2 %% FIGHTING CEASES ON CHINESE BORDER Railway and Other Officials Return to Village Reds Attacked. By the Associated Press. MUKDEN, Manchuria, September 11—An official communique of the! Manchurian government today an- nounced that fighting which broke out at the end of last week between Rus- sian and Chinese soldiers at frontier points in Eastern and Western Man- churia had ceased. The fighting at Manchuli, western terminus of the Chinese Eastern, stopped late Monday. Railway, tele- graph and customs staff at Pogranich- naya, where severe fighting, with the village itself in flames, was earlier re- ported, have returned to their posts. 68 CHINESE WOUNDED. Victims of Attack on Village in Eastern Manchuria. SHANGHAIL, September 11 (#).— The captain of a Chinese river steam- er arriving here today said Soviet troops yesterday bombarded the village of Kuochiatien. Many were killed and wounded- Railway authorities here were in- formed today that 50 Chinese soldiers and 18 Chinese employes of the Chinese Eastern Railway, were in_hospitals after the Soviet attack on Pogranichnaya, Manchurian frontier city. Details of the fighting were lacking. The body of & Russian railway work- er was found today in the new Harbin railway shops. Authorities said the man apparently had been strangled. | The incident has embittered feelings be- | tween the Chinese and Russians. LONDON DOUBTS REAL WAR. Communications Cut Off With Eastern End of Railroad. LONDON, September 11 (#).—Ob- servers were still skeptical that the Chinese and Russian armies had met in & general engagement. The Russian air attack at Mulin was said to have been for the purpose of crippling the Chinese Eastern service by damaging the coal mines in that region. The railway depends on these for fuel. How far the attack succeeded Was not clear. Tass, official Soviet news agency, aft- | er declaring “the entire military situa- | tion remains obscure,” gave its_own | version of recent fighting. From | Vladivostok it had word that 200 Chi- | nese invaded Soviet territory mear | Grodekovo, 15 miles northwest of Ata- maovka, killing a sentinel and wound- ing others of the Soviet border guard. Red troops finally drove off the Chinese. The Chinese were said to have at- tacked a Red Army detachment en- gaged in haymaking west of Manchuli, but in Soviet territory. Vigorous coun- ter measures by Soviet guards forced the Chinese to withdraw. GUNBOATS IN SKIRMISH. Manchurian Rivers Scene of Reported Belligerent Moves. MUKDEN, Manchuria, September 11 (®)—An official communique today stated there had been a skirmish be- tween Chinese and Russian Amur River gunboats at Blagoveschensk Monday. The Russians subjected the Chinese to heavy machine-gun fire, * 1t was said seven Soviet destroyers had taken up a position at the con- fluence of the Amur and Sungari Rivers, “apparently seeking to blockade it.” The Sungari flows through the heert of Manchuria into the Amur River, which is the border between Northern Manchuria and Siberia. TRIAL IS ENLIVENED BY ATTORNEYS’ CLASH Judge Threatens M. J. Lane With Jail for Contempt During Courtroom Hostilities. A heated argument in the jury branch of Police Court yesterday afternoon in the course of which Defense Attorney Michael J. Lane threatened to strike Assistant United States Attorney James Kirkland if he said anything further ended abruptly when Judge Ralph Giv- en commanded Lane to be seated or he would send him to jail for contempt g; court without opportunity to pay a e. ‘Two men were being tried for posses- sion of whisky. Lane, their counsel, in his examination of the defendants, questioned one as to whether he had been convicted before for a violation of the prohibition law, but failed to ask the other. Kirkland, in his ad- dress to the jury, brought out this fact, intimating that Lane had omitted this question because he was afraid of the answer, Judge Given ruled out this statement of Kirkland's. After the pros- ecutor had expressed a desire to get the defendant back on the stand, Lane made the threats. After order was restored in the court- room, the jury retired and returned fol- lowing a stay of over three hours with v]a‘rdl':!.s of not guilty for both Lane's clients. TINY REPUBLIC FIELD FOR TOURIST TRAVEL Andorra Picturseque Mountain Territory in Eastern Pyrenees, to Be Industrially Developed. By the Associated Press. ANDORRA, Republic of Andorra, September 11.—This tiny and pictur- esque mountain republic, nestled in the Eastern Pyrenees and independent since the time of Charlemagne, is being open- ed up for industrial and tourist ex- ploitation. A Franco-Spanish company, with headquarters at Lerida, the neighbor- ing province of Spain, was organized toxuy to exploit the great water power resources of Andorra, harnessing the Balira River Falls. Andorra authorities have hitherto strongly opposed all foreign influence, French or Spanish, and jealously guard- ed the rights of their 175 square miles of territory. The concession granted now by the Spanish bishop of Urgel, co-suzerian with the French govern- ment, is the culmination of many years of negotiations. . Under the concession highways .also are to be built across the territory where sew exist only mule tracks and trails, permifting tourists to . motor through one of the most plctunsTl regions of the Pyrenees. Andorra's in- habitants, numbering 6,000, are mostly shepherds.

