Legion Is
Denounced
AsEaSciSt

New York, June u (AP)-The Anne
rcan Legion was denounced as "fas-
cist" and "unpatriotic" today in a
28O-page survey of the veterans or
ganization, published by Teachers Coz
hge of Columbia University.
The monograph, prepared by Prof.
William Gillermann, of Northwestern
University, was released as approx
mately $4,000 educators gathered Tor
the annual convention of the national
Education Association.
Gellermann assailed the role played
by the Legion in the educational, eco
nomic and political life of the nation
and called on school officials to cease
"pandering" to it. Columbia Univer-
sity awarded the Northwestern facuf
ty member a doctor of philosophy de-
gree on the basis of his stury, anc
published the monograph as one OF
It's contributions to education" series
THE American Legion is not an ex-
preston of democracy but rather an
expression of entrenched business anC
military interests, which attempt t.
hlde their true purposes under demo
cratic guise," the survey said. Giller
mann, former Legionnaire, said thu
organization was dominated by {
small group of reactionary leaders too
powerful to be unSeated.
1T is encouraging to observe tina
the average ex-service man is no
now and never has been member o
tue American Legion" he said.

Farm Cash
Income Off
25Percent
Drop Under 1887 In,
Prospect as 1913 8
Marketing Season
Gets Under Way

Washington, June 27-(AP)-Amer-
lean farmers opened their 1898 mar
keting season for major crops this
week with prospects of a cash income
25 percent below the goal set up by
the new farm act.
The goal is an income of at least
$4,000, 100000. On the basis of pre-
sent relationships between farm and
industrial prices farmers would re-
quire that much money, Agriculture
Department economists said today, to
give them buying power equal to thae
of urbanists.
AS movement of the wheat crop
got into full swing, these officials es-
timated the cash farm income, includ-
ing government benefit payments
from January to June, would be at
least $45O,OOO,0OO below that of the
comparable period of 1887. The six
months income for 1888 was estimat-
ed at $3,5O50,OOO, 000
Should commodity prices remain at
about the present level, the income
for the last six months of this year
could not be expected to exceed 81,
5OO,000,O00 making a total or $780,,
100000 for 1888.
Only an upturn in prices and ma.
terial improvement in domestic, as
well as foreign, demand for American
farm products could raise the income
above the estimates, economists said

Valencia, Spain, June N.-(AP)-
Bombs from aerial raiders today
smashed and set afire two more Bri-
fish ships in the ports of Valencia
and Alicante. Several seamen were
killed or wounded.
The first victim of the attacks was
the freighter Arlon, in the harbor at
Valencia. She was set afire, and a

por. ed sinking a mile from the port
of Valencia.

Separation
Planned By

London, June 81 (AP)-A Judicial
separation for American7born Coun-
tess Barbara Hutton Haugwitz+Re
ventlow and her Danish nobleman
husband was believed near compile
ton today.
The Woolworth heiress spent a
busy weekend discussing legal tech
ncalities of the probable separation
and possible divorce with her Danish

In Copenhagen, Bunch Jensen, rep
resenting a legal firm handling the
affairs of Count Haugwitz-Reventlow
disclosed that he had attempted un-
successfully to obtain withdrawal of a
British restraining order against his
client. Withdrawal of the order, OBJ
tanned in London by the countess to
restrain the count from interfering
with her and their two-year- old son
Jensen said, would have been a pre-
Jude to divorce discussions.

London, June 27.--(AP)- Britain
and France have warned Japan to
stay off Hainan island, off the south
China coast, and will act to support
each other in case complications
arise, the government informed the
House of Commons today.
Richard Austen Butler, under secre-
tary for foreign affairs, made the an
nouncement.
Hainan, Chinese territory, is sep
arated by the 15O-mile Gulf of Tonk
ing from French Indo-China and COM
mands the eastern approaches to that
colony.
Butler said "His Majesty's govern
ment and the French government
through their ambassadors at Tokyo
have made clear to the Japanese for
ces and government that they would
regard any occupation of Hainan by
Japanese forces as calculated to: give
rise to undesirable complications
Should any complications unfor-

Payne and Turner
Refuse Statement
AS Plea Is Made

Raleigh, June u (AP)-Bill Payne
and Wash Turner turned aside ques-
tions today as they started what may
be their last week alive, but Wiley
Brice, Negro condemned to be execut-
ed Friday also for murder, talked
freely to newsmen on Death Row.

