INVADERS PROGRESS
 DOWN YANGTZE RIVER
Spanish Insurgents Blasting Government Lines on
 Western Front
(By Associated Press)

Japanese forces have advanced up the Yangtze River to within 150 miles of Hankow, while in the Spanish war, Insurgents are re- ported to have battered the Gov- ernment lines in the Sarrion sector on the eastern front.
 The Japanese gain has given the invaders possession of the Hukow gateway to Lake Poyance and plac- ed them in position to continue the advance on the Provisional Capital by river or make a land and water detour to the Southwest.
 Diplomatic tension between France and Japan appears likely as the result of the French occu- patton of Paracel Island in the South China Sea, about 150 miles southeast of the Chinese Island of Hainan, which the Japanese are reported planning to seize.
 Reports from Tokyo state the Japanese Foreign Office is studying the situation with great care. It is believed in Paris that Japan might protest to the French Foreign Of- flee. It is said the occupation of Paracef Island Is routine police matter by the French colony in Indo-China which claims jurisdic- ton.

ture Roosevelt himself will

The Inquirer had this to report
from it's Washington bureau:

with President Roosevelt shortly

told neWSpapermen he was con-
fident the President would take

extensive and dangerous, the island
men united with state agencies in
drive on the beaver clan.
Greatest danger is caused by home
making activities. The beavers gen.
eral procedure is to select spot at
the low water emark and build tun-
mel. Then they work upward and in
ward soon completing den as large
as an ordinary bedroom.
With the coming of spring and the
usual high water caused by melting
snow, weakened levees often collapse
under the added pressure. And the
work of the government-protected
beaver is recognized as contributing
menace.
Efforts are now being made to trap
the beavers alive and transport them
to higher elevations where their home
building and extra-curricular activi-
ties will aid-or at least not interfere
with--man's effort to extract livell-
hood from the soil.