Libby and William B. Shearer. They Evidently Disagree. Extracts from % “The American Peace Movement’ BY FREDERICK J. LIBBY. (National Council for Prevention of War.) HE American peace movement is a growing force in the na- tional life. It will be profita: ble to appraise its charac- ter, strength and aims. Women and Churches the Backbone. The organized women and the churches constitute the backbone of the peace movement in America. This makes it quite cifferent in character from the peace movement in other countries. Labor is much iess active on this issue here than in Europe. The farmers are fully oc- cupied with their own economic problems, though emphatically op- posed to war. Business groups know little as yet about the subject, al- though Inte: ional Rotary has of- ficially made world peace its “sixth object.”” Our ex-soldeirs are doing nothing for peace as an organized body, despite excellent resolutions that were adopted by the American Legion three years ago at Omaha, and the undoubted personal concern of many individual legionnaires. The liberal wing of “big” business is for peace, but without noise. It is among the women and the churches —and the colleges—that the pres- ent strength of the American peace movement lies, * * ¢ ‘What It Is Not. * * * The facts are that none of our peace organizations or leaders are Communists or in alliance with communism. None is financed abroad. None is foreign controlled. In response to the natural ques- tion as to the proposition of “thor- ough-going pacifists” (in the narrow sense) to be found in the American peace movement, a fair estimate would be that not 10 per cent pro- fess to reject war utterly. Probably over 90 per cent accept ively the nationalist dogma that if one's country is at war, one must support it regardless of the issues, and find a moral justification for doing so as one can, Yet in ministerial circles and in the colleges much thinking and much discussion of this phase of the war problem are going on. How Increasing Preparedness Affects the Peace Movement. We still hear it said in America that “everybody wants peace.” Under such circumstances one might sup- pose that it would be hard to dis- tinguish the peace movement from the rest of the population. Actually the line is sharply drawn and with scientific precision by the issue of increasing military preparedness. “Militarism,” in the correct sense in which we are using it, is the same the world over. It is not a hanker- ing for war. It is a definite theory, namely, that national security rests on the nation’s armed might. The more armed might, the greater the nation’s security. “The second best navy—or army—is worse than none.” The pacifists (in the broad correct sense of the word) every where reject this theory as histori- cally discredited and clearly unten- able. Every nation not be the strongest nation, and failure to keep up in a race in armaments leads to fear, hatred, military alliances and, ultimately, war. This is not theory; it is history. Increasing armaments mean actually increasing the gen- eral sense of insecurity. Security, according to the pacifists, must be sought by the nations jointly. Un- less all are secure, none can be. At bottom we have here the old issue of cutthroat competition versus co-operation, of general anarchy versus the reign of law. * * * Position on the Army and Navy. While the American peace move- ment has not thought through all of the complexities of its problem, it is fairly well agreed on certain fundamental issues. One finds & well defined policy with regerd to the Army and Navy, substantial agree- ment on world organization and the outlawry of war, and a pretty clear foreign policy to cover our dealings with Latin America and China. On the evil effect of a big naval building program there is intelligent and united sentiment in the peace movement. Any child—except a mil- itarist chilj—can see that such a naval program as was advocated by the “big Navy” group is competitive and leads toward war. On the other hand, since the peace movement is at least 90 per cent middle-of-the- road and the other 10 per cent stresses education, the regular Navy appropriation bill went through Con- gress without protest providing mon- ey for eight 10,000-ton cruisers which were authorized two years ago, six of which had not been started. (The 71 ships were to be in addition to these). So it cannot be said that the pacifists are trying to “scrap” the Navy. We are agreed in opposition to competitive and dan- gerous increases. We expect reduc- tion of armaments to come by inter- national agreement. We are ready now to support a conference looking to that end. Attitude Toward Outlawry of War. Coming now to the constructive side of the movement, we will be- gin with the attitude toward the Government's own peace plank. The signs point to a general and enthusiastic support on the part of the whole peace movement for the proposal to renounce war as a na- tional policy. Militarist and nation- alist opposition has not yet ex- ressed itself, but will undoubtedly ke the form of nullifying reserva- tions proposed in the Senate and clustering about- the Monroe Doc- trine. Attitude Toward World Organization, ‘When war has been outlawed, how are disputes to be settled? A poll of the American peace movement ‘would probably show 90 per cent of its active adherents, both in the churches and in the women’s organizations, as in favor of our country’s membership, at least ulti- mately, with or without reservations, in both the World Court and the League of Nations. * * * North as well as South, by far the greater part of the peace leaders, both na- tionally and locally, are for the League. Moreover, despite all oppo- sition to the ue in our count and from those who expect too mucl of it, and from our ultra-nationalists and militarists, who, as I have ex- plained, cherish the dinosaur's dream of armored isolation, events driy- ing us steadily toward it and the Kellogg proposal will hasten the movement; In the t deadlock on our entrance into the World Court there is no question whatever that the only opposition to our Government's negotiating with reggrd to the am- biguities in phrasing that are keep- ing us out comes from the national- ists; the peace movement is ite unanimous for immediate er- ence, .

