Mrs. Dennis Chavez, wife of the
Senator from New Mexico, got
back her $500 diamond,studded
wrist watch today. Return of the
valuable piece of jewelry, Capt.
William S. Orthman Of the Capitol
Police said, was made possible
through a picture of Mrs. Chavez
and a story published in yester-
days editions of The Times.
The watch was found Monday
by Policeman Virgil Healy, veteran
of % years on the Capitol force,
outside an entrance to the Senate
"Healy turned in the WATCH"
Captain Orthman said, "and We
had several inquiries from per-
sons who claimed the piece Of
jewelry, but none could give an
adequate description Of the
watch and we were very careful
who we turned it over to.
Yesterday the secretary of
the Senate noticed the picture
of Mrs. Chavez and the story in
The Times. He called my atten-
tion to it so I phoned Senator
Chavez. He gave me the num-
bers Of the watch which his wife
lost, and they check with the
watch that was found. I turned
it over to him this morning."

Speaking of the decision of the Boston American

PEIPING, Jan. IA G.N.SO
Speedy recognition of the Pekine
provisional government as China'I
ruling regime by Manchukuo wa'
predicted here today by Chuich
Ohashi, Manchukuoan privy coun
cilor now visiting this city.
"As soon as the Peking pro-
visional regime emergeS as the
formal government of China,
. Manchukuo will extend de jure
recognition, he told Interna-
tional News Service.
Japan is aware that Man
chukuo and China are separate
nations, and will never COM
bine them. Certainly Japan
will never restore Emperor
Kang Teh of Manchukuo to
the dragon throne of China"
Discussing possibilities of &
Soviet-JapaneSe conflict, OhaSh
stated:
Whether a Russo-JapaneSe
war comes depends upon Euro
pean factors. Japan will never
resort to aggression for a war
with Russia, but is fully pre-
. pared.

dent that internal Russian

IL. S., Britain Join
| In Naval 'Parade,'
Challenging Japan
Warships Sent to Demonstration at
NeU Singapore Base
By ROBERT G. NIXON

International News svicel
The worlds greatest naval powerS-the United states
land Great Brtan-oday determined upon of joint
action in the Far East if forced either nation by
.Japan's unchecked aggression in China.
The Washington times., 1938-01-14

WARNING TO JAPAN
OF far.reaching significance, the
parade of naval might is consid-
cred a. direct challenge to Japan
to tread warily henceforth where
American and British rights in
China are concerned.
In surprise mvoe which had the
personal approval of President
Roosevelt, the Navy Department
late yesterday suddenly ordered a
squadron of light cruisers-the
Trenton, Milwaukee and Memphis
to participate in British naval
exercise at Singapore, February IA.
The squadron, with the heavy
cruiser Louisville, is now west OF
Hawaii en- route to Sydney, Aus
tralia, to engage in the celebration
commemorating the founding Of
the Australian commonwealth,
scheduled for January 26.
FRANCE TO JOIN
The sudden action cut short the
stay of the cruiser squadron, eX-
Icepting the Louisville at Sydney.
Instead Of remaining in Australian
waters for several weeks, the three
light cruisers will visit Sydney only
three days, then speed northward
across the Equator on the 5000
mile Today jaunt to the newly
completed Singapore base.
While only skeletonized Amer
ican cruiser squadron will partici-
pate in the demonstration, the full
might of Britain's Far Eastern
fleet will be assembled.
On top of this. it is understood
Frances Asiatic fleet, recently re-
inforced by a squadron of cruiS-
ers and destroyerS from the Med
iterranean, also will participate.
Dutch warships from the Meth
erlands East Indies have been in
vited.
Thus four-power front Of ma
tions vitality interested in the Far
East will be assembled as a grim
reminder to Japan that she has
gone far enough in her imperialis-
tic designs in the Far East.
The significance of the decision
of the two great powers to join
in Far Eastern naval demonstra-
ton is of the utmost fundamental
Importance, International News
Service learned.
TIME SIGNIFICANT
1t comes at a time when Japan
has been making definite, delib-
crate steps to take over the control
of the International Settlement at
Shanghai, an area set aside by
China for the express use of for
eign treaty powers, a foreign city
in effect in which Japan has no
more rights than the United
States, Britain or France - and
at a time when Japan, through its
drive at Canton, threatens to wipe
out economically Britain's strong
hold at Hongkong and Frances
routes into south China through
Indo-C China.
The naval might on display at
Singapore will not be great in COM
Iparison to the japanese navy, the
third largest afloat.
COOPERATION EVIDENT
The deep significance lies, &C.
cording to competent foreign au-
thorities here, in the demonstra-
ton of willingness on the part
of the United States, Great Brit
ain and perhaps France and the
Netherlands, to cooperate in op.

Gay Premiere
For Keith's

Tonight at 8, RKO Keith'S
is to have a special advance pre-
view showing of the first picture
made in Hollywood by the
French star. Danielle Darrieux,
"The Rage of Paris"
Having established herself as
a top-ranking star in her native
France Mile. Darrieux proved
sensationally successful in this
country in the French made
"Mayerling." It was the natural
result that Hollywood should
reach out and secure this tai
ented and beautiful star.
Every advance report has 1t
that Hollywood, incidentally,
has made a very excellent job
in producing THE Rage OF
Paris" It gives Mile. Darrieux
an excellent role, that of a
French girl in New York both
broke and out of a job and then
finding the much-coveted job
to pose in the nude for a great
artist-she is so overjoyed she
gets the wrong address ending
up in the executive offices of an
advertising agency and there
starts the disrobing-with all
sorts of fast, furious and laugh
able situations developing as a
result thereof.
Produced by Universal, that
company has given the French
star an excellent supporting
cast headed by Douglas FAIR
banks, jr., and with Mischa
Auer, Helen Broderick and Louis
Hayward.
For the opening night a dis
tinguished audience is antici-
pated, including the French am
bassador and others from the
embassy as well as others Of
Washington's official and. social
life.
