the star itself, which excites the
electrons of their atoms. This re-
suits in light very different from
ordinary starlight. It is concentrated
into numerous bright lines or bands
with dark absorption borders on the
edges of the shorter wave lengths.
Smaller Gravity Force.
While there are many aspects OF
these peculiar stars that remain
obscure" said DR.. Beals, there is
definite evidence that the force of
gravity at their surface is smaller
than for other stars OF equal tenn
perature. The relatively small value
OF surface gravity makes it easier for
gases to escape from their surfaces,
and owing to their high tempera-
lures that force Of light pressure is
great enough to eject great numbers
OF atoms with high velocity into
space.
AN interesting recent development
in the study of these stars is the
demonstration of a remarkable SIM
ilarity between their physical char
acteristics and those of the unusual
class of stars known as novae. A
nova is faint star which increases
in brightness many thousand times
and then within few months re-
turns to its former faint luminosity.
In the earlier stages of a nova out
burst the stars increases in diam
eter until it is of the order of 100
times that of the sun with a tempera-
ture Of 10000 degrees. This is ap-
proximately that of a supergiant
star. Later it passes successfully
through phases where it resembles
the P Cygni stars and the Wolf
Rayet stars.
Nov in a nova these successive
phases last only a few days, or weeks
at the most. These stars appear to
be stable and permanent. It is DOS
sible that the occasional nova may
follow an unusual course and find a
position of equilibrium at a phase
which is unstable for most novae.
Two known P. Cygni and several
Wolf f-Rayet stars are known to be
old novae."

Military Activities

Soviet Air Raids
Monchukuo Requests

Protest to Moscow

HSINKING, Manchukuo, July 10.
japanese Protected Manchukuo
asked today that the Japanese gov
ernment protest directly to Moscow
against recent Soviet Russian air
raids on Manchukuo railway CEN
terS.
Previous protests have been sent
by Manchukuo to the Russian pro-
tected Outer Mohgolian government
at Ulan Bator, with no apparent ef-
feet. japanese believe that some.
If not all, the raiding planes are
based in Outer Mongolia.
The japanese Army in Manchu-
kuo reported that unusual military
preparations were in progress across
the entire 5,0O0-mile extent Of ST.
IBERIA, from the Ural Mountains to
Vladivostok
OF more immediate concern to the
Japanese command was a large
Soviet Mongol concentration north
and south of Nomonhan Hill, on
the disputed Manchukuo-O Outer Mon
golia border.
Fighting Continues.
Fighting was said to continue In
the Nomonhan sector after two in
vading Mongol units were repulsed
Monday. Other Mongol troops may
have entered Manchukuo north of
this battle zone where no Japanese
troops were stationed.
The border warfare between
Soviet-M -Mongolian and Japanese
Manchukuoan forces had developed
into an extremely serious situation,
japanese officials said.
Officials were awaiting a formal
Mongolian reply to protest against
Soviet air forays into Manchukuo
before determining their course. It
was believed officially that the
severity of the protest would hasten
Soviet response.
In Toxic an emergency meet
ing of the f1ve-man inner cabi-
net received full report of the
alr raids and the government
apparently was taking a grave
view of the situation, War Min
lister 1t. Gen. Seishiro Itagaki
was said to have asked the emer-
gency session with the Premier,
finance, foreign and navy min
isters)
The authoritative source declared
the japanese Army, not Toxic, would
determine what steps would be
taken. He said the situation would
result either in diplomatic negotia-
tions. probably at Moscow. or in
Japanese reprisals for the bombing
raids.
Retaliation Threatened.
The Manchukuo protest was
against a raid on Furoruji, about
400 miles from the Outer Mongolian
border. The protest threatened re-
taliatory bombardment of Russia's
Siberian base of Blagoveschensk
and was followed by new Soviet
aerial attack on the railway center
of Halunarshan.
The source pictured events as
leading, possibly, to second Rus
sian-Japanese war, in which the ad-
vantage would lie with Japan if it
started within a year because the
best Japanese troops are assembled
near the Soviet border, whereas So
Wet troops there are mainly re-
cruits

test were not cOnciliatOrV a hattie

cisive influence" on the situation

many.
The conservative newspaper Gas
wrote that Gen. Ironside repre-
sents in a way not only Britain, but
also France, in that the purpose of
his visit is to coordinate military
strength"
10000 on War Footing.
Through all editorial comment ran
a strong note of pride in the Polish
Army. which has had some 5000
men on a war footing for almost
four months during tension over
German demands for annexation Of
the Free City of Danzig and a right
OF way through Pomorze (the Polish
CORRIDOR.
Polish officials say the country
could place 2,000. 900 men between l8
and IS in the field, with another
1000, 900 in reserve.
The important question is how
Britain would fulfill her pledge of
assistance If Poland found it neces-
sary to defend her independence.
It was believed Gen. Ironside
would discuss the possibilities of
offensives on other fronts and
their coordination with Polish de-
fensive movements.

George H. Large Dies at 8S; Played With Rutgers

Remington, N. J., Aug. 15-(UP) -The last player in the first foot ball game died today.
 George H. Large was 88 when death came to him today, but his lifetime spanned the only two vic- tories that the Rutgers football team ever won over Princeton. The first one was in 1869. The second one was in 1938,. and Large was among the spectators when the little Rutgers brought about the big upset of last years season-a 20 to IS vic- tory over Princeton.

 There were 25 men on a side and the idea was to kick the ball toward the goal. Large was picked by the Rutgers captain to be one of the 2t and he. along with his teammates put on red bandana handkerchief to distinguish them from the Prince ton players.
