VTTTH rv I If News Review Events the Japanese Defeat Chinese in Bloody Battle While League Council and Dawes Seek Road to Peace. By EDWARD H)W to bring to an end the unofficial un-official war between Japan and China was the problem that was taken up agaia by the council of the League of Na tions at its meeting meet-ing la Paris. And, coincides tally, there was the Job of extricating the league from the unpleasant un-pleasant situation created by Japan's flat refusal to obey its orders. The distinguished dis-tinguished diplomats diplo-mats were aided In their task by Ambassador Am-bassador Dawes, who was Instruct iff n Lbwv-X tut, i . Ambassador Dawes ed to proceed from London to act as ambassador observer. While the councli discussed, debated de-bated and conferred, the Japanese troops went right along with their program in Manchuria. Gen, Ma Chnn-shan, commander of the Chinese Chi-nese army in Heliungklang province, prov-ince, was ordered by General HodJo, Japanese commander, to withdraw his troops from Anganchi and Tsltsl-har, Tsltsl-har, the latter the capital of the province. Ma refused to obey and the Japanese opened a fierce attar-k with all arms, including bombing planes which dispersed the Chinese cavalry. In bitterly cold weather the battle raged for many hours and the Chinese were finally forced out of both the cities aarned. in this operation the Japanese troops ad' vanced within the sphere of Influ ence of Soviet Russia for the first time, and as Moscow had warned them against doing this. It was believed be-lieved the result might be momentous. momen-tous. In this big buttle along the Nonnl river both sides were reported report-ed to have sustained heavy casualties. casual-ties. Anticipating a Russian protest, Japan notified Moscow that It held the Chinese Eastern railway partly responsible for the hostilities because be-cause It liadT transported Chinese troops. IN PARIS General Duwes was much more than an observer. Indeed, In-deed, he was the central figure and it was hoped that to his tnlks with Tsuneo Matsudalra, Japanese ambassador am-bassador to London, a compromise might be worked out. Duwes also bad a long conversation with Dr Alfred Sze, Chinese delegate, which both of them said was most profitable. profit-able. There were rumors that the United States had come to the con elusion that Japan's contentions should be upheld, and the league officials were worried. Rut these stories were refuted by a statement state-ment from Secretary of State Sttm-son Sttm-son to the effect that the United States stood firmly on the question of treaties and had not thus far committed Itself In any way. Dawes and the councli were trying to gather gath-er the real facts in the controversy, and Japan was asked to state In detail de-tail Just what she demanded from China. There was a report that Dawes and Sir John Simon, British foreign minister, were contemplating contemplat-ing invoking the nine power treaty signed at Washington In 1922. Aristlde Brtand, president of the council, though exhausted to the point of illness, was as busy as Dawes, especially la negotiations with Kenklchl Yoshizawa, the Japanese Jap-anese delegate and his close friend. From Nanking came two important impor-tant items of news. One was that the Kuomlntang congress had declared de-clared In favor of war on Japan in cose the league should full to settle the quarrel. The other was the statement of the nationalist government govern-ment that It would regard any Man-churlan Man-churlan government headed by llsuan Tung, former emperor, otherwise other-wise Henry Pu-yU as .a "seditious Institution" and would repudiate all Its acts. Ilsuan Tung was taken to Mukden by the Japanese, who presumably Intended to make him a puppet emperor of that country, but what had become of him was unknown. un-known. He was said to have declared de-clared he would commit sulfide rather than serve as a tool of Japan.

Caraway has been appointed appoint-ed to succeed her , late husband tern porarily as senator sena-tor from Arkansas The only o t b e i woman senator we have had was Mrs Rebecca Felton of Georgia, who heij ths office nominally and for but a short time, Mrs. Oira way, however, may be expected to be an active mertmer. for she was a close Mrs. T.

PRESIDENT HOOVER announced that he had accepted the resignation resig-nation of Henry P. Fletcher as chairman chair-man of the federal tariff commission to take effect on November SO. Mr. Fletcher some time ago indicated his wish to resign, but at the President's Presi-dent's request remained In office. He had served since the commission's organization, 14 months ago. In submitting his resignation Mr. Fletcher appended a report of the commission's work, showing that by November 30 Its docket would be cleared of all applications and senate sen-ate requests for information. GERMANY and France, represented repre-sented by Secretary of State Uuelow and M. Brland. reached an agreement on the formula by which the Germans should call for a moratorium mora-torium on reparations under the terms of the Young plan, and the text of the request was presented to the world bank at Basel after the American and British representatives representa-tives in Berlin had been shown the letter. The German government asks the world bank and the International Interna-tional powers to Investigate her ability abil-ity to pay the reparations and to help Germany formulate a plan to pay her private debts. The latest report of the Relchshank shows t hat despite a favorable trade balance achieved by Germany In October, the Relchshank Is still very short of foreign currency.

Signor Rosso is at present chief of the Italian foreign for-eign fflee division that deals with the league of Nations, and there have been hints that he might be a future ambassador to Washington. Signer Grand! was gratified with the news that Aristide Brland, as head of the league council, had declared de-clared officially that the one-year armament building truce Is in effect as of November 1, for this truce was the suggestion of Grandl though he called It "an American-Latin Idea.

