While the Japanese war council
constituted the center of diplomatic
events, military happenings had their
center in the province of Shantung
which two more or less parallel-mov
ing Japanese armies were trying to
cut off from the rest of China. 1t
appears that Field Marshal Chang

Naval Demonstration.
Among western powers there is
fear that the japanese may go too
far in China. That would be bad
for the commercial interests of those
powers, so Japan is to be shown what
may happen-''just in case" This
is the thought back of the announce
ment that parts of the British and
the American fleets, possibly sup
plemented by the French and the
Dutch, will arrange demonstration
at Singapore early in February for
the purpose of proving to Japan that

Spanish Civil War.
During the last few days the Span

cause, seemingly, the fate of besieged
Madrid hinges on the fate of Teruel.
One learns, however, that General
Francisco Francois rebel troops are
preparing to make another desperate
attempt to once more raise their flag
over the city, but at the moment of
writing, relative peace obtains. Either
the soldiers of both armies areas
has been indicated in some of the
bulletins-pretty tired or they are
awaiting reinforcements to resume
the fighting with all the more energy.
Foreign powers seem to have lost
their interest in the Spanish civil

been any reports to the effect that
they are trying to stop it by diplo-
matte or any other form of interview

French Circle.
If you can apply geometry to
world history, French political life
during these last few days has been
moving in a circle; that's a pet claim
of many historians, anyhow-the the
DRY that history is cyclical.
Shortly before Christmas there was
public utilities strike in Paris; it
was crushed by the Camille Chau-
temps government, but soon there
after trouble started in the textile
districts of the northern part of the
country where employers had re-
fused to accede to an order of an ar
bitration court that wages be raised
sly per cent; at the same time, the
foreign-exchange value of the franc
declined disastrously, and the Chau-
temps government, proposing meas
ures to stave off a crisis, went be-
fore the chamber of deputies. It OBJ
tanned a vote of confidence, but dur
ing an Immediately following all
night session, the socialists, forming
the biggest group of the chamber
membership, declared themselves I'M
able to support the cabinet because
of its few communistic members.
During that session the cabinet called
on President Albert Lebrun, inform
ing him that nine of its socialistic
members wanted to quit, so they all
quit in a body.
Since June, 1886, when Leon Blum
formed his Popular Front" govern
ment, comprising socialists, radical
socialists Tin France, radical social
lists are actually the moderates) and
the communists, there had been a
tendency to accept that political con-
glomeration, but now it went to
pieces; in the summer of last year
there was, to be sure, change, for
Chautemps took the place of Blum
but the government was still ''Popu-
lar Front" so it was no change of
system. But now it fell
Then the circular movement
started; President Lebrun called in

he try to reconstruct the government?
He would But-he couldn't! Then
War Minister Edouard Daladier; same
result; then former Premier Albert
Sarraut; he, too, would; he, too,
couldn't. Lebrun then attempted to
interest Finance Minister Georges
Bonnet-former French ambassador
in Washington-in the premiership;
he was willing, but could not get
the support of the socialists and COM
munists, so he gave up. Desperately
then, Lebrun appealed to Blum. Same
result: He could reckon with the
support of the socialists and the COM
munists but not with that of the
radical socialists, so he, also, aban-
doned all attempts. The upshot OF
it was that Lebrun once more asked
Chautemps to head new cabinet,
and that was the last heard when
these lines were being written; the
circle was back at its point of de-
parture.
ASiatic War.

DR.. Absher graduated from medical

I7,,inq the two years of its exist

saving Association of North Carolina,
Chapel Hill, according to the annual
,-a,,ort of Felix A. Grisette, executive

rolled Jointly by the North Carolina

Ina Hospital Association, was releas-
al simultaneously with the annual
meeting of the board of trustees, held
,,ostardav in the executive offices at
Chapel Hill.
The rapid growth of this cooperative
,,nthod of protection against the ex-
npnse Of hospital bills was illustrated

fact that there are now nearly 2,000-
ma neople throughout the United
