Describe 4-H .Club Work for Kiwanis Ladies Night Party The work of 4-H clubs and other rural groups was featured in an ag- ricultural program given for mem- bers of the Kiwanis club and their wives or guests Tuesday evening at their winter ladies’ night dinner party. The affair was held in the Private dining room at the Grand Pa- cific Eat Shop. Places were marked for 68 at long tables decorated with bowls of red tulips and ferns. F. H. Waldo, club president, presided, and H. O. Put- nam, program chairman for the eve- ning, introduced the various speakers. Mrs, P. P. Bliss, McKenzie, named as North Dakota's outstanding 4-H 980, gave the main address, outlining the plan of 4-H club work and its benefits to rural communities. Her talk was followed by a demonstration of an outfit for @ vanity dresser by Madeline Boren and Ellen Reese, McKenzie, which they showed at a recent achievement institute in Fargo. Esther Watson, selected as the state’s 4-H club girl, spoke of her trip to Chicago. Other brief talks were given by W. J. Watson and P. P. Bliss, both of whom commented on the assistance given them by the county agent. Jus- tice John Burke gave a humorous talk in keeping with the agricultural theme of the program and President Waldo called on Mesdames H. F. O'Hare, W. G. Renden and P. E. Byrne for expressions of their opin- ion in regard to ladies’ night. The Sammy Kontos orchestra played during the dinner hour and dance numbers were given by Peggy Bergerson, accompanied by Mrs. Ar- thur Bauer. Later bridge was played, with Mrs. F. H. Waldo.and Al Brink receiving the prizes. Japanese Demands Called Impossible After Conference (Continued from page one) Mayor Wu Teh Chen, who also re- ceived a copy of the ultimatum, said the decision would be put up to the national government, temporarily function! at Loyang. It was thought probable the government would reject the Japanese demands. The Chinese also said they had not received a formal ultimaum but ex- pected one in the immediate future as a result of today’s brokne-down negotiations. . The Chinese version of today’s Jap- anese “demands” was that they not jonly withdraw twelve and a half miles but must agree that this neutral zone be permanent. A second provision {was the all Chinese fortifications in the Shanghai-Woosung areas and the Lion Forest forts above Woosung must be permanently demolished. The third provision and last was for permanent Japanese occupation of the Hongkew district of Shanghai , which, although outside the interna- \tional settlement is the home of many | Japanese, and is now occupied by the ; Japanese military. Army Moves Swiftly While the conferences were going on the big Japanese army continued swiftly to move out of its quarters and take positions along the front. The soldiers relieved the bluejackets who have patrolled the area between Chapei and Woosung since the hos- tilities began. The bluejackets were ett with only a half-mile sector along the boundary between Chapei and the international settlement. Units of Japanese artillery, cavalry and infantry moved out of the con- centration camp into the Yangtsepoo district and a fleet of tanks also was taken forward and assembled on the outer edge of the Hongkew area. Meanwhile the Japanese air fleet at the Yangtsepoo airdrome con- tinued to grow. Trucks poured into the field in a steady stream bring- ing knocked down planes from the ships. Mechanics worked busily assem- bling these planes as fast as they were brought in. The auxiliary airport, hear the main field, was completed today. Field Guns Set Up Outside the Japanese auiny. head- quarters on the edge of the interna- tional settlement three field guns were set up to safeguard against a Chinese artillery bombardment. These guns were pointed toward the Chin- ese area at Kiangwan. In the midst of the peace negotia- tions an important Japanese com- mercial institution in the heart of the international settlement was The bomb ex- ploded at the entrance to the offices of Mitsui Bussan Kaisha, a block from the famous Shanghai Bund. The blast tore away the entrance to the building and jarred the whole crowded business district. The building is headquarters for many Japanese organizations ope- ‘| vating cotton mills, steamships and importing and exporting businesses. TOKYO STATEMENT IS DENIED IN WASHINGTON Washington, Feb. 18—(?)—The state department made an emphatic denial Thursday of the statement made by the Tokyo foreign office that the U. S. had a hand in framing the to Japan which was delivered ‘Wednesday by the council of the League of Nations. It was said the U. 8. had no knowl- edge whatever of the framing of the (note and did not know that the note was to be delivered. Meanwhile, it became known that both China and Japan have been ad- both combatants at Shanghai prob- ably would be held responsible for a damages caused by fighting About two weeks ago American of- ficials at Shanghai communicated both with the Japanese and Chin- ese officials there, and made it clear that the U. S. would hold both the fighting powers responsible in case American interests and American lives suffer. Since that time there have been numerous informal conversations on the subject and many of the Euro- mation had reached Tokyo the first draft of the League of Nations coun- cil’s note to Japan yesterday on the Sino-Japanese controversy had eman- ated from American sources. How Japan would reply to the note had not been decided late today but