CANTON FIRM FOR WAR.

CANTON China, June 8 Gp).-The
Canton South Chinese government
has decided to send an army against
Japan in North China with or with
out assistance from the Central
(Nanking) government, Gen. Lii
Chung-jen asserted today.
Gen. Lii commander in chief Of
the Kwangsi forces. urged officers and
men throughout the republic to shed
blood freely for the cause of anti
Japanese national salvation"
His statement was supported by
Lo Wen-kan. former foreign minis
ter of the Marking government. who
declared resistance is the only way
to deal with Japan's invasive aggres-
sion"
Foreign observers in Canton viewed
the situation gravely. Some believed
the South governments financial sit
uation is SO serious the military Of
ficials seized the occasion to appeal
to the people for more funds on the
pretense Japan is threatening the
nations existence.

Others expressed the view that
Canton, with 10000 well-trained and
well-equipped troops and more than
100 modern airplanes holds the re-
public's faith in its hands.
officials began new precautions
against air attacks, taking control Of
city light plants and instituting meas
ureS to guard the public against raids.
Particular plans were considered to
assure adequate food supplies in event
of siege.
AS active and wholehearted allies
of Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek at
Nanking, these independent southern
militaristS could make it possible for
China to show at least some resistance
against Japan, the foreign commenta-
tors asserted.
Lords Hate Gen. Chang.
As aloof critics of the northern over
lord, however, they remain ever ready
to turn any of Gen. Chiang's mistakes
to their own political or financial ad-
vantage making it impossible for the
Nanking officials to give their undi-

tory.
The Kwangsi generals are Chiang's
most inveterate personal enemies.
Their participation in the Nationalist
revolt led to their defeat by Chang
and their forceful retirement to the
southern provinces In consequence,
although restored to their high posi-
tions in the party and pardoned by
Marking, they refused to cooperate
in any way with the northern general
iSsimo.
Students at Sun Yat-Sen University
today organized the National Saliva
ton Big Sword Corps" to participate
in the Canton governments anti.
Japanese campaign.
Eight types Of big swords were de-
signed for members Of the corps, who
have received their training from
the well-known Chinese pugilist, Fu
Chang-Sun.

the other candidates nearly frantic The Knox
and Borah camps find common ground in hurling
varied and sometimes conflicting charges against
the Kansan. They range from saying he is the
choice of the old guard to accusing him of being
a New Dealer.
Others skirmishing in the drive to block him
are the erstwhile important politicians who are
on uninstructed delegations, and who like nothing
less than to see uninstructed delegates actually
make up their own minds. How they miss the

who plays the field instead of
confining himself to one affair of the
heart at time.
He is fond Of two girls named
Nancy and Ruth. Though the girls, of
course, do not know each other, they
live in the same locality and their
telephones are listed in the same
exchange.
So. the swain, who wished to speak
to Ruth, accidentally dialed Nancy's
number and when she answered, he
failed to recognize her voice and
asked to speak to Ruth. That finished
him with Nancy.
Then he got the number right and
called Ruth. Still thinking of his
blunder as something quite funny, he
confessed to Ruth. She couldn't see
the joke at. all, so now he's looking
for new friends.

FOR two days Attorney Tommy
David maneuvered before a jury
in Police Court to untangle his client
from the tolls of the law on drunken
driving charge. Desperately he
fought to prevent damaging sdmis-
sions by his client. Finally the case
went to the jury and Tommy walked
the corridors, swelled with a sense of
a job well done. but just waiting for
the guilty verdict. The best he could
expect, he told fellow attorneys, was
to ask for mercy Of the court.
A bondSman and newspaper man,
listening to the wailing, offered to bet
a lunch the verdict would be not
guilty. Five minutes later the jury
came in with jury verdict of not
guilty. Tommy agreed to buy the
lunches as soon as he collected his
fee.
After talking with his client. he re-
turned to his debtors with announce
ment that there would be no eating
until the bonus is paid. The client
nor his wife could dig up enough
money even to pay the wager, ex-
planning they expected to pay the fee
when Uncle Sam pays OF the bonus.

Close Advisor of President Says Administration Will

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-A close advisor of President Roosevelt says the Administration will avoid pro- posals for. amending the Consti- tuition during the coming cam paign, but will seek to accomplish New Deal purposes within the language of the majority of the opinions of the Supreme Court"
 Proposals to limit the Courts power over constitutional questions. change the court itself or broaden the stated power of Congress by constitutional m d m ent. have been definitely shelved, the advisor said.
 We are not trying, as some of our opponents judge, to avoid the Constitution, but rather to meet the requirements of the majority of the court as they interpret the Constitution. We don't believe all efforts in that direction have been exhausted" the official, who de- clined to be quoted by name, de- clared.

Unbeatable Hand In Solo Held By Dr. Jenne

That pipe dream of every man who plays with unmarked cards - the unbeatable hand awarded Dr. c. P.

 In a game where tens rank next to aces, with kings follow ing, a hand like that is tops; and Dr. Jenne's fellow players -G. H. Walmsley, G. F. Free burger, and l.. E. Ivorsen-are still congratulating him on the achievement, the counterpart of which is unknown in the thirty years in which the Faro Five have been conducting their nocn-hcur play in the Elks' Club.
 Dr. Jenne won the game.
