CHINESE ARMY LAUNCHES NEW SMASH ON FOE * Japanese Are Outnumbered Ten to One in Zone of Battle. (Continued From Page 1) Japanese troops to crush the irregulars in the last ten days, the roving bands of Chinese in South Manchuria appeared to be widening their activities. Villages were looted for food. Japanese military patrols were hardpressed in various districts, including Kungchulin, Huangkutun, and regions east of the South Manchurian railroad zone * There also was a threat of serious danger in the Chinchow area, near the border of China proper, where heavy forces of troops hostile to Japan were gathering. Meanwhile, the continued threat of Chinese attacks on Japanese troops in the Nonni area caused an official announcement that Japan might be forced to rfiove northward into the Soviet-influenced area and occupy the cities of Anganchi and Tsitsihar. Restore Quiet in Tientsin By United Press TIENTSIN, Nov. 12.—The city was quiet today, alter almost a week of disorders and street fighting. Chinese and Japanese were cooperating in polio* patrols. Officials expressed confidence that the disorders were ended. It was said an agreement had been reached among the Chinese and Japanese to a mutual patrol within the 300-yard “neutral zone,’’ which Japanese established around their concession. The United States state department was asked to decide whether American troops will co-operate with other foreign forces in patrol duty. Hoover Course Praised B;/ United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—An open letter expressing “hearty approval” of his policy of co-operation with the League of Nations in the Manchurian crisis has been dispatched to President Hoover by 161 prominent citizens. Signers of the document Included educators, bankers, lawyers, publishers, editors, military men, clergymen, welfare workers, and business men. Democratic signers included John W. Davis, presidential candidate in 1924; Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war; Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy; Henry Morgenthau, former ambassador to Turkey, and Colonel Edward M. House, confidential adviser to President Wilson. Troops Short of Food Bn United Press LONDON, Nov. 12.—The Daily Mail’s correspondent at Harbin reported today that the Manchurian troops of General Ma Chan-Shan in the Tsitsihar area were short of food and ammunition. The correspondent quoted General Ma as saying, in an interview, that the Japanese soldiers were reported advancing forty miles north of Tsitsihar, “possibly intending to prevent the interference of the Soviet.” “After the recent fighting, we withdrew twelve miles from the Nonni river,” General Ma was quoted as saying. “There we are maintaining a line of 10,000 troops, but they are weakening because the Tsitsihar arsenals produce only - 10.000 cartridges and 100 shells a day. There also is a food shortage.” Consider Peace Group It!I I nited Press PARIS, Nov. 12.—A proposal for a League of Nations commission to assure protection of Japanese in Manchuria during withdrawal of Japanese troops will be discussed by the League of Nations council When it reconvenes here Monday. The representatives of fourteen nations, aided by General Charles G. Dawes as United States representatives, will be faced with the task of ending the Manchurian warfare by drastic measures if necessary. The council may shift from Article llr of the league covenant to Article 15, which would empower it to enforce sanctions (such as an economic or diplomatic boycott) against Japan or China without unanimous vote. Under Article 11, an unanimous vote is required for action. If troops are withdrawn, a league commission of experts could be sent to Manchuria to study the causes of the conflict and attempt to arrange a permanent settlement, it was pointed out. Such procedure would be similar to the formula followed in ending the Greek-Bulgar war threat in 1927.

