ON OTHER JULY 7ths
Murderers have ever fascinated
our greatest writer's, and supplied
plots for classic plays and novels
from SHAKESPEARE to Dresser, and i'm
mortality may await the vilest GRIM
inal if she or he but captures the ina
gination of a poet or novelist.
The name of Charles Thomas Wool
bridge, trooper in His Majestys Horse
Guards, who was hanged in Reading
Goal, London, AZ years ago today, will
live long, because he was the fellow
prisoner immortalized by Oscar Wilde
in the haunting Ballad of Reading
Goal. To this writer, that is the
greatest long poem in the English
language. Excerpts:
never saw a man who looked
With such a wiStful eye
Upon that little tent of blue
Which prisoners call the sky,
And at every drifting cloud that went
With sails of silver by 80.
I only knew what hunted thought
Quickened his step, and why
He looked upon the garish day
With such a wistful eye;
The man had killed the thing he loved
And so he had to die.
Yet each man kills the thing he loves

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today-Czechoslo
kia forces advanced in Siberia, defeat
ed a Red army and took Chita, m
portant point on the Transsiberian
railway.
There was an intense struggle go
ing on in Washington at the timH,
about which the public was allowed
to know exactly nothing, over the dis
patch of American troops to Siberia.
The British had sold President Will
son on the idea of an Allied expedi-
tionary force. Intervention in Sibe-
ria was held necessary, and British
and French did not care to give the
Japanese free hand, hence the idea
of an Allied force.
Peyton C. March, Chief of Staff, pro
tested to the President: "All respon-
sible military opinion believes that
the war will be won or lost on the
Western Front, including Italy: and
that any substantial diversion of
troops from that one object is a seri-
Gus military mistake. We are now
utilizing all available shipping to
transport and supply our troops for
the Western 'front.'
He pointed out a dozen flaws in the
plan, but Wilson already had given
his word to the British, and an ex-
petition that was to cost the United
States many lives, millions of dollars
and loss of previous prestige was
commanded.
March wrote with prophetic vision
t. Tasker H. Bliss, American repre-
sentative on the Inter-Allied Supreme
Council, "The intervention over a
large part of Siberia, of a large Japa-
nese army, raises the question of
when and how they are to be made
to get out. 1 have often thought that
this war =. may be only the breeder
of still more"

NEW ENGLAND HIT
 BY DENSEST FOG

Boston, Jan. 24-(UP)-A pea soup fog so dense that visibility in some sections was limited to 20 feet slowed transportation throughout New England today. The fog had be- gun to lift by mid-morning and the weather bureau predicted it would be clear by night. At Newton High lands, a Skidding Boston to- -Worces- ter bus crashed into two parked cars on fog-bound Worcester turn pike, injurying four occupants. Thirty bus passengers were shaken severely. Busses and trains ran be- hind schedules. Airplanes were grounded. Boston harbor ferry ser vice was suspended.
 In Boston, pedestrians could not see across the street early today and automobiles moved slowly with honking horns. Vapor froze on wind shields, making visibility even poorer. Motorists mounted sidewalks and crashed fences in suburbs. Many became lost. State troopers set out red flares to mark Newburyport turnpike between Newburyport and Danvers as traffic moved at less than 20 miles an hour. Winter sports devotees returning from northern New England were delayed for hours. Three persons died in accidents yes- terday, boosting the weekend toll to eight.

 The Soviet Russian embassy in Hankcw was destroyed by fire, re- portedly started by an explosion. It was the fourth Soviet diplomatic office destroyed or dagamed since the start of the war. The Tiehtsin consulate was raided during the early stages of the war and valuable papers stolen, the Shanghai consul late was damaged in fighting here and the embassy in Nanking was burned after the Japanese occupa- tion.
 In Chungking, another branch capital of the Chinese government, Soviet ambassador Ivan Luganetz- OrelSky presented his credentials to President Lin Sen. T am proud to be the bearer of an important mes- sage which I wish to deliver before anything elSe," he said. "The Soviet has the utmost sympathy for China and wants to see the Chinese emerge victorious in the present struggle for the preservation and existence of independence"
 Japanese Foreign Minister Koki Hirota's peace terms evoked little comment in unofficial circles in Hankow, except that his phrases were considered meaningless in themselves since the Chinese and Japanese interpretations of them. particularly demilitarization and economic cooperation, were miles apart"

