PLAN EXPLAINED
GEORGE z. FARRELL TELLS OF
NEW AAA LAND POLICY
FOR 1888

George Z. Farrell director Of the
western region Of the AAA, has
announced that all restoration"
land, or land that Is slated TO go
out Of crop production under the
1888 triple-A program, and receive
special treatment TO restore veg
etafive cover must be designated
for all counties by the state agri-
cultural conservation committee.
Restoration, explains A. J. Borton,
executive secretary of the state COM
mittee, is q new term for the acreage
Of crop land on which practice pay
mentS were made under the 1885 and
1887 programs to restore native veg
citation. Restoration" land this year
must include the 1936-37 land upon
which payments were made, plus any
additional acres.
County committees are being asked
to designate and identify the restora-
ton acres in their respective counties.
Then all county designations VIII be
referred to the state committee which
In turn win recommend the state total
to the Washington, D. 9. office OF
the AAA.
Farrell's announcement says that
designating the acres means that they
will be taken out of their present clas-
sification and not reclasSified until
after a three-year restoration period.
It also says, ''it is contemplated that
future programs viii provide for the
designation of additional restoration
land each year"
only the worst types Of land and
those tracts in the worst degree of
erosion or a reasonable proportion of
the ultimate total which may now and
in the future appear to be for the best
interest of special areas in particular,

as whole" viii be designated this
year.
After the restoration total acreage
for the state has been approved at
washington, each farmer having such
land win be notified and given an out
line Of the procedure to follow. Failure
to observe this procedure "shall be the
basis for deduction from any payments
to which he Cor they might otherwise
be entitled under the agricultural con-
servation program"

One casualty of the @chink1

was that OF Mrs. Fl. A. K0efIer Of

season, MIR. KOehTer allowed some
hunters the privilege Of his place

warded by having one whole Sec
tiOn of his line fence torn down,
and having his wife shot.
The spOrtsmen were warned not
to shoot in the direction of the
farm buildings, but one Of them
became overly enthusiastic when a
bird started flying toward some
brush near the house. Mrs. K0ehIer
was hanging clothes on the line
nearby, and was hit by the shot,
one lodging in her neck. MIR.

shot which left q painful but not

FLOODS LOOSED
AGAINST NIPPON
ARMY IN NORTH
$4,000 Chinese Are
Trapped By Invaders
BY JOHN GoETTE

PEIPING, Sept. Is QN.S0.-
Threatened by loosened flood wa
tiers, Japanese troops pressed for
ward in their sweeping drive
through north China today.
japanese military headquarters
here announced steady progress
in spite of the fact that Chinese
forces, in a desperate effort to
save $4,000 of their number from
humiliation, broke the banks Of
rivers and canals southwest Of
Peiping.
CHINESE TROOPS TRAPPED
Their object was to stem the
advance Of Nipponese regiments
marching on four divisions Of Chi
nese soldiers trapped between
Lianghsiang and Chochou, ap-
proximately 40 miles southwest Of
this city.
The main japanese division &C.
cupied Kwanlichuan, 10 miles
southwest Of Couchou, and then
took Peishanglo.
The Chinese have established
strong defense works along the
Tientsin-Pukow and Peiping-Han-
kow railways, and advanced their
positions to points north Of Asang-
chow after flooding the region.
Heavy Chinese reinforcements
have arrived at Tsangchow to re-
lieye beleagured regiments.
AMERICANS TO LEAVE
In Pieping, Col. John E. Mar
ston, United States Marine COM
mander, informed the 140 Amer
leans who have expressed desire
to leave the city he would afford
them transportation aboard a
destroyer as far as Chefoo, where
they would be able to board a beat
for Manila.
A Marine census showed 900 ad-
ditional Americans did not intend
to leave the city. They appar-
emily share the view of the British,
German and Soviet officials who,
believing Peiping the safest place
in China, are bringing nationals
in from all over the country.
OFFICERS HOME LOOTED
The British embassy obtained
Japanese protection of their colony
at Paomachang, outside the city
gates. American officials have
not yet requested similar protec-
ton for the numerous Americans
living at Patachu.
AS a result, some disorders and
looting have occurred in the Amer
lean colony. The property Of Col.
Isaac Newell, U. S. A., retired,
whose home is on Sea Island, Geor-
gia, was raided.

OFFENSIVE MAPPED
While the city shook to a re-

transports continued to disembark
reinforcements in preparation for
an immediate offensive. The new
japanese drive is expected to be

ditions permit the use of mechan-

opening tomorrow night with re-

Madison Square Garden.
RELIGIOUS RITES SLATED
Monday at $50 a. m, the first
meeting Of the convention will be
called to order by Harry w. Col
merry, the national commander.
Governor Herbert H. Lehman and
Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia will
deliver addresses of welcome.
The most colorful event Of the
fourday convention, however, will
be the Legion's annual parade
Tuesday. It will last all day, and
will be one of the most brilliant
and impressive ever staged any
where in the world.
By noon today fully $4,000 le-
gionnaires-and their wives and
children-had arrived, and their
numbers were growing steadily. It
was estimated that by tomorrow
night nearly 100000 convention
visitors will be here.
CROWD INCREASING
The city, bedecked with flags
and bunting, took on colorful as
pect and seemed to throb with new
vitality. Every hotel was packed
to capacity. Even in New York,
the housing n so many legion
naires was somewhat of prob
lem.
They were jovial, good natured
lot-the legionnaires. Most Of
them, now settled business and
professional men and workers in
all walks of life from every State
in the Union, came to meet their
old buddies and have a good time.
But there were others who had in
their minds the serious business
of the convention.

Apparently the little man had for
gotten about the bulge in Inspector
Linton's pocket. He leaped for the
door, simultaneously hurting the bag
at the officers head and reaching be-
meath his own coat. Linton did con-

he fired, but he figured with $500 re-
ward money he could buy himself q

Pottery and Knives Unearthed by

Discoveries made during the excava-

the late Stone Age and its people in
the British Isles. The discoveries were
made by party of archeologists under
the direction of E. E. Evans of Queens
University, Belfast. The work revealed
two large burial chambers, only one in
tact, as the standing stones forming
the side of one of them were removed
long ago. More than 100 pieces of
pottery of the late Stone Age and flint
instruments, such as knives and scrap
ers, were unearthed.

"Yes. I've checked his and other

closely. 1t seems there were people

Fifty miles," unused Linton. At
the moment the job of recovering the
gems seemed remote. Either Beatty
knows exactly where to look for the
gems or he had an accomplice wait
ing to receive them"
A highway followed the railroad
for most of the SO miles. Inspector
Linton drove along it slowly in his
automobile. He kept his eyes fixed
on the railroads right of way. "One
place." he thought, would be as good
as another" Then he fell to medi-
tating on the reward the railroad had
offered for the recovery of the gems
and the apprehension of the thief.

When nearing the farther end of the
detour the inspector noticed by
road that cut down toward the
shore. Acting on hunch, he turned
into it.
THE shack that stood on the lakes
shore appeared to have been long
since abandoned. Yet when Linton
stopped his car he saw smoke coming
from the chimney. He knocked on
the door. There was movement in
side as though some one had been
startled. Another curious impulse
urged Linton to push open the door.
What he saw gave him something of

A small man, dressed in city clothes,
