KIRKLAND WINS INTRA-COUNTY NET ARGUMENT Kangaroos Take Double Header From Hartford Township Kirkland township high school’s Kangaroos, first and second teams. crashed through two stubborn Hartford township net teams and trimmed their southern rivals at Kirkland Friday night. The first team won by a count of 35-18 and the second team continued to keep its record for the season clean by trimming the yearling Gorillas, 26-8. In the feature game, the Kangaroos started off strong and with a, lot of defensive ability the home team kept the visitors from scoring. The quarter etftled 5-0. Kirkland. In the second quarter Egly and Zimmerman started hammering away at the basket and the Kirkland guards, Martin. Hoffman and Adler fitted so well into the workmanship that Hartford play-' <rs f ’ it almost impossible to break t.irough for short shots. The | halt ended 14-5 wit', Kirkland on the long end. The Bryanmen continued the at-] tack in the second half, and the ■ outcome of the game was never in doubt. Hartford fought hard.. and attempted several rallies which always were cut short by the guarding ability of the whole Kang-1 aroo team. The final count was i 35-18. Beineke cut loose in Friday's game and counted five times! from all parts of the court. The little Kangaroos put all their 100-pound average into a bunch against their Hartford rivals and carried off honors to make it 100 i per cent, for Kirkland’s Friday night program. The second team won, 26-8. The half time score was 19-0 in favor of Kirkland. This Kirkland second team aggregation, has been throwing a lot of fear into coaches of northern Indiana.

British Government ‘Family’ Affair * * * * * * * * * With the Exception of Stanley Baldwin, Whose Son Lost as Conservatives Rose to Power, Three Political Leaders of England Have Children hollowing in Their Steps in Important Government Roles.

iIT wh Oh r 1 'J A irl f -W fi / Wlr ' 7 r”- HR ■ * 4 I wT i iR-ou- vEfl M n SHI a I & sffiMKgffgs Us ■■ 1 WMM V Oliver Stanley vim Hegan George GviuymLuydGeorge DavidwUYDUeorge. The Government of Great Britain might be construed to be a “family” affair, what with two of the leading lights having sons and one daughter in prominent roles as law-makers and another young man a power to be reckoned with, even though he was defeated by the very avalanche which gave his father and his party increased power. Ramsay MacDonald, Prime Minister, has an able supporter in the House of Commons in his 30-year-old son, Malcolm. David Lloyd George, famous wartime Premier, hat double ammunition in Parliament as support for himself and his Liberal party in his daughter, Megan, and his son, Major Gwilym. Os the three outstanding leaders in British politics, i. e., MacDonald, Baldwin and Lloyd George, Stanley Baldwin is the o nly one who does not now have a member of his family in Parliament. His Socialist son, Oliver, wa s ousted from the House of Commons in the very election which returned Baldwin and his Conservative party to the heights.

London. Nov >.- England, withli I a national election of marked im- t I portanfe echoing in history, pre- i I sents a strange picture of almost 1 freakish proportions in the fact ( that two out of the three governing t leaders of Britain have children t following directly in their footsteps i I and even now participating in law- ] I making for the eimpire. 1 Great Britain's Government, in t I .act, has assumed what used to be t i styled the divine right of kings.” in that a share of the governing] < roles has been kept x within the t ranks of several families —just as : royal reigns are restricted to the i high-born of the dynasty in power. I If the son of Stanley Baldwin, | veteran champion of the Conserva- ; live party, had not gone down to defeat as a Socialist in the election which returned his fathers political organization as prime favorite, the triumvirJte of men’ in power in England today would have had : three sons and one daughter supporting them as active members of i the House of Commons. An almost analogous situation might be imagined in the United States if one of President Hoover's sons had been elected to Congress: . an off-spring of Secretary of State Stimson chosen for some cog in the , law-making machinery of America or the sons or daughters of oths.r prominent American governmental L roles in national politics. Ramsay MacDonald, who w u a great personal victory from his own constituency of Seaham. appears to have been anchored safely to the premiership by the overNEW STRENGTH IS ADDED AFTER FIRST SET-BACK (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) s nominally controlled by a Soviet general manager in Harbin, biggest Russian center in Manchuria. Gen. Ma Chun-Shan withdrew his rmy of 3 000 from the Nonni valey battle when Japanese reinforcement arrived from Changchun and raonan, although his men outnumbered the Nipponese three to one. More than 200 Chinese were killed, while the Japanese fixed their asualties at 36 dead and 146, in ] ■lading two aviators ’njured. The Japanese bombing planes demoralized Ma Chan-Shan's cavalrymen and inflicted heavy losses in I ■he Chinese lines. Only 200 cavalry troopers remained when the] general ordered a retreat northward from the Chinese Eastern railway. Informed that Chinese reinforce-] ments were moving from Manch-I ouli and Hailar, both on the railroad line north of Tsitsihar, toward the battle scene in the south. Jap-: anese commanders expressed the belief that the Chinese would be j unable to renew their offensive for i seme time. Tokio. Nov. 7.—-(U.R)—Foreign demands for assurances of peace in I Manchuria today accompanied news of a Japanese victory over a super- 1 ior force of Chinese in the Nonni river valley. • “Friendly advice” from American Secretary of State Stimson, which vigorously reminded Japanese that it must not endanger world tranquility, was forecast among the diplomatic messages that reached the foreign office. It was stated that Foreign Minister Baron Shidehara was forming a reply to the Stimson note, which was delivered to him by U. S. Am-

