Germans Leavino
1ientsin Following
SIaps by Japanese
Swostikos Disappear From
Autos in Shanghai
And Peipine
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Aug 28-Germans
started leaving Tientsin yesterday
as the result of numerous incidents
in which Japanese gendarmes have
slapped German citizens since con-
clusion of the German-Soviet non-
aggression pact.
Repercussions of the Nazi-Com-
munist pact were reported from
numerous other Chinese cities.
Swastika emblems, which got a
friendly japanese salute until last
week, virtually disappeared from
autos in Shanghai and Peipir1g.
Two Possibilities Seen.
Japanese in Peiping were reported
to have received instructions to
cease provoking the feelings Of
whites" and not to stage any further
anti-British demonstrations.
Informed foreigners said, how
ever, that it was too early to predict
what way the Japanese would turn
next as result of the pact. Two
possibilities were seen:
First, a relaxation of anti-foreign
movements, or second, a sudden blow
against all foreign interests in China
designed to prove the Japanese
army's independence of events
abroad.
One source of new Japanese
foreign tension developed with the
demand of the Japanese army news
paper Tairiku Shimpo for surrender
of Chinese soldiers interned in the
International Settlement. The paper
said japanese authorities were
greatly concerned" because 5000
former Chinese soldiers who entered
during the Shanghai fighting in
1897 still were held in the Interna-
tional Settlement.
Rice Shortage Relieved.
Meanwhile an acute shortage of
rice, principal item of the Chinese
diet, was relieved by the arrival of
large rice supplies in Shanghai.
japanese announced they had
brought in about 100000 pounds
over the week end for distribution
to the Chinese. Further shipments
Of 100000 pounds were said to
have been arranged by the Japanese
while Chinese dealers arranged other
shipments themselves.
British authorities made prepara-
tions for the quick transfer Of the
Seaforth Highlanders from Shang-
hal to Hong Kong in event of a
European war. The cruiser Birm-
ingham was made ready at Tsingtao
for speedy run to Shanghai where
a destroyer was standing by to serve
as a transport if necessary.
Reports from Tientsin said the
danger of disease was adding to the
misery of the f1ood-stricken region
where drowning and starvation al
ready were taking their toll. Police
of the International Settlement were
ordered to shoot looters on sight.

Most of the musette bags-pro-

bunch of roses from the other.
As the reservists, all in civies,
passed through the gate tears were
many, but kisses were more. Broth

In nature, since no further re-

shape until Congress reconvenes. The
talk with Mr. Brownlow has no con-
nection with proposed reorganization
Of the District government, 1t was
said.
The President also had two dip
lomatic callers listed. the Minister
of Finland and the American Min
ister to Portugal.
If European war breaks out, a
Government official was quoted as
saying, President Roosevelt will in
woke the neutrality law at the same
time he calls Congress to consider
its revision.
The law places an embargo on
all shipments of arms and ammuni-
ton to belligerents. The admins
tration wants to repeal this provi-
sion and permit sales on a sort Of
"caSh-and-carry" basis.
Hinges on estate of War"
The President is directed to in
woke the Neutrality Act whenever
he finds that a state of war" ex-
lists. 1t has not been applied to the
Sino-Japanese conflict, where no
declaration of war ever has been
forthcoming.
Authoritative sources said the law
might not be called into operation
If there was only lightning" war
between Germany and Poland, but
they expressed certainty that it
would be invoked if the conflict
spread throughout the continent.
Mr.. Roosevelt and State Depart
ment officials have been drawing up
the proclamations by which the act
would be put into effect, and have
supervised long series of prepara-
tions designed to ease the shock of
a European war on American eco
nomic conditions.

slant touch with the British govern
ment, which was keeping him in

the crisis.
The former King was said to be

wartime job. He has long been

New Border Clashes
Reported as Poland
Awaits Decision
Warsaw Sees Mediation
Only Possible Way
To Escape War

~ the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Aug. Fisherman OBJ
servation balloons were reported
aloft over the German-Poli border
today as Warsaw lived from minute
to minute on the thin and fragile
line between peace and war.
The dice have not yet been
thrown" said one morning Warsaw
newspaper, But they may have
been thrown by the time these
words are in print"
Frontier crises were reported from
various districts as nervous strain
found expression in gunfire. A Pol
ish cavalryman was killed.
Polish reports said that Polish
frontier guards and buildings were
being almost continuously attacked
not only with rifles but with ma
chine guns and hand grenades.
The Polish news agency reported
clashes between German soldiers and
Polish frontier guards during the
week end on Poland's frontiers with
East Prussia and Slovakia, where
the Germans have concentrated
large forces.
One German cavalryman was re-
ported to have been killed in an
alleged raid by German patrol on
Polish territory near Dzialdowo, on
the East Prussian border.
East Prussian Trains Running.
Most train, airplane and highway
communications between Poland
and Germany stopped, but, up until
last night at least, there was train
service through the Polish Corridor
to East Prussia from Germany.
Poland remained confident that
the decision of the British govern
ment, which Ambassador Sir Neville
Henderson will convey to Adolf
Hitler, would not in any way be
harmful to Polish interests.
Britain will not agree to a new
Munich" declared headline in the
Express Poranni.
The government Kurjer Czerwony
said: Britain, Poland and France
have already won the war of nerves.
and they will also win the real war,
should Germany commit mad act
and provoke it. but then the terms
Of peace will be entirely different"
View Believed Vindicated.
The opinion was expressed here
that Hitlers demands for taking
over the Polish Corridor, as we'll
as Danzig, vindicated the view that
Germany had further designs on
Polish territory.
The Polish view was that direct
negotiation is possible, arbitration
unacceptable and mediation by a
disinterested and impartial third
party possible.
President Moscicki in his reply to
President Roosevelt's peace message
indicated strongly that the United
States would be acceptable to Po-
land as a mediator.
The pro-government newspaper
Kurjer Poranny asserted in head
lines in red ink that Hitler has
rejected a peaceful understanding
with Poland"
1t declared that I'VE want to
regulate peacefully our relations
with all countries on condition that
they adopt the same attitude. We
were loyal partners with Germany
during the non-aggression pact and
it is not we who have denounced it."

