thousand dollars to remodel and
improve the church house, which
was formerly q residence. 1t has

Veteran RailrOader
Will Retire Soon

Fred Spearlng, a veteran railroad
man of Pine City, will retire on No
vember l after service period of
| fifty-two and one-half years. He
will receive a pension from the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
for which company he has worked
since it was organized.
Mr.. Spearing has seen a great
deal of the development of this ter
ritory since he began work as a
young man in May 1885. He worked
first as a section hand in the good
old days when days work was IL
hours and the wages S1.10 per day
Those old days were real days of
work to railroad section men who
toiled hard in doing all the work by
hand, even to propelling the hand
driven cars that carrier them to work
Spearing'S first assignment was at
Oneota, point that was about half
way between what is now goth Ave-
nue., Duluth, and West Duluth. Later
he was assigned to the yard at Carl
ton and worked there until about 80
His section extends from a point one
mile south of Pine City to a point one
mile north of Beroun. Through the
years, Fred Spearing has been faith
fully on the job. He has seen wrecks,
snowblockades, strikes, washouts and
Everything else that goes with rail-
reading, but through it all he has
been alert and busy with the sec

Japan goes ahead and does not stop
until it has accomplished what is
meant to be accomplished. One re-
members the dire threats employed
against Italy when that country was
engaged in war of conquest against
Ethiopia. Italy got what she wanted.
So did Japan five years ago (Man-
churia) and so, without a doubt, will
Japan this time, too.
Military Setback.
In the minds of people who are
conversant with the Far East Situa-
ton it is taken for almost granted
that Japan ultimately will emerge
victorious. But despite her prepara-
tons and her great military skill Japan
backs on the battlefelds of China dur
ing the last few days. Shanghai still
is a most elusive objective in spite
of the fact that it has been more
violently and more frequently shelled
by the attackers than any other city
since the days of the world war
Here and there the Chinese lines
of defense have yielded, but they do
not appear to have been broken, and
that is also true of the campaign in
northern China where the japanese
armies have been more successful
than around Shanghai-and still not
sufficiently successful. The national
armies of China seem to have been
reinforced by the Chinese Communist
armies which recently declared their
Willingness to fight shoulder to shoul-
der under the flag of Field Marshal
Chang Kai-shek.
In Manchukuo it appears that a
Chinese revolt has broken out, and
that has made it necessary for Japan
to send troops-taking them away
from the forces in northern China,
thus weakening aggressive power of
the japanese.
Again, one hears rumors of French
and Russian airplanes and military
experts aiding the Chinese, but most
of these stories are of Japanese orr
gin, and not confirmed elsewhere.
The immediate fact seems to be
that although the. Japanese add new
territory to their conquests in the
north, the fight has slowed up, chiefly
due to an amazingly brilliant Chinese
defense.
Politics Clash.
One reason for the undivided at
tention which the world in general
bestows on the Spanish civil war and
the war between China and Japan
is the fact that they are symbolic
of the strife between two political
systems. One is the conservative,
the reactionary-promiscuously re-
ferred to as imperialistic and fascist,
and, in general, represented by Italy,
Germany and Japan. The other is
the liberal, the democratic school of
thought as espoused by such nations
as the United States, Great Britain,
France and Russia Between the
two systems there is an abyss of mu-
tual intolerance.
But the question still remains: Can
wars bridge it? Would there not be
a better way out?
The further question, filling all
the world with anxiety, is: Can
these wars be confined to Spain and
to the east Asiatic mainland, or
will other countries become involved?
The answer is yelled in the mists
of the future.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear hus-
band and father who passed away
three sad years ago today:
How vacant is our loved ones chair
Our father who's no longer there
His oft familiar step is gone,
And we are left alone to mourn.
A wonderful father. man and aid
One who was better God never made
A wonderful worker, so loyal and
true
One in a million-that, father, was
you.
Just in your judgment, always right
Honest and liberal, ever upright:
Loved by his friends and all whom
he knew.
Greatly missed by Mrs. Andrew
Olean and family.

However, it was not the Russian
demand for clear lines that upset the
scheme was Italian arrogance, for,
on the eve of conference No. SO the
Mussolini government announced that
it could not in advance bind itself
to an acceptance of the committee
findings; furthermore, it was definitely
stated that estimates of the number
of Italian volunteers in Spain had
been grossly exaggerated. Usually,
one has heard that there are between
10000 and 10000 Italians in Gen.
eral Francisco Francois Spanish rebel
army Rome said, 4O,OOO-and added
menacingly that it might hurt some
body to dispute that figure. No one
is supposed to cast doubt upon an

Fall of Gijon.
What strengthens the attitude Of
Mussolini is the fact that some days
back General Franco succeeded in
capturing the city of Gijon which
meant, in effect, that the Spanish
governments defense of northern
Spain has collapsed. A victory for
Franco is a victory for fascism, in
other words, for Mussolini who now
figures that the rebels will concen-
trate their principal efforts about re-
newed attempts to take Madrid, Bar
celona and Valencia. Those cities
in fascist hands will likely mean the
fast approaching end of the civil
war, so, why should Mussolini make
concessions of any kind? That's his
reasoning. He needs time, he is
sparring for time consistently, and
his diplomatic opponents somewhat
abjectly grant him what he wants.
A complete fascist victory in Spain
will be a genuine Mussolini triumph,
so, why bother with conferences and
such nonsense?

result of the sixty-eighth non-inter-

Brussels Conference.
On Saturday of this week there
will be-unless, as it has been limited,
postponement until November 3
takes place-a conference at Brussels
of the powers who signed the Wash
ington treaty of February 6, 1922,
guaranteeing the political independ-
ence and the territorial integrity of
China.
Now, this conference is not pri-
marily interested in stopping Japan's
aggression against China; it is sum-
what is known as frank and full
discussion" but, as all the world
ought to know by this time-from dis
cussion to action is a far jump.
Nine powers signed the treaty-since
adhered to by five minor states
but, apparently, with no intention
of actually securing respect for it.
They are not prepared to 60 to war
for the sake of China; they are most
decidedly unwilling to use boycott
against Japan-or any other from of
economic sanctions, SO, it seems, all
they can do is to deplore. The
League of Nations already has done
hat-adding to its deploring an in
effectual condemnation

with a truckload of farm produce
did not materialize. By the set start

the committee decided to postpone
the trip one week.
The truck will leave early Satur-
