British Are Enraeed

Japan and Italy have been Wig
orously twisting the tail OF the
British lion, and if they keep it up,
that mighty beast may be stirred to
action. Within few days five Brit
ish soldiers were killed and num-
Der wounded by Japanese shells in
the fighting at Shanghai. The Eng
lish there charged the killings were
deliberate, in retaliation for the aid
the British gave a Suicide battal-
ion" of Chinese in escaping from a
warehouse in Chapel, the native
quarter, to the international settle
ment. The British and Japanese
admirals had a hot dispute over the
right of the former to prevent the
passage of Japanese launches up
Soochow creek.
Soon after the Japanese began
Smelling the residential area of the
settlement and an outpost where
English soldiers were quartered was
destroyed. Continuous Smelling of
Shanghai by the invaders endan-
gered the British and American
lines on the border of the interna-
tional settlement and shells fell
close to the American warship Au-
gusta, Admiral Yarnell's flagship.
Japan is angry over the alleged
help Britain is giving China in the
warfare and there is a movement
in Toxic to break diplomatic rela-
tions with London. This is urged
by the council on the current situa-
tion," an unofficial body composed
of high army officers, political
leaders and other influential per-
sons. The council adopted a reso-
luton warning that unless Britain
"reconsiders its improper attitude"
Japan may be forced to take GER
tain steps of grave determination"
against Britain, despite the deep
friendship existing between the two
countries for the last sixty years.
Japanese troops invaded part
of the international settlement
guarded by American marines and
seized a Chinese junk loaded with
rice. General Beaumont, comman-
dant of marines, Immediately en-
tered a protest and the japanese
apologized but the marines did not
consider the incident closed because
the Japs didn't return the junk.
The British government was not
expected to take any action that
would further anger japan lest it
should endanger the success of the
parley in Brussels. But wise OBJ
servers do not believe the nine
power treaty conference will have
any definite results.

lO,OOOSchool Children
 Transported Daily
Connecticut Company Provides Statistics on Bus,
 Trolley Travel By Youngsters of State

Ten thousand Connecticut school children are being transported daily to and from their schools in buses and street cars owned and operated by the Connecticut Company, the company furnishing transportation to the children both on its sched- uled buses and trolleys and on spe- cial busses engaged by local boards of education.
 Where the youngsters ride daily on regularly scheduled runs, they resceive their trips to and from school at ( lea cents through the purchase of the familiar school tickets" Tn some cases, where chil- dren must travel from one town to another for their schooling, particu- larly with respect to high school education, local authorities purchase the tickets from the company and furnish them without charge to the pupils. When Connecticut Company vehicles are engaged as school busses, local authorities make ar- arrangements with the company to carry @ group of specified size each day.
 Plan Safe Guard
 Officials of the Connecticut Com. pany are insistent that the bus and car operators take every possible step to safeguard the youngsters while en route to and from school, and urge parents to cooperate in the matter of safety by explaining to their children the dangers involved in leaving their seats, thrusting arms out of windows and In refusing to heed the warnings of the operators with respect to boarding and leav- ing the vehicles. Statistics have re- vealed that present street transit facilities are the safest mode of travel, 50 there Is little chance of accident.
 It Is pointed out by company of- hcials that children are far safer riding public transit vehicles than when they are permitted to make their way home from school by the hitch-hiking method, which while 1t may save 0 little money in trans portation, may rest care of the chil- dren in the hands of reckless driv. CTS or may subject them to bad company. Moreover, the child who rides by bus or trolley Is kept out of the general hazards of traffic.
 Precautl0n
 In addition to It's work of protect Ing It's young patrons, the Connec- ticut Company has instructed all of It's operators to observe special pre- caution when operating in the vicin- fly of school buildings, 50 that acc cidents to child pedestrians or chil- drOn running into the street while playing will be avoided.
