China Balks At Jap Usurpation REFUSE TO ACCEPT JAPAN’S EXPLANATION OF TROOP MOVEMENT IN NORTH NANKING, China. May 28. China refused today to accept Japan’s explanation of why she poured thousands of additional troops into North China. In answer to a protest from the Nationalist government, Tokyo exolained that the increasing number of Japanese subjects in North China made necessary a heavy reinforcement of her Tientsin garrison. The foreign office here issued a statement disclosing it has instructed Its ambassador to Washington and other Chinese diplomats in world capitals to inform the governments to which they are accredited that China is unable to accept the reasons Japan has given for augmenting the troops. In addition the government was understood to have forwarded a new protest to Tokyo. The statement of the foreign office denied that unstable political conditions exist in North China, as Japanese officials have asserted, and reiterated the view that the Increase of Japanese troops in North China “cannot fail to arouse Chinese suspicions nf Japan’s motives.” China’s latest protest was understood to point out that strong reinforcements are not permitted under he Boxer protocol.

BISHOP OXNAM IN FAREWELL CHAPEL TALK OEPAUU STUDENTS HEAR LAST INFORMAL \DDRESS BY PRESIDENT MEHARRY HALL CROWDED Student Body at University Attend S|M*cial Chapel En Masse Wednesday “Faithful sons of DePauw, go out to proclaim for His Church, Christ’s promise of rebirth I" This call was President Oxnam's parting advice to DePauw students in his farewell ad dress to DePanw at Meharry Hall Wednesday morning. The auditorium W'as packed with students anxious to hear the President in his last appearance before the student body. As President Oxnam concluded his address. a feeling of sadness seemed to pervade the audience and the students were silent as they filed out. Although they had cheered his appearance to the rafters of staid old Meharry Hall. President Oxnam reviewed his eight years at DePauw and described something of what he had attempted to accomplish. He began his address by describing a play called “If”. “There comes an “if" moment in the life of every person,” he said. “The "if” moment has come to me the time for making a decision—it will come to every student here.” He told of the one objective underlying all his talks to the students at DePtauw. I have attempted to do somching with the motives with thr hearts, w'ith the wills of students, he said. I have tried to buttress their motives and wills with determination. Cause light to shine in the faces of the people, the goal of the great Dr. Rosenwald. was one of the subjects of bis chapel talks that President Oxnam reviewed. "No light is brief that doth perfection win” was another theme which the speaker cited as one which he had used to try to mold a correct attitude of the student toward life. “You are going out into communities where there are little people,” President Oxnam warned the stu lents "people who are concerned only with petty things and who live on a small plane. You can become like them, or you can tie up with the few, big people who are also to be found in every community." The speaker pointed out that if enough joined the "big" people, there would be a new Jay in America. In conclusion President Oxnam quoted verses that Mrs. Tilden had written to go with the music by Professor Thompson in the oratorio for the Sesquicentennial of the Methodist Church. The first part of the poem portrays the wild and lawless frontiersmen of America in their conquest of the wilds, and how they forgot God. Then the first Methodist preachers went forth into all the country to proclaim Christ’s promise of rebirth. President Oxnam affirmed that thus should DePauw students go out from DePauw. Bishop Oxnam will make two more speaking appearances before a Greencastle public before he leaves for Omaha thirf summer. He is scheduled to preach the Sunday morning service at Gobin Memorial Church and will deliver the Baccalaureate address before the graduating class of DePauw University Sunday evening.
