bility Of Russian Intervention as seri-
ously endangering the Japanese mill
tary operations In China.
10000 Japanese In China.
For the time being there are some
100000 Japanese troops on the
Chinese mainland. They are dis
tributed rs follows: 100000 men in
Manchukuo and Jehol, some 100000
men in Northern China and the bal
ance in the Shanghai area.
The dispatch of this formidable
army has reduced the Japanese re-
serves to small force. There are at
present in the Japanese islands not
more than about 10000 available
troops. 1t is probable that several
new classes will be called shortly, but
despite the tremendous preparation Of
the Toxic government for this new
war. 1t is said that the necessary war
equipment for several hundred thou
sand fresh reserve forces is not ready
yet. The arms and ammunition fac
tories are working overtime, but a
good deal OF the new supplies must
be sent to China to replace the losses
which the army is suffering now.
The Russian Army in Siberia is be-
lieved to amount to some 100000
troops and between $50 and 1000 air
planes.

TOXIC IS DRAF TING
REPLY ON TREATY
NIne-Power Pact to Be
Denounced as Obsolete.
Shares Fall on EXCHANGE.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, October 8.-The Japanese
foreign ONCE announced today that
the Imperial Japanese government"
was drafting . formal statement OF
Japan's attitude on her condemnation
BY the United States and the League
OF Nations for violation Of the nine
power treaty guaranteeing Chinas
territorial integrity.
Reliable sources indicated japan
would denounce the treaty as obsolete
and 1napplicable in the present emer-
gency. Japan, these sources implied,
would refuse to participate in any
conference Of the treaty signatories.
These are the national senti.
ments," the foreign ONCE spokesman
said. He declined, however, to say
whether the governments answer
would be dictated by national senti.
ments. The time for issuing the state
ment was not announced, but it was
expected tonight.
The Toxic Stock Exchange, which
had been thrown into CONSERVATION
by President Roosevelt's speech advo-
eating concerted action to "quaran.
tine" aggressor nations, opened slight
ly stronger today. Certain shares
usually considered barometer slipped
or points, however.
At the same time the army declared
In communique that Chinese losses
up to October S in three months of
undeclared war with Japan totaled q
quarter million killed and wounded.
The communique said the number
OF Chinese bodies counted in the
Shanghai area was 56,767, and this
did not represent the total Chinese
losses on that front. The japanese
had captured, the communique added,
$50 prisoners, 482 machine guns and
3,147 rifles.
The Japanese press in editorial com.
ment on the American condemnation
sharply warned the United States to
continue her neutrality.
Miyako declared, 1T is liable to dis
turb peace In the Orient, giving rise
to world conflict" while Hochi
warned, ANY attempt by various
powers to bring concentrated pressure
on Japan must be repulsed with vigor."

BY CONSIANTlNE BROWN.
Ofhcial and diplomatic quarters In
Washington expect dramatic develop

king within q week.
Hitherto the Soviet government has
been careful not to show its hand.
Arms and ammunition-especially air.
planes-have been dispatched to the
Chinese Armies fighting in the north.
The quantities delivered were insig-
nificant and were considered more as
a token Of goodwill than anything
else.
Reasons for Discretion.
The Soviet government had to keep
q measure OF discretion for several rea-
sons:
% The preliminary agreement of
last September between the emissaries
OF the Marking government and those
OF Moscow was not clear enough. I'M
portant questions had to be elucidated.
This has been done now.
CD There was belief In Paris and
In London that Germany, and espe-
cially Italy, might be induced to with
draw their moral assistance to Japan
and Moscow was advised by Paris to
keep out Of the Far Eastern embroglio
for the time being at least. 1t was
believed in Europe that the clearing
OF the Mediterranean situation might
dishearten Japan and some peaceful
solution Of the Sino-Japanese conflict
might be found.
U. S. Attitude Clarified.

thrown his hat into the ring. The

Government was not clear to Moscow
despite the evident sympathies Of the
Government toward the Chinese.
America, in the event Of a Russian
active intervention In the Far East,
was to be one Of the principal sources
OF supply for war material OF the So
Wet Republic.
The attempts to purchase naval ma
terial and heavy guns in this country
had been unsuccessful. The State
Department vetoed the sale OF 16-inch
guns for the U. S. S. r. navy.
This decision was reversed q few
days ago and the Russians can now
rely on the United States as a supply

Ofhcial quarters expect an active

RARE L0H0N PLANT.
IS ON WAY TO j. S.
Fruit Found by Chinese to
Be Valuable as Cold
Preventive.

