BRITISH SENTIMENT AGAINST EVER FIGHTING ON CONTINENT AGAIN; KEEP UP ARMS PACE Spending- More on War Machine Than Any Other Nation in Europe; Worried by French, Italian Fleets. Thl* t Ihr third of a teries of article by Richard I). McMillan on ‘-Why Doesn't Europe Disarm?" BY RICHARD D. M’MILLAN I nited Pren Staff C orrevfeondent LONDON, Jan. IK.—“lf there ever again is war between France and Germany, we in Britain will not fight. Our navy will protect our coasts. But a Continental war—never again!” This is the spirit which seems to animate the majority of people in the British Isles today. The British, like the Italians, are bitter about the consequences of the last war and many claim it was rank folly to send their war-time army of 5,000,000 men across the channel to aid France.

“France gained everything and we, who financed the war and are the only people to pay our debts honorably, lost everything except a few colonies which we really did not need,” the British say. “We have a burden of war debts, which has crippled us industrially and financially, and, bitterest blow of all to our pride and prestige, forced us off the gold standard. We blame that all on the war. So we sav, ‘Never again!’” Although the British say this, they are at present pouring out more money thr n any nation in Europe on armaments. Size of Fleets Worry With an annual budget for the army, navy and air force of approximately $55,000,000, the national government headed by the Socialist premier, Ramsay Macdonald, is keeping the big armaments firms busy turning out war material. Before 1914. the fear which was In the heart of every man, woman and child in the United Kingdom was the ominous might, growing year by year, of the German High Seas Fleet. But the German navy has been gwept from Iho oceans. Why, then, does Britain go on building more warships? If the British never will fight in a continental war again, whom do they fear? Britain’s main pre-occupation at the moment is the size of the Mediterranean fleets of France and Italy. At the time of the London naval conference in 1930, Great Britain showed her willingness for naval disarmament by agreeing to scale down her building program on a basis accepted by the other powers. Can’t Reach Agreement The British government, however. Inserted an escalator clause, whereunder she had the right to avail lyerself of additional tonnage in the vent of France and Italy not im- | ementing the agreement. ”"a,nce and Italy have not yet j ed agreement. They have been j ,g for over two years and, anwhile, France has made a gese which seems ominous to Brit- ! ish by ordering the 23,300 ton cruiser Dunkerke. The British have not yet announced their intention to fall back on the escalator clause, hoping that j either Washington or London's mediation will bring the two Latin nations together in restricting their navies and so removing the menace ! to the British fleet in the Mediterranean. Thinking of Colonies With her eyes on the Mediterranean, Britain is thinking of the safety of her communication with her colonies, of Gibraltar. Malta and Suez. At one time Britain's naval fears j extended to the far east, where Japanese had taken enormous strides, but this had been dissipated by the Washington and London agreements. England's apprehension, therefore, comes nainly from the continental powers. Among a section of the British conservatives there is strong support of the Fiench thesis of maintaining the present armed state of Europe until more effective guarantees of peace are forthcoming. Wants Treaty Revision Winston Churchill believes that France, as the head of a great system of states relying for tlieir safety on the existing peace treaties, is really Europe's protector. Adherents to this viewpoint in Britain believe that instead of pressing for disarmament at the present time, the nations of Europe should work towards eradication of the injustices under which the vanquished nations are laboring. This means revision of the Versailles treaty. Thus the interminable argument goes on. with each nation accusing or suspecting another while Ge>y.-r. seeks by every avenue to find a compromise. Hope Lies in IT. S. As strong supporters of the League of Nations, Britain believes ’hatcompromise yet will be Achieved*. In aiming for that goal, the British government relies greatly upon the aid of the United States, and gratefully recognizes the part unofficial American media ion has played, mediation which London believes finally will settle\he rrance-Italy naval squabble.

M'NUTT AGREES TO COMPROMISE Indicates He Will Not Try to Block Vote Provision in Utility Bill. Although favoring giving ratemaking powers for publicly-owned utilities to city councils, Governor Paul V. McNutt has indicated he will not oppose a provision in tha new public utility bill to allow citizens to decide by vote whether to have rates made by city councils or by the state's public utility commission. This possible compromise had been reached today after a conference with representatives of nine cities which own electric power plants. The representatives objected to having rates made by councils and demanded a continuance of commission control. Water companies owned by municipalities thus far have not joined electric plants in opposing the administration’s proposals. It was understood that the referendum vote plan would apply to water rates as well as to those for electricity. No action has been taken on the objection advanced by officials of several cities against assessing publicly owned utility plants for county and state taxes. Further meetings to discuss this provision of the administration’s measure were to be held today by a group of city officials headed by Dan C. Hess, superintendent of Richmond's cityowned electric plant. DENIES QUEEN WILL BE EXCOMMUNICATED Papal Envoy Refutes Report Pope Has Given Order. By I'nitnl Press SOFIA, Jan. 18.—Reports that the Vatican had ordered the excommunication of Queen Joanna of Bulgaria, because her infant daughter, Princess Maria Louise, was christened in the Greek orthodox faith were denied today by the papal nuncio. Mgr. Roncalli. No such measure is to be expected. the nuncio said. The pope protested to the foreign ministry that King Boris had agreed to christen his children in the Catholic faith after the pope granted special dispensation for his marriage to Princess Giovanna of Italy, a Catholic.

