By EDWARD W. PICKARD LIP T ESPITE tbe vigorous "protests a-' and tbe proffered peace plans of the United States and tbe treat European Eu-ropean powers, Japan continues ber relentless warfare on China. Develop- ments came swiftly and continuously and as tbe week drew toward Its close tbe situation was becoming more and more critical. Attacks on Shanghai Shang-hai by land, sea and air were renewed twice within 43 i.iu u the Woo- n T iani forts at the Taylor mouth of the Wbangpoo were bombarded; Nan king and Its protecting forts were shelled. While the attack on the Woosung forts was going on Admiral Montgomery Mont-gomery M. Taylor, commander of American Asiatic fleet, arrived in the Whangpoo aboard bis flagship, the cruiser Houston, from Manila, and the American forces for the protection of our nationals In China were reinforced also by nearly near-ly every warship that had been In tbe Philippines, together with the Thirty-first regiment, of regular Infantry, In-fantry, Great Britain, France. Italy and Portugal also rushed warships and troops to the China coast America and England, supported by France and Italy, proposed In Tokyo through their ambassadors a plan for restoring peace that embraced em-braced these points: X Cessation of all acts of violence vio-lence on both sides at once on the following terms : 2. No further mobilization or preparations prep-arations whatever for further hostilities. hos-tilities. 8. Withdrawal of both Japanese and Chinese combatants from all points of mutual contact tn the Shanghai area. 4. Protection of the International settlement by the establishment of neutral rones, these zones to be policed po-liced by neutral nations and arrangements ar-rangements to be set up by consular authorities on the spot. 5. Upon acceptance of these conditions con-ditions a prompt advance to be made by negotiations to settle all outstanding out-standing controversies between the two parties In the spirit of the treaty of Paris and the resolution .of the League of Nations of December 0, without prior demand or reservation reserva-tion and with the aid of neutral observers ob-servers or participants. After the emperor had been consulted con-sulted the government announced that It rejected the second and fifth proposals and accepted the others conditionally. IMMEDIATE reason for the pro- tests of the powers against Japanese Jap-anese aggression In Shanghai was found In the persistent violations of the neutrality of the International settlement by the Japanese. They took possession of the Ilongkew section and made It the base of their operation against Chapel, the native quarter, quar-ter, where the Chinese Chi-nese were still putting put-ting up a strong resistance re-sistance and driving driv-ing their foes back by force of num bers. Edwin S. Cunningham, American Amer-ican consul general and head of tbe consular body there, was in the thick of things continuously, striving striv-ing not only to curb the Japanese but also to bring about a cessation of hostilities. Once or twice be and his colleagues did arrange truces, but these were promptly violated and the fighting began all over again. For the details of that fighting there is no room In these columns. China's government offices were removed from Nanking to Ilonanfa, 600 miles in the interior, in anticipation antici-pation of an attack on the capital, and that attack soon followed. Two cruisers and a destroyer shelled the Nanking forts and parts of the city. As usual the Japanese had their excuse ex-cuse ready, asserting that the Chinese Chi-nese fired the first shots. However, correspondents aver that neither tbe forts nor the two old Chinese warships war-ships there replied to the Japanese fire. The population of the city was panic stricken and fled to the open country. Soon after the shelling the evacuation of the American cltliens there was begun, although the firing bad not been resumed. RETIRING from the position of secretary of the treasury, which be Bas held since 1921, Andrew W. Mellon becoaes the American ambassador am-bassador to Great Britain. This was announced 5y President Hoover In a statement In which be gracefully called Mr. Mellon "one of our wisest and most experienced public servants 3 v. Edwin 8. Cunningham i f I Arthur Henderson The new ambassador Is seventy-seven seventy-seven years old and bis health of late bas been so poor that Undersecretary Under-secretary Ogden U Mills bas been doing most of bis work. Mr. Mills was named by the President to succeed suc-ceed Mr. Mellon as secretary of the treasury. NATURALLY the opening of the International disarmament conference con-ference In Geneva was clouded by the discouraging situation In tbe Orient Little bad been expected from the parley before by Independent