Many tranquility is PROB
lematical in view Of the way Japan
and Russia are snarling at each other,
for If those nations go to war the
scene of the conflict will be the newly
established empire which used to be
Manchuria.
Great preparations were made for
the coronation ceremony, but Henry's
Japanese sponsors were so apprehen-
sive of attempts on his life that the
public was not admitted to the rites
In Hsinking, the capital. The emperor
rode the five miles from the palace
to the "altar of heaven" in an Ameri-
can bullet-proof automobile and the
route was protected by barbed wire
stockades and lined with thousands of
troops. For every three Manchukuan
soldiers In the lines there was one
Japanese soldier, and also there were
swarms of secret police. In gorgeous
robes Henry alighted at the altar, In
the open air. and assembled his throne,
while few groups Of officials and
correspondents looked on.
simultaneously with the elevation
of the new ruler. his invalid wife,
Yueh Hua, was vested with the dig
mites of queenhood, although her
health precluded her participation In
the ceremonies.

henceforth as 'ta Manchu II kuo,"
which means the great Manchu en-
pire.
THAT the killing Of SANDING by
i Nicaragua National Guardsmen
may not have been so treacherous and
needless as 1t seemed at first is re-
vealed by dispatches from Managua.
A National Guard detachment raided a
supposed agricultural colony at Wiwili

ammunition and correspondence indi-
eating that SANDING had been in close
contact with Communists who were
preparing to overthrow the govern
ment by force of arms. Twenty-Five
Sandistas were killed in the raid.
Japan and soviet Russia are now
- quarreling over military airplane
flights over each others territory, and
have exchanged sharp notes of pro-
test. Though the situation seems to
be tense. an official spokesman for
Japan denied that hostilities are i'm
minent.
'sThe world need not be afraid that
Russia and Japan are on the verge
of war;" he said. "All of these pro-
tests and the noisy fuss are a good
sign that the danger of war is far
away. When both sides are silent
look out"
ECRETARY OF WAR DERN, prob

Macarthur. chief of staff. told the mill
tary affairs committee of the house
that he was decidedly opposed to con-
gressional plans for an Independent
and greatly enlarged air corps. He
was arguing against two bills intro

the purchase of 1884 military air
planes and for the separation of the
army air corps from the jurisdiction
of the general staff, and the granting

in balance and that the air corps has
had more than its rightul share of
progress in recent years.
