CHINESE CHIEFS.
CUT OWN DIKES,
JAPAN CHARGES
Desperate Step to Save
Army Is Claimed
BY JAMES R. YOUNG

TOKYO, June II U.N.SO
Denunciation of the yellow River
flood in China as an "atrocity'
perpetuated by "barbarians" and
an appeal to world powers for re-
vision of international agreements
affecting China were voiced by
high japanese officials today.
Foreign Minister General Kazu-
Shge Ugaki, in a statement to
foreign news correspondents,
termed the uine-power treaty,
which guarantees the territorial
integrity of China, "out Of date
in the light Of preSent-day condl-
tionS."
SAYS DIKES CUT
Al the same time, Rear Admiral
KiyoShi Noda, navy spokesman,
charged the Chang Kai-Shek
regime cut the Yellow River dikeS,
drowning some 100000 Chinese,
to save its own army"
Ugaki made a significant bid
to renew Anglo-JapaneSe friend
ship, severely strained by numer-
ous incidents In China since the
beginning of Sino-Japanese hostil-
ites. He said:
I'VE have lad special rela-
tionS with Britain in the past
and we shall do our best to re-
store them and make them ever
closer"
NO CHANGE OF ENJOYS
The foreign minister declared
he thought Signatories of the nine
power treaty on China should ere
consider" that pact.
He categorically reaffirmed pre-
viouS statements, however, that
Japan has no territorial ambitions
in China, and even went so far as
to say he believed in China for
the Chinese"
General Ugaki declared Japan
does not contemplate any change
in its ambassadors at London OF
Washington. He said the govern.
ment appreciates" the action OF
Germany in ordering Chang Kai
Shek's German military advisers
out Of China.
FRIENDLY TO U. s.
He also stated he considered
Americas attitude toward Japan
had become aggravated" but
Japan neverth e l e IS remains
friendly toward the United States.
Admiral Noda charged Chinese

sands of civilian lives by starting
the Yellow River flood as means
of halting the Japanese military
advance on the central front. He
declared the Hankow government
caused the flood merely to save
its own army"

Curfew Ordinance Passed Council
 Monday Mite

 A letter from the First Nation al Bank of Seattle called atten- ton to the bond payments due June 1st and the interest pay ment amounting to $2,000 and in terest $l38O, for a total of $33.80. The council approved the draw ing of a warrant to cover this payment.
 The resignation of Engineer in the Fire Department, Tex Cock burn, was read and upon motion duly passed, was accepted. MT. Coclxburn also submitted bill for $l7 for work done in connec- tion with the pumping of water for use by the McDonald Con- struction Co. last summer, under an arrangement made with that company by the city. After dis cussion as to his claim. the coun- cil voted that it was not a just bill and that the amount was not owing to Mir. Cockburn, because the work was performed in line with his regular duties as Engi- neer.
 Under the report from the Health and Relief Committee, the purchase of $20 worth of medi- cines and supplies for the Public Health Nurse was discussed, and the matter was laid on the table until the arrival of Mrs. Cau- thorne, head of the Nursing Ser vice from Fairbanks, when the matter of the purchase of such supplies would be taken up and the proper payment therefore considered.
 The Finance Committee report ed favorably on the school bud- get for the 1938-39 term, and up- on motion, the council voted to accept same.
 Discussing the condition of the school roof, councilman Bassett of the finance committee report ed that after securing the advice of an expert construction man, it is believed it would be to the ad- vantage of the city to await the arrival of the first boat when it was understood several profess sional roofing men would be here At the present time, primary

Imagine the chagrin of the un- derclasHnen when they arrived at school Tuesday morning and found that the bird had flown the Seniors had "snuck". They immediately proceeded to shatter the Seniorless peace and quiet with songs, a snake dance thru the gym and grade school rooms, and other noisy celebration of the Seniors absence. Meanwhile. the
 graduating class were off for a day of picnicking. Deserting their cars at the end of the "navigable" part of the Sunset road, they hik- ed over to Penny River and spent the day eating, hunting, and tar get-practicing.

The Detroit owner then expanded
on the perfect setup that pro foot