Entirely Independent,
Hull Makes Clear
Country Not Encouraging
Citizens to TroveI
Abroad Just Now

AS official Washington today hope
fully awaited some break in the
tense war situation, Secretary of
State Hull made it clear that this
country's moves for peace in Europe
have been made independently of
any other power.
Secretary Hull, declining comment
on the general European situation,
emphasized that the United States
was not encouraging its citizens to
travel abroad at this time.
The only development at the
White House was the announcement
that President Roosevelt had can
celed a trip to Hyde Park which he
was to have made tonight. Brig.
Gen. Edwin NJ Watson, White House
secretary, indicated that no develop
ments were expected here today.
Secretary Hull said there had
been no suggestions to any other
country in regard to indorsing the
peace messages of President Roose-
velt to Poland, Germany and Italy,
but indicated that such indorse-
ments would be warmly received
here.
Ecuador's President Applauds.
A few minutes after his press
conference the State Department
released the text of message from
the President of Ecuador, praising
Mr.. Roosevelt for his efforts to pre-
serve peace.
The message from Ecuadorian
President Aurelio Mosquero Mar
vaez said:
In this grave hour I adhere to
the new, urgent appeal which your
eXcellency has made to European
countries to seek the necessary solu-
ton of their differences by pacific
means. Whether that noble invita-
ton is accepted or not, your excel
lency will have deserved the ap-
plause of all men who are observ-
ing, with fear, the approach of a
catastrophe for civilization"
Mr.. Hull said this Government
has pursued its usual policy
throughout the present European
crisis in regard to contacts with
other governments. The principal
thing that has been done has been
to notify the other governments
OF American actions after they have
been taken, he said along with ef-
forts to secure information from
other capitals.
Our Advice Unasked.
He emphasized that there had
been no suggestion by the United
States or by other governments
that there should be conferences
or exchanges of advice, with respect
to the rapid developments, adding
that our advice has not been re-
quested by any other government.
This comment was in reply to
questions about reports that the
British and American governments
had been in close consultation.
The Secretary pointed out that if
Americans planning to go to Europe
are disposed to observe the Gov
ernment's policy, particularly in
view of the action of diplomatic
representatives abroad in urging
Americans already in Europe to get
out, they would stay at home.
Aside from the formal luncheon
at noon for the Prince of Luxembourg
and his son, Crown Prince John,
President Roosevelt had few callers
scheduled for the day.

Self Neglect
Never Justified

What mother failed to do Was
this. She neglected herself in or
der to shower daughter with much
much she didn't need When daugh-
ter was at the going-out age, she
saw other mothers who were at
tractive. who could speak on current
topics and books, who were more or
less companionable to their own
daughters. By comparison her
mother fell short. Didn't she? Yes,
the doting mother failed to keep
modern. Her offspring outshines
her.
What these disappointed mothers
should do, now that their daughters
have grown, is to spend much more
time thinking about themselves!
Buy some new clothes. get a new
hair-do and few beauty treatments
if the budget will stand for them
by crossing out daughters ordinary
provisions! Those will restore self
respect.
To restore self-assurance get &C.
tive in something, preferably local,
which will bring you out of the
home into social activity. Read
books. magazines, go to movies. De-
velop a personality-because you
have drowned yours in your daugh-
ter's. Don't blame her. She is
young and youth is ruthless! Win
your own self esteem back and it
will not be long before people will
be saying. Alice should be attrac-
tive and talented, just look at her
mother!"

Be Kind to Fender Skins

Plain soap and water is the most
reliable of all skin cleansers, but
there are some skins that do not
react satisfactorily to this method
of cleaning.
Some women find that when they
use soap and water on the face there
is tendency to dryness and itch
ing. Sometimes slight rash will
appear for a day or so.
Women whose skins react in this
manner should avoid standing under
the shower. and even for the tub
bath il is advisable to cover the
face and neck with cream or vase
line. A generous coat of vaseline
will repel all steam and water
When soap and water are used, 1t
should be at time when there is
no irritation. The water should be
tepid, never hot.
Use a wash cloth or complexion
brush to wash well around the nose
and mouth, as well as the face and
neck. After a few moments re-
move the soap with cool water
rinsing, cover the face and neck with
a towel and pat dry
Then apply good smooth cleans
ing cream-one with a good oil base,
and never the vanishing cream,
which often has an alkali or soap
base. After removing the cleansing
cream, use a good tissue cream.

SAFETY TALKS
Walking on the HighWay

IT'S an art, this walking along
the highway, and not every
body who does it lives to tell about
it afterward. At least a third of
the pedestrians fatally injured in
rural districts are struck while
walking along the roadway, ac-
cording to figures of the National
Safety council. And about two
thirds of these were walking with
their backs to approaching traffic.
In many places, sidewalks are
being built parallel to the high
ways to segregate motor and Pc
destrian traffic, but in places
where they aren't yet built, the
council has these four suggestions
to offer:
walk on the left side of the
road.
2-At night, carry light.
3-Wear light clothing or at
least some article of clothing
that's white, to make it easier for
the motorist to see you.
4-Walk on the shoulder of the
road instead of the pavement,
where possible, to keep from fore
ing cars into the path of oncoming
traffic.

Men go from house to house singing
special festival songs, and are in

But there are one or two customs
In connection with Quaaltagh which
are observed nowhere else. Before
