The committee of % nations there

Foreign Minister William hunters OF
Latvia, ordered drafting of a resolu-

DR.. Wellington Koo. Chinas lead

to point out Japan as the wrong doer
to the world" and asked that the COM

enforce international law and prin-

committee that he ordered the recess
in order that a resolution might be
prepared Immediately.
England led the move for immedi-

Yvon Delbos, quickly seconded.
IF we close our eyes we would be
guilty of failing in our duty" Delbos
said.
The Swedish delegate warmly sup
ported the views of Britain and
France. while Foreign Minister Maxim
Litvinoff, Russian delegate, said the
committee should condemn some
other forms of attack from which
China now suffers as well as air bonn

Although the Japanese are not
represented on the committee, hav-

LONDON, September ~ (P).-The
famous Lutine bell at Lloyds rang to-
day for the second time within week
to announce finding of the British
yacht Endeavour I, unsuccessful chal-
lenger in 1894 for the Americas Cup.
The Endeavour I, with her crew OF
10, was reported sighted today 260
miles of the Irish coast by the Brit
ish steamer Cheyenne.
The Cheyenne's master. Capt. AL
cock, wirelessed the Associated Press
he had contact wit. the Endeavour
and heard that all the crew were we'll
Text of Message.
His wireless message said:
I'VE sighted the Endeavour about
10 miles away and recognized her rig
We altered our course to close the gap
between us.
when We arrived at the proper dis
tance we first signaled with flags and
then with our semaphore. We told the
Endeavour of the concern for her
safety In our first message.
"She asked us to report she was last
seen making about knots on a
course somewhat to the southwark
of east in latitude ~ NJ, longitude
1920 w."
Charles Nicholson, designer of the
Endeavour, expressed delight over the
yachts safety. He declared the craft
would make about knots under her
jury rig, and that her position indi-
Gated she had had a lot of fair
weather.
Shortly afterwards Lloyds was ad-
vised by radio from Valentia, Irish
communications center, that the
Cheyenne had sighted the Endeavour L.
Lutine Bell Rung.
The famous insurance house there
upon again rang the Lutine bell to
announce the finding of the yacht.
The first report, from the Azores last
week, had proved erroneous. but
Lloyds felt certain that the latest one
was true.
News that the Cheyenne had found
the ship was greeted with great en-
thusiasm in London. This enthusiasm
was undiminished by the fact that the
similar, though less definite report
from the Azores, also had caused hopes
to rise and then to fall.
The Endeavour was lost when she
broke away from her convoy, the Viva
II, during storm 200 miles out in the
Atlantic while en- route from Newport
r. l., back to England.
At the village of Tollesbury, home of
Capt. Ned Heard and six members OF
the crew, there was excited rejoicing.
Capt. Heard's wife, heartbroken
when the earlier report the yacht had
been sighted on the Azores was found
in error, again was excited and happy.
She has both son and husband
aboard.
We know Ned Heard and his son
and the other members Of the crew

The Soviet note. delivered in Toxic
yesterday. was considered by respon-
sible circles to be a direct response
to China's plea for assistance.
The Soviet government defied
Japan to bomb its Embassy in Nam

The note declared officials of the
Soviet Embassy had been instructed
to remain at their posts and warned
the Japanese government it would be
held fully responsible for any damage
or injury from bombardment of the
Embassy in Marking.
Japanese Warning Cited.
Soviet officials said that Japan had
notified Russia that Chinese were
planning to draw Russia into the con-
hict by falsely marking their planes
to represent japanese craft and then
bombing the Soviet Embassy.
This japanese report, officials fiat

Russia told Japan she would be held
completely responsible for any at

The note rejected the Japanese
suggestion that Soviet officials and
Soviet citizens evacuate Marking as
unlawful, contrary to generally
recognized principles of international
law" and unprecedented in the his
tory of international relations"

Radiant Living
BLIND TO
SCENERY
BY Rev. @. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
SudlersviIle, Md.

Some peoplpe who live in the
mountains never see any scenery.
They have become 50 accustomed
to the beauty that is about them
that they are no longer conscious
of it.
There are other people who are
very similar to them. These are
those who have become so accus-
toned to enjoying every day the
good things that surround them
that they have lost the sense of ap-
probation of the good that is en-
riching their lives.
Stop a moment right where you
are sitting and open your eyes, to
the multitude of good things in
your life, to the beauties of nature
that surround you, to the blessings
that are in your home, to the prec-
ious values of your family, and to
the golden opportunities that await
you in life!
Some of these people who can
not see the good that surrounds
them are always in a dissatisfied
state of mind. They are dissatis-
fed with the position they hold.
They are dissatisfied with the town
in which they reside. They are
dissatisfied with the home in which
they live.
1t is this very dissatisfied atti-
tude of mind that is binding them,
preventing them from seeing how
much better off they are than
countless others. 1t is binding
their eyes from seeing how to enter
upon a still larger measure of good.
If you feel dissatisfied, stop and
count your blessings. Take an in
ventory of the good with which
you are blessed and you will find
that it will bring to you a changed
attitude of mind, from dissatisfac-
ton to appreciation.
And with appreciation there will
come an increase of good things
into your life.
Open your eyes to see the sur
rounding scenery of the good.

eral Land Bank of Baltimore and
the land bank Commissioner from
January 1 to June 80, 1887, it is
estimated that S38, 1885 was used to
refinance Indebtedness, w. Har-
man Money, secretary-treasurer of
the New Castle County National
Farm Loan Association, Middle
town, announced today. OF this
amount spent for refinancing, $18,-
373 went to commercial banks, and

of mortgages and other credit in
struments they were paid S20,470.
The purchase of land accounted for
$24,020 of the total loaned and ST.

tural improvements, he said. In
the entire Baltimore district, ex-
cepting Puerto Rico, 81, ,857, 90 was

at higher interest rates and on less
convenient terms. Under the pro-
visions of the Act of Congress