MARCH OF DEATH BREAKS JEHOL SLEEP

Roar of War Jars Crumbling Splendor of Ancient Manchu Capital

The grim rumble of Japan's modern war machine echoes through the narrow passes of Jehol. What of the glamourous past of this ancient province? What is it like today? These questions are answered in three articles—of which this is the first—telling the story of this fascinating, little-written-about land. By NEA Service JEHOL, time tarnished sleeping beauty of the ancient ing beauty of the ancient Manchus. stirs today in her bed of crumbling splendor, roused by the echoes of far-away barrage, the crackle of machine-gun fire, the disturbing hum of an army-plane overhead and the constant threat of Japanese occupancy. This is, indeed, a strange interruption of a slumber that was to end in slow death from erosion and rot. Sprung from the staggering empty spaces of Tartary, magically converted into one of the world's capitals of magnificence and regal pomp. Jehol had seemed to pass with her Manchu creators. History had wrapped up their lavish ceremonials and sent them to the seclusion of their “forbidden city.” The hundreds of pious Lama priests, colorfully picturesque in their red robes, had dwindled to a few dozen, clinging to the fringes of paupery. The temples in which these myriad priests had prayed before elegantly ornate idols became cadaverous skeletons of their one-time glory. New governments had come to China. The “pleasure palace” of great emperors is occupied by the governor of the Jehol province. General Tang Yu-Lin, who now directs the defense against Japanese onslaughts. There he makes his governmental headquarters, as have others in recent times.

So this province of Jehol, approximately 500 miles long and 300 miles wide at its extremes, has become a sort of modern Thermopolyae for the Japanese in their Manchurian campaign. Jehol is the “key’’ to China and control of it will consolidate Japanese gains in Manchuria and lay the groundwork for any other gains contemplated in the west. # # THE TOP of the province is a wedge between Mongolia and wedge between Mongolia and Manchuria. To the west about 100 miles is Peiping and to the east about 100 miles is Mukden. The base of the province is that part of inner Mongolia closest to the sea. Japanese forces have concentrated at the Manchurian coastal clay of Shanhaikwan. and Jehol lies tucked just beyond the Great Wall, with tortuous passes and treacherous, hilly roads in between. There are several towns within the province—which is a place of rich oases scattered among the hills and mountains—the leading one of which is Chengteh, more frequently called Jehol City.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

What happens at Jehol is watched by the world—but the world little knows of the glamorous Jehol. Even Hedin recently led an archaeological expedition into Jehol, at the behest of Vincent Bendin of Chicago, to copy the beauties of the fabulous Potola, greatest of the temples, so that a replica might be created at the Chicago Exposition of Progress. Ano in his book, “Jehol, City of Emperors,” Sven Hedin tells of the decaying glory of this almost forgotten province and said that not more than ten or twenty years could pass before the past glories of Jehol returned to crumbled dust. Thus the modern advance of artillery and machine guns into this province recalls the Jehol of the past—where the great emperors of China played and prayed and loved and hunted and where the great lamas had their shrines and temples. There was then, once upon a time, a certain K'aing-hsi, most wise and noble “Son of Heaven.” There were, too, those historicallytinsled descendants of Genghis

