Manchukuo's Emperor.

Manchukuo, the puppet state which
Japan carved out of what used to be
the Chinese provinces of Manchuria
and Jehol, will celebrate its second year
Of independence" on March 2, by
croWning tWenty-eight-year Henry
Pu-Yi as Emperor. The Manchukuans
believe that he will ascend their new
throne as "HSuan Tung," the name
under which, as ''the last of the Man
chus" and China's hoy emperor" he
occupied the late Manchu throne in
old Peking.
The reincarnation of young Mr..
Pu-Yi as, full-blown royalty is, of
course, the latest move in Japan's pro-
gram to portray Manchukuo to the
world not as the creation of the jap
anese army for Nippon's political pur-
poses in North China, but as the
symbol, freely chosen, of the Manchu-
rian peoples longings for liberation
from the Chinese yoke and for sove-
reign national existence. Ever since he
was spirited out of his retreat in the
Japanese concession at Tientsin Mr.
Pu-Yi has functioned as the nominal
civilian executive of Manchukuo. He is
now to be caparisoned with the trap
pings of the purple, to which he was
Born, ensconced in a million dollar pal

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Starting and Stopping.
I learned to drive motor car
With a courageous heart.
The most important PORT by far
Seemed, firstly, how to start.
And everything was gay and bright
Along level road
Where you need only steer Alright
And let the gas explode.
Unto dull care gave no heed
Until met cop
Who said, my friend, what most yo1
need
Is learning when to stop"
The problem of each passing hour,
Which such difference makes.
Is knowing when to put on power
And when to use the brakes.

A VANGUARDIA, Barcelona.-In
Germany the so-designated su-
preme or disciplinary" court
has suspended from their func-

tions three judges charged with
being too mild in carrying out the
edicts of the party National-Socialist.
The particular infraction of contempo-
rary law which has exhibited this Cb-
jectionable leniency is not melting out
penalties of sufficient severity to a
number of school masters who de-
clined to stress in their classes the
supposed injustices to Germany con-
tanned in the Versailles treaty. 1t is
inferred from this that the depoSed
judges were not remiss in visiting with
condign punishment all offenders
against the criminal laws.
In our country pedagogic mediocrity
has not yet been made matter OF
judicial concern, but the novel pro-
cedure along these lines now observed
in Germany suggests that it might be
a sapient deviation from precedent to
remove jurists that have shown them
selves far too considerate in their ad-
ministration of the statutes against
felons. Such unwarranted circm-
spection does more to encourage crime
than all other incentives to outlawry
combined.

Seeing Fire Proves
Costly for Merchant.

El Comercio, Lima-Three men Of
respectable enough appearance entered
yesterday afternoon the store of Ferrari
Hermanos ("Ferrari BrothersD, and
asked to be shown some clothing. One
of the trio, whose name is thought to
be Carbajal Teobaldo Gomez, finally
selected a suit and tried it on within
the recesses of the curtained alcove.
While engaged in this experimentation
certain equipage of the fire department.
passed the door, and the proprietor and
the two other patrons hurried to the
doorway to observe the career OF the
cited apparatus. The fire engines stop
ped before another emporium a brief
distance off, and Senor Antonio F'errari,
with the two unknown individuals,
hastened to participate in the excite
ment.
This was most unfortunate curiosity
on the part of Senor Ferrari for, when
he returned to his shop few minutes
later, for the conhagration exhibited
in no respect the proportions he had
anticipated, his supposed patron had
disappeared, wearing the new suit. His
old apparel, save for the pantaloons,
lay on the floor of the dressing room.
Nothing was found in the pockets OF
the remaining garments, except an old
envelope, bearing the aforesaid name,
Carbajal Teobaldo Gomez, and an ad-
dress designated as in the Gale Llanos,
and situate at No. GIT. Inquiries by
the police have failed to identify any
one of this name at that location

In prophesying another and a last
World War, H. G. Wells, in his recent
book, "The Shape of Things to Come
(MacMillan), gives its imaginary i'm
mediate cause-an absurd one, but
hardly more far-fetched than the i'm
mediate cause of the World War of
1914-18. Mr.. Wells pictures a Polish
commercial traveller, of Jewish origin
on train, in 1910, which has stopped
at DanZig. He is black-bearded man
with a prominent nose. He is having
trouble with badly fitting dental plate
because of piece Of nut. As he looks
out from the car window and attempts
to dislodge the nut his face Is con-
torted. A young NaZi outside on the
platform sees him and interprets the
facial contortions as ridicule of his
uniform. With three fellow Nazis, he
enters the train and forces an alterca-
ton, which Is checked by other pasSen-
gers and the Nazis are expelled from
the train. Thereupon the Nazi who
has considered himself insulted turns
and shoots through the window at the
Pole, who drops dead. Further fight
ing is stopped by the engineer of the
train, who pulls his train out of the
station. 1t Is an international Incl
dent The Nazis have no legal author
ity in the railroad station. The Pole
has unwittingly released "the dogs o1
war from the Pyrenees to Siberia.