A mountain plant whose fruit the
Chinese find valuable preventive OF
the common cold and q trusty con-
trtbutor to virility Is on its way to the
United States.
The lohon, grown by semi-civilized
hillmen in remote Kwangsi, South
China province in the same latitude
as the Florida keys, was obtained by
DR.. G. Weidman Groff, leader Of the
National Geographic Society -Lingnan
University expedition to Kwangsi, it
was announced today
The expedition was inspired by the
2o-year efforts of the late DR.. Frederick
V. Coville, Agriculture Department bot
anist, to obtain herbariun specimens
OF lohon 50 he might classify the plant.
DR.. Groff has leaves, blossoms and
fresh fruits of the lohon with him
IN Canton, the nearest large city to
the wild Kwangsi land He will bring
them here soon.
Few searches for gold or precious
stones required such patience or were
attended by such hardship as the hunt
for this plant.
1t is cultivated only in small patches
on steep mountain slopes under semi
tropical conditions, never much less
than 1000 feet above sea level, and
is trained on rough arbors of sap
lings about eeet high.
Shy, superstitious and suspicious
aboriginal tribes, most OF whom had
never before seen a white man, were
found caring for the plants, Dr.. Croft
reported.
Despite their isolation, the lohon-
raising tribes use a highly developed
horticultural technique, DR.. Croft
found. They not only train the vines
or arbors in such 4 way as to avoid
too much shade for the fruits but
they fertilize the flowers Of the bear
ing plants by hand pollination.
In dried form the fruit is an i'm
portant Chinese household remedy,
sold in Chinese herb and medical
shops throughout the world. Men Of
science of the Western World have
not determined its medicinal value.

Mussolini's reply to the volunters-in-
Spain question fails to equal Anglo
French requirements.
Last Overtures Hinted.
1t was generally agreed in diplo-
matte circles in London and Paris that,
if Italy's answer appeared the least
bit conciliatory, one last effort might
be made to induce Mussolini to act
swiftly in getting down to Z discus
sion Of the problem of withdrawing
foreigners from Spain.
But if the reply were held unac-
ceptable-and there was reason to be-
lieve the note, As forecast by Musso-
lini's newspaper this morning, would
not be accepta ble-the time for further
appeals and protests would be consid-
cred past
Then France would be almost Ger
tain to insist on immediate opening
OF the Pyrenees so arms, munitions
and airplanes could be transported to
the Valencia governments step to
which Britain would not object.
Lifting by both France and Britain
OF the existing ban on the export Of
arms to Spain would seem a logical
sequel.
The Italians, it was generally be-
lieved, would then speed up ship
ments to Generalissimo Francisco
Franco, the insurgent leader. and Eu-
rope almost inevitably would be faced
with the peril Of seeing an arms race
to supply both parties to the civil
war.

Eagle Rank Sought By Megin, Charbonneau
 and Dwyer

Three applications for the rank of Eagle scout were received on behalf of Fred Megin of troop 2, First Methodist church, Arol Charbon- neau of troop 13, Sacred Heart church, and James Dwyer of troop 25, American Legion, at today's meeting of the council committee for scout advancement in the Uni- versity club rooms at the Elton.
 Herbert s. Root, chairman of the local council committee, said appli- cations will be Shelved and that a date for a review of the applicants will be announced in the near fu- ture.
 This is the first time since Jan- uary that any local boys have achieved the 2l merit badges which must be awarded before application can be made for Eagle rank. At that time two were awarded and prior to that five were given out in May, 1886.
 The record SO far this year, for January, February and March, shows a decided increase in the number of scouts who have received awards as compared to 1886. There

Can you picture Grace Moore singing Minnie the Moocher, ' with appropriate gestures? You don't believe 1t? Well, trot right over to Warmers Strand theater where her new picture, When You're In Love-" opened this aft ernoon and take a look. Take a few looks-it's one of the best films you've ever seen!
 To call 1t gay. gorgeous, giddy, and generous with Miss Moore $ lovely voice would be insufficient. It is one of the happiest affairs that Hollywood has ever produced, giving you a Grace Moore whom you'll fall in love with all over again.
 Besides swinging Minnie" the opera star beautifully renders such masterpieces as Schubert's "Seren- ade,". "One Fine Day" from Mad anne Butterfly" "Siboney," "Vissie Darte" from La Tosca," the Waltz Aria" from Romeo and Juliet, and "In the Gloammg." All these besides two excellent new popular numbers by Jerome Kern, Our Song" and "Whistling Boy.''
 Miss Moore is perfectly support ed with a grand story by Robert Riskin of MT. Deeds" and Tt Hap pened One Night" fame. Cary Grant is just right as hard-drink- ing American artist, while other roles are dealt with Skilfully by Aline MacMahon, Henry Stephen son, Thomas Mitchell, Catharine Doucet, Luis Alberni and others.
 On the same program is Victor McLaglen and Preston Foster, to- gether again in Sea Devils" a drama of the Coast Guard Service.
