opinion that "an expanded puple library would be of much Dene1lt to the community and would work so much good for the young people. Summing up her own opinion and that of the club, Mrs. Jenne de- clared that a well-located public library would keep the young peo- pie "out of the only places of as sembly now open to them-the public beer halls"
 Compromise Offered
 MT. Dishaw acting in behalf of .he Uptown Investment Company offered a compromise in which the Womens Club drop it's option ln favor of the company-the company afterward to remodel the upstairs of the building into public library, this to be rented to the city at the same price offered them by the women's club. This, he said, should make no difference to the city and 
 would have a great bearing upon the fortunes of the investment company.
 Asked by Mayor Goldstein if the members in the new company were the same as those of the old, MT. Dishaw stated that, except for two new investors, all stockholders in the Uptown Investment Company had held stock in the old organiza- tion. Under further questioning, he said that many of the smaller stockholders had not reentered, but that, when the concern was actu- ally in running condition, they would be given first privilege to buy into the business.
 Absence of City Attorney H. L. Faulkner. due to the fishing case, made presentation of legal author ity on the subject impossible, and the matter was laid before the Council by Mayor Goldstein with the injunction that, We want a public library-it's one of the things I've been fighting for-but we want to keep out of lawsuits"
 Special Meeting
 The suggestion of Councilman Wallis s. George, that 8, special meeting be called for this evening in which the matter of real or personal property and obligation in the leasing of such could be set tied by legal opinion, was adopted unanimously, with indication that, should the women's club cla i m s prove valid, preference would be given its option over the claims of the Uptown Investment Com pany.
 Following telephone conference with Gov John w. Troy in which the meeting between Attorneys Faulkner and Truitt was arranged the time of the meeting was set at o'clock, with all interested par ties asked to be present.

deep inroads into German territory,
and has led many experts to believe
that the practical value of France
assistance to her associates in Central
and Eastern Europe is about to be re-
duced, II not wiped out. But other
experts-and the highest leaders Of the
French Army are reported to share in
their opinion-insist that, even under
the new circumstances, they will be
able to keep the major portion Of the
German forces busy, and that the al
lies will be relieved and helped to q

In the Mediterranean, the antagon-
ism between Italy and England, an
aftermath Of the Abyssinian war,

the British and French fleets could in

But, hemmed in between the prog
ress Of pangermanism in the Danubian
countries and the speedy strengthening
of the British position in the Medi-
terranean - especially through her
close cooperation with, Turkey-the
Fascist government can hardly expect
OF follow an independent line very

have to seek for some bargain in Lon

government is likely TO secure the good
will Of Soviet Russia, and the Yugo-
slavs and Greeks are normally in SYM
pathy with it.
To Withstand such q coalition,
Benito Mussolini and his advisers
would have to plunge very deeply into
the embrace of the Hitlerian Reich.
With such an inveterate gambler as
the Duce, no prediction can certainly
be made about the forthcoming moves
of Italian diplomacy. But there are
risks that not even he would be likely
to take.
Against those two adverse elements
the fertilization of the Rhineland
and the uncertainty in the Mediter-
ranean-must be set forth the process
Of military expansion now discernible
in France, Great Britain, Soviet
Russia. Yugoslavia. Czechoslovakia and
Rumania. The socialist government
of Mr.. Blum, impressed by the peril
of peace, has recently appropriated no
less than $4,000 900 900 francs for the
extension and consolidation Of the
'Maginot" fortified line and for the
improvement of field artillery, and has

for improving the air force. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that after the full
fllment of these plans, there will not
be much to be added to the French
armory.
AS to the British rearmament-it is
being theoretically conducted as re-

Joliet Is Depending
On Electric Eyes,

JOLIET, Ill. P.-Since the day two
guards politely opened the gates OF
Joliet Prison permitting Convict Henry
Midget" Ferneke to walk out posing
as visitor the State of Illinois has
spent more than $4,000 to make the
place more fool-proof.
Ferneke, accused Of five gun slay-
ings, was captured in Chicago shortly
after his successful ruse and he
committed suicide before they could
return him to Joliet, but the ease Of his
escape moved the State to make i'm
provements.
Electric eyes," designed to detect
metal upon q person, new fences
around the prison entrance and
changes in the guard system are the
major improvements.
Fernekes trick cannot be duplicated
Warden Raglan says, because q new
double registry system has been in
stalled.
All visitors have to register when
they enter and leave the prison. They
have to record their name, address
and the name Of the prisoner they
are visiting. The handwriting and In.
formation must tally in each Instance

Chinese Reds, Setting Up Republic,
Are Seeking to Extend Influence

nese Reds have won over Tbetan
lamaS (priests) who control the
affairs Of the more remote areas Of
Sikong by offering them posts in the
Golden Sand River Peoples Republic.
Having established their authority in
Northeastern Sikong, the Reds now
are casting their eyes on Baan, capi-
tai of the Sikon provisional provincial
administration. GarriSoned by a
mixed Tibetan and Chinese force of
only $500 men, who have never shown
any great aptitude for fighting, except
among themselves. the capital is not
expected to be able to Withstand
siege by Hsio Keh's Reds.
Direct Approach Threatened.
With Baan in the hands Of Com
munist forces, China proper would be
cut off from direct land approach to
Inner Tibet. This would work no
great hardship on either Chinese or
Tibetans, but it would increase greatly
the difficulties in the way Of the
Panchen lama's long deferred return
to Lhasa, unless the spiritual pontiff
of Tibetan Buddhism chose to follow
the example Of several Of the lesser
Tibetan religious dignitaries and como
to terms with the Communists.

China Is Reclaiming
Vast Flood Lands

claimed from lake and marsh, or won

lasting victories in her 4,00o-year war

The great flood Of 1881, and famine
that followed, cost China hundreds of

cheering skill from abroad modified

alternated for centuries to make hui

600 acres Of land have now been irri-

restored to farmers, and so protected
by bikes and drainage canals that SER

the canals are kept free and the bikes

For inspiration and TECHNICAL as

which has waged and won its fight
