Under blue skies and on a green field the young men of the world marched shoulder to shoulder in the stirring Olympic ceremony. Flags of all nations flew side by side from the stadium’s ramparts. Oaths of hi g h sportsmanship were taken. Government lenders, their voices thrown by amplifiers t,, the listening thousands, spoke movingly of amity and understand I ing. Black men whirled down the track to records and thunderous cheers. Chunky little yellow men drew salutes by splashing mightily through the waters and running tirelessly over tortuous distances. White men were acclaimed for feats of strength and skill. Race meant nothing. Neither did I color nor creed. | But that was a year ago. The Olympic torch now is doub ; ling as an artillery flash on the ! Guadamarra front in Spain . The chunkly little yellow mail I who won the marathon is perhaps . right now burning up the plains of j northern China with a message to a Japanese Caroia. Chances are that some of the S big grinning fellows who tossed ; the shotput now are working with ' hand grenades. Javelin tossers are ;! employing that snap of the wrist . ! that launched the spear, to give j extra drive to bayonets. Hurdlers are scissoring over barbed wire entanglements, and the members of rifle and pistol teams are shooting for keeps. The once peaceful Olympic village, on the outskirts of Berlin, is an officer's training camp, and men are peeping at gun sights instead of stop watches. There is but one conclusion to draw —-as builders of permanent 1 good will the Olympics are a bust. I All the fine things eaid, all the 1 fine spirit shown meant nothing, ■ everyone was neighborly—under orders. The hands across the sea really were covered with brass knuckles and itching to tak > a I swing at someone. | (Copyright 1937 by United Press) o BATTING LEADERS Player Club G ABRH Pet. , Medwick, Cards... 98 393 87 157.399 ' Hartnett, Cubs 67 213 27 83 .390 .

"We can tell the people things that we cannot get before public at the present time." “If very often happens on the house floor that Democrats say we authorized such and such a measure when as a matter of fact we opposed it “But because the overwhelming Democratic majority passed it, they wrongly accused us of having equal responsibility.

Added weight was given Snell's views, however, because of the position of leadership he has held in j high party councils. He was permanent chairman of the Republican j convention at Cleveland last year j and is leader .of the Republican forcces in the house. From other Republican leaders it was learned that such a convention has been under discussion for almost a year. it was emphasized, however, that 'eaders fee! that no such meeting should be held unless it was representative of all sections of the country. o Decatur-Herne Game Postponed Sunday afternoon’s heavy downpour of rain prevented the Decatur semi-pros and the Berne All-Stars from -playing at Worthman Field.

Flags of foreign nations were hoisted on flagstaffs and British authorities had huge union jacks, including some as large as four tennis courts, painted on roads and ! open spaces about the British concession. Boats for Shanghai were booked . 1 three weeks in advance but it was difficult to obtain any accoinmoda- | tions at all because of the mass conscription of dock labor by Japanese army authorities at Tangku, ; the port of Tientsin down the rivi er, because of which ships were 1 j held in port. The reports that the Japanese: concession and other Japanese ■ areas might be bombed spread rapidly. Japanese sources report-j . ed that Chinese officials notified authorities of foreign concessions ; to mark their areas plainly or the . Chinese government could not he . | responsible for damage. Brisk fighting broke out west of | Tientsin in portent that real war ‘ between Japan and China might 1 j not be far away, i Postal trucks, returning to the - city after vain efforts to deliver mails for the south, reported that Chinese and Japanese troops were fighting at Yangtiuehing. 10 miles west of Tientsin where the Pukow railroad turns southward. A little i farther south on the railroad, at Chinghaihsien, Chinese troops re- ! pulsed a surprise Japanese cavalry attack Saturday, according to Chinese informants. Japanese army men professed to i be gravely concerned at eommuni ist activities and said that they reI ceived information that the Chinese communist army, which had been operating in the west for years ! and numbers some of the toughest fighters in the country, was marching rapidly eastward toward the Peiping area. It was alleged that the communist force numbered five j divisions containing 20 regiments i under command of Gen. Chu Teh. Japanese asserted they had in- ! formation also that the vanguard of an important Chinese army had i reached Hankow, 50 miles north | of Peiping. In their latest move to dominate North China, the Japanese put a tight grip on Peiping, the ancient capital which, many experts believe, Japan wants to make into a capital again with the young Emperor Kang Teh, heir of the Manchu rulers of China, as emperor of j the combined states of Manehukuo and North China. The last vestige of Chinese authority in Peiping evaporated yesterday when 4,000 Japanese troops j marched into the city, preceded by cavalry scouts, and occupied the I main Chinese barracks .in the j Temple of Heaven area.
