On the Ebro river front the civil
war armies are still fighting, every
day, but no decisive results have been
announced; if anything is at all clear

FRANCOIS armies have been checked

Valencia-checked by government re-

War in China.
For many weeks the japanese in
China have stalled in their efforts to
capture Hankow, but this week an
nouncements are made that they
have made progress; not much, but
enough, it seems, to hearten them
at time when they were beginning
to despair at the thought of ever at
tanning their goal. They claim, in
other words, to have advanced dis
tance of ten miles at certain points
on the front, but even if that is so,
they are still, generally speaking,
about 120 miles from Hankow. And
these ten miles have been achieved
only after months of strenuous effort
American Notes.
During the last few days the United
Sf0fnC
strongly worded notes to foreign gov
ernments. One was addressed to
Mexico whose president, Cardenas,
has appropriated American-owned oil
fields in Mexico without offering any
indemnification; he was told that
such things cannot be tolerated; if
he takes the fields, he must pay for
them. And that's that!
The other note went to Tokyo to
protest a japanese shelling and de-
Struction of passenger airplane
piloted by an American and partly
owned by American interests; IA per-
sons lost their lives in this particular
catastrophe. Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull reminded the Japanese gov
ernment that civilian airplanes, trav-
cling in accordance with international
commercial laws, are considered i'm
mune from attack So far the Japan
ese have not officially replied, but
have confined themselves to limiting
that any airplane travelling through
war zone, does so at its own risk; !;
Japan will be cautious, but will not
offer any guarantees. 1t is possible
that this will be the tenor, too, of the
official reply when and if it mater
ializes.

Horse Sleeping Sickness Here.

Several farmers in this community
have recently suffered losses on ac-
count of sleeping sickness ailment
among horses. There had been con-
siderable discussion of starting a
mutual insurance company against
such loss, which undoubtedly would
be a good thing. Such an association
should be started now to become eff
fective for next years losses.
