COUNTY RECORDERS COURT
CEASES TO EXIST DECEMBER 5
To Virtually Clear Docket
by Then, Judge Sta
ton Asserts

Judge R. H. Station, of county
recorders court, today expressed
the opinion that the court would
be able to complete practically all
of the cases docketed and would
turn over very little work to the
superior court when the county
tribunal goes out of existence on
the first Monday in December.
According to an act of the
1887 general assembly, the coun-
ty court here will be abolished
at the end Of the terms of the
present judge and solicitor, Mr..
Station and Arthur B. Shepherd.
Terms of these officers expire on
the first Monday in December.
The court was in session today,
but no session will be held next
Monday, due to the convening of
the November civil term of the
superior court.
The superior court will be in
session for two weeks, but judge
Station said todav that the county
court would convene on Monday,
November %, to complete its bus
mess.
In the event the superior court
is in session, other quarters will
be sought for the county court,
or if it appears that the superior
session will complete its work in
a few days, the county session will
be deferred until later in the
week, Judge Station said.
The county court was estab-
lished about ten years ago. When
first established, it operated with
out a jury. Later a 12-man jury
was established. The court was
then given a six-man jury, and
still later the use of juries was
abolished. .
The act abolishing the court
entirely was passed at the last
term of the assembly on the rec
ommendation of a resolution of
the Henderson County Bar assocl-
alton.
Judges of the court during its
existence have been w. c. Meek
ms, Republican; J. Foy Justice,
Democrat, and R. H. Station, Re-
publican.
Solicitors of the court have
been S. Fl. Anderson, Republican;
W. R. Sheppard, Democrat, and

JAPS IGNORE

THREEPOWERS
Will Pursue "Righteous
Course" Fearing no
Forcible Steps

SHANGHAI, Nov. ID. (UP)-
Japanese armed forces today drove
deeper into central and southWes-
tern China, ignoring parallel dip
lomatic protests from France, Brl-
tain and the United States against
their increasing control of China.
Persons close to the japanese
embassy here described the three
powers representations as an eff
fort to frighten Japan by recall
ing the famous "trible interven-
ton" by Germany, Russia and
France which forced Japan to
forego much of her fruits of vic
tory in the Chinese-Japanese war
40 years ago.
But modern Japan will not be
restrained by "implied threats"
the informants said, and will go
ahead with her righteous course"
The three powers notes were
delivered in Tokyo week ago
and were based specifically on
Japan's refusal to reopen the
Yangtse river to merchant vessels
of the powers. No replies have yet
been made to them and the in
formants said Tokyo probably will
not reply for some time.
Neutral observers believed the
Japanese were confident that Bri-
tain, which was believed the orig
inator of the parallel diplomatic
moves, was not in position to back
them up, with force.
They doubted that the United
States was prepared to go much
farther than last Mondays notes
in associating itself with united
three powers effort against Japan.

ARMY LACGING
DANGEROUSLY
CRAIG STATES
Urges Steps to Enable 1t to
Meet What 1t May
Have to Face !
REPORT BIG FACTOR ::
IN F. RS. PROGRAM
By MACK JOHNSON 9
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. Id. (UP)
Gen. Malin Craig, army chief of
staff warned the nation last night
that the army is tagging danger
ously behind those of other greet
powers and urged prompt steps to
increase its size and improve its
equipment to meet "what it may
be called to face
The warning was contained in
his annual report to Secretary of
War Harry H. Woodring in which
he recommended:
/. Increase the present author
lied strength of 10000 enlisted
men to 10000 during the 1910
fiscal year to meet needs arising
from building up the army's air
corps to its full legal strength Of
1920 planes.
2. Increasing the National /
Guards authorized strength from
205,000 to 100000 men. {
3. Increasing by $4,000 the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps ad-
vanced classes, and expansion of
instruction for organized reserve
officers.
a. Augmenting present anti-air-
craft equipment, anti-tank weap-
onS, mechanical material, field ar
tillery. the new 80 caliber semi
automatic rifle, and seacoast de-
fenses in which serious shortages
exist.
5. Steps to acquire necessary
munitions and other military arr
ticles that cannot be obtained INF
mediately upon outbreak of war.
6. Legislation to relieve stag
nation of officers on promotion
lists, which piled up after the
World war, and permission for re-
tirement of selected colonels with
the rank of brigadier general.
Craig's report is expected to be
potent factor in President Roose-
velt's new broad-gauge national
defense program when it is pre-
sented to congress after January
3. The chief executive has been
scanning the national defense out
look in view of international un-
rest, and is expected to call for
increased outlays for the army
and navy.
General John J. Pershing, COM
mander of the American forces
during the World war, warned in
an Armistice day statement that
the United States must build up
its defenses. Meantime. utility
and government officials are pre-
pairing to put into operation an
integrated power program for ma
tional defense under which the
administration proposes to spend
about S250,000,000 and the elec-
trio companies S1,O00,000,000 in
construction work.
In his report, General Craig re-
called that during the past fiscal
year the army averaged 1000
men but that it will rank only
18th when it reaches full authori-
zation strength of 10000 on
June 80.
"This marked inferiority in
strength suggests that it is all the
more imperative that the arnla-
ment of this force be equal to that
it may be called upon to face"
Craio said. "Here, too, we fall be-

vent such a sentence being i'm
posed.
Tension between the Czechs and
siovaks grew over the weekend
when the Slovak prime minister
announced that Slovakia would re-
fuse to participate in the coming
presidential elections unless the
Czechs first ratify the agreement
reached on October 6 granting
Slovakia autonomy and almost
complete control of its own af-
fairs.
Anxieties of both Czechs and
Slovaks were increased by raid
by 100 Poles into Carpathia on
Thursday which resulted in con-
siderable damage before the in
vaders were forced back across
the frontier by superior force.
