Rope, Hair Onl y Clues
I'm Bizarre Mystery

MONTREAL, July IT Q.N.S0.
A strand of rope and wisps of
hair were woven today into the
fabric of mystery cloaking the
fate of youthful Elaine st. Pierre,
beautiful niece of Montrears chief
of detectives.
The rope was around the neck
of Henri Emile Fissiault, once
charged with Staying the missing
girl.
The hair was tightly gripped be-
tween clenched teeth of the Fis-
siault corpse, hanging by clothes
line looped over a Waterpipe in
the home of Hector Beaupre, presi-
dent of a local cement manufac-
turing concern.
FiSsiault was known to have
been the girls escort on an auto
mobile ride last November 3.
Several days later, protesting igno-
rance of Elaine's whereabouts, Fis-
Siault appeared alone. At the
time, he claimed to be a victim of
amnesia induced, he said, by heavy
drinking.

his old job with the cement firm.

siault in charge of the Beaupre

rails to Japan and China, in the

the topics discussed. 1t was en-
phasized, however, that no such

plated.
The United States today as
sumed the role Of unofficial"
peacemaker in the Sino-Japanese
crisis.
Secretary Hull, in a fortnight
pronunciation OF, American foreign
policy, which he said was of uni
versal application" wherever
there may be a threat Of war in
the world, warned japan and
China against an outbreak OF
widespread hostilities.
Hull put both Japan and China
on notice that the rights and In
terestS Of the United States and
"all nations are, or may be, Ser1-
ously affected"
CIGeS N1uS-EOWeE 4EcaSy
His statement, while not ad-
dressed formally to either Of the
Far Eastern powers, in effect
bluntly called Japan's attention
to the agreement of world powers
under the Nine-Power Treaty Of
1922 to respect the sovereignty,
independence, territorial and ad-
ministrative integrity Of China.
Hull said:
1--WE (the United States ad-
vOcate abstinence by all nations
from use of force in pursuit Of
policy, and from interference in
the internal affairs of other
nations.
1--WE advocate faithful ObserV.
ance of international agree

His declaration followed a con.
ference with Far Eastern experts
of the State Department and long
talks with the Chinese ambaSSa-
dor and the japanese charge
d'affaires.
Arbitration Urged
Hull set forth a new 14-point
declaration of American foreign
policy in which he called for the
exercise of international Self-re-
straint, the use of peaceful means
of arbitrating differences between
nations, observance of the sane
tity Of treaties and agreements,
and abstinence from interference
in the internal affairs Of other ma
tionS.
Beyond this warning, the United
States it was learned, contem-
plates no other immediate step. 1t
is still impossible for United States
officials to learn just what is hap
pening in China. Both China and
Japan assert the other is the ag-
gressor and President Roosevelt,
Hull and their advisers do not
want to take any step which
might complicate the situation.
