In loving memory OF our dear father,
John L. Murphy, who departed this
life. December 2l, 1886:
Two long years ago today,
One we loved was called away
God took him home. 1T was his Will
But in our hearts we love him still
With the Saviour. father and mother
are waiting
In the upper garden fair
They are watching for our coming
There will be no parting there.
l often sit and think OF you
When am all alone. for no one knows
The tears / shed for you and mother
Days OF sadness still come over me
Tears Of sorrow still silently flow
For memory keeps our dear father near
Though heaven claimed him two years
sadly missed by sons ana Daughters

Fortunately, in spring, summer and

when winter comes in the Barcelona

CHALLENGE F0UND]
IN HITLER SPEECH
Diplomatic Quarters Here
Expect Intervention
at Any Moment.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

ny CONSIANTlNE BROWN.
Omcial and diplomatic circles in
Washington consider Adolf Hitler's
speech yesterday as challenge to tho
European powers which are morally
or otherwise supporting Czechoslo-
vakia. These quarters believe that
the situation in Europe continues to
be at least as critical as 1t was last
week and German Intervention may
be looked for at any moment II dis
turbances continue In the Sudeten
districts.
It IS known here that the Prague
government is determined to suppress
disorders with q strong hand. Presi-
dent Eduard Benes and Premier
Milan Hodza have issued instructions
to the local authorities to use armed
forces without hesitation to prevent
spread Of disturbances in any quar-.
ter Of the republic.
Sudetens Exhilarated.
In the meantime the Sudeten Ger
mans are in Q state Of fanatic exhila-
ration. The assurances they received
that the entire German Reich with
its formidable military machinery is
behind them has further increased
their enthusiasm to break away from
the Prague government. This enthusi-
asm is further increased by Hitler's
agents-mostly Czechoslovak citizens
who urge the other Sudeten Germans
to break all ties with Prague because
Der Tag" has arrived and it Is now
or never"
Because OF the determination Of the
Benes government to prevent any dis
orders and the eagerness of the Sude-
tens to break away from Czechoslo-
vakia. serious developments are ex-
pected within the next few days. Hit
Ter disclaimed any intention Of in
vading Czechoslovakia last June apd
added that not single German SOL
dier had been added to the then ex-
isting border garrisons. But he kept
silent about the present military prep
arations. According to reliable re-
ports received here in the course of
the last week it appears that for
midable Germany army, the Reich's
best, is now concentrated all along
the German-Czechoslov border. An
important concentration Of aviation is
equally reported and all these forces
are only waiting for the fateful signal
from Berchtesgaden.
German Staff Confident.
The German general stafY appears
convinced that it can take care of
any situation, regardless OF where and
when 1t may arise, and the inevitable
Intervention Of Russias air forces
does not seem to worry them unduly.
Rightly or wrongly, the Germans seem
certain that the Soviet aviation Is
more for show than action.
On the diplomatic front 1t Is re-
ported that Britain is still endeavoring
to prolong diplomatic negotiations on
the assumption that the longer overt
hostilities can be avoided the greater
the chance to have peace in Europe.
This point Of view is not entirely
shared by the French government,
which takes a much more serious view
OF the whole situation after Hitler's
speech Of yesterday and his reference
to Germany's magnanimity Of not
claiming any longer the lost provinces
OF Alsace-Lorraine. But both Pre-
mier Edouard Daladier and Foreign
Minister Georges Bonnet are deter
mined to play along with Great Brit
ain as long as necessary.

CHINESE BEAT BACK
JAPANESE ATTACKS
Severest Battles Fought Around
Teian, Kiukiang.Nauchang
Railroad Point.

3! the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI. Sept. 13-Sanguinary
fighting ragged along the entire mid
China front today as Chinese troops
stubbornly repulsed repeated japanese
attempts to break through defenses on
both banks Of the Yangtze River.
The severest battles were near Teian,
Kiukiang-Nanchang Railroad point
where the Japanese offensive long has
been stalemater, and at Kukinshan
Hill, where the Chinese blocked the
invaders advance toward the vital
Peiping- -Hankow Railroad.
Eight Japanese warships bombarded
fortitcations At Matow, but Chinese
reports said they were forced to re-
tire after 4 three-hour gun duel with
shore batteries.
Other Chinese dispatches related
that the Chinese recaptured Wenhsien,
on the north bank Of the Yellow
River and so miles northeast Of Lo-
yang.
The reports said 400 Japanese were
killed and 20 prisoners and field
guns were captured in that engage
ment. which relieved pressure by the
invaders on the Lunghai Railroad.