 Rome, Jan. 24.-(UP) Bruno Mussolini, 20-year-old son of Pre- mier Benito Mussolini, took off with two companions in three heavily. loaded bombing planes today for South America. The three planes, Savoia 79 model bombers, left Guid- onia airport on the outskirts of Rome at 7:25 a. m. (1:25 a. m. EST) The planes are identical with Ital- ian made planes which bombed Bar celona and other Spanish coastal cities last fall in behalf of the Span- ish Nationalists. Purpose of the flight, aside from testing the ability of the planes, is to enable Italian aviators to study the course across the South Atlantic with the inten- tion Of establishing a regular line between Italy and South America
 Young Mussolini was the last to take of. Col. Attilio .Biseo, Premier Mussolini's personal pilot and com mander of the expedition, was the first to take of. He was followed by Capt. Min Moscatelli. Bruno's father, who earlier had been reported plan ming to accompany him in his own plane as far as the Straits of Mes Sina, was not at the airport. The government was represented official ly by Gen. Giuseppe VaRe, under secretary of aviation.
 It was understood that Bruno had had a difhcult time perSuading his

mother to permit him to make the flight. He glories in his fathers motto, Live Dangerously" and was reported to have told friends: I've convinced my mother this time. She promised that she would not worry too much. We will make it."
 The flight will he made in three laps covering approximately 5000 miles. The first lap, from Rome to Dakar, West Africa, is the most diff ficult. The distance is about 2,700 miles of which 2,000 miles is over the Sahara Desert. The second lap is from Dakar to Natal, Brazil, and the third from Natal to Rio de Janeiro. Biseo said that the planes intended to maintain regular fly ing schedule, like passenger planes. We will not attempt to break any records" he said. "We intend to arrive in Rio at high speed aver age without, however, tiring the crew. We are aRailing ourselves of the regular air services already in existence"
 The planes are the same which won the first three places in the recent Istres-Paris-D Damascus air race. On their fuselages were paint ed three green mice, the emblem of the 18th bombtag squadron. Bruno was said to have suggested the emblem because it ccmes from the Roman expression of daring and courage-"Show the enemy green mice"-meaning fight to the finish. 7

 Shanghai, Jan. 24-UP)-United States authorities plan to reduce military forces in the Shanghai area by one-half within a month, it was reported today. The auxiliary transport Chaumont will leave about the middle of February with the U. s. Marines Sixth regiment, accord ing to the report, leaving about 1,200 marines of the Fourth regiment. Great Britain also is planning to re- duce its Shanghai forces, it was understood. All troops here probably will be transferred elsewhere next month afteh the arrival of between 1,200 and 1,150 replacements it was said.
 There was little news from the fighting fronts with the exception of unofficial Chinese reports that the Chinese had recaptured Mingkwang, about no miles south of Hsuchow in Honan province, and also had re- occupied Liangshsuan, 20 miles southeast of Yenchow. In Hankow, the provisional Chinese capital, high Chinese commanders conferred on the formation of new armies in Anhwei, Chekiang and other north ern provinces. They include Gen Pang Teh-Huai, vice-commander of the Eight Route Communist army, and Sun Lien-Chuang, commander of the 18th Route army. The trial of Gen.

Investigators lacked only minor links to complete their case against the 27-year- old slayer - A northwoods lumberjack who was launched on his crime career by Tombmy Carroll, one time lieutenant for desperado John Dill finger.

STANLEY REED IS
 AGAIN APPROVED
Judiciary Committee To- day Unanimously En=
 dOrsed Him

Washington, Jan. 24-(UP)-The senate judiciary committee today unanimously approved the nomina- tion of Solicitor General Stanley Reed to be an associate justice of the supreme court.
 The action was taken after brief closed meeting at which no objec- tions were made to the nomination of Reed to succeed retired Associate Justice George Sutherland.
 Senator M. M. Logan, Democrat, Kentucky, was instructed to report Reeds nomination to the senate, which is expected to confirm him without delay. At the same time sources close to the White House in- dicated that Robert H. Jackson, aS- sistant attorney general in charge of antitrust activity, is expected to be recommended shortly to succeed Reed as solicitor general.
