FAR BIST WAR SEEN AS MANY YEARSJJISTANT China and Russia Can Not Afford Conflict Now, * Simms’ Belief. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Serippu-lloward foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Rushans and Chinese actually are killing one another along the Siberian border, but perilous though the situation undoubtedly is, can not believe any formal declaration of war will follow; at least, not for the present. Three nations are vitally interested in the fate of this quarter of Asia —China, Russia and Japan—and •hone of the three wants war at this time. Neither China nor Russia can afford such a luxury, for modern wars cost a great deal of money, and Japan has nothing to gain. Her position in Manchuria and eastern Mongolia becomes stronger with each passing year of peace. War Likely Later Eventually it is more than likely that it will take a real war to settle the status of the Asiatic Balkans, a war in which at least three powerful nations will be at grips, but the chances are all against such a war in the very near future. There is little doubt in my mind that Soviet Russia could pinch off all northern Manchuria in two weeks’ time with only two or three divisions. With the armored trains, tanks, excellent cavalry and airplanes she now has concentrated along the Manchurian border, she could strike at the two ends of the Chinese Eastern railway over which the two countries are now quarreling and reach Harbin, in the middle of the line, without much trouble. For though China rapidly Is modernizing her fighting methods, she can not yet cope with the Russians, who, when properly led, are among the best troops in the world. Would Face Japanese But the Russian leaders must know that, by defeating the Chinese m Manchuria they automatically find themselves face to face with the Japanese, who, under no conceivable circumstances, would permit Russia to regain a foothold on the very ground from which the Japanese drove her in 1905. Another reason why Moscow 1 would not relish a war with the Chinese at this time is of a political order. She looks upon China and India as tha mast likely ground for the spread of Communism, and a RussOChincse war at this stage of the game seriously would hamper her plans.

CLASH BREWS ON INDIAN QUIZ Bureau and Senate Probers Disagree on Inquiry. Bu Scripps-Hmcard News paper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Friction is developing between the Indiana bureau and the senate Indian investigating committee, it was learned today. Whether this will lead to an investigation of some of the acts of Indian Commissioner Rhoads and his assistant. Henry Scattergood. has not been determined. The friction has arisen because of the manner in which Scattergood handled a departmental inqury into conditions at the Cherokee Indian school in North Carolina. Complaints were made that certain women teachers in the school entertained male visitors in their rooms late at night, that devotional services for pupils were curtailed, that too many dances and picnic parties were held and that other objectionable conditions existed. Frank Christy. Indian bureau investigator, reported that some charges were true and recommended that changes be made. Instead of accepting Christy’s report, Scattergood had H. P. Peairs. general superintendent of Indian education, investigate and Pearis said factional disputes in the school were to blame. Teachers who caused the inquiry were dismissed, as well as some against whom accusations had been made.

HOGAN WILL BE FALL'S LAWYER Attorney Who Won Doheny Fight Is Retained. Bv Scripps-Ifoicard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Frank J. Hogan, attorney in whom oil scandal defendants have almost superstitious confidence, will defend Albert Fall when he goes on trial here Ooctober 7. Hogan had charge of the Doheny half of the defense when Doheny and Fall were tried jointly on conspiracy charges three years ago, and played the star part in winning an acquital for the oil man and the former secretary of interior. It was rumored at the time that he received a million dollar fee. He defended Robert W. Stewart on the two occasions when Stewart wastried for contempt and perjury, and won an acquittal both times. He had no part in any of the Sinclair trials, which terminated in one acquittal and two jail sentences. Fall goes on trial alone on a charge of taking a bribe from E. L. Doheny. Doheny is under indictment for giving a bribe, but if Fall is acquitted, his case almost certainly will be dropped. The government is expected to drop, also, the conspiracy charge pending against Fall if this case ends in acquittal. The last was a joint charge naming Fall and Sinclair, and Sinclair already has been acquitted. The coming trial probably will end the famous oil cases.