liam Stephens,'March 23, 1923, ten to twenty-one years, robbery, parole, and Guy West. Jan. 15, 1930, ten years, auto banditry, commutation. SCIENCE IN RELIGION DEFENDED AT PARLEY Manchester College Professer Is Speaker at Pastors’ Session A defense of science in religion was made today by J. Raymond Schutz, professor of sociology and philosophy at Manchester college, in the closing meeting of the fourth annual Pastors’ Conference at the North M. E. church. “This is a time when we must co-operate with God by knowing as much of science as we do of theology." Dr. Schutz said, in speaking on “An Adequate Faith for an Age of Disillusionment.” A business meeting closed the three-day session. Other speakers were Dr. George A. Campbell, and Dr. Ivan Lee Holt, both of St. Louis, and the Rev. B. R. Johnson, of the Downey avenue Christian church, Indianapolis. CANT BE HONEST IN POLITICS, IS CLAIM That Warning is Voiced to JournalStudent by Roosevelt Adviser. By t'nited Press NEW YORK. Jan. 18. —Colonel Louis McHenry Howe, for many years confidential adviser to Pres-ident-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, Tuesday told the students of the Pulitzer school of journalism at Columbia university that “you can’t adopt politics as a profession and be honest.’’ RAIL ENGINEER IS DEAD L. H. Warren. 48, With Big Four for Last 25 Years. After an illness of four months, L. H. Warren, 48. locomotive engineer for the Big Four railroad for twenty-five years, died Tuesday at his home, 207 Norm Pershing avenue. Funeral services will be held at the home at 2 Thursday. Burial will be in Floral Park cemetery. He was a member of the Baptist church and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

Khan, arrogant, defiant proudhearted riders of Mongolia who had threatened to conquer most of Asia. And in a little known wilderness spot, within the bounds of Mongolia, the autocratic K’aing bethought of himself to pour an incredible fortune into a temple-city so impressive as to make the gasp for breath and bow in awe. So K'aing began the glited and garnished Jehol. Innumerable vassals were “appeased and pacified,” according to an ancient chronicle. # # # IT was Chien-lung, worthy “Son of Heaven,” who put the final brilliant finishing touches on the work of his grandfather. Upon his 60th birthday this emperor probably gave solemn consideration to his ancestors and to his probabilities of joining them and conceived the Potola, with a further genuflection in the direction of such tribes as the Dzungars, who, with the princes from Mongolia and Sinkiang had sworn allegiance. And all of them duly faithful to the Lamas.

INDIANA COUNCIL TO JOIN LEAGUE ORDER State Organization to Become Branch of National Group. The Indiana Council on International Relations will become a branch of the League of Nations Association, according to a decision made Tuesday by the board of directors and the membership of the council. The decision followed an address by Philip C. Nash of New York

at a luncheon in the Columbia Club. Nash is national director of the association. No change will be made in the personnel of the local organization, of which David M. Edwards is executive s e c r et a r y. Mr. Edwards is a former president of Earlham college. However, more stress will be placed upon

Edwards

legislative efforts to build peace machinery, with emphasis on United States relations to the League of Nations and the World Court. Not only will the council become definitely linked more with a national policy on foreign relations, but organizations in about twentyfive communities over the state will be considered subsidiary units of the local branch. RAILWAY FARES SLICED Low Rates Will Be in Effect to Western Vacation Spots. Lowest round trip rail fares ever offered to western national parks and vacation spots will be in effect during the 1933 season, according to announcement today by H. W. Siddall, chairman of the western passenger association. Round trip tickets will be on sale daily from June 1 to Sept. 10 at the rate of one fare plus 50 cents for the round trip from Chicago or St. Louis and intermediate points to Colorado. The Black Hills of South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah and Yellowstone, Glacier, Zion, Grand Canyon and other western national parks. The return limit will be sixteen days in addition to date of sale. The tickets will be good in coaches and chair cars and also in sleeping and parlor cars upon payment of regular charges. Full stop-over privileges will be allowed.

The Potola, or chief temple, was something resembling the last word in grandeur. Four years and much gold were required to build it. And, as if by some mystical sign, the Torgots returned from their epic flight and wanderings just as the Potola was completed. The Torgots were an Eleut tribe, more recently identified as the Kalmuks. They had wandered from their farms and cattle preserves into Russia. They grew to a people numbering a quarter-million or more. Rivalry between their leaders brought about a tragic political move, in which one Übasha Khan convinced the followers that they should flee Russia, where they had been dwelling on the Volga banks. # # # DESTH and destruction followed every foot of their lowed every foot of their flight. Russian troops sought to check their revolt. A deadly winter came and caught them as they made their way toward China. Thousands died —men, women, children. Cattle and horses fell

By Times Special BOONVILLE, Ind., Jan. 18.—Formal dedication of Boonville’s me- j morial to Abraham Lincoln, just ; erected on the courthouse square, ; will take place in exercises at the j high school on Lincoln’s birthday, I Sunday, Feb. 12, with Governor j Paul V. McNutt as the principal ! speaker, it was announced here to- j day by the Warrick County Historical Society. The memorial consists of a bust of Lincoln, made from one of his j earliest known adult photographs, and a bronze marker commemorat- j ing his association with Boonville j and this community while the Lincoln family was resident in Indi- | ana. It was to Boonville that Lincoln j came as a boy to attend court j trials, to borrow books and for other purposes that were part of his education. A monument and marker also have been erected on another part: of the square to William L. Bark- : er, long president of the Warrick j County Hostorical Society and of the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society, who led in the research into the life of Lincoln in Indiana. These will be dedicated at the same ceremony. Boonville for years has paid trib- i ute to Lincoln and his connection j with this community.

