WAR ONLY WAY FOR NIPPON TO SAVE HER FACE Boycott Reprisal Fails; May Invade China or Go Back North. BY WILLIAM PHILIP TIMMS Srriopa-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Once the Japanese have extricated themselves from the hot water they got into at Shanghai, a move against Nanking, Hankow or even Loyang, the provisional capital, is deemed likely. Only one other alternative remains, according to military observers here; namely, to give up further operations south of the Great Wall, withdraw into Manchuria and consolidate their gains there. But that, it is pointed out, would be tantamount to an admission of failure, and orientals attach vast importance to what they call “face.” The avowed reason for attacking the Chinese in China proper was to kill the boycott of Japanese goods, and it now is clear that regardless of what happens at Shanghai the boycott will go on. China Now Aroused This means the Japanese cither must crush the Chinese government at Nanking, Loyang, or wherever the government goes, or give up the whole thing as a bad job, and go back to Manchuria, w’hich they now apparently regard as their own. Never for an instant have officials here believed the Japanese entertained the slightest territorial or political ambitions in the region of Shanghai. The Yangtze valley is Great Britain’s claim, should .China ever fall apart or be partitioned, and of this the Japanese are aware extremely well. The blow at Shanghai, therefore, was a blow at the Chinese boycott nd as such it has failed of its purpose. The events of the last ten days there have roused the Chinese more than the preceding four months did in Manchuria. So, the Japanese must push on, Beyond the mouth of the Yangtze, or take their licking and go back to Mukden. Mobilization Order Ready A campaign as far inland as Loyang—or Kaifeng, as it is also called—doubtless would necessitate ppen declaration of war. For while Nanking or even Hankow, could be j taken by a naval expedition, par- i ticularly i n the summer, when the melting snows of Thibet make it possible for deep draft vessels to navigate the Yangtze, the capture of Kaifeng would be another story. It is reported that Premier Inukai now' has an undated general mobilization order signed by the fimperor for use whenever the Japanese general staff asks for it. The above may serve to explain. Kaifeng, six times the capital of China, again is the seat of government. President Chiang-Shek and some of the country's ablest generals are now conferring in this stronghold. As long as they can continue to hold out there, it is difficult to see how the Japanese can win. Additional Conquest? Tokio from the first has insisted that Japan and China must be allowed to settle their quarrel with- ! out outside interference. At the , same time the Japanese demand! a free hand in Manchuria and the Chinese, just as categorically, refuse to treat on any such basis. The defeat of China in war, therefore, appears to be the only possible way out, if Japan insists upon having her way. Even had the Chinese been willing to discuss Manchuria with the Japanese before Shanghai—which they were not—since Shanghai there doesn’t Seem to be a chance. Capture of Kaifeng would require virtually Japan’s whole army and navy. Occupation of the much coveted Shantung peninsula probably would enter into the Japanese plans. If formal war is declared they probably would remain there, fts well as in Manchuria, retaining this valuable area as part of the spoils.

HOUSE-TO-HOUSE JOB CANVASS SCHEDULED Legion to Seek Work Monday for Unemployed Men. American Legion post officials today were completing plans for starting Monday of a state-wide house-to-house canvass to obtain odd jobs for unemployed men and to induce employers to add at least one more man to their present forces. The campaign was discussed at a meeting of Legion heads Monday in the Indiana department headquarters here. More than 275 Legion posts in the state are to participate, it was said. Where employers can not take on any more men, it was decided, they will be asked to adopt the six-hour day, five days a week working schedule' to provide employment for more men. The Indiana Legion’s employment program is being directed by William O. Nelson, Anderson, state employment chairman. HELD IN HOUSE THEFTS Rugs, Furniture Linen, Jewelry Seized; Couple Arrested.

Jazz King’s Opinion Carries Weight Despite 100 He’s Lost in Year. Bu -V EA Service BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 9.—Paul Whiteman, the old music master, used to live in a glass house himself. But now he’s throwing stones. With 100 pounds off his chest—well, off his chest and also off other places—Whiteman feels free to do a little grand and lofty predicting. He predicts that the day of the radio crooner is nearly at an end. “Crooning will die out,” he says. “Something will replace it. Maybe Rudy Vallee will find out what that something is and supply it. Or maybe he will step out of the picture for a time and then come back. There is always a brief revival before the end.” Whiteman twirled his mustache a twirl—and, boy, that’s a trick in itself! “A good musician doesn’t mind playing what the public wants,” he said. “The catch is to find out what.” Paul lost his poundage by careful dieting. And he’s making a comeback as a music king through radio and the four-a-day in the theater. Fish with eyes that shine like motor headlights in the dark have been received at the London, England, zoo.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LENTEN FASTING IS ABROGATED Depression Dispensation Is Granted Catholics. Catholics in Indiana have been granted a general dispensation from fast and abstinence during the Lenten season this year, so that business may not be-curtailed. Granting of the dispensation was announced at all Catholic churches Sunday in the pastoral letters of Bishop Joseph Chartrand of the Indianapolis diocese, and Bishop John F. Noll of the Ft. Wayne diocese. “In view of the difficult and depressing times through which we are passing,” said Bishop Chartrands dispensation, “the poverty and misery so widely spread; so deeply suffered; of the almost continual appeals from all sides for help and relief; we hereby dispense the whole diocese from the law of fast and abstinence, the law of abstinence for Fridays excepted, during this season of Lent. “We urge upon all the diocese, the parishes, and individual members of each parish, to do everything in their power for the poor and the needy, and to pray fervently that God in His mercy may send peace and prosperity to a distracted and depressed world.” Why Use a Bladder Physic? To drive out impurities and excess ac'ds that cause irritation which results in waking up nights, irregularity, leg pains or backache. BU-KETS, the bladder physic works pleasantly on the bladder as castor oil on the bowels. Get a 25c test box from your druggist. After four days if not relieved go back and get your money.

Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for huilding up the system after colds or flu.