whelming support which the coun-' try accorded the emergency Nat ] ional Coalition Government. Among his ablest and certainly most aid-| ent allies in the House of Com-■ mons is his eldest son. Malcolm, who was re-elected by his own fervent campaigning as a true sup 1 porter of his father s policies. The Prime Minister also took the stump for his son and helped materially to insure his victory. Malcolm, at 30. is unmarried and confesses to writing romantic fiction. which he admits is bad. A suave, usually bespectacled interlectual. the young man who is following in his famous father's shoes politically is as much a scrapper as is his “Governor." The very avalanche of votes which carried Stanley Baldwin's 'Conservatives to the heights of power buried, his son. Oliver, who ] was a Socialist member of Parliament previous to the election. The former Premier's son caused something of a sensation in normally (staid British politics when, in 1924. he launched his first campaign against his father and the elder . Baldwin's party. A confirmed Socialist. Oliver has written rabid “red" literature, it has been rumored in London. His latest writing is a play which developed from a ] dream. David Lloyd George, the famous wartime Prime Minister and leader of the Liberals in Britain, while incapacitated to some extent of recent months because of illness, nevertheless fills an important niche in governmental affairs. He. bassador, W. Cameron Forbes while the Manchurian battle still was in progress. Baron Shidehara's reply, to be sent directly to Washington without publication here, was expected to reiterate previous Japanese declarations that the Kellogg and nine-power treaties have not been violated. The Tokio government, however, adopted a stern attitude in publishing Japan’s reply to a note of Aristide Briand, president of the League of Nations council, in which his proposals were rejected. Briand has suggested that Japanese and Chinese representatives in ■Geneva collaborate on the evacuation of Manchuria. A popular Japanese proverb, “Good medicine always tastes bad." was used in describing the tone of Stimson's note. Tokio, Nov. 7. —(U.R) —A Nippon Dempo agency dispatch from Tsitsi- ■ har, located in the Russian "sphere ,of influence” in Manchuria, today (said the Japanese consul, Shimizu. had been murdered by General Ma , Chan-Shan's troops.

'too, has double strength in mem- | hers of his family who are taking i the path trod so gloriously by him- j I self. Lloyd George not'only has a son 1 (in the House of Commons with whom to carry on. but his widely-; 'known daughter. Megan, who ac-1 : companied him on his trip to America, also is an M. P. with aj good record and consistent, en- | thusiastic support of her father' 1 and his party. Although the Conservative landslip unseated hundreds of other | . party members of the Commons, j Lloyd George successfully defeated j his conservative opponent and was i returned a victor from his con-. stituency in Wales. Megan, tire-j j less in campaigning for her father' during his illness, as well as her- ; seif, got a majority of more than 4,000 votes over her Conservative, ) 1 opposition. Major Gwilym, son of Lloyd . Gvorgo, resigned as secretary to I the Board of Trade just before the t last campaign started, to fight unr| der the Liberal banner for a seat . in Parliament. He. too, won by I defeating a Conservative. It looks as if the powerful figt lures in British politics had able i children to carry on the battles which they hive waged so long < and so well for "King and Connr try.” Evidently the names of MacDonald and Lloyd George and possibly Baldwin will remain in . the front row of drama in Engt land’s political stage for another . | generation. s | set the trial for Monday. 1 Heavilin is said to have providi ?d valuable information for Hus- ?! smith and his investigatons.