Following Is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not” which appeared in Wednesday’s Times: U. S. Is Only Country to Celebrate Nov. 11—The United States is the only nation in the world to celebrate Armistice day as a public holiday, although it had no part in the act of Nov. 11, 1918, and had nothing to gain from it, in a material way. The French chamber, by resolution of Nov. 4, 1921, declined to establish Nov. 11 as a national holiday on the grounds of that date’s proximity to All Saints’ day (Nov. Ist) which is a national holiday in France. Instead it designated the Sunday following Armistice day to be celebrated as Victory day. Armistice day is not a public holiday in England, and merely is observed by two minutes of silence at 11 a. m. Italy pelebrates Armistice day on Nov. 5, as the date of her private truce with Austria-Hungary. All other nations celebrate the anniversary of cessation of hostilities on a variety of dates, ranging between Oct. 28 and Nov. 7. Mrs. Gromoll Was Buried in Her Wedding Dress—When Mrs. Amelia Gromoll was married in Kreis Flottow, Germany, 1868, she made her own wedding dress out of the strong and durable dark material our grandparents considered so superior to the materials of today. On all formal occasions, and when visiting friends or relatives, she invariably wore this same dress. She seemed to regard it as something superlative, and her expressed desire to be buried in her favorite dress was granted in 1920, fifty-two years after her marriage. This suggestion was submitted by Mrs. Gromoll’s daughter, Mrs. Martha Beile, of 2906 McLean avenue, Chicago.

SPEED DEMANDING NEW LUBRICANTS

Faster Autos Will Require New Oils and Greases, Say Engineers. Bn Science Service CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—Automobiles soon will haves uch great speed and acceleration that special extremepressure lubricants not now available to the public will be needed to keep their transmission and differential gears from scoring and breaking down under the strain. This is the suggestion of H. C. Mougey and J. O. Almen, engineers of the General Motors Corporation, made today before the American Petroleum Institute meeting here. They pointed out that even now the generally accepted theory of lubrication does not hold for some parts of the autmobile. It is widely thought that in lubrication a film of oil actually prevents rubbing surfaces from coming

Sweet and Dry By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The government now is going to take the kick out of candy. J. McDoran, industrial alcohol commissioner, today ruled that after 1931 no permits to withdraw alcoholic beverages will be granted and present permits will expire. Such Christmas cheer as can_ be found in holiday candy this' year, however, is legitimate.

together, the engineers said. But, they declared, this condition dees not apply to highly loaded gears which make contact at fast rubbing speeds as in the transmission and differential of an automobile. Pressure between automobile gear teeth often are as great as 400,000 pounds per square inch while well lubricated bearing loads rarely exceed 2,000 pounds per square inch. “With these conditions prevailing it is not difficult to Imagine we fast are approaching the limit of capacity of ordinary oils,” the engineer stated. “The fact that we are not in difficulty now probably can be attributed to-the intermittent nature of the loading which permits time for temperature equalization between periods of load.”

STATE TO REST CASE IN DRY AGENTKILLING Ballistic Expert Testifies Against Ft. Wayne Bootlegger. By United Press FT. WAYNE, Ind., Nov. 12.—The last witness the state was to call in its attempt to prove that George Adams murdered John Wilson, prohibition agent, was questioned just before the noon recess today. The state was expected to rest its case when court reconvened this afternoon. William Cavers, Detroit, a ballistic expert, was the final state witness. He testified that two bullets taken from Wilson”s body were fired from the weapon used by Adams when Wilson and three other agents attempted to arrest him on the Huntington road near here last July 22. Preceded by Detectives Cavers’ testimony was preceded by that of Detective Sergeant Eugene Bouchard, who said he took the bullets to Cavers for examination and that they were the ones removed from Wilson’s body. Dr. M. B. Catlett, local physician offered technical testimony in support of that given by Dr. A. E. King, deputy coroner, who conducted the autopsy on Wilson.* Catlett corroborated King’s statement that the course of bullets could be traced when they passed through certain organs of the body. The defense was expected to begin its testimony this afternoon and probably complete its case by Saturday. Provide High Point Testimony of Fred Franke and Clarence Schroeder, witnesses of the slaying of Wilson and Walter Gilbert, also a dry agent, provided the high point of the state’s case. Franke was driving past the scene on the Huntington road where the shooting occurred and Schroeder lives nearby. Their testimony substantiated the version of the shooting brought out by the prosecution in previous testimony. Lewis Krouse, a farmer, at whose house Adams stopped after the shooting, told of dressing Adams’ wounds. State police testified regarding his arrest.
