Incentives Merely Help

No incentives that can secure con-
tinual right-doing should be de-
spised; for it is only as the life and
character become exalted that ex-
allied motives become possible. On
the other hand, we should ever
regard lower motives as the steps
of a ladder by which we mount to
some eminence, each one of which,
useful and necessary in its turn, is
gladly left for the one above it.

into this harbor today.
The President Hoover was on her
way to Shanghai Monday when

OF her interior, killed Mess Steward
Lloyd Haskell of Baltimore, Md, and
wounded Passengers and seamen.

dered her to turn about and cross the
China Sea to Japan rather than risk
the danger of other attacks.
George w. Yardley, commander OF
the 2l,900-ton liner, said one of the
Chinese planes loosed its bombs from
q height no more than $50 feet
He must have thought we were
Japanese boat" Yardley said, al
though it is difficult to understand,
considering the proximity Of the plane.
THE President Hoover was riding
at anchor. 1t was tea time, and the
majority Of the passengers were on
deck, some looking through telescopes
toward the coast
They saw the plane approaching.
It circled over the President Hoover
twice and then, without warning
dropped the first bomb from height
Of no more than $50 feet.
The first and second bombs missed
But the third struck.
Following the explosion, the plane
ascended and dropped a fourth. which
also missed. There was terrificc eX-

heavily and her clocks stopped.
Heavy damage was done to her
tunnels, boat deck and nine first-class
cabins.

The Nevada Democrat. for many
years a student Of Oriental problems,
said he foresaw three possible de-
velopments in the Sino-Japanese con-
fiict.
One possibility, he said. was that
China might capitulate to Japan's
demands: second that the Chinese
might continue resistance and perhaps
be excluded eventually from their sea-
port cities with a condition Of war

by attacks on the seaport towns held

In the Shanghai-Nanking area
Chinese were estimated to have con-

Opposed to these Japan was believed

ships in the Yangtze.
In the absence of any ships flying
their own flag, 38 United States citi-
zens fled Shanghai today aboard the
japanese liner Nagasaki Maru for
Japan under the escort of a japanese

The question of providing naval
escorts to guarantee the safe passage
of refugee ships was brought to the
fore by the bombardment Monday of
the liner President Hoover by Chinese
war planes.
The Hoover, flagship of the Dollar
Line, was en- route to Shanghai to
pick up refugees. Admiral Yarnell,
however, Immediately ordered her to
pass up the war-stricken city and
