AMERICA WARNED AGAINST
UNNECESSARY WAR WITH JAPS

Action for Them

Great Britain. Therefore Great
Britain should take the lead in
any action. Otherwise resentment
of the Japanese might be turned
against the United States, he ex-
planned.
Stoddard explained he pre-
ferred to let Japan's energies turn
twoard Asiatic expansion, even If
it might mean eventually the sub
lection of China, rather than
preventive" and unnecessary war
now.
II think the japanese are going

or whatever gets in their way is
going to get hit. I don't see why
we should risk a war trying to
save future markets or minor con-
cessions now.
"The Japanese are going to
have their hands full Of problems
if they are allowed a free hand
to expand Manchukuo, Mongolia

OPENING
ON WEDNESDAY,
Churches Here to Observe
It; Easter Falls on April
Il This Year

Lent, the period lying between
Ash Wednesday and Easter, and
observed in the religious calendar
of several churches, will open on
Wednesday, March 6, and con-
clude on April 81. Although there
are 46 days in the interim of
Ash Wednesday and Easter, there
are only 40 days of Lent. The
reason for this is that only week
days belong to Lent, and the Sun
days, termed Sundays in Lent,
are invariably feast days.
The original meaning of the
word Lent was spring time, or
sowing time. To those who do not
keep it, and to many who do, it
ordinarily is associated with the
idea of giving up something, as a
matter of self discipline. But Lent
is more than this, in that it car
ries with it an idea of beginning
something, and is a constructive
period for the individual in his
religious life. Those who adhere
more strictly to Lend find it a
season of special instruction, self
examination, and for a revival of
interest within the church IN
Christianity.
Today, the day preceding Ash
Wednesday, is known as Shrove
Tuesday. In the old English
church it was a day for confess
sion The members having been
shriven and in view of the strict
period following, they were given
a holiday and recreation before
the actual beginning of Lent, with

kinds were engaged in. Cock hight

allowed. In New Orleans, Mardl

F. R. CARRYING
PRESIDENTIAL
BURDEN WELL
Energetic as Third Year
Entered; a Little Grayer,
More Wrinkled
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Mar. 5. (UP).
President Roosevelt Monday be-
gan his third year in the highest
office a democracy can offer by
working eight hours at his desk
and then relaxing at formal DIM

A little grayer, a little more

the New Deal into its third year.
He conferred with Federal Re-

the administration with the S4,-

of a furious senate rebellion over
the prevailing wage amendment.
Hopkins was called back to the
capital from a mid-western speak
ing tour in which he was expected
to muster popular support behind
the White House in its fight with
labor over the wage amendment.
His sudden return was interpret
ed by proponents OF the wage pro-
posal as an indication that the ad-
ministrator had found sentiment
on this issue cool in the midwest.
Labor has built up big back-hre
to counterfeit pressure on sena-
tors from back home.
The president then sent to con-
gress a message asking for a mer-
chant marine subsidy to protece.

appropriations committee into con-
ference.
Meantime, thousands of mes,

DENIES ABUSE OR
QUARREL WITH WIFE

PINEHURST, March 5.-(UP)
H. Bradley Davidson today told a
coroner's jury of his love for his
heiress wife, Elma Statler David
son, who died under puzzling cir
cumstances in a garage at their
resort home. He denied they had
quarreled or he had been abusive

Bradley was the first witness
called and was questioned sharply
by Solicitor Rowland Pruette.
The inquest was called in an
attempt to determine whether her
death in a garage, after she and
her husband and others returned
late from a dinner party, was &C
cident, murder, or suicide.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 5. (UP).
The administration work relief

snarl today and given a fresh start
before the senat appropriations
committee. 1t was learned that
the administration is prepared to
make concessions regarding this

Telephone and telegraph COM
