CAPE CHURCHILL, Nov. 80. (By
Wireless)-Here we are in a little
Eskimo settlement on the Western
Shore of Hudson Bay. After our
II. hours of enforced delay Slight
northerly wind brought a colder
temperature, the fog lifted, and the
air became crisp and clear. With
a steam hose from the Sea Lion we
cleaned off all the sleet and ice
from the plane. 1t is surprising how
just little film of ice can cut the
lifting power of the plane to almost
nothing. The actual weight of the
ice meant nothing for we had used
more fuel since leaving Rupert's
Hudson Bay post than the weight
of the ice amounted to, but it was
the ice caused by the freezing mois-
ture that changed the surface of
the wing, especially the upper side,
from leading to trailing edge.
We are here at Cape Churchill, or
rather at Button bay, at the mouth
of the Churchill river at Hudson
Bay post. The. entire nearby viii
lage of an Eskimo settlement has
come over to cape and wonder at
our monster bird of the air.

tral Chinese government in Nankine
and the Japanese Kwantung army
massed today.
Chang worked desperately for an
agreement with south China leaders
which would assure their full sup
port if he is forced to resort to arms
in the north, while the Jap-nese
consolidated their military positions
south of the Great Wall and aSsum-
ed virtually full control of the
Peiping and Tientsin regions as well
as the demilitarized zone slightly to
the north.
1t was apparent the Kwantung
army, for the time, was giving
full support to the eastern Hopei
AutOnomist government establish
ed by Yin JuKeng. Yin had seiz-
ed all revenue of the former de-
militarized zone and was recruit
ing troops, who will be trained by
Japanese advisers, at TugchOw-
his capital" near Peiping.
Japanese patrols were advancing
southwark towards the Yellow river
and establishing advance posts. They
carried field telephones and radio
equipment similar to that used in
the occupation of Jehoi.
Railway traffic between points
north of the Yellow river and the
Yangtse river valley towns, in Nam
king controlled territory, virtually
had stopped because Of the Japa-
nese order that no rolling stock
could go south unless an equal
amount moved north.
Military and political leaders from
the far southern provinces, includ-
ing the war-like district of KWangsi,
were comforting with Chang in
Nanking and it was believed Chang
would yield 10 their demands for
extensive concessions in return for
their support of a strong anti
Japanese stand.

$4,000 Damage
Reported at

Offices of the Imperial Valley
Milling company of Holtville, which
was destroyed in a $4,000 fire of
undetermined origin Thursday
morning, are being reopened to-
day in temporary quarters in a
warehouse building belonging to the
firm at the corner of Fifth and
Orange streets, Holtville. Grain
now stored in the warehouse will
be moved to make room for the
offices for which staple supplies
were ordered yesterday.
While an insurance adjustor is
now checking the damage, C. P,
Denny, who purchased the COM
pany last January, has been un-
able to determine the extent to
which the loss was covered by in
surance because gases created by
the blaze have so far prevented res
cue of the safe containing records.
The belief was expressed today
that Homer H. Davenport, owner
of the razed building will rebuild.
If not, Denny plans to secure other
quarters for the milling concern in
the near future.
The building, one of the oldest in
Holtville, was completely filled With
miled products, in addition to ma
ohinery. No storage of grain own
ed by farmers of the region was in
the building, however, and was
safe in another warehouse.
