their posts and they have not
been heard of since. This
characteristically rough repudi.
alton of their advice proved be-
yond a doubt that the Red
army was going to wait, because
Stain believes that time Is on
his side.
It is as good as your life is
worth to ask questions in Vladi-
vostock about details of the
army, but finally made friends
with a pilot officer, and obtained
a rough idea of the strength Of
the Far Eastern air fleet. It is,
he declared, larger than the en-
tire japanese air fleet. 1t is, he
declared, larger than the entire
Japanese air fleet, which lists
1000 first-line warplanes. How
much larger?" I asked. Twice
as large" he replied. and al
though he may seem to have
been boasting, information from
every other source indicates
that in truth the Far Eastern
air fleet may number with its
reserves a total of 1000 war
planes.

IN immature the RuSSO-Jap-
anese war has been going on
for three years. During that
period, according to the Off
cial Japanese record, the two
armies have fought 400 engage.
ments. Thousands have been
killed in these fights of which
the world for the most part
hears nothing, and in one case
the Red army claims to have
wiped out an entire regiment of
Japanese.
RED ARMY WATTS
Yet they are not "at war"
and will not go to war until
the japanese army is ready to
strike. The Red army will not
move until it is attacked. This
is the indubitable policy of the
kremlin today. Neither will it
help China except in supplies,
airplanes and munitions in
quantities too small and COM
ing too late to make any real
difference to Chang Kai-Shek,
whom Stain and Marshal Vas
silly Bleucher-Galen commander
in chief Of the Far Eastern
army, have every reason to hate
personally for his betrayal of
the Soviets in 1926.
PROPER TIME AWAITED
The record proves that no
frontier incident" will ever start
the war. It will only begin when
- the japanese are convinced the
right time has come. That time
will come logically, after the
Japanese have finished their
mop-up in China, and have con-
solidated their rear, while it
should come before the Rus
slams complete their second
trans-Siberian railway line, and
before the Red army has re-
covered from what the Japa-
nese believe to have been the
serious eG1ecCS OF the execution
Of the eight Red generals upon
the Red army's morale and
leadership.
If it were left up to the Kwan-
tung army, as the japanese call
their forces in Manchuria, the
war might start today.
STAIN WATTS
In September last year the jap
anese were heavily engaged in
China, fighting for a foothold
in Shanghai and just beginning
to advance in North China. Bo-
gomoloff, the Soviet ambaSSa-
dor to Marking, and General Le-
pine, the Soviet military at
tache, flew to Moscow to advise
the Kremlin that now was the
best time to catch Japan at a
disadvantage, and strike her
from behind while she faced

NEW GAS MAY CUT
FUMES Of BUSES
Transit Firm Starts Year of
Experiment With Fuel of
a Different Type.

Hope for reduction Of the amount
Of gases thrown off by its feet of
motor buses was held out today by
President E. D. Merrill of the Capital
Transit Co. as the concern started
year Of experiment with differ
ent" type of gasoline.
Rejecting suggestions from some ex-
perts that buses should be operated
with certain types of high-test fuel,
Mr.. Merrill advised the Public Utilities
Commission he believed the use of
the different type of straight" gas
oline would result in improvement
I'VE hope he is right" was the
comment of Riley E. Elgen, commits
sion chairman
Mr.. Elgen said the commission still
was receiving complaints about nause-
ating odors in buses, but that the
chorus is not as high as it once was.
Article Raises Question.
The question of the type of gaso-
line used by the transit company was
raised last month by Mr. Elgen after
he had read report of experimental
ton on buses operated by the Worces-
ter (Mass) Street Railway. He called
to the attention of Mr.. Merrill an
article by Payson R. Whitney, in the
May issue of Bus Transportation,
under the title. mo Smoking, Please"
In his discussion of the tests Mr..
Whitney suggested the possibilities of
a saving up to 10 per cent which
might accrue from use of high-test
fuel
Mr.. Merrill, however, suggested that
the high-test gas would not only cost
his firm about SO per cent more, but
that to get the full benefit of gas of
high volatility, it would be necessary
to install high-compression pistons in
a great percentage of the transit
buses.
Letter to Commission.
Following completion of certain
gasoline tests on buses here, Mr.. Mer-
rill wrote to the commission:
1T is my understanding that the
suggestion of Mr.. Whitney in the ar
ticle, No Smoking, Please is to go
beyond the regular types of gasoline
to what may be called aviation gaso-
line, which would cost about cents
per gallon (or about 38 per cent? more
than todays prices for the regular
grade. Mr.. Whitney indicated that
his company could stand 10 per cent
increase in price for such gasoline,
which is apparently only about half
the actual increase in price for the
quality described.
Il believe that sufficient improve
ment in the condition with respect to
odor can be obtained by the changes
in quality which we have in nina,
without the necessity of purchasing
the higher-priced type of gasoline

tendent Of schools and, earlier,
teacher and principal in Southwest
Washington, are answering the ap-
peal Of the Stephen E. Kramer
Memorial Committee seeking to es-
tablish a memorial scholarship at

because Mr.. Kramer was such a
fine man" as we'll as a fine educator
Sergt. Strobel organized the Jeffer-
son Boy Patrol.
Miss Ida Harmed, a mathematics
teacher in Southwest Washington,
also recalled being taught by Mr..
Kramer. She told of his establish
ment of a school library in the days
before school libraries were the
regular thing and Of hiS work in
guidance long before the word was
thought of in its modern educa-

Mexican ChiIdren's Art
To Go on Display Here

1naugurating a series of exhibi-
tions of art work by children Of
other countries, the Children's Fed
eral Art Gallery will present dis
play of paintings and drawings by
Mexican children starting Tuesday
at the gallery, BIG Independence
avenue S.W.
The exhibit, assembled through
the aid of the Mexican Embassy,
which is sponsoring the display, il
lustrates a new trend in children's
art instruction. The paintings and
drawings fall under two headings:
Illustrative work, relating to the
study of history, science and other
school subjects, and creative work.
which allows the child to choose his
own subject.
Attempting to discourage the copy
ing of European art. the Mexican
ministry of education in 1921 en-
ployed well-known Mexican artists,
including Diego Rivera, to promote
the new trend of relating art to life
and to develop creative ability in
children. Open-air art schools we're
started in suitable localities in 1925.
Instruction in drawing and painting
were correlated with that on other
subjects, and the popular arts were
used to raise the level of tastes
among poorer communities.
The illustrative work in the ex-
hibit emphasizes care and accuracy,
whereas freedom is the keynote of
the creative work. which is also char
acterized by range of color and deals
with environmental subjects.
The exhibition will continue
through December 13 and will be
open to the public from to pm.
weekdays and from 10 am. to 5 pm.
on Saturdays.
