Trout Fishing Said
Best In 20 Years

In spite of the drouth in 1886, Min
nesotans and out-of-state visitors this
year enjoyed better trout fishing than
at any time within the past 20 years,
DR.. Thaddeus Surber, state super
intendent of propagation, asserted
last week in talk broadcast by
WCCO.
Speaking Of fishing conditions in
general, DR.. Surber warned anglers
that the time is fast approaching
when 1--WE shall find it necessary to
prohibit the use of live minnows as
bait
Live minnows and other non-game
fish of like character form the bulk
of the food of our game fishes" Dr.
Surber said, land if this natural
food is destroyed, we may expect a
corresponding reduction in the num-
Der of game fish available to the
angler"
Surber said in his opinion the "only
remedy" was greater use of artificial
lures.

International
News Review
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

AS these lines are being written,
deadly war clouds again hang low
over Eastern Asia; there are reports
to the effect that the japanese gov
eminent, refusing to deal with the
central administration at Marking,
the other day presented an ultima
tum to the local authorities at Peip-
ing and Tientsin, and that the Nank-
ing government simply announced
that japanese demands could not be
accepted; there are further rumors
saying that japanese troops are now
facing the 10Th Chinese army, and
that the thunder of the guns has be-
gun.
In whatever saccharine terms Japan
couches its demands-the one central
fact is that it wants North China.
For more than two years it has sought
to penetrate" the five provinces con-
shutting that part of the Chinese re-
public, but until now the attempt has
been although very persuasive, quite
bloodless.
Now two things seem to have hap
pened: One is that Japan is dissat-
isfed with its pacific methods be-
cause they prove too slow; the other,
that the Chinese people are beginning
to realize that resistance to the ag-
gressor must be offered.
Hope for Peace.
There is still said to be hope for
peace-but one must add, while this
is being written, for there is no way
of telling what may happen on very
short notice 1t does appear, how
ever, that the responsible leaders
of both Japan and China are eager
to avert a major clash, but that the
armies of both countries are eager for
the fray. Who will prevail in the
end, no one can tell just now. All
that can be definitely said is that
while the hope for peace persists, war
is yet more than a remote probability.
Perhaps it has started in earnest when
these lines are read; perhaps it has
been averted.
Of one thing the Chinese govern
ment has become firmly convinced: 1t
can hope for not even moral support
from the nations which fifteen years
ago undertook to solemnly guarantee
China's territorial integrity and po-
litical sovereignty. 1t was found
out the other day when ambassador
and ministers accredited from China
to the governments which, signed the
treaty, respectfully reminded foreign
diplomats of their pledge. No an
swer was forthcoming, except from
Secretary of State Cordell Hull-and
what he said might as well have
been unsaid, for it did not change
the situation one whit; he merely,
without even mentioning China and
Japan by name, reiterated the fond
hope of the United States that peace
remain. There was nothing very
startling in that statement, nor any
thing very reassuring; the Secretary
did not say a word about the Amer
lean signature to the 1922 treaty-he
just reminded the Chinese Ambassa-
dor that war in the East might affect
American interests. Which was not
the point, at all!
Fierce Fighting.
While an Asiatic war is a prob
ability, it is very much fact in
Spain where the civil war appar-
emily has entered a new stage of

RIGHT RELEASED CENTRAL ~

Betty might. Just put my supper
out, and you can get off as soon
as you like"
They were out Of the house by
quarter past Z. Tim reckoned
he had just over three hours.
Adams would be the first to re-
turn, at about 20 past 1O-he al
ways stayed at the Goose Quill
till the last possible moment and
then scorched home on his bicycle.
Tim made short work of his sup
per and hurried upstairs. He
found Adams room locked, which
was encouraging-if he was in the
habit Of locking his room before
going out it was probable he had
something important to secure.
And TIN had master key-a fact
he was fairly certain Adams did
not know. He entered the room
and switched on the light.
His heart beating high, Tim
commenced his search. The more
obvious places first; they would
have to be eliminated, and it could
be done quickly. He turned out
the drawers and the cupboards,
unfolded all the clothes, and ran
sacked the pockets of all the suits
he found. There were some let
tiers and papers. Adams evident
ly had the. habit Of accommodating
things in his pockets, and every
thing had to be carefully ex-
amined.
Tim next turned his attention to
baggage. There was an army kit
bag, a small attache case, and a
tin trunk. The latter was locked;
Tim began on the first two. The
kit bag was easy; it was only half
full, and on being turned out re-
vealed only soiled linen, an old
pair Of army boots, some string,
and other miscellaneous junk. The
attache case was quite empty. It
was necessary to examine the
trunk. It was secured by a pad
lock; Tim thought he could file
through it, but the operation
would take time.
However, the clasp securing the
paddock was none too strong, and
after working on it for a few min
utes, using his pocketknife as a
lever, he succeeded in breaking it..
No hope now of concealing his
activities; but if he was successful
he would be able to laugh at
Adams, if he failed he would be
none the worse.
It looked as if the trunk would
take time. There was not much
in it, but the contents were mainly
papers, all Of which would have
to be looked through.
There were letters. There were
a number of newspaper cuttings,
mostly relating to sport. There
was 1.-THE Murphy Treatment-all