City of Emperors,” by Sven Hedin; courtesy of E. P. Dutton & Co.) dead on the trek. No hegira in history is marked by greater calamity. That was another January. Then, as now, the sub-zero winds from the Gobi became enemies as violent as the soldiers encountered. Their trail dripped with blood and corpses. Those who survived came back at last—back to the shadow of Jehol; a scattered few out of hundreds of thousands. Many of these still carry on. Many make up the guerilla army that has figured in the dispatches from the current fight zone. Not more than a year or so ago, it was an ill-paid soldier group which centered its activities about Jehol. Bandits infest the highways and rivers, and have for years. # # # WHAT a contrast to the caravan-series of the Manchus, van-series of the Manchus, which came to use the “summer palace;” which made an Oriental Versailles of Jehol. Then there was the most extravagant of entourages. Gilded rickshaws, carrying the nobility; emperors’ trains; yellow palanquins of the emperors and empresses; leaders at the head of troops; slaves, eunuchs, concubines—all the glittering pageantry of the past has followed the road from Peiping as the Manchus left the old Peking for summer holidays and winter hunting. Today, from other roads, an enemy unlooses barrages — the governor of a republic leads an army—there are no parades and no Arabian Nights pictures— Only the freezing winds from the Gobi and the sea!

ALABAMANS IN DRIVE TO CUT STATE’S COSTS Citizens for ‘Committee of 500’ to Help Solve Fiscal Ills. BY CHARLES EPMCNDSON Time* Staff Writer BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Jan. 18.— Representative citizens throughout Alabama, aroused at the apparent inability of Governor B. M. Miller's administration to balance the state budget and support public education under present strained conditions. have formed a “committee of 500" to evolve a program to solve the state's fiscal ills. This commute, which within a month has assumed a recognized position of influence throughout the state, had its inception in a small group of younger business men of Birmingham. Last fall, this group formed a club to study the state's affairs, with a view to working out an integrated • tax program, and laying plans for j the future industrial and agriculj tural envelopment of the state. Soon they saw a field for lmme- ; diate usefulness. Influential busi- , ness forces, controlling a large i block of votes in the legislature, j hopelessly were deadlocked with Governor Miller over financial poli- ! cies. Organize Leading Citizens The most pressing problem was the funding of the state’s floating debt, estimated at between $15,000.000 and $20,000,000. A special session of the legislature last summer submitted to the people a debtfunding bond issue of $20,000,000, but it was opposed by business interests. and overwhelming was lost. I Similarly an income tax amend- ; ment which failed to stipulate a ; limit was defeated in a referendum. | The business group contended that I rates in excess of 6 per cent would mean industrial suicide for the | state, and that it was unsound in that no constitutional limit was j provided to prevent an increase in the rates by future legislatures. The group of young men thereupon decided to organize leading citizens throughout the state, with the idea of proceeding on a fair and j earnest basis that would minimize opposition to the program agreed on. No difficult was experienced in getting outstanding business, industrial and legal figures to serve. Benjamin Russell, textile manufacturer cf Alexander City, was chosen chairman of the committee. Objectives Were Announced. The following objectives were announced : 1. A fund for funding and paying outstanding warrants (the floating debt). 2. A report on the desirability of suspending new highway construction in the interest of operating the schools, one-sixth of which are closed on account of insufficient funds. 3. A comparison of reductions in salaries and other expenses of the state with those taken in the average private business. 4. Determination of the desirability of recapturing 1 cent of the 3-cent state gasoline levy from the county governments and using it to keep the schools open. 5. A report on the possibility of lowering the high per capital convict cost. 6. A decision as to the most available form of additional taxation, in event the investigation should prove economy alone to be insufficient to balance the budget. Special Session Called Since the committee began work. Governor Miller has called another special session of the legislature to meet Jan. 31. Indications are that the administration and business leaders will be able to get together on a bond or interest-bear-ing warrant issue, which will probably be about $3,000,000 less than the one previously submitted. Chances also appear good for agreement or. a moderate income tax, with a limit written into the constitutional amendment. At the last special session of the legislature, economy measures totaling more than $4,000,000 were put into effect, but further economies will be considered at tho coming session.
