his own hat, which showed marks

u. 5. READY TO GO FAR IN ANY
JOINT ACTION WHICH WOULD
OUTLAW WHOLESALE BOMBINCS
Some Officials Think
Such Steps Logical Out
growth of World Indigna-
ton at Events in China
By GRATTAN McGROARTY
Copyright, 1897, by United Press

WASHINGTON, Oct. l. CUP
The United States, fearing the
consequences of unrestricted bonn.
bardments in future wars, would
90 far in any international action
To humanize air warfare" the
United Press learned today.
This government plans no initi-
ative in that connection, but it was
said authoritatively that the Unit
ed States would throw her full
weight behind possible proposals
outlawing wholesale bombardment
of civilian populations.
The horrors of Shanghai, Nam
king and Canton, where death WIS.,
tied civilians from the bomb racks
of Japanese airplanes, apparently
has created official revulsion
throughout the world, with men,
DRY fresh of the terrorization OF
non-cambatants in Madrid.
There was evidenced by the
unanimous action of the League
of Nations advisory council on
the Far East in condemning bonn
bardment of Chinese civilians.
Some high officials believed a
logical outgrowth of world indig-
nation over events in China would
he an international demand for
protecting great metropolitan CEN
tiers from air raids. 1t was sug-
pested that this might be accom-
plished by establishing mutual
grounds of interest among the ma
tons, similar to the rules OF SUBJ
marine warfare.
1t was believed that if such &C,
ton is Initiated, it probably would
come from Euruope, where more
than 10000 military airplanes are
concentrated and thousands Oh
other craft that could be convert
ed to military purposes almost
overnight.
The capital of every European
country, under the present ind,
Gated alignment of nations, would
be exposed to destruction from
the air in event of war. The esti.
mated military air strength OF
Europe is: Russia, $500 planes;
Italy, $3.50; Germany, $500;
France, 2,700; England, 5000;
Poland, $50; Czechoslovakia, BOO;
Jugoslavia, $50; and Austria, 300.
Rules Of air warfare drafted but
not accepted at the Washington
conference on limitation of arma-
nent in 1923 still represent the
attitude of the United States gov
eminent to this delicate interna-
;ional problem, it was understood.

TENSELY WAIT
HULL'SACTION
IN JAP REPLY
Secretary Silent But Highly
Disappointed, Displeas-
ed, by Tokyo Note

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. (UP)
Diplomatic circles today tenscly
awaited Secretary of State Cor
dell Hulls next move in the sharp
exchange with Japan over the
bombing of non-combatants in the
Sino-Japanese war.
Although Hull himself was 81
lent he was represented as highly
disappointed as well as displeased
over Japan's pointed statement, in
reply to his most recent protest.
that American nationals in China
should cooperate" to evacuate
areas which she desires to bom-
bard.
The reply was received Wednes-
day, a week after Hull CURLY
warned that mo amount Of solicit
tude" could insure the safety of
persons and property being bomb
ed by airplanes and told Japan
this government "holds the view
that general bombing of an extern
sive area wherein there resides a
large populace engaged in peace
full pursuits, is unwarranted and
contrary to the principles of law
and Of humanity"
The protest, the second within
a week, marked stiffening Of
United States policy in the Far
East, particularly against Japan
which had virtually ordered Amer
lean and other diplomatic officials
to evacuate Marking, seat Of the
Chinese Central government, be-
fore it began bombarding the city.
If Hull was perturbed by the
crisply worded japanese reply he
gave no outward indication yes
terday at his daily press confer
ence. He declined comment with
the statement that he believed the
United States representations and
the reply spoke for themselves.
Likewise he said he preferred not
to comment on the Japanese re-
quest for Cooperation" in the
various theaters of war.
Nevertheless he kept in con-

CABBAGE CROP
HERE DAMAGED.
Cut Is Percent by Two
BIights; Corn Suffers
Potash Deficiency

Henderson county farmers have
lost several thousands of dollars
through damage to the cabbage
crop as Il result of black rot and
the Harlequin bugs, the county
farm agents office stated today
after an inspection tour by DR..
Luther Shaw, State College extern
sion pathcologist.
1t is estimated that the produc-
ton of cabbage IN the county has
been cut by about % per cent,
and hardly a cabbage field in the
county is free from one of these
two blightS.
Black rot, Assistant Agent D.
w. Bennett said today, can be
controlled by purchase of treated
seed. cleaning up of the old crop
residue, rotation of crops, and
growing of plants on new land.
Harlequin bugs can be con-
trolled by cleaning up all residue
of the old crop.
The corn crop in the county was
found to be suffering from potash
deficiency, not disease but con-
dition of nutrition. This can be
overcome by side dressing corn
with potash and, in cases where
this has been done, the corn crop
was almost doubled.
Squash scab was also found in
certain sections of the county, but
was found to be under control in
most places. This plant disease
can be controlled by the applica-
ton of $3.50 solution of bor-
deauX miXture.
