Clash in North China

MYTH everything prepared for the

North China, there was almost the GER
tainty of serious fighting in that re-

reported in Tokyo that Gen. Chang

600 soldiers in the northern provinces,
chiefly along the Lunghai railroad in

would be a serious battle.

member nations, the United States
and Germany. Nearly all the worlds
chief ports are closed to Italian goods,
and exports to Italy Of arms, war ma
terials and long list of key products
has stopped. Loans and credits for
the Italian government, public bodies,
corporations and individuals are for
hidden.
Should this momentous action sue
coed, 1t would seem that the end Of
Benito Mussolini and the Fascist re-
gime in Italy is in sight. Should it
fail, the League of Nations fails, the
British communications in the Mediter-
ranean would be threatened, and the
peace of the world would be menaced.
Standing steadfast against the sane
lions, Premier Mussolini proclaimed
the day on which they were ,estab-
lished "a day of ignominy and in
iQuity," as had been declared by the
Fascist grand council. The day was
made a holiday, flags flew from all
buildings and there were numerous an
CRY demonstrations against the men,
Der nations of the league. The from
tiers Of Italy and its ports were closed
to goods of those nations except for
certain necessities. Restrictions of
food, fuel and light were put in force.
AS for the Ethiopian war itself, Mus
solini announced an important change
in commanders. Gen. Emilio de Bono
was recalled with warm praise for hav-
ing achieved his mission "under ex-
tremely difficult circumstances" and
was to be elevated to the rank of mar
shall. Gen. Pietro Badoglio, chief of
staff, was appointed to succeed De
Bono as commander in chief of the in
vading armies.
The Italian forces in northern Eth
Opia were preparing for new for

Amba Alaji, 40 miles south of Makale.
1t was learned that Emperor Halle Sc
lassie had sent to his men in that re-
gion an order not to retreat further,
so there were prospects of real bat
tie. Ten thousand well trained and
well armed warriors from the rich
province of Walega arrived at Adds
Ababa to fight the Italians.

Treaty With Canada
Is Made Public

A MEXICAN business generally Is
pleased with the terms of the new
trade treaty with Canada, made public
simultaneously in Washington and OF
tawa. Farmers and the lumber men
of the northwest will not like it.
High tariff advocates in congress are
sure to attack the pact, but its terms
cannot be affected for three years,
even were congress to repeal the re-
ciprocal trade act under which Presi-
dent Roosevelt acted in negotiating the
agreement. 1t is considered a trade
agreement rather than formal treaty,
and goes into effect January next.
Government officials, foreseeing ad-
verse reaction in some quarters be-
cause of some of the sliced American
duties, sought to show the pact would
lead to greatly increased trade and en-
ployment which would benefit the
country.
President Roosevelt stressed that
while duties were lowered on Cana
dian cattle, cream, seed potatoes and
certain kind of lumber, quotas placed
on these articles would prevent seri-
GUS interference with the American
market.
An analysis Of the pact shows that
the United States grants concessions to
Canada on 70 major commodities, in
Guiding:
Tariff slash on four-year-old whisky
from 81 to 80 cents per fifth of a
gallon.
Reductions in duties on specified
quotas of beef cattle (froln 3 to
cents per pound on animals over
200 pounds; dairy cows (21a to 112
cents); cream (566 cents to 30 cents
per gallon); white or Irish seed po-
tatoes (75 to As cents per 100
pounds; Douglas fir and western
hemlock (5O per cent?.

Business Is Encouraged
by Secretary Roper

TT SECRETARY ROPER in address,
L ing the Associated Grocery Manu-
facturers of America in New York was
speaking with authoritative knowledge
of the intentions of the administration,
business may feel considerably reas-
sured. He said "the breathing spell
which we are now enjoying is to be the
end of governmental RECOMMENDATION"
He declared business was the Escape
goat of the depression and he upheld
the profit system. OF Mr.. Roosevelt's
announcement of breathing SPELL"
the secretary said:
"This declaration of the President
is clear-cut and concrete. 1t means
specifically that the basic program of
reform has been completed. 1t means
that business no longer needs to feel
any uncertainty as to what may come
in the future with respect to govern
mental measures"
According to Washington dispatch
in the New York Times, informal or
ders have been issued by President
Roosevelt to administrative officials to
cut federal expenditures under the 1887
budget to $500,000,000 less than the
newly estimated total for 1896.
AS result, the dispatch says, the
lives of many federal bureaus and
agencies were reported to be hanging
in the balance.
The economy wave is heightened by
signs of better business, the Times
says.