observers ob-servers of world affairs, af-fairs, and this little lit-tle was lessened by the events In China. Arthur Henderson, former British foreign for-eign secretary, looking look-ing ill and worried, took bis place as chairman of tbe conference and spoke for an hour, mostly In generalities, concerning what the meeting should accomplish. accom-plish. . "I refuse to contemplate even the possibility of failure," Mr. Henderson Hen-derson said. "If we fall no one can foretell the evil consequences that might ensue." With regard to the Chlno-Japan-ese conflict, he said: "We feel bound to refer to the tragic fact that at the very moment this conference, whose purpose Is to promote peace, begins its work, we are confronted with such a situation sit-uation of extreme gravity as that which now exists In the Far East "It Is imperative that all signatories signa-tories of the covenant of the League of Nations and the Brland-Kellogg pact make it their business to injure in-jure strict observance of these two great safeguards against acts of violence vi-olence and war." After the preliminaries and the organization of the, conference the thousand or so delegates adjourned until the following week to pre pare for the long drawn out sessions ses-sions and protracted discussions. The most prominent statesmen were not expected before February 8. When Secretary of State Stlmson, head of the American delegation, would arrive was uncertain. POT. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a leading aspirant for the Democratic Dem-ocratic Presidential nomination, has declared himself opposed to American Amer-ican membership in the League "of Nations In an address before the New York State grange. Ia this he follows the lead of Newton D. Baker, also a Presidential possibility, possibil-ity, who recently said that while he still believed in the league, he would not have the United States join In while popular opinion was against it. Governor Roosevelt said he had no apology for having worked and spoken In behalf of American participation par-ticipation In the league when be was the Democratic Vice Presidential Presiden-tial candidate twelve years ago. ne added: "The league is not the league conceived by Woodrow Wilson. Wil-son. Rather, it is a mere meeting place for the political discussion of strictly European difficulties." Other pronouncements by Roosevelt Roose-velt were that Europe's debts to America should not be canceled and that an international trade conference confer-ence should be called to level tariff barriers. a campaign against depression and bringing out boarded money. According Ac-cording to figures given by the President, Pres-ident, a total of more than $1,300,-000,000 $1,300,-000,000 of American money bas been hoarded during the last year and Is still out of circulation on a non-working non-working basis. ORGANIZATION of tbe board of directors of the Reconstruction Finance corporation was completed com-pleted with tbe election of Charles O. Dawes as president and Eugene Meyer as chairman of the board; quarters were opened in the old Commerce department in Washington Washing-ton and the reception and consideration consid-eration of requests for loans was begun without delay. The senate already bad confirmed tbe names of Harvey C Couch and Jesse H. Jones as directors, and President Hoover sent hi the name of Wilson McCarthy McCar-thy of Salt Lake City to complete the board membership. Applications Applica-tions for more than one hundred millions in loans had come in before be-fore the board began to function. SENATOR WESLEY L. JONES of Washington, author of the "Five and Ten" law, bas devised a way to compel states without state prohibition laws to enact such legislation. legis-lation. He Introduced a resolution to prohibit tbe navy from sending any vessel to a port in any state without state enforcement, and to prohibit the holding of citizens' military mil-itary training camps or the building build-ing of government ships in states without state dry laws. The United Mine Workers of America, In convention in Indianapolis, Indian-apolis, adopted a resolution recommending recom-mending the legalization of "good" beer, rather than an attempt to repeal re-peal the Eighteenth amendment, as the practical solution of tbe prohibition prohi-bition problem.

"A navy equal to our own In the Pacific," Senator Hale went on, "opens up many Interesting problems prob-lems for the future, and Is not at all in conformance with our declared de-clared needs at the time of the Washington and London conferences, confer-ences, and no one can truthfully say the conditions In the East with the dove of peace In temporary hibernation hiber-nation on the China coast warrant any lessening of these needs." .iLi David B.