Caldwell Reports to Con-
vention

Winston-Salem, June q app
Comparing the ancient Roman re-
public with America of today, Leonard
H. Mason, of Centerville, Mass, au-s
thor of World War stories, told the
twentieth annual convention of the
North Carolina Department of the
American Legion here today that the
same arguments FUSED to the Romans
1000 years ago are being used to u.s."
The ancient Roman Empire, he said
disappeared from the face of the
earth because it became too big to be
administered as republic.
At present, Mason said, Americans
hear "our country is too big for the
farmer to grow what crops please
him best; our country is too big for
the business man to make what he
wants and to sell it where and how he
pleases."
eff we have not progressed in g.
600 years to the point where we can
run our own affairs, then of what use
is civilization" he asked.
Commander Hector BLACKWELL, of
Fayetteville, said
1--WE of the American Legion are
seeking definitely, but calmly and
sincerely, to contribute something
worthwhile to the solution of the
youth problem in our State, and when
say youth problem I mean every
difficulty and every barrier that
stands between the youth of our state
and the goal of good citizenship"
J. M. Caldwell, department adjutant
and finance officer, reported "a MEM
bership of 14,153, which, he said was
greater than in 1886.

OPPOSING ARMIES ALONG

Shanghai, June 27.-(AP)- With
Chinese and Japanese forces appar-
emily deadlocked in the Yangtze river
valley below Hankow, Japanese bomb
ing crews today carried out wide
spread aerial operations over south
China
The forts on 1ainan island, just
off the south China coast, were bomb
ed, and the attackers reported Chi
nese shore batteries there were
silenced.
More than 500 miles to the north
east of Hainan the Kwangtung pro-
vince city of Chaochow was lombard
ed. The Japanese said that in this at
tack railway buildings were destroy
ed. Many military observers expect
that the seaport of Swallow may be-
come the point of entry for any ia

ELEPHANT AT
LARGE At FAIR
4 IL Ton Animal Breaks
Chain to Seek More
Seclusion

NEW YORK, Oct. II. (UP)-
Japino, a IL ton female elephant,
broke her chain in a fit of temper
Sunday and numbered about the
Worlds Fair grounds for an hour,
scattering crowds of early arrivals
to the "whirl of tomorrow" ac-
tors benefit carnival.
However, Japino made no eff
fort to modest anyone, apparently
being DESTROYS only of finding a
quiet nook.
John Krimsky, director of en-
tertainment at the fair, sad Japlno
was irritable because she had to
walk nine miles to be present at
the opening of the carnival. She
was chained to a stake outside the
animal and reptile tent.
When one of the balloons in the
tent screamed, apparently it was
the last straw. The elephant
snapped her bonds and trundled
away down a small hill to a serv-
ice road with the loose chain
dangling from her leg. She wad-
died past several groups of per-
sons, who gave her plenty of
room, down the service road,
crashed through a snow-fence on
the Grand Central parkway, and
finally wandered back to the fair
grounds in front of the Worlds
Fair administration building.
Krimsky and two Worlds Fair
patrolmen sought to coax Japino
to come back. When she ignored
them they placed a pail of water
on the lawn and Japino rose to
the bait. The men grabbed her
chain, but Japino jerked away and
stomped out of reach.
Krimsky then ordered an at
tendant to summon the animals
trainer, "Slim" Walker, who was
in Manhattan, and moved the pail
of water to spot close to the flag
pole on the administration build
ing lawn.
Japino was still thirsty and APP
preached the water again. krlm-
sky and the patrolmen seized the
chain ard wound it around the
flag pole, fastening it with large
paddock. When the trainer ar
rived, he decided Japino was I'm
no mood for a carnival and led
her away to a stable.
