- HANGHAI- Why don't the
- Chinese fight japan?
Why have they permitted
~ the North China aggrandize-
ment by japanese militarists without
q struggle?
Such questions as these have been
on many lips during the last four
weeks. There are many partial an
swers.
Although China may be said to
have more soldiers under arms-of
one sort or another-than any nation
on the globe-she lacks sufficient mu-
nitions and, at present, sufficiently
large unified, disciplined, loyal fight
| ing army to make her by any stretch
| Of Imagination a match for Japan.
To put it otherwise, China is full
of armies. She still lacks a modern
efficient army.
Rivalries Sap Vitality.
With all the progress that came
about during the last few years, no.
tably the last year, toward a greater
degree of national unity, nationaliSm
and unity remained in embryo.
China's vitality still was sapped by
provincial rivalries and rivalries
among militariSts. This danger has
materially increased since Spring.
Moreover, large forces under the di-
rect or indirect command of Gen.
/ Chang Kai-shek still are engaged in
the anti-Communist campaign of the
| West.
| II the National government were to
stake its existence upon a desperate
| struggle with Japan-a struggle
which, barring Western support for
Cathay, would at best be an i'm
mensely one-sided war against the
compact, mechanical. incomparably
superior fighting forces of Japan
there would be fears not only of ter
rifle disaster at the hands of Japan,
but rebellion at home Perhaps the
militariStS of the nation would forget
their differences and pull together;
there hardly could be certainty of
that in advance.
Time Not Ripe for Fighting.
Moreover. the deep economic de-
preston of the moment. the cur
rency crisis, the financial plight of
the nation, in which Numerous banks
have failed during recent weeks, make
the present more than commonly in
opportune for fighting.
And yet, despite all such reasons
what has happened here during tht
past Notwithstanding the exodus o.
central government troops and thosI

Hopei Province in accordance witt

GUEST PASSENGER GIVEN $500 AWARD
Judge Finds Speed of Car Unreasonable -COlli-
 son Resulted

7 George Minfcucci of this city is awarded damages of $500 and costs in a decision today of Judge Miles F. McNiff, of the common pleas court, on guest statute case. The award is against Nich- olas Lombard. in whose car Mini cucci was injured, March II, 1893 on Hamilton avenue.
 Judge McNiff states: "The youth full driver of the Lombard car, An tonic Lombard, was operating the machine at an unreasonable rate of speed even for Hamilton avenue. While speed alone may not be suf- ficient to bring this case within the guest statute, there is the addition al element of failure to keep a proper lookout, both of which com bined are ample to prove the heed less and reckless disregard of the right of others as meant by the statutes"
 The plaintiff was riding in the rear seat of the defendants Packard sedan when it was being driven out Hamilton avenue. The sedan crashed into another car which was turning around on the avenue and the plaintiff was tossed around in the rear of the sedan. He suffered injuries to his spine and was rendered unconscious, the complaint said. Attorney J. C.. Guilfoile appeared for the plaintiff. Mascolo, Mcknight & Dauch rep resented the defendant.

Specifications have been strictly adhered to in erecting the Town Hall," or main exposition at Set tiers Village in Chase Park. The structure is practically finished and Superintendent Jack Betts is now directing his men in the last oper- ations of providing 12 booths for dustrial exhibits.
 The "Town Halp' is a huge building and will accommodate hundreds of visitors at one time. Six booths will be found at each end of the exposition hall, the cen- ter being devoted to a sort of atrium or reception room, where friends can stand around to chat. The immense structure can be seen for miles and has already invited the attention of thousands of sight seers.
 There is every indication that special traffic officers will have to be assigned to duty on Chase Park way when Settlers Village is ready for inspection. in order to keep traffic on the ribbon-like roadway moving. No parking will be per- mitted on the parkway. Motorists and their friends wishing to in- spect the settlements unique feat ures will be obliged to utilize the parking facilities provided by the corporation in charge of the ex- position.

Keen Public Interest
 In Nurses Campaign
Tuesday to Witness Opening With $5,0OO Set as Goal; City Awakening to Splendid Work of Organization

A series of articles written of the Visiting Nurse stan and designed to I lustrate the value of the work don by the organization Is being pre sented each day in The Derhocra The membership drive for $500 will be launched next Tuesday b Ehe association and will continu Tor one week. Following is tc iay's story:
 When the visiting nurse made her first contact, Mrs A-was expecting her fifth baby. She had, however, made no plans for the coming baby and had no medical care. Her 2 husband was . part-time FEE RIA worker, and Mrs A was discouraged about every thing in life in gcnertl. Left to her. self, just anything could have happened.
 The VIVA nurse got busy. first, she saw to 1t that the expectant mother got to the dispcnsary for 8 physical examination. The doctor con- flr1ned the necessity for con- tinued health supervision, and in particular stressed the need for an adequate diet.
 The nurse made another wise it to see if the directions of the doctor were being carried out. She was not much surprised to find that they were not. The mother was not resting she was too much worried over her financial situation. She could not carry out the diet recommendations - she simply did not possess the means.
 Hospital arrangements for delivery were first made, to rleieve the mothers mind. Material for baby clothes were also arranged for by the nurse. After many trips to other soc cial agencies, like the public welfare department and the E ELhA OluCcSs hUulCAOAAdA aFts icles for the diet were pr0- cured. The VIVA nutritionist was consulted and made a home visit to Mrs A in order to help her with her food planning. A VIVA volunteer worker provided motor trans- portation to take the patient to the dispensary regularly.
 The nurse meanwhile, made frequent visits to Mrs As home and found her alarmingly high blood pressure rate grad ually falling, her attitude tO- ward life revolutionized and the other children being prop erly cared for now that their mother was her old self again. She is confidentaly planning for delivery and the family is also happily anticipating the new baby.

The boost in the call money

losses running to around 2 points
were pared. The bullish imph-
cation, however, was tempered
by the knowledge that the banks
were lifting money charges to
secure some return on their
funds after record low rates for
months and was not due to any
important enlarged demand for
money.
Electrical equipments were the
