A big question is asked and answered in Frank H. Simonds latest book which Harper & Brothers will publish on Dec. 1. The title is the question itself—- ' Can Europe Keep the Peace?” tt tt a RY WALTER I). HICKMAN HAVE just finished the strangest story of the World war that I ever read. It is ‘‘Bodyguard Unseen,” by Vincenzo D’Aquila, a native born Italian but raised in New York, who volunteered in the Italian army near the beginning of the war. This book is different because it Is not a novel as published by Richard R. Smith, Inc., New York, but “a true autobiography.” The author served in the high Alps. He felt that his bodyguard was God, and he escaped from actual killing service because he shot his weapons up in the air. He became a conscientious objector aftpr voluntarily taking the oath to kill the enemy. He realized that W'ar was deathly bunk and his bodyguard kept him out of the slaughter. He made up his mind to get out of the trenches by Christmas. He did by faking sickness, then worked up a terrible fever by drinking three tins of infected evaporated milk and then by a terrible physical experience developed cerebral typhus. During his fight to stay on earth even with its “madness,” D’Aquila went through the strange spiritual experience of his soul soaring upward, then to return to his wrecked shell of his body. It was for a purpose—He then became a prophet and by his own brief commands worked healing “miracles” in the hospital wards. Many thought him nuts. But read this book. One of the strangest and the greatest of the war books. And it sure gives the Italian high army command many black eyes. tt a tt You can get the real Darrow and the way and why he fought many unpopular causes and won in a new' book called “Clarence Darrow,” by Charles Lale Harrison, and published by Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith. You see the real man, because he is made to repeat again many speeches that he made in the Debs case, the Moyer case, The United Mine Workers, Leopold-Loeb, the Scopes case and many others. You will get closer to his humanity and common sense than ever before. tt a u Anew type of a book review wins today. Meaning that l\!arianna I.

WORLD PEACE BURDEN RESTS IN U.S. HANDS Sino-Japanese Issue Sharply Clarified by Briand’s Intervention Plea. RUSSIAN QUIET OMINOUS Belching Cannon, Advancing Legions, Nippon’s Reply to Timid Complaints. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—The beginning of the third month of Japan’s armed conquest of Manchuria—found the peace of the far east, if not of the world, largely hanging upon decisions to be made at Washington. And with it—likewise suspended in the delicately adjusted balance | —rested the fate of the entire; world peace machinery so labori-; ously built up since the World war. In Manchuria, according to dispatches received here, to the accompaniment of vomiting guns and crashing bombs, the Chinese are fleeing in terror before the muffled tread of steadily advancing Japanese, on the march through subzero weather and snow. In Paris—where the council of the League of Nations sits in extraordinary session trying to find a wajl to make the peace machinery work—three Japanese ambassadors are reported adamant against any other solution than their own, a solution described as equivalent to turning Manchuria into a Japanese protectorate. Chinese Impatient Simultaneously, the Chinese are becoming impatient. Both in Paris and in Nanking, they are insisting that Japan be made amenable to the peace machinery. Otherwise, it merely is a matter of time before they begin a suicidal war in selfdefense against which contingency president Chiang Kai-Shek already is reported to be preparing an army of approximately 2,000,000 men. Meanwhile, Soviet Russia, with the second largest army i nthe world, awaits developments while maintaining an all too ominous silence. Out of this sinister and menacing situation, Aristide Briand, French foreign minister and president of the council of the league, has raised a cry for help. The aid of the United States, he says, would mean “a rapid and peaceful solution.” Only a united front on the part ; of all the great powers, observers agree, can prevent the Japanese getting away with their conquest. And it. was in reply to a frank question put to him by the United Press that Briand gave his equally frank answer an open appeal for unity to save the world from disaster. Insure Peaceful Solution If the United States would act in the matter, Europe’s grand old man of peace declared, it wouldn’t matter much w'hether it acted independently or in collaboration with the league. In any event, “it would clarify and strengthen the position taken by the nations and insure a rapid and peaceful solution.” The significance of Briand’s words are not wasted on official Washington. That is to say they were not misunderstood. Premier of France a dozen times and foreign minister in almost every cabinet for decades, he never opens his mouth—above all in times like these —unless he has a message to deliver. That the United States has not actively co-operated with the league in all the league's efforts to head off a war in Asia, openly is charged in every capital of Europe, including Geneva. Nor, it is remarked, has it acted independently with any noticeable vigor, either to uphold the Kellogg pact or the nine-power treaty safeguarding China. Administration newspapers in this country have made even stronger assertions. One of them —the New York Herald-Tribune —made the categorical statement that while Washington was sending sharp communications to Tokio, the Japanese ambassador here was being given to understand that this country would not to strong measures. regardless of what the league might do.

Clinching Her Position Be that as it may, that Japan is convinced the United States and the league are split over Manchuria is being made increasingly obvious daily by events themselves. Instead of withdrawing her troops, she now is reported as clinching her hold over practically the entire area. To the timid or hesitant pleas of Washington and Geneva that she observe the vital peace pacts, Japan continues to answer with the thunder of her cannon, the zoom of her bombers and the tread of her advancing legions. At Washington, as well as at Paris, there is realization that the time for a showdown has come. The first major test of the world’s hard-won peace machinery is at hand, and Briand. along with others, has put the issue squarely up to the United States. Veteran Merchant Dies By United Press MT.

