strong representations to the Japanese
government against the bombing of

series of raids on Canton, great
metropolis of South China, Wednes-

France, Italy, Russia and Germany

Cragie's instructions were issued
after widespread press attacks and
other manifestations against "Japa-
nese barbarians."
One newspaper editor, in the Man
chester Guardian, recalled that the
ruthless hordes of Jenghiz Khan
swept through Asia and Europe,
spreading death and DISSOLUTION.
The editorial said, To-day the Japa-

MUSS0[|N| LEAVES
FOR MUNICH VISIT.
Italian Off by Train to Talk
With Hitler After Huge
Military Show.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, September 24.--Amid 4 gi-
eantic military demonstration Pre-
mier Mussolini left today for Germany
to visit Europe's other powerful fas-
cist leader, Reichsfuehrer Adolph
Hitler.
II Duce drove from Paleazzo Vene-
zia to his special train in closed car
through streets packed by thousands
OF Romans, held behind tight lines
of militiamen.
At the station, thousands more
surged and heaved at the ranks Of
soldiers drawn from every branch Of
the army stationed in or near Rome
Every eye strained for a glimpse of
Mussolini, lashily dressed in the uni
form OF COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
fascist militia.
Italy's premier walked into the sta
tion through the royal waiting room,
accompanied by his closest advisers.
Among them were Count Galeazzo
Ciano, his son-in-law and minister
OF foreign affairs; Dino Alf1eri. min
lister OF popular culture; and Achille
Starace, fascist secretary. They and
others are accompanying him to Ger
many.
II Duce quickly reviewed the detail
OF troops forming an honor guard be-
fore his coach and then boarded his
train. which departed at 1920 pm.
(6:20 Eastern standard time).
A pilot train departed an hour
earlier to insure clear and rapid
passage to the Austrian frontier,
which he expected to reach in nine
hours.
Italian newspapers made much Of
the impending meeting between Mus
solini and Hitler. emphasizing its i'm
portance in international affairs.
Portraits of the two, side by side,
were splashed on front pages along
with editorials stressing the strength
OF the Rome-Berlin alignment.

LONDON, September "a (P. An
authoritative source asserted today
Premier Mussolini had promised
Britain and France he would send no
more volunteers" to Spain, making
possible italian entrance in the Anglo
French diplomatic front and a new
balance of power for Europe
While Britain and France were
keenly anxious to accept Italy's ad-
vances at face value, they could not
help but look for possible snag. A
definite feeling Of optimism prevailed
in foreign Office circles, but it was
tempered by slight suspicion of II
Duces motives in presenting such a
startling assurance regarding Spain.
His sudden willingness to promise
that no further troops should be sent
to aid the Spanish insurgents
Ing on the eve of his departure for
an important conference with Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler of Germany caused
many observers to wonder whether
Italy was preparing some new and
surprising move.
Some British observers-and Rome
dispatches bore this out-were frank
ly considering Mussolinis gestures of
cooperation with France and England
as method of strengthening his DO
sltion to drive a harder bargain with
Hitler.
The authoritative British source
said that Italy had given both Britain
and France definite promise no more
italian troops would 70 to Spain If
the three powers could agree, among
other things, on italian demands for
parity with Britain and France in
the Mediterranean anti piracy accord

RULES RING GAME
AS GARDEN CHIEF
New Lessee Of Big Sports

BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

"A YEW YORK, August 5.-The var
N led destinies OF the cauli-
from the grip Of Madison
Square Garden, which had held them
since the reign of Tex Rickard, to Mike
Jacobs, the man who parleyed Brown
Bomber and punch into the die
tatorship Of the fight game.
Jacobs, in leasing for two seasons
the Garden and its outdoor arena, the
big bowl in Long Island City, assumed
Richards old part as the fight games
No. l promoter. He plans indoor box
ing shows for the Garden this Winter
and next and outdoor fights at the
bowl in 1888 and 1899.
Jacobs, ticket broker, learned the
devious business methods Of the fight
game as Richards partner in the hal
cyon days of the million-dollar gates
and the 600 millionaires. When Rick
ard died Jacobs went back to BOOM
ing brokerage business, and others
tried to fill Richards shoes
johnston May JOIN JACOBS.
ONE OF them was Jimmy Johnston,
who, as matchmaker for the Gar
den, now is a man without a Job
Many believe Johnston, an astute pro-
moter in his own right, will join ia
cobs. He joined Mike once before in
promoting Joe Louis first indoor ap-
pearance in New York a bout with
Pauline Uzcudun.
The shift in power from the Garden
to Jacobs shows once more that the
man who controls the heavyweight
title, by far the richest in the ind.,s-
try, controls big time boxing. Jacobs
picked up Louis when the Bomber al
most was unknown and brought him
East for his first big fight against
Primo Camera Since then he has
sent the champion against Baer
Schmeling, Braddock and others. With
the exception of the Schmeling bout,
Mixes meal ticket has been a winner.
Always Louis has made money.
Will Keep Hippodrome.
WHEN Louis won the title from
.' Braddock, Jacobs preferred on
the sock market hit the top and he
was ready to bargain with Col. John
Reed Fitzpatrick, president of Madison
Square Garden Corp, for the use of
the fight games most famous arena.
He now has the use of the Garden
and the Hippodrome. where he staged
shows last Winter through his Twen-
tieth Century Sporting Club Out
doors he has the Yankee Stadium, the
Polo Grounds and the Garden Bowl.
the three largest outdoor arenas in
New York
Col. Fitzpatrick gave business as the
reason for the leasing OF the Garden.
1T means more money for U.s." said
the colonel. The Garden will collect
"a definite rental fee" and a percent
age on the fights promoted 1T the
Eighth avenue arena.
Jacobs intends to continue the pro-
motion OF sports in the Hippodrome,
with boxing, wrestling and probably
basket ball as attractions.
