The action of the Chinese in

Several hundred Jews of North

Diplomats Cheered By Belief That
European War Threat Now Waning

Benito MuSsolini over the week
end indicated to them the posi-
bility Of an Anglo-Italian rap
prochment.
Possibility that another "gen-
tlemen's agreement" between Bri-
tain and Italy over the Mediter-
ranean might be signed soon was
viSioned.
The new optimistic atmosphere
that seemed to pervade the inter-
national sphere was attributed to
these factors:
Frances new victories in
Spain.
2-Continuance of the Rome
Berlin axis on a strong basis.
3-Weakening of the French
Russian alliance.
4-Chamberlain's letter to Pre-
mier Mussolini.
5-Japan's invasion of North
China.
The deadlock over withdrawal
of foreign troops from Spain still
might mar the international scene
but Italians hoped for a compro-
mise.

that tempers have been spent and
that the powers of Europe are
ready to take a more realistic

The major powers. they be.

The international non-interven-

vaged despite Russia's refusal to
compromise over the granting OF
belligerent rights to the Spanish
Nationalists.

SAY SALARIES RISE
WITH LIVING COSTS

MONNEAPOLlS, Aug. 2. -
(UP)-Although the cost of beef
steak and a pound of butter is
substantially higher than in 1888,
the average salary has more than
kept pace with the upturn in
prices, an insurance company sur
vey today showed.
The average American family,
earning and spending $12o per
month in 1888 had to pay $l4 :62
to maintain the same living
standards in June, 1887, but IN
the meantime the family pay en-
velope has expanded to $l47.23.
A year ago it cost $l35.6S to
maintain living standards which
$12O would support at the 1888
price average and the family pay
envelope was S136.
Thus the family income has IN
creased $l1 and living costs up

Petain Says US. Troops Saved
Allies In World War AS Shaft Is
Dedicated To War Dead In France
Pershing Tells Wars Hor-

DictatOrs

MONTFACCON, France, Aug.
2. (UP).-Marshal Henri Pctain
of France, IN tears before a gran
ite shaft above the Meuse-Argon-
ne plains that are glorified by
the blood of $4,000 American
doughbOys, revealed yesterday
that the arrival of the first u. S.
troops in the summer of 1917
saved the allies from defeat.
The Sl-year-old commander
gave to the American armies full
credit for turning the tide of the
World war after allied morale
had been shattered by collapse of
Russian resistance on the eastern
front.
Petain spoke at the dedication of
the l75-foot doric shaft, sur
mounting the untouched war
ruins of MOntfaucon, before an
audience of 5000 American war
veterans and their families who
came from Paris in five special
trains.
Beside him was his close friend,
General John J. BLACK jack
Pershing, an erect and stalwart
figure in khaki despite his II
years and poor health.
PERSHING, ASSAILS AIMS
OF EUROPE'S DICTATORS
Pershing, in a brief speech,
painted a graphic picture of the
horrors of war by describing the
fighting of the Meuse-Argonne.
Warming that western civiliza-
ton cannot survive another great
war, Pershing attacked the "un-
holy ambitions" of European dlc-
tatorS.
If no cure is discovered for
this temporary madness we are IN
a hopeless state, yet, in the race
of danger from frequent stupid
ity or the more frequent amol-
ton of false leaders we must ever
hold ourselves ready to give our
all to defend the liberty we nave
inherited" he said.
NOOOuy WON dilytHS
last war;" he said. problems can
not be settled by wars"
Marshall Petin, introduced by
u. S. Ambassador William Z. Bull
lit said that in the spring OF 1911
allied operations were virtually
at a standstill, awaiting the ar
rival of the Americans.
"The Russian developments naG
a stunning effect on the allied
ranks" he said. "The Russian
army had lost its power and we
knew that if the bulk of the Ger
man forces were released on the
east Roumania would be doomed
OF total annihilation, a condition
which might soon be followed by
a dangerous concentration of
enemy forces on the western
front.
"When news of Americas en-
trance into the war on the allies
side spread it had the moral eff
feet of a tremendous transfer Of
