story of the worlds Rrst aerial

set by the Brazilian pilot-inventor
Santos Dumont, flying one Of the
most primitive of ships in 1906.
Born in Sac Paulo, Brazil, and
educated in France upon the death
of his father, a wealthy coffee
planter, Dumont devoted his first
efforts to perfecting navigable
balloon.
After several experiments, he
made his first ascent in July, 1898,
and later in 1899 he had developed
a balloon in which he encircled
the Eiffel tower several times, thus
marking a new epoch in air navi-
cation.
In 1901 he sailed from st. Cloud
around the Eiffel tower and back
in less than 80 minutes, thereby
winning the Deutsch prize of
100 900 francs. About the same
time Dumont developed one Of the
first practical forms Of dirigibles.
His was the non-rigid type, held
in shape by internal gas pressure.
simultaneously, Zeppelin devel-
oped the first rigid ship.
Dumont's ship was outdistanced
by the rigid type, but was, how

Some persons might feel in
clined to criticize the st. Peters

a quaint sentence and accuse
him of trying to be funny in an
office which is not supposed to be
funny.
Yet if the offender had been
given 90 days instead of what he

DIVIDING THE WEALTH
1t should be borne in mind that
the unintelligent dividing Of
wealth may be, not the distribu-
ton of wealth, but the deStruc-
ton of wealth.
For instance: Suppose you
should inherit a million dollars.
Suppose the government should
take half that million away from
you in taxes and divide it among
group of people who would
spend it. In a short time that
half-milliOn dollars would be
gone; and the people who got it
might be no better off than be-
fore they received it.
Or suppose the government

R0nh Port of AnlOH

HoNGKONG, Sept. 7 G.N.S0.
Two japanese planes bombed the
great Chinese port of Annoy to-
day, concentrating on military
detectives, according to reports
reaching here. Limiting Island,
west of Hongkong, was seized by
japanese troops during the night.
Describing how the japanese
seized the famous Pratas Shoals,
south of Swatow, officials Of the
"Sea Products" Company charged
they had been tortured by Japa-
nese soldiers.
They declared knives were tied
to their heads and that a Japa'
nese sailor stood by with a ham
mer, under orders to drive the
knives through their skulls unless
they answered questions.
The officials declared the Japa
nese were converting the shoals
into a seaplane base. The refugees
said the Japanese left a garrison
of marines on the shoals.

DIET PASSES
WAR BUDGET

TOKYO, Sept. Z U.NS0.-In
complete accord with the govern
ment's desire to rush through
Japan's war measures, the special
session Of the Diet today passed
the huge supplementary budget de-
manded by military authorities to
finance the war with China.
The supplementary budget calls
for an outlay Of more than 2,000,-
100000 yen, or approximately
$579, 100000.
Foreign Minister Koki Hirota, in
an address to the Diet, declared
the Sino Soviet non aggression
pact, which recently was signed
cannot be overlooked In view
of the remarkable activity Of the
Soviet Union in connection with
the Spanish affair"
Contending by inference that
Russia would be equally ready to
take q hand in the Sino-Japanese
conflict, Hirota said serious at
tention will be paid to the activ
tiles of Communists in China"

Italy Rejects Russian
Ship Sinking Note
BY FRANK GERvASI

ROME, Sept. 7 QNSO.-Rup-
ture of diplomatic relations be-
tween Italy and Russia was be-
lieved probable today, following
Soviet charges that Italian sub
marines torpedoed two Russian
merchant ships.
Well-informed circles stated For
eign Minister Count Galeazzo
Ciano's blunt rejection of the
Soviet note. in which the charges
were contained, amounts to q
diplomatic slap in the face.
ITALIANS ANGERED
Today Italian officials, making
no effort to conceal their anger
at the Soviet Union, impatiently
awaited the next Russian step.
They expressed virtual certainty,
however, that the U. S. S. r.
would not risk war with Italy
in the Mediterranean.
The Soviet note, in addition to
charging two Soviet vessels had
been sunk by Italian Submersibles,
demanded damages and punish
ment of the guilty officials. Italy
rejected all charges and demands.
AS a result of the controversy 1t
appeared unlikely Italy would par
ticipate in, the Forthcoming con-
ference on Mediterrane ca n

Officials from the British and
French embassies called on Ciano
shortly after he received the Rus
sian note to invite italy to par
ticipate in the pirate" parley.
BID LEFT IN AIR
Ciano Immediately advised the
diplomats OF the step taken by
Russia and declared:
"In view of the Soviet move
Italy must reserve the right to
consider whether or not she
will attend the conference"
Ciano then conferred on this
question with Premier Mussolini.
Official circles said Germany also
might refuse to attend the parley.
One government official told In
ternational News Service:
Italy is aware of the intense
anti-Italian telling in Soviet Rus
STA and the desire to wage war
against Fascism. Italy is ready.