official opinion favored a reply ques- tioning the legality of the council’s procedure, together with publication of a statement to the world, issued simultaneously, answering all the ac- cusations contained in the note. The note contained an appeal to “the supreme sense of honor of Jap- an” asking her to cease hostilities in China and said the 14 neutrai mem- bers of the council earnestly trusted Japan would “admit her obligations and justify the confidence imposed in | } SY; her by the rest of the world.” “There are strong indications Amer- ica had a finger in this ple,” an of- ficial declared. He declared, however, that the first draft of the note, which he asserted was of American origin, was much more mild in form than the note which finally evolved from the council’s drafting committee. In foreign office circles it was said the action of the 12 neutral members of the council was irregular, illegal and “entirely inadmissible.” “Few members of the council now are empowered to act in its name,” the spokesman said, “these 12 coun- cillors are not diplomats accredited to Tokyo, hence they have no right to address the Japanese government in the names of their respective states. ‘We intend to stress these legal ob- Jections in our reply.” “The document has created a most unpleasant impression here,” he said, “and it is unacceptable because it is addressed to Japan alone. “Those who sent it assume thereby that Japan is the aggressor, whereas the fact is that China is the aggres- sor. “Such a one-sided appeal is unpre- cedented in the league's history. It Prejudges Japan and intimates that the Chinese are in the right. We are Meee to accept any such intima- ion.” NATIONS WILL BE HELD ‘STRICTLY RESPONSIBLE’ London, Feb. 18.—(?)—Through the minister to China who is now at Shanghai the British government has warned the Chinese government eith- er side—China or Japan—will be held strictly responsible for acts such as the fatal wounding of two British sail- ors Wednesday when shells from the Chapei sector dropped in the interna- tional settlement. It was requested the Chinese mili- tary authorities be given strict in- structions to avoid further incidents of that character. No further action in connection with the death of the two men is con- templated here and it is assumed that the incident will be settled by pay- ment of indemnity to the sailors’ fam- ilies. NEW MANCHURIAN STATE PROCLAIMED Mukden, Manchuria, Feb. 18.—(?)— The newly-formed executive commit- tee of northeastern Manchuria at noon today proclaimed establishment of an independent Manchurian-Mon- golian state. Chinese leaders, with Japanese ad- visers, have been conferring here sev- erfil days, outlining the ground plan of the new state. An elaborate dinner was given at the Yamato hotel last night at which ;General Shigeru Honjo, Japanese Manchurian commander, attended, together with General Mah _ Chan- Shan, his one-time foe at Tsitsihar last November. There were 108 persons at the ban- quet. Of these 25 were Chinese and the rest Japanese. The founders of the state announc- ed they would serve as members of an executive committee to frame a con- stitution and select the perspnnel of the new government. ‘The state is to have the name of “ankuo”, which means “land of peace” and its national emblem will be the discarded Chinese five-barred flag, emblazoned with the rising sun of Japan, This decision was made yesterday by the Chinese officials, prompted by their Japanese advisers. \JAP POLICY MIGHT BE AFFECTED BY ELECTION Washington, Feb. 18.—(?)—Japan- ese policy in Shanghai and Man- churia may be affected materially by the result of Japan’s general elec- tion to be held Feb. 20. Far Eastern experts in the state department will be surprised if the present government under Premier Inukai fails to win overwhelmingly, as its militarist attitude apparently has been extremely popular with the masses. Too mild a Manchurian policy was one of the causes behind the fall of the previous government under Pre- mier Wakatsuki, head of the Min- seito or Liberal party. This party held a majority in the Japanese diet’s lower house, however, and because of the impossibility of a ministry handling such a crisis as the present with an unfriendly legislature the house was dissolved. Inukai Is Conservative Premier Inukai belongs to the Sei- yukai,* or Conservative party. His government practically took Japan off the gold standard, temporarily improving business; extended the military occupation of Manchuria; backed the aggressive punishment of the boycott at Shanghai; voted about $14,000,000 additional for mili- tary expenditures in China, and con- sequently goes before the Japanese voters asking support as an aggres- sive, militant organization. At the coming election an entire lower house membership of 466 will be chosen. Of these 352 will be from tural districts and the remainder from cities. A property qualification limits voting in Japan to men who pay $5 or more taxes annually. Campaigning is largely a matter of speech-making, the radio not being generally used and political parades having little popularity. Lower House Impotent ‘The lower house of the diet is not very powerful. It may be dissolved jby the emperor as a disciplinary measure, and the emperor reserves also the prerogative of declaring war, making peace, concluding treaties, promulgating laws and issuing urgent ordinances to replace laws. | The other branch of the diet is not, dissoluble.
