STUDENTS START
SAFETY CAMPAIGN
Western High Drive to Be
Memorial to Leech
and Hays.
Pictures on Page BID

A youth-inspired drive for traffic
safety for school children was en-
Enthusiastically but sadly launched at
Western High School today in memory
of two Western High graduates who
died in traffic accident a few weeks
ago.
Hundreds of Western students, four
out of five of them auto drivers them
selves, thronged the auditorium to open
the movement for safety impelled by
the deaths of James Leech and Elmer
D. Hays, jr., in collision of their car
and a bus just outside of Baltimore
while on their way to Dartmouth Col
lege.
The story and purpose of the pro-
posed traffic safety league. were told
the youthful audience by speakers, in
Guiding Allen Brown. Western alumnus
at the University of Maryland; Rich
ard NJ Ham of the American Automo-
bile Association and two school lead
ers, and few minutes after the session
was dismissed student leaders from all
the white high schools met over a
conference table in the A. A. A. offices
to lay concrete plans for the first steps
in the safety club activities.
Urges Tragedy Be Lesson.
A close friend of both Jimmy" and
ELMER" Brown urged that the trag-
edy be a lesson to all of them.
I'VE are here to take cognizance of
the pathetic heedlessness for such
accidents" he said, land to realize
that it could have happened to any
one of u.s."
Brown called for show of hands
in the packed hall of all who drove
cars, "to bring home" the closeness
of the problem to them, and like a
Fascist salute practically every hand
in the room was raised.
DR.. Elmer S. Newton, principal of
the school, who introduced the speak
ers, classed Browns speech as 'one
Of the best I have ever heard from
this platform"
Program Is Mapped.
Ham told of the success of traffic
clubs in other cities and indicated
that the program of the new club
would probably include speakers, radio
addresses and films on traffic acci-
dents
Helen Bell and Adrian Recinos,
student leaders at the high school,
both urged the gathering to make
the movement a credit to Western.
In closing the meeting, DR.. New
ton introduced the representatives Of
the other highs present and Miss
Marion Wade Doyle, End, daughter of
the president of the Board of Edu-
cation. who, he said, "is the most
active person behind the movement" !"
The plan for the safety organiza-
tion to be based on the discussion by
the student leaders in conference
today is expected to be followed by
| club formation at all the high schools
| in the interests of traffic safety. The
movement follows close upon the
heels Of School Board approval OF
the formation of the Capital Safety
Club Of washington, safety organi-
'sation for the elementary schools.

The suggestion of the British gov
ernment that the nine-power pact
signed at Washington in 1922 10 guar
antee the territorial integrity Of
China should be invoked has been
received with satisfaction in Wash
ington official quarters.
1t is realized, however. that like
all pacts and treaties signed after
the World War. the nine-pOwer pact
can offer no particular relief to the
present situation in the Far East.
Article provides that: "The con-
tracing powers agree that whenever
situation arises which in the opin-
ion of any one of them involves the
application of the stipulations Of the
present treaty, and renders desirable
discussion on such application, there
shall be full and frank communica-

concerned"

PARIS, September 23-Gen. Eu-
gene de Miller, leader of the now
mythical White Army" of Russia,
was reported today to have vanished
after mysterious rendezvous which
the aging Czarist himself suspected as
a possible trap.
Shortly afterWard the family of a
former Russian general, linked vaguely
in the affair by note De Miller had
left, reported that he also had dropped
from sight. Police telegraphed all
frontier posts and provincial stations
to keep watch for De Miller, fearing
he had been abducted.
Paul Koussonsky, secretary of the
Confederation of Russian War Vet
Grams, the scattered legion -in-exile
which De Miller heads, told police the
general had left note for him yester-
day before he disappeared.

Details of the offenses were not

has done since 1881; it does not even

There is always the possibility that
as a result of these communications
some concrete action will be taken
by the other powers, if they stick
together But in view of the fact that
the League of Nations is little in

which it had adopted against Italy
in 1885 and that other pacts have

and Edgar Heishman, truck driver, in
connection with the explosion at Dan
iels' home On Labor day eve. Daniels
was released under bond of $4,000.
Warrants were sworn out by Sheriff
Howard B. Fields charging Daniels did

The arrests followed an investiga-

The two workmen were charged with
burning the dwelling while it was un-
occupied, an offense which investiga-

home with two 2-gallon cans of gaso-
line and 2-gallon can of kerosene.
Fields added that Heishman anc
Stearn told him they poured the fiuic

parts of the house. Fumes from the
fuel, Fields asserted, evidently caused
the explosion.
Its wonder to me-" Fields said
that either of the men is alive. One
OF them was blown through a window
and the other was blown out the
rear door,
He also revealed that barber in
South Washington. Va, treated one
of the men for severe burns of the

rocked the neighborhood for blocks

PEIPING, September 23.-Japanese
military authorities announced today
that their army had shattered the
Chinese concrete defense line north
of Paotingfu and had driven the Chi
nese back in handto-hand fighting
to within a mile of that strategic base
80 miles south of here
Sharp anxiety was felt for five
American citizens who we're believed
to have remained in Paotingfu, which
japanese war planes have been bomb
ing daily.
Japanese declared that Kuochuang
village. three quarters of a mile north
of Paotingfu, fell to their attack at
$50 am. and the capture of the city
itself was imminent.
Darkness Brings Attack.
The smashing offensive against the
strong Chinese defense line began
as soon as darkness fell last night,
the Japanese said. when they forced
the crossing of the Tsao River, miles
above Paotingfu, on the trunk rail-
road to Hankow, and then assaulted
the concrete Chinese redoubts that
form a virtually unbroken wall across
Central Hopeh Province.
The japanese storm troops grappled
hand-to-hand with the Chinese in
the darkness, the japanese announce
ment said, and after desperate resis-
tance broke through the crumbling
Chinese line.
Throughout the night and early
morning the Japanese were reported
to have pushed the rout of the Chinese
back on Paotingfu, rolling up an
advance of seven miles up to $50 am,
when Kuochuaing was taken by as
sault.
The Chinese divisions were said
by the Japanese to have fought their
retreat doggedly, giving way only a
step at time under the Furnishing
japanese advance.
The exact location of both wings Of
the Japanese column attacking Poa-
tingfu was unknown here, although
an enveloping movement was believed
in progress.
Sixty miles to the east. at the other
end of the fortified Chinese line, the
japanese were reported within 200
yards of Tsangchow on the railroad
from Tientsin to Marking.
100000 Reported on Defense.
The Chinese front was reported to
have been defended by II divisions of
some 100000 Central government
troops, strung all the way from
Tsangchow to the southern banks
of the Tsao River, and had been con-
sidered the focal point of Chinese
resistance to Japanese efforts to dom
mate all North China.
There were no reports that the
Chinese line had been broken at any
point, except on the extreme western
flank, in the Paotingfu sector, where
$4,000 japanese were attacking.
The Americans said to be still in the
beleaguered city are:
DR.. Maud Machey, Los Angeles
Calf, the more than 70-year-old
director of the Presbyterian Hospital
where several wounded Chinese Of
f1cers were being treated, and as
sistant supervisor of the 1,00O-bed
japanese military hospital, which is
jammed with wounded soldiers;
Minnie Wither, Mount Joy, Pa, 8
nurse assisting DR.. Mather;
Daisy Atterbury, New York City
in charge of the Presbyterian Mission;
Abbie Chaplin, Glendale, Calf, and
Elmer Gait, Shenandoah Estate not

mission.