Now Comes Urge for New Hat By OIER1E NICHOLAS rr ... ..rjaprri IImPI AS? '-f- AS HAS been and always will be In mldseason, the first gesture ges-ture which a winter-weary woman makes toward spring Is to buy a new hat Seeking signs of spring, fashion's followers will find their fondest hopes realized in the realm of new millinery where milady's chapean has blossomed forth ere snows have melted from the ground, in full regalia of flowers, ribbons and refreshing straws. Which may be taken literally for more flowers are being used than is usual for this time of the year, and straws of every description are flourishing at such a rate as to lead those who watch "which way the wind blows" to prophesy that It is to be a "straw season." The new shapes are thrilling. So different I So far as the beret, the sailor and the cloche are concerned, they are staging a sort of all-star performance. All three are In the limelight with, however, startling variations. High spots In the millinery program pro-gram are, first of all, the tendency of brims to turn up at the back. Even the familiar cloche makes Itself It-self look new by turning its brim up flat to Its crown at the back (see the cloche pictured in lower right corner of the illustration.) Then, too, hats must be worn at an angle. As to the Jaunty beret, it simply clings to one side of the head, and how It stays on is often a mystery, yet not such a mystery, for, believe it or not, hatpins are "in" again. That is, some of the smartest berets made of black satin (ever so good looking for mid-season) mid-season) are held in place on the head ' with two pearl-knobbed pins thrust through the crown. Then, again, the popular quill trimming, as the first model In the picture shows. Is preferred. So flat are many of these little hats, they are called pancake berets. Many of them are made of satin ribbon, others of fabric, especially black satin, while those of hand-sewed straw braid will be very fashion able. The toque or beret with a nonlr la nlsn oYnlnltprl Tn fact the peaked crown is a favorite topic among designers. Rrlmq ore tnkpn for erranted this - o season. They excite Interest in that tneir contours are so unusual, a favorite among youthful fashions is what Is called the "baby brim," which turns up all around in an even cuff. The hat at the top, to the right in this group, Is a version of this new mode. This style is very smart In felt, either in pastel coloring or In street shades. Note the upright positioning' of the feather trim. High effects like this express a trend which is being greatly emphasized. The straw sailor worn with a lilt and a tilt Is outstanding for spring. The model centered in the picture is of black straw. Paris bats declare de-clare a vogue for rough shiny straws and for lustrous cellophane effects. Of the sailor here Illustrated, It may be said that it bas a very conservative con-servative pose. In some instances the brim is worn at such an angle that it would seem that only a hatpin hat-pin would save it from falling off. As a "last word" hat fashion, we call attention to the pert little shape shown In the lower left corner cor-ner of the picture. It is one of the Louis Seize models which you will be hearing much about the coming season. Its characteristics are its shallow crown, the narrowness narrow-ness of Its brim and, most Impor tant of all, the upturn of this brim at the back. Imagine this model In straw or in felt, for It Is shown In both. Sometimes it is banked In at the back with flowers, then again ribbon bows are massed in a way to fill In the space over the coiffure. Smart Parisiennes are wearing these little coquettish shapes at a daring angle. It remains to be seen how popular the very shallow crowns will become with American women. Watteau bandeaux hats are very much in fashion. (ffl. 1932. Western Newspaper Union.) NEWEST ENSEMBLE HAS SUBTLE CHARM A subtle relationship marks the frock and coat of the newest ensemble. en-semble. Nothing so banal any more as both garments In the same fabric and marked by the same trimming and treatment No, the new ensemble en-semble owes Its charm to far more Interesting accents than those. Usually the coat and frock are of two different materials, of the same coloring, of course. Very often the color of the fur on the coat is tepeated In different trimming on the frock. And even If the coat and frock do not subscribe absolute ly to the same treatment and detail, de-tail, some note such as tucking or emplacements announces to the world that the coat and frock were Just made for one another and for you.