MAIIATMA GANDUI Informed the British government that unless it did something for India by December 1 be would sail for Bombay on December 4 to lead a new and greater clvfl disobedience movement in that country. In that case It Is likely he will order a so-clal so-clal as well ss a commercial boycott boy-cott against the British, which would mean that no Indians would work for British Individuals. British troops were sent to Kashmir Kash-mir recently to help put down a Moslem revolt in that Iadlan state, and the Russian government protests, pro-tests, considering the military movement move-ment as a distinct menace to Its frontier. In consequence Moscow made threats against Afghanistan which led the Afghan government to ask Turkey for the services of a military mission to reorganize Its army.

NONE of the party leaders in Washington now seem to doubt that there will be legislation to increase in-crease federal taxes, for the deficit at the end of the present fiscal year will" be too big to be taken care of by further bond Issues. Senator Jlra Watson of Indiana, majority leader of the senate, said a tax Increase was "Inescapable," and as he had Just been In conference with the President It was assumed this was the opinion of Mr. Hoover. Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the finance committee, admitted there would have to be further taxation and thought it might be possible to obtain passage of a sales tax. Senator Sen-ator Fess of Ohio said : "The budget must be balanced even if we are compelled to take drastic measures such as was done In England. One line of effort Is reductions which are being made so as to reduce the outlay. The other must be increase In revenue. I also believe that there will be enacted excise taxes on certain cer-tain articles.'' Senator Bingham of Connecticut advocates restoration of nuisance taxes especially on soft drinks. The "progressive" Republicans Repub-licans are calling for higher income in-come taxes in the higher brackets, and there may be little opposition to this In either party. Democratic leaders had less to say, for their program Is not yet settled. Anyhow they expect the administration ad-ministration to recommend the tax Increase and thus shoulder the responsibility, re-sponsibility, after which they can decided how they think the deficit should be met. AMERICAN exporters, alreadj worried by the seeming certainty certain-ty of British tariff legislation, were further dismayed by the news that the Turkish government had Issued a deci ee drastically limiting the Importation of 1,000 articles, no consideration being given to mer chandise In customs or en route. America Is hit by limits placed on such articles as automobiles, motion mo-tion picture films, camera films, au tomobile tires and radios. Compara lively small amounts of these articles ar-ticles will be permitted to enter the country during November and De cember, and new quotas will be fixed for succeeding months.

The substitition of from 10 to 20 per cent of rice bran for other feeding stuffs In the diet of chUkens being reared in confinement helped to prevent a disease known as pero-sis pero-sis (deforming leg weakness). th United States Department of Agriculture Agri-culture reports as one "suit of a series of experiments conducted In co-operation with various states. The investigations showed also that no chickens which were being kept In confinement to study the re-placeablllty re-placeablllty of various feeding stuffs were developing perosls. Other experiments ex-periments planned for the purpose of studying the condition showed that the addition of 6 to 10 per cent of rice bran to the diet caused a marked reduction in the number of afflicted birds. Perosls usually makes its appearance appear-ance among actively growing chicks kept In confinement and fed an unsuitable un-suitable diet. One of the first symptoms symp-toms In a puffiness of the Joints of the legs and a tendency on the part of afflicted birds to squat for long periods of time. The next stage is characterized by an increase of the puffiness and a bending of the leg bones. In the final form the disease dis-ease leaves the Joints of the legs permanently deformed The investigations showed also that an adjustment of the relative quantity of calcium and phosphorus in the diet, as well as the addition of rice bran, helped to prevent perosls. pero-sls. When the two changes were made simultaneously no case of perosls occurred. Perosis Is not the same as rickets, rick-ets, the department points out Chickens with perosls show normal ash content of their leg bones and the calcium and inorganic phosphorus phosphor-us content of their blood serum Is normal, neither of which condition is true of chickens with rickets. The tests Indicate that another vitamin besides D Is necessary for the development de-velopment of the bones of chickens. Wise Poultryman Will Gather Eggs When Laid It is appalling to read reports about the number and value of eggs that are lost every year because some people like to hear the roost ers crow or because it Is too much bother to catch them. The germ In a fertile egg will begin to grow at a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit Fahren-heit Sometimes we are careless about leaving the broody hens on the nests, so they have the eggs spoiled by sitting on them all day before we gather them. It doesn't matter whether the heat Is furnished by the weather or the sitting hens, as the result is the same. While the eggs to all appearances are perfectly fresh, they will be rotten before they reach the final market, because the temperature is high enough to start germ growth, but not steady enough to keep it This variation In temperature soon klis the germ, then rot begins. An Infertile egg under the same condl tlons will not become rotten, as the germ has no life to develop. Poultry House Litter Carrier Has Advantage In some of the newer commercial poultry houses a litter carrier and track has been installed to great advantage. ad-vantage.

Light Yolks Preferred Poultry producers find that many buyers in the large cities, especially the New York market, prefer eggs with light-colored yolks, the United States Department of Agricultm says.
