The three men were hit during
the morning when stray shell,
possibly from a trench mortar,
crashed into the British barracks
in the Jessfeld area.
Another of the British soldiers
wounded last week, allegedly by
Japanese shells, died Sunday,
bringing Britain's military casual,
ties to five killed and II wounded
during the week.
Tension along the fighting front,
where the British are occupying a
defense line on the very edge OF
the roaring battle area, was so
acute that the British abandoned
some of their outposts. They also
shifted embittered units of the
ROYAL Ulster Rifles regiment for
fear the men would attack the
japanese and precipitate an Ang-
lo-Japanese battle. ,
British accused the japanese of
firing wilfully towards the Anglo
American area of the settlement
despite their obligation to respect
its neutrality.
Japanese in turn accused the
British of giving open assistance
10 the huge Chinese armies which
they are attempting to drive from
tho y;cirity IF Shanghai. They as
serted the British openly had vio-
lated their pledge not to permit
armed Chinese forces to seek ref

PEACE CALLS FOR
CHOPPING UP CHINA

Continued from page one)
Italian foreign minister, to remain
away from the Far Eastern con-
ference in Brussels convinced
many important French diplomats
last night that Italy is preparing
to announce her adherence to
the German-Japanese pact against
communism.
They said that Premier Benito
Mussolini undoubtedly subscribed
to the pact-aimed directly at So
Wet Russia-during the recent
visit to Rome of Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, German ambassador to
London who negotiated the pact
with Tokyo.
1t was believed here that Italy's
adhesion probably would be for
mally announced simultaneously
with signature of the agreement
by Viano, Won RibDcntropp and
the Japanese ambassador to Rome
as a three-power front to defend
civilization and humanity against
communism
(The Italian foreign office, COM
menting upon japanese reports
that Italy has agreed to join the
German-JapaneSe pact, said there
had been no such action thus
far" indicating that such step
might be cOntemplated.)
The French government was
deeply concerned over ltaly's re-
ported readiness to join the anti
communist front because such a
move would directly tie in Japan
with the ROme-Berlin axis which
is Frances chief problcm-in Mo-
rocco. Spain, Algeria, Libya, Tunl-
STA. and Syria.
1t also would mean, French OBJ
servers said, that Tokyo would be
bound to Rome and Berlin when

Germany's colonial claims. Tins
would be highly important because

HUNGARIAN RAIL
EXECUTIVE AMAZED
BY HIS VISIT TO U. S.

NEW YORK, Nov. /. (UP).-
DR.. Otto Sem, president of the
Hungarian government railways,
has arrived on a visit to the Uni
ted States to study American rail-
way technique first hand.
Guided by railway officials,
the European executive has been
specially impressed, he said, by
the extent and organization OF
American underground terminals,
the frequency and precision Of
train service, the number of
tracks, air conditioning, the clean
illness of railroad terminals and
the surprising comfort of railway
coaches.
1t is impossible to make COM
parison between American and
European railways, Sem said,
since the wealth of the systems
an dthc volume of travel are rela-
lively much greater in the United
States.
In explaining Hungarian rail
road technique, Sem pointed out
several original features. The
conductors on international trains
in Hungary speak several lam
guages. The names of important
Hungarian railroad stations are
inscribed in neon lights. Tourists,
on crossing the borders, are met
by official "greeters" much as in
wetsern American cities. All visas
on American passports have been
eliminated to facilitate travel,
and every effort is made to please
the foreign visitor and smooth
his journey, according to DR..
Sem.

LILLE. France, Nov. |. (UP)
The Radical Socialist Party con-
gresS, representing the controlling
force of the Popular Front gov
eminent, yesterday rejected Ger
many's bid for return of her war
lost colonies but asked that an in
ternational conference be con-
vened to provide a redistribution

The congress, in one of a series
of resolutions bringing the meet
ing to a clase. said lit seems in
conceivable and moreover useless
to accept even an hypothesis of
a redistribution of the colonial
mandates"
1t suggested, however, that the
government of Premier Camille
Chautcmps take the initiative in
calling an international confer
cnce to provide equal access to
raw materials for all nations"
The congress endorsed the pol
lev of Foreign Minister WON Del
hos who told the delegates that
France will strive for peace and
maintain her European commit
ments but will not be driven to
"abdication" of her ideals.
Delbos warned that France
would stand by C2echoSlovakia in
event the latter became involved
in a conflict with Germany and
said the French southern frontier
would be rcopencd for the benefit
of the Spanish loyalistS unless a
plan for withdrawal Of foreign

II Duce was said to have re-

1t became increasingly appar-
ent today that the bloody trou-
bles in Palestine are no longer a
Jewish-Arab conflict, although the
disorders are due in large part
to the British plan to divide the
Holy Land into sovereign Jewish
and Arab states.
Many observers said the trou-
bles were an open challenge to
British authority in the near east
and that, although Jews are being
attacked almost daily, the Arabs
appear to be building up an open
revolt which they hope will result
in election of British authority
from the Holy Land.

SUGAR CANE CROP
BEING HARVESTED

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. l. -
CUP).-Hymn-humming negroes
are flashing heavy, wicked-look-
ing matchetes in the sun. slash
ing at 5,000,000-ton sugar cane
crop.
Raw sugar mills have begun
turning their wheels to crush the
largest cane crop in Louisiana
history, into approximately 425,-
600 tons of raw sugar.
From more than 100000 acres
came the cane - estimated to
bring the farmer almost 81 ton
to fill the nations sugar bowl.
Planters in 10 Louisiana par
ishcs expressed belief the 1887
season would see most of them
out of debt through good profit
from the cane and from benefit
cial payments by the new sugar
act, which grants bonus of 80
cents per ton Of cane.
Many rcfinerS have taken adj
vantage of the Louisiana lO-year
tax exemption section of the state
industrial program to rebuild
their processing machinery. All
Louisiana cane is proceSsed in the
state into sugar, syrup and mo
laSSeS.
Refuse of the stalks-bagasse
goes into the manufacture of
wallboard, and the pulp is fed to
cattle.
Some of the crude molasses is
made into alcohol.
Most of the harvesting is done
by negroes who WELD the long,
slightlycurved machetes. Cutters
move in lines down the rows,
strip leaves and tops from the
stalks on the ground in one con-
tinuous operation. Wagons follow
to load the stalks for transporta-
tinn IA mills