When I started I was 16," says
Hoeksema, "and harness making

S. J. Finch, holder of the mort
gage, was offered a cashiers check
on local bank for the amount of
his mortgage, but refused asking
that he be paid in legal tender.
Mrs. FleSchner returned to her

Because Finch could not deliver

CHICAGO HAS
BOOTLEGGERS
ION THE RUM

CHICAGO, Sept. 6. U.P) - The
bootlegging industry, which in Al
Capone's heyday was a billion-a-
year business, is cheap racket TO-
day.
The glamour Of the old days,
when prohibition was a windfall for
dealers in illegal booze, is gone. The
big leaders of the trade, one by
one, have dropped into oblivion.
Such is the opinion of authori-
ties now trampling the remnants
of the illegal rum gangs.
E. G. YelloWley, chief of the alco-
hol tax unit of the internal reve-
nue. department here, said:
There are only the petty oper-
ators left. The investment is too
high and the prices are too low
The old 1OO-gallon still has given
way to 20-gallon stills"
Despite protests of professional
liquor taSters, who can spot a faxed
scotch label from the far end of
the bar, Yellowley said there is
little bootleg left on the market.
One of the most common forms
of petty bootlegging at present,
the tax chief said, lis to cut legi-
innate liquor three times and then
rebottle it.
Scotch seems to be faovrite Of
these operators, who add creosote
to bogus whisky to produce the
genuine smoky flavor. Now and
then brandy also is bootlegged, but
it is usually of low quality

ORANGE TREES
TRACED BACK
TO MASSACRE

PORTERVILLE, Calf, Sept 6.
U.P)-An Indian massacre indirectly
was the cause of the first orange
tree being planted in the San Joa-
quin valley, recalls Mrs. Lizzie
Woods, pioneer Tulare resident.
A sudden outbreak in 1870 re-
suited in the deaths of white
woman and her two children, and
nearby ranchers feared a general
uprising of Tule river Indians.
Troops were sent from the San
Francisco presidio. While quar-
tered in Porterville they received
a few oranges. One of them was
given to a man named Gibbons,
whose wife carefully preserved and
planted the seeds from the the
then-rare fruit.
The seeds grew into trees, at
tracing hundreds of visitors from
all parts of northern California.
The orange industry now ranks
as one of the leading in yearly out

MOSCOW PLAN
IS APPROVED

MOSCOW, Sept. 6. (U.P)-A GEN
eral 10year plan for the recon-
struction of Moscow has been
adopted by the peoples commissars
and the central committee of the
All-Union Communist party.
Construction projects include
2500 large dwelling houses, tn {
Palace of Soviets, a large number
Of houses for the Academy of
Sciences, scores of new theatres
h hospit Ills, scientific institutes,
schools and stadiums.
From the Palace of Soviets
crowned by huge statue OF
Lenin, wide avenues will radiate
On the reconstructed and widened
squares, granite and marble tri-
bunes, beautiful fountains and
pools will be built.
Moscow, as a city, still carries
the stamp of its historic past -
many meandering streets, blind
alleys, wooden and one story
houses, crowded dwellings an
shortage of .S'ater and trees.
During the years following the
revolution, Moscow has changed
radically. Thousands of large
dwelling houses and public build
ings have been erected, the sub
way is operating, the squares have
been cleaned and the sire is
widened. But complete reconstruc-
ton is necessary to transform Mos
COW into a beautiful city.
Low ramshackle houses, which
in the past had accentuated tht
magnificence of private residences
will be pulled o Wn. In theil
place, entire blocks of new houses
will arise in all parts of the city.
Reconstruction, it is hoped, will
put an end to dust, SCOT and dirt
Scores of enterprises will be with
drawn beyond the boundaries OF
the city. Around the capital a
huge belt of woods will be laid out
In the city itself the boulevards
will be considerably widened, and
new parks created. The embank
ments of the Moscow rivers and
channels will be covered with
trees.
