Copyright, 1886, United Press)

TOKYO, March 81. (UP)-The
tense situation between Japan and
Soviet Russia in the mo mars
land" between western Manchu-
kuo and outer Mongolia, was fur
Their complicated today by the re-
ported seizure of three japanese
military agents by Mongol-Sovier
troops.
The agents, a Manchu and two
Koreans, were sent into the dis
puted territory at a point north
of Lake Hanka to confer with the
Soviet officers commanding Mon
gOl forces in the region. They
had not returned today and it was
believed they were held by the
Russo-Mongol troops who hoped
to gain information from them
about the strength of Manchu-
Japanese forces.
Meantime, the acute border dis
pute, in which Japan is support
ing Manchukuo and Russia Outer
Mongolia, was developing into a
major controversy.
HEADQUARTERS of the Japanese
Kwantung army in Hsinking, cap
ital of Manchukuo, announced
that two Soviet-Mongol airplanes
had dropped leaflets announcing
they were CLOSING the border" in
the region of Lake Boinor. Later
the planes bombed a Manchu-iap-
anese outpost, killing one soldier
and wounding four.
In Tokyo the spokesman for
the foreign office announced that
the Japanese army in Manchuria
was attempting to settle each Dor
der incident ION the spot" in local
negotiations between military rep
The Russians, how
ever, so far had rejected this pro-
cedure, asserting that each incl
dent must be referred to Moscow.

Isaac Beecher Clark

The death of Isaac Beecher Clark yes- terday removes from our local circle a man who was identified with the musical history of Waterbury over long period of years. His death came as a distinct shock to the city and state where he had wide reputation as musical conductor and choral leader. Through real love of music and great perseverance he made himself prominent figure in music circles. He had a dynamic personality and the happy faculty as well as keen musical perception to command large group of singers effectively, so that his results with large choral presentations were most successful.
 For about twenty-five years he was teacher of music at WeStover School in Middlebury and also taught at St. Mar garet's school Both he and Mrs. Clark were singers of note, MT. Clark singing bass and Mrs. Clark, contralto. While MT. Clark trained various musical groups and glee clubs, his outstanding work was directing large choral groups. No musical season was complete in Waterbury with out 8 splendid concert, either featuring one of the well known oratorios or a The one-time Waterbury Choral club spelled "Ike" Clark as he was familiarly known. He was also interested, outside : of music, in the general city affairs; and in the sports field was keen bowler. No doubt the kindly and genial disposition , that was Isaac Beecher Clark's will be 7 missed from our city's ranks of good :. .stalwart citizens.

New Haven Aroused

X The New Haven Taxpayers, Inc, is aroused over the fact that in collection
 of old age taxes the city as of May had failed to receive $100O00 of the total assessed. That's quite a large amount and if the city has already paid to Hart ford the old age tax bill, as other cities and towns in the state did in order to avoid the late penalty, 1t must have had to dig down into the city coffers to secure the needed assessment. And a $100,000 assessment is hard to find these days if the taxpayers haven't provided the swherewithall.
 Large cities probably will not show as good percentage of returns as the smaller communities, where a 100 per ~cent collection of the old age tax will not -be unusual. Still it is possible for large -city to secure it's necessary quota in this tax without being forced to resort to Unusual methods. Waterbury's record in scollecting this tax isn't complete, of -course. We are still after the delin- .quents. However, this city, when the due .date for the tax arrived, did not have to make up any such difference as $100, ,OO0. Y When a city like New Haven shows such "a large number of delinquentS as are represented by $100,000 (the tax is $3 per eligible person. there must be some -explanation of the situation. What it is we do not know. Surely it is not all due to the administration of the tax machin- cry. The complainant in the New Haven case points out a lot of faults and makes
 number of suggestions that would cut down the cost of administration. Prob ably that might help to some extent, but
 surely not to the extent of making up
 difference of .$100,000. Obviously the fault lies with the taxpayers, as it does in
 all such cases where efforts to collect
 duly-laid assessments fail.

Explosion or DeHation?

It could easily be said over the outcome of the Joe Louis-MaX Schmeling fight of last Friday night that here was myth exploded. But should we say 1t was not a myth exploded, but simply an ego de- Hated. That might be an injustice to Louis; still again it might be the logical explanation of the sudden and dramatic finale of that fistic encounter. There are plenty of Schmeling packers today who claim they backed their man right from the beginning. The only packers we heard and read about were in the Louis camp.
 No one gave the German fighter the slightest chance of defeating the Ameri- can. The question in the minds of most experts and fans was how soon would Louis flatten out his opponent on the canvas. Not once during the eleven rounds and two-odd minutes of the twelfth did Louis look down upon a re- cumbent foe. On the contrary he gazed up at Schmeling's teutonic countenance, slightly begrimed by vigorous pummel- ings, twice, the second time, we're afraid, with rather a sick apd woe-begone ex- pression.
 There can be no gainsaying the fact that Schmeling fought smashing, bone

Better than many a previous year is 1886 for the the vacationist who wants to see bit of America" says the magazine Time. Better times, better roads, lower rates, all conSpire to make domestic travel easier and more enjoyable than ever be- fore. Many an attraction does this land offer in its broad expanse: historic shrines, famous buildings, national parks, scenic narvels = not section of the country is there which does not have its own appeal, its own charm, it's own special lure. There's adventure to be found in America, and every state offers differ. ent, equally enjoyable kind."
 It's the truth, as every observant traveller knows. And there is going to be lot of travel thsi summer, possibly more than ever before.

Cone Tax

You can't keep America down. And as regards Young America, you can't put it down. The spirit that animated the revo- lutionary fathers still lives in successive generations of children, and breathes to- day regardless of depression or op- pression.
 Thus the children of northern Ken- lucky are in revolt. A patriotic call has gone out from youthful leader named Catherine Donovan of Covington, for them to resist the state tax on ice cream cones by every means within their power, until they have accomplished it's repeal. In their lives, cones take the place of tea. It requires little imagination to fancy them, in emulation of the famous Boston Tea Party, making demonstration in Covington or elsewhere in full Indian regalia, raiding the sota fountain and dumping all the ice ere. n cones into the street.
