Schacht's firm stand that Ger
many cannot transfer her payments
were denied by Leon Fraser, American
president of the Bank for Interna-
tional Settlements, and chairman of
the present meetings
This is the first thing I've heard
about it," Mr.. Fraser said.
The newspaper Allgemeine Zeitung
struck this pessimistic note: ''As
long as amortization and interest
service on the Dawes loan and interest
on the Young loan require 100000
marks annually and German trade
yields no surplus currency at all. it
is questionable. despite Germany's will
to pay, whether even the slightest pos
sibility of a transfer can be devised"

The friends OF the japanese gov
ernment are scurrying about town to
get some hint of the American Gov
ernment's next move. Newspapers are
read searchingly by the attaches of
the embassy, but the writer's seem to
be as much in the dark as to. what
the policy Of the country is going to
be. as the diplomats themselves. Not
one of the many ambassadors and
ministers who have called at the State
Department recently have obtained the
slightest inkling of what is in the
mind of the administration.
Queerly enough, the principal
European governments seem more
1Dorrted about the neU japanese
outburSt than the American Gop-
ernment. 1t is probably because
the analytical European students
OF the Far Eastern problems real
ise the danger of yellou peril
more than I0e do in this country.
Quite recently the well known
French scientist, Prof. Charles Richet,
has been examining the tendencies of
the growth of the populations of the
world
He has come to the conclusion that
while within the next 10 years the
population of Europe will increase by
20,000,000 people as against 10000, 900
on both American continents, the
population of Asia will. in the same
period increase by 120, 900, 900 indi-
viduals
Nature, Prof. Richet says, will come
to the assistance of the white race
and prevent it from being submerged
by the enormous number of Asiatics.
The world water supply IS gradually
becoming insufficient to fertilize the
land, and consequently, the produc-
ton of food will become limited too.
But while, in the Americas and
Europe scientific methods are applied
even now to regulate the existing
water supply, nothing of the sort is
being done in Asia, which needs it
more than We do. . Richet comes to
the conclusion that, unless scientific
methods are applied by the yellow
races to control the water supply.
much of the future increase in popu-
lation might be wiped out.

For eight months these children

will be educated to love the beauties

Japan is now waiting for the re-

thrown in the camp, of the nations

foreign Office. however, is uneasy about
the attitude of the American Govern

somewhat disquieting for the Japanese
statesmen; they would have preferred
some blast from the White House to