JUSTICE LATE AGAIN Ogden Reminded of Appeal Before Court Seven Years. In a Chicago court, Frank Sprague, official of the Grain Trading Corporation, is on trial for the murder of a police officer in a drunken brawl. And today, Attorney-General James M. Ogden was reminded of the tardiness of Indiana justice when an attorney informed him Sprague has had a false pretense appeal before the Indiana supreme court nearly seven years. The appeal has been perfected five years. Milo Feightner, Huntington lawyer and counsel for Sprague, set out details of the long-delayed appeal and inclosed a Chicago press clipping about the murder charge against the appellant. Freightner also called Ogden’s attention to another appeal which has been pending since September, 1926. Ogden said he will present the letter to judges of the supreme court.

More Than 2,000 Already Have Applied for Only 400 Positions. With probably no more than 400 positions to be open, more than 2,000 men have applied to Postmaster Robert H. Bryson for work during the holidays, the postmaster said today. No additional application blanks are to be given out after today. “There is no use in a man wasting his time and efforts to come down and fill out a blank,” he said. The number of extra men to be added to the postal department during the pre-Christmas rush is about 200 lower than last year, due, Bryson said, to the probability that there will not be as much Christmas mail this year as there was last. Os the 400 jobs to be allotted, 125 must go to men on the eligible list of substitutes. The remainder will be given out only to married men in good health and able to stand the physical demands of the work. Pay for the extra help is 65 cents an hour for clerks and 55 cents an hour for laborers, Bryson said. The jobs will be open as soon as the mail begins to be flooded with Christmas packages and greetings, perhaps about the middle of December.

CITY DEMANDS COURT BAN ON TAX RATE CUT Judge Kern Hears Pleas That 2*Cent Slash Be Disregarded. ASK PERMANENT ORDER Heads of Departments Take Stand as Case Is Opened. Arguments to make permanent a temporary order restraining the county auditor and, the county treasurer from putting into effect the $1.06 tax rate fixed by the state tax board were being heard today by Judge John Kern of superior court one. The city in its suit asks that the levy as originally fixed at SI.OB be collected, and that the state tax board’s slash of 2 cents be disregarded. Philip Zoercher, member of the tax board, and Hugh Merrifield, deputy attorney-general, appeared for the state while Harvey Grabill, county attcrrney, and Louis Eubank was called in by Harry Dunn, county auditor, and Clyde Robinson, county treasurer, as special attorneys. Law Not Followed Prefacing the questioning of witnesses, Eubank declared that the city had not followed faithfully the provisions of the iaw governing budgets in that the advertisements did not state that copies of the budget were on file in the office of the city controller and the ordinance itself did not set up the previous tax rates. Heads of city departments took the stand to show' that the SI.OB cent rate, as fixed by the city council, was not exorbitant, but merely sufficient to take care of the needs. Allowance Held Insufficient Jerry Gates, superintendent of the city garage, testified that the amount allowed him in the 1930 budget, $23,000, had been insufficient and that the expenditures of the department last year totaled $29,041.

WOMAN DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY ARREST; USES GAS TO DIE

life '

Slugged, Robbed, Taken to; Jail, Victim Sees No Hope Left. A few hours after she was arrested following a brawl and a robbery in her tiny apartment at Tenth and Delaware streets, Mrs. Evelyn Langdon. 21, committed suicide by turning on the gas in a kitchenet StOVG. Clad in gay, red pajamas, the body was found on a davenport by a janitor, with three notes lying on a table nearby. The woman was arrested Thursday night with Louise Gardner, 25, living in an apartment in the same building, and four men, two of whom today are charged with slugging her and robbing her of $lO. She had been released on bond of $1,500 shortly after her arrest. Robbery Is Charged According to police, Mrs. Langdon, mother of a small son, identified Vance Boyd, 25, of 124 West Twelfth street, and Fletcher Tynam, 36, of 736 Ft. Wayne avenue, as the men who interrupted a drinking party, slugging her with the butt of a revolver and robbing her of $lO she carried in her shoe. Boyd and Tynam are held on charges of robbery, drawing deadly weapons and vagrancy. Two men, said to have been in the apartment with Mrs. Langdon and Mrs. Gardner, were held on vagrancy charges. They are Richard Brady, 21, of 1852 North Pennsylvania street, and Jack Carter, 26, of 1?4 West Twelfth street. Tired of Living Mrs. Langdon apparently returned immediately to the apartment following her release on bond. In one note, written to Mrs. W. A. Langdon, 1712 Central avenue, her mother-in-law, as she turned on the gas, she said: “Dearest Marg: I am just turning on the gas, intending to end everything. I am so tired of trying to live and can’t, that I’m giving up.” “After leaving your home last evening I was slugged, robbed and arrested. I think that is the climax. I am ready to go. “Promise me you will do your best to explain to Ray for me. I really am sorry on his and Junior’s account. “Please don’t think too hard of my life, because I’ve tried hard. I just couldn't last. Will you please care for Junior. Your daughter-in-law, Evelyn.” Writes to Mother Junior, the son, is 4. He lives with Mrs. Langdon’s mother, Mrs. Charles E. Hershey, 307 South Gray street. Mrs. Hershey said this morning her daughter visited her and Junior Thursday evening. In a note left for her mother, Mrs. Langdon said: “I am sorry I. had to choose this way of ending my life without saying good-by to you once more. But, dearie, don’t worry about me. I will be happy. Will you promise to help look after Junior for me? I know you will dear, so please be good. Your loving daughter, Evelyn.” In a third note the woman had written “Please notify my mother.” The body was found by Arthur Carson, Negro janitor, after a resident on the second floor of the apartment reported smelling gas. Lieutenant Ed Shubert and Sergeant Claude Kinder, who investigated, sent the body to the city morgue. Records at police headquarters show that Ray Langdon, 24, the dead woman’s husband, was arrested Oct, 30, 1930, on charges of automobile banditry and robbery. He was sentenced in January in criminal court to serve ten years in the Inidana state reformatory. Langdon and Arthur Luethold, 30, were convicted of staging several robberies in and near the city, according to detectives. Leuthold also was given a 10-year sentence. Mrs. Langdon also had been arrested several times, but never was convicted, records revealed. She and Mrs. Gardner were arrested on a statutory charge and vagrancy following the fight and robbery, which, according to the apartment manager, terminated a drinking party. Mrs. Langdon had lived at the apartment two weeks. Woman, 91, Makes Quilts SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Nov. 20.

