International
News Review
By GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Again the guns are booming at
Shanghai-juSt as five and a half
years ago. The conflict between
Japan and China has developed into
a first-rate war, although there is no
declaration to that effect; as long as
that is absent, war is not a war
fathom that whoever may! At this
writing diplomatic connection be-
tween Marking and Tokyo has not
mors that the Chinese central gov
ernment is contemplating such step;
that would, ordinarily and in itself,
not necessarily be a prelude to war,
but in this case it would be tanta-
mount to formal declaration of war;
Pretending indignation because a
couple of japanese sailors had been
shot to death on the highway leading
to Shanghai, the Japanese military
command could think of nothing less
in the way of reprisals than a move
on that city, so about Is WarshipS
were anchored off the quays of the
city and opened fire; at the same
time Japanese airplanes swooped
down upon Shanghai, releasing their
death-bringing bombs.
Unbelievable Incident.
And then occurred one of those in
cidents which seem almost unbeliev-
able: Three Chinese airplanes bonn
barded Chinese citizens in the Chinese
city of Shanghai, killing 9O7 of them,
and, in addition, Americans.
There have been explanations, of
course; to begin with, it was the
avowed intention of the bombers to
destroy some of the japanese war
ships in the harbor AS for the in
tention, there can be no doubt. But
something went wrong One version
is that the officer in charge had mis-
understood an order; another that
the fliers were up so high that they
could not aim accurately; third that
a typhoon-one of those character
istically violent storms of China
played havoc with their projectiles
and let them fall in the city of Shang-
hal instead of on the japanese ships.
There may be added the suggestion
that an element of incompetence was
involved, but that is, to certain ex-
tent, offset by the general acknowl-
edgment that the Chinese military
aviators are known for their skill.
Whatever it was, the result was fear
full.

Why Canlzer Sores?
The canker sores that come In
crops, and that everyone wants to
know about, are possibly due TO
this mechanism, although no one
really knows what causes them
possibly a digestive disturbance,
possibly a nerve disturbance.
Shaggy teeth, an eroded filing,
or crown, or a rough denture, are
the cause Of most cases Of cancer OF
the tongue.
A smooth, red, sore tongue IN q
middle-aged person makes the doc
tor think of anenia. so. that he
orders blood count.
Painful tongue. or neuralgia OF
the tongue, occurs Independently OF
any of these things, and in former
davs was a mystery. Buthin, In
his great work on Diseases Of the
Tongue, said "lingual neuralgia
was idiopathic in origin-whicn
means that he did not know what
in the world caused it.
But MANY Of these cases or pam

to poorly fitting plates. so that the

presses on the nerves that supply

may cause neuralgia of the face

Of pressure and partial closure OF

Senator from Oregon to agree to
the unanimous passage of a bill
to strike off a 50-cent piece In
commemoration of the seventy
fifth anniversary of the battle.
Senator Tydings worked hard; he
talked and talked. Finally, when
he exhausted all the arguments
he could think of, he turned his
famous smile on full force.
Senator McNary, baSking in the
sunshine of the good-humored son
Of Maryland, slowly relaxed and
smiled back. Now he had him.
The Senator pushed his advan-
tage. He suggested that the good
nature of Senator McNary would
compel him to yield to his wishes.
Senator McNary arose and
traded smile for smile, only to
say no.
The surprise was so great that
it caused one reporter to turn to
a colleague who was from Vir-
GINA and ask:
"WhO won the Battle of Ante
tam anyway"
The Virginian replied:
ut is considered a draw. But
Lee had to retreat the next

other anniversaries of historic
interest and Importance that the
month Of April always brings are
April 1.-THE day on which Ben
jamin Franklin died at Philadel-
phia in 1790-and April 10, on the
night Of which in IT'S, Paul Revere
made his famous midnight ride
that the people Of Boston and the
surrounding towns never fail to
celebrate on the eve Of Patriots
Day.
In American history the month
of April has been critical month.
1t was on April IL, 1861, that Fort
Sumter was fired upon and for
the ensuing four years the Nation
was divided by civil war. This
ended on April 9, in 1865, when
Lee surrendered to Grant at Apo
u1dGGOA NOurC HOUSE.
MEMORABLE DATES
On April 81 comes the ami.
versary Of the declaration of war
in 1898 with Spain-a declaration
that ushered in a new era for the
United States. At the end of that
conflict the Nation found itself the
involuntary If not unwilling pos
SCISSOR Of the Philippine Islands
in the Far Pacific and Of Puerto
Rico in the Caribbean. For q
decade thereafter it required the
occupation Of Cuba to set the
Cuban people on the road to in
dependence.
And on April 6. 1917, the United
States entered the great war as an
associate of the powers allied
against Germany and Austria. For
this reason as we'll as because It
comes in the first week of the
month in which the war for hide
pendence, the civil war and the
war with Spain began, April 6
has been set aside for national
observance as Army Day.
It ought to receive an obServ-
ance as truly national as that
given the birth of the nation on
July 4. Because it was what Wash.
ington and his soldiers did and not
what they or anyone else wrote
or signed that brought to the
American people their independ-
ence as nation and laid the foun-
dalton for the nation of our allie
glance today.
Is it any wonder that through.
out the month of April the Amer.

any time have a habit of leading
people to do. And years later. after
he had escaped, and had become
a monk and had been educated in
Tours, in France, under the wing
Of his lovely mother, and OF his
soldier uncle, Martin, he who was
to become st. Martin. Patrick went
back to Ireland, slew the wicked
old gods and made Ireland and its
people a Christian land.
Twas Patrick, storming up and
down the land, who put the fear
q God into some mighty hard
hearts. Whether it was the rois-
tering lord in his castle with the
red wine on his table and the
dice box in his hand, or some wild
fellow back in the hedge. he made
them humble, did Patrick.
He was the mighty magnet that
drew them together in vast throngS

tradition says-and by the thunder
and lightning Of his spirit he
drove them to their wicked knees.

biography, could we but know all
of the trials and perilS he went

almost single-handed, he con
verified an entire people to the
Christian faith.
The span TO his life was ~
years. The legend most closely
associated in the popular n11nc
with the names of the good Saint
has to do with his determination
of snakes in old Ireland.
Indeed, there may be basis o.
truth in that legend. as usually
there is in all legends. Getting
rid of snakes must have been 6
mere chore in the lively and tur
bulent life Of this remarkable
man.
