GOSHEN, N. Y, October 1.-two
servants, engaged in litigation for the
S1,200,000 estate left by Mrs. Frederick
Depeyster Foster, moved out of the
palatial Foster home last night.
They abandoned, on advice of coun-
Gel. what had become their fortress
during court battles with wealthy
Tuxedo Park contestants over the will
on which they based their claim to
the magnificent fortune:
Leaving a court room session in
which their counsel charged great
collusion" between witnesses to the
contested will and beneflciaries under
> prior will, the Foster butler, William
Lowe, AZ, and a former maid, Olivia
Olsen, IS, went home and packed their
belongings.
The servants counsel, former Su-
preme Court Justice Humphrey j.
Lynch, explained: Nov that q tenn
porary administrator has been ap-
pointed and schedules (of the prop
erty) turned over, the servants prefer
to be released from further RESPONSE
bility."
The home the butler and maid left
had a substantially stocked cellar, but
the pantry was bare. Until now, there
had been no funds to keep the place

Earlier they heard Justice Lynch tell
Surrogate Charles E. Taylor that John

National Bank, and witnesses to the
servants windfall" will were involved
in collusion. Luft, along with other
wealthy and socially prominent resi-
dents, had been named in the first

The second document dated July,
1882, five years before Mrs. Foster died
at the age Of 90, gives the bulk Of the
estate to the servants. In present pre-

second will be being contested.
The hearing was adjourned yesterday
after examination of only one witness.

NANKING, October l5.-What must
be an extraordinary phenomenon in
aviation occurred in the midst of a
series Of dog fights during Wednes-
days Japanese air raids over Marking
I was watching one fighter when OBJ
served a japanese participant sud-
denly break from the engagement and
enter into series Of great loops under
full power During that performance
a Chinese pilot cruised about watching
the performance of his enemy until
another Jap pursuit plane plunged
after him.
The looping machine continued with
exquisite precision as to the diameter
of its circles. but losing altitude with
each loop until 1t disappeared from
sight behind the purple mountains
There were some 10 gigantic loops by
the Japanese flyer. The mystery was
only explained when the plane was
found smashed to pieces on the noun
tainside. Examination of the pilot
showed his jacket was punctured with
II separate bullet holes. He probably
was killed instantly in the air with
his hand on the throttle setting the
plane for the loops and the plane con-
tinued performing with dead man
at its controls until the mountainside
intervened.
Judging by the slackening of the
Japanese offensive toward China,
which has been proceeding for Is days
they've been convinced it is failure
since they have not obtained any of
their objectives.

FEW WHEAT EXPORTS
TO ORIENT PREDICTED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Government trade experts predicted
today the Orient would import little
foreign wheat, including grain from
the United States, during the 1898
season.
A survey of supplies in China. ia
pan and Manchuria indicated all
three areas were nearly on self
sufficient basis.
The Shanghai Office of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics said hos
tilities made forecasts difficult, but
that China apparently would need
little foreign wheat.
The Chinese government prohibited
wheat exports until June, 1888, and
is enforcing strict regulation OF trad
ing to curb speculation.
tapan's wheat crop also should
supply domestic needs, the bureau
said, with a large carry-over from
last year and large rice crop.

minimum prices to be paid farmers
and establishing a market-Wlde pool to
provide uniform returns for all pro-
ducers in the market"
Federal ofiicials said assignment OF

Court for final decision"

was questioned by 80 New England
milk dealers at recent hearings held
in Washington and Boston before De-
partment of Agriculture representa-
tives.

asserted legal no mans land" would
exist in the milk industry If the Su-
preme Court failed to uphold consti-

What happened when Italy invaded

The question Of military aid never
came up, the members of the League
contenting themselves with the ap-
plication Of economic sanctions against
needed raw materials.
OIL, however, was not included in
the prescribed commodities, and oil,
many observers have stated, decided
the Ethiopian issue in favor Of Italy.
Had Italy, severely hampered in its
operations by the imposition Of sane
tions, begged down in Ethiopia, the
prestige Of the League would have
been incalculable. As it was, the
Italian victory raised the cry that the

This is the second OF a series OF
three articles tracing the history OF
Americas peace efforts.
BY CHARLES NORMAN,
Associated Press Stan Writer

TT WAS proud moment for Presi-
dent Wilson on that November
day in 1920 when he convened the
4 first ordinary assembly of the
League OF Nations in Geneva, per-
manent home Of the world peace or
ganization.
Forty-two nations were represented.
Before the year was out, six more
were to be admitted to membership.
Few could foresee then that within
another year Wilson's hopes for
American adherence to the League he
had fathered-the crowning work OF
his life-would go glimmering in de-
feat at the hands Of the United States
Senate.
But despite American aloofness. the
work OF the League went on. There
were many triumphs in store for it,
many setbacks. There were some days
when the outlook for its existence
seemed hopeless.
In the period of 1920-37, the League
has functioned with varying success
in AZ international crises. ranging in
significance from the Aland Islands
dispute between Sweden and Finland
(Which resulted In a notable gain in
League prestige) through German re-
armament, two Sino-Japanese con-
flicts, the war between Bolivia and
Paraguay, the Italo- Ethiopian war
and the Spanish crisis.
Under the Treaty Of Versailles, the
Saar Basin, important mining district
was governed by the League for Is
years pending plebiscite held Janu.
airy 13, 1895, which resulted in its
adhesion to Germany. An interna-
tional police force, composed of con.
