Close Vote In H. s. Election
 Ruled Illegal

When I2 members of . senior 'prOm" committee meet to elect a chairman and the final vote comes out seven to six, there Is usually 2 strong suspicion that someone in. the group has two pencils, or something.
 But up at LeavenwOrth high school this morning something more extraordinary than what was thought for . time to be baI- lot box stuffing took place.
 Under the direction of John A. Dillon of the faculty the twelve members of the 1887 prom cOm- mittee" assembled in a designated room today shortly before noon and voted for two candidates. The bell marking the end of a period changed, according to Mir. Dillon, immediately after the bal- lots had been handed i'm and he collected them hurriedly, proceed ing then to the office where he planned to count hem and an- nOunce the winner.
 He counted them once, twice and three times and 1t kept com ing out seven to six. An im- prOfnptu investigator was start cd and before long MT. Dillon found out all about what he first thought was ballot box -stuffihg. A companion of one of the com nittee members had been sitting in with her friend during the Ses- sion and for some reason which MT. Dillon could not explain, simply decided that she might as well vote also. The chairman will be elected again tomorrow with 12 voting!

In referring to Wilson's failure
to cement peace in the early post

correspondent said:

which the then-preSident of the
United States at the end of the
World war approached the ques-
ton of reform and a new order

"The weight which the United

ance succeeded in ending the

thority of the then-president did
not suffice to give effect to any
extent to the peace basis he pro-
posed.
Zone can truthfully say that

had been before.

u. S. BRANDS JAPAN
AGGRESSOR NATION
Continued from page one)

Continued from page one)
Elements of war to both Japan
and China. This. in the opinion of
diplomats, would injure China
more than Japan since the latter
has a naval advantage in getting
war materials to its shores.
The state department said this
government has been forced to
the conclusion that the action of
Japan in China is inconsistent
with the principles which should
govern the relationships between
nations and is contrary to the
provisions of the nine power
treaty of February 6, 1922, re-
garding principles and policies to
be followed in matters concerning
China, and TO those of the kel-
logg- BRAND pact of August 81,
1928"
The nine-power treaty, which
Japan signed, bound the powers
to respect the sovereignty, indie
pendence and territorial integrity
of China. The Kellogg-Briand
pact, signed by Is nations includ-
ing Japan and subsequently ad-
hered to by 40 others, renowned
war as an instrument of national
policy.
The latest move took the Unit
ed States a step closer TO the
league in connection with the cur
rent Far Eastern warfare. Presi-
dent RooSevelt'S vigorous pledge
of cooperation with any definite
program for curbing warliEe pow
ers apparently was the spur which
prompted quick action at Geneva.
The presidents speech aroused
mixed reaction in this country,
with some newspapers utterlng
the fear that the nation was risk
ing involvement in war and could
not cooperate with the league
without going to war. In general,
however, the presidents attitude
was approved, certainly to far
greater extent than any domestic
policy. =,
State department officials said
the leagues action constituted
two stages:
/. Adoption of part l of the
Far Eastern advisory committee
report condemning Japan as IN
vader.
.. Adoption of part 2 recon-
mending specific action by calling
for consultation among the sigma
tories of the nine-power treaty
refraining from any action whlcf
would iniure China's defense, anc
recommending that mdlvldua
| league members determine Il
what extent they might aid CHINA
Under the second stage th'
nine-power treaty signers woulC
be invited to consult on the crisis
as it affects that pact. Then, i
is presumed, signers not MEMBER
of the league, will be invited.
Before issuing its momentou
declaration, the state department
revealed that licenses for export
of war implements totaled SIS,

three times the amount of an!

ing system went into effect. So

fully and presumably forwarded
to Tokyo a full account of the
departments statement, but they
declined further comment.
IL was recalled that other ia
paneSe officials have repeatedly
blamed China with inStigating the
incidents which provoked the
present conflict and that some
Japanese have claimed they are
fighting against cOmmuunistic in
flucnceS in China which may
jeopardize their national position
The Japanese reaction here to
the American statement appeared
very similar to that given earlier
in Tokyo TO the League of Ma
tons finding that Japan had vio-
lated the same treaties.
No formal Japanese reply was
made to the league, however, be-
cause Japan withdrew from that
body after the Manchurian Incl
dent of 1920 when the league
accused Japan of violating its
commitments.
