Japan Is In Danger
Of Losing Portions
Of Conquered China
In Many Places Chi
nese Have Already
Re-Occupied Captur-
ed Sections

Shanghai August 2.-(AP)-The
Japanese army is threatened with los
ing effective control of areas captur-
ed since the war began July, 1887, u
survey indicated today.
Continued resistance by the Chi
ncse ambush and surprise offensives
by Chinese communists and irrcgu-
lar armies, the Soviet Russian Japa-
nesc border tension and the need for
available forces in pressing the of
senSive toward Hankow are the rea-
Ions.
Reports from widespread sources
show the Chinese have already reoc-
cupied many districts, sometimes
without fight after tactical with
drawals by the japanese and frequent
ly after the capture of small garri-
sons.
The reoccupations are scattered
however, and the Chinese appear not
yet to have taken full advantage of
the situation. There is some doubt
whether the Chinese can press the
advantage, or whether they must be
content merely to continue to harass
the japanese and interrupt supply
communication lines.
Starting with the initial Peiping
clash, the Japanese during the last
year drove Chinese armies out and
nominaly occupied Hopeh, Shansi,
Shantung, Kiangfu, Anhwei, north
Honan and north Chekiang provinces.
Actually, however, the japanese oc-
cupied only major cities and towns
controlling railways and highways.

Raleigh, August 2.-(AP)-Scores
of Eastern Eorth Carolina citizens at
tended herring here today to oppose
petitions of the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad company for permission 10
discontinue eight branch line pas

The morning testimony was given
by l.. F. Ormond, assistant comptroli-
err of the railroad, on financial details
involving the three branch lines in
volved. The company contends that
after adjustments, it's deficits for the
year ending April 80, 1898, were: For
the Washington to Parmele branch,
with four trains daily, $27,475; for the
Tarboro- Plymouth branch, two trains,

Murray Allen, of Raleigh, counsel

communities, crOss-examined him I'm

Consequence" of VIC

Moscow, August 2.--(AP)-The So
Wet government instructed its charge
d'affailes to Tokyo today to warn
Japan of possible terribly conse-
ouences" of an invasion into Russian
territory, a consequence of the most
serious frontier fighting since the be-
ginning in 1881 of a long series of
boundary incidents.
Foreign military observers had
viewed the current border trouble as
Likely to be only another of indecisive
disputes when it started July IL, but
the large-Scale battle over the week
end inspired a far more serious out
look today.
A Soviet communique said that
more than 400 Japanese were killed or
wounded and 13 Russian soldiers were
killed and SIS wounded. Japanese ver-
sions estimated Russian casualties at
6OO)
Tanks, airplanes and artillery were
utilized (Tokyo dispatches said so
Soviet planes bombed Japanese posi-
tionS), and the fighting centered
about Changkufeng hill, on the Sibe-
rianM Observation-Disclosures border area,
roughly defined and poorly mapped.
Both Russia and Japan claim SOW
ereignty over the disputed territory.
The Russian accounts charged the
Japanese forces invaded Soviet ter
ritory a distance of two and hale
miles before being driven back, but
that Soviet troops did not pursue them
across the Manchoukuo border.
The Russians captured five artil-
ley pieces and ID machine guns and
lost a tank and a field piece. One
Soviet plane was brought down. the
communique admitted, and the pilot
was captured. Japanese listed five
planes shot down, four of them in
Japanese Korea),
Until the communique, there had
been little public mention of the dis

Raleigh, Aug. 2.-(AP)-Dr. Lynn
Ramsay Edminster, of the United
States Department of State, tod
North Carolina farmers today that
reciprocal trade agreements with tor-
eign nations had resulted in doubling
tobacco export ssince 1882.
DR.. Edminster was the principal
speaker at the first joint session OF
the annual farm and home week at
N. c.. State College. Last night well
coming exercises were held with an
attendance of more than 1000 report
ed by officials.
NJ G. Mann, of Raleigh, general
manager of the two largest farm CO.
operatives in the State, spoke on the
need of better purchasing and mar
keting systems for farmers. He di-
reefs the cotton cooperative and
Farmers Cooperative Exchange.
The object of reciprocal trade agree
ments, Edminster said, is to expand
trade with other nations. Surplus pro-
ducts, such as cotton and tobacco,
must be sold in export trade, he said
if the farmer is to get a good price.
High tariffs after the war, which
reached the top in the Hawley-Smoot
BILL" Edminster said, caused seri-
Gus decline in foreign trade. "Our
tariffs caused foreign nations not to
be able to sell their products here,
and as they could not sell, they could
not continue indefinitely to buy. A

Concede Victory To
Senator Clark, But
Compensate w it'll
Magill's Winning

Washington, Aug. 2.-(AP)- The
Roosevelt administration hoped to-
dav to balance the expected renomin-
alton of Senator Bennett Clark. of
Missouri with an overwhelming pri-
mary victory for Senator George
Magill, of Kansas.
These were the only two Democratic
senatorial contests in four statewide
primary elections, which provided few
out-and-out tests of the President s
policies.
Clark opposed the court bill and
various other White House measures,
but administration advisors took for
granted his defeat of two New Deal
supporters because he had the back
ing of both Democratic factions in
his State.
Neither the President nor any of
his lieutenants took any part in the
Missouri campaign. Mr.. Roosevelt did
not even pass through the State on
his western trip.
One of the House contests in Vir-
ginia was fought principally on the
Roosevelt issue. Representative How
ard Smith, rules committee member
who helped delay the wage-hour bill,
was opposed by William E. Dodd, Jr.,
son of the former ambassador to Ger
many.
The PWA today rescinded a ST.

it began wedding out" inactive ap-

The growing controversy over CO
operative medicine brought predic-,
tons from Federal officials that a
broad national health program would
be included next winter in new gov

gram which would cost federal and
State governments $3.50, 100000 a year,
was suggested recently by a presi-