STREET FIGHTS FLARE AS N. Y. GREETS GRAND! Thousands of Police Guard Line of Parade as Envoy Reaches New York. MINISTER UNAFFECTED ‘lf You’re Not Safe Here Then I’ll Move Out,’ Says Walker. BY BATES RANEY’ United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Through mist-shrouded streets, Dino Grandi, Italy's foreign minister, who came to the United States to aid in promoting international good will between nations, passed today, receiving an official welcome. Thousands of police were on guard as he rode up lower Broadway, but only two untoward incidents marred the procession. One group at Bowling Green booed at the smiling Grandi, while, farther up the street, mounted police had to ride into the crowd. At that point Albert Guppelli started shouting “assassin.” John Lucci struck Cuppelli and in a few minutes several Italians in the immediate vicinity were fighting. Police rode in and cut off a fifty-foot section of the street, finally subduing the fighters and forcing Cuppelli into a store. Cuppelli kept shouting: “In 1923 they destroyed my newspaper—the assassins.” Showered With Paper At other spots along the route, however, Grandi was cheered by the early morning crowds. The throngs were held back by squads of foot and mounted police. Ticker tape fell from the windows in New York’s typical gesture of welcome. Chancellor Brown of New York university, who greeted Grandi in behalf of the city, said: “I am sorry this fog hides our sky line. If you will remain over tonight we will show' you the bright lights of Broadway.” Grandi smiled. Once at the Battery the party assembled in thirty cars and started the journey through the canyons of lower Broadway. Grandi w r as smiling and waving acknowledging of the welcome. He seemed unaffected ; by the two disturbances, if he even ! noticed them. At city hall Grandi was greeted by I Mayor James J. Walker. Jimmy Is On Time Walker was on time and called i attention to the fact, adding he knew the Italian foreign minister had to take a train to Philadelphia. Walker spoke of the cultural back- : ground the United States had ob--1 tained from Italy, traced Grandi’s brilliant career in the army and ■ in service of the Fascist state and J then spoke of reported threats against Grandi in the United States, calling them “propaganda.” “Mr. Grandi if you are not safe in New York City then I am going to move,” the mayor said. After the city hall reception, the official party re-entered the motorcars for a return trip down Boardway. There were new cheers for the smiling Italian foreign minister. At Battery, Grandi boarded the Macom which sailed for Jersey City, where Grandi was to board a special train for the trip to Philadelphia. Pledge Close Teamwork BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Assurances of close and cordial teamwork between the United States and Italy in attacking the world’s financial and disarmament problems were the results of Foreign Minister Dino Grandi’s visit with Secretary of State Stimson. Grandi left here at 2 a. m. today for New York, where he will be received officially by Mayor Walker. Signora Grandi remained here overnight and will meet her husband later today in Philadelphia, where he will go following his New York reception. Before leaving, Premier Mussolini’s dark-bearded foreign minister joined with Stimson in writing an official communique outlining their accomplishments. It detailed no specific agreements. It was replete, however, with expressions of understanding and faith. The two statesmen said they had a “frank and cordial exchange of views.” They declared their talks had served “to clarify many points of mutual interest and have established a sympathetic understanding of our problems.” Signora Grandi Leaves By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Signora Grandi, wife of the Italian foreign minister, left here by train today to join her husband in Philadelphia. She was to arrive in Philadelphia at 12:45 p. m. Signora Grandi had a special car attached to the rear of the regular Philadelphia train.