HE proposed drastic cut in the Army and Navy program will be well aired on the re- conveni of Congress, and it is safe to predict that party lines will be broken. ‘There is no evidence that the Mac- Donald Labor government of Great Britain or Japan, France or Italy will scrap any ships bullt. If, how- ever, the United States suspends its naval building program and the United States Army suffers any dras- tic reductions, then the question be- comes a national policy and justi~ fies the question, “What is this blind faith that would lay the rich~ est nation in the world open to at- tack?” In England, Premier MacDonald will be opposed in any attempt to reduce the present size of the Brit- ish navy or demolish any British naval bases. Japan, no doubt, will agree with the opposition of Mac- Donald as it is feared MacDonald leans toward a radical policy. ‘The League of Nations is confront- ed with the baffling question of re- duction of armament in view of the policy of Soviet Russia, which main- tains the largest army in the world. The reduction of American forces at this time seems to meet the ap- proval of the MacDonald forces, which is not consistent with the military and naval situation of the world. In the pending congression- al fight it will be difficult to con- ceal the World Court advocates who are determined to leave naval dis armament to preparatory arms com- mission of the League of Nations as another move to force our en- trance into the World Court, which could render an advisory opinion on any question submitted by the League of Nations. Pacifism, liberalism and radical- ism seem to have joined under the banner of internationalism in an at- tempt to weaken the United States. ‘This, in turn, is reflected by the pol- icy of the League of Nations to force this Nation into the League through the World Court, and any attack on our military and naval establish- ment, if successful, would put us in a submissive position.

(space the By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, September 11.—The New York Shipbuilding Co., the ship- building subsidiary of the American Brown-Boveri Electric Corporation of this city, issued a statement yesterday in connection with the suits filed re- cently by Willlam B.

The statement in part of the New York Shipbuilding Co. follows: “The suit now pending in the New ‘York courts brought by Willlam B.

Frederick J.

A. R., “the leading or- recent campaigns would do the same. investigation of Willlam B.

The trick is too obvious “Peace Drives in Open.” “The peace organizations have been conducting their campaign against in- ordinate increases in the Navy openly. “When, on three occasions, it has been proposed that the National Coun- cil for Prevention of War be investi- gated, we have responded that we were ready to co-operate fully in an impar- tial “investigation that would include the organizations that were working for and against these increases.” Libby's organization was in communi- cation with Shearer on one occasion in the Winter of 1928, shortly after the 71-ship bill was sent to Congress by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur. The National Council for the Prevention of War circularized against the bill ex- tensively and Shearer acknowledged the receipt of a form letter which Libby had sent out by sending him a copy of a pamphlet he had prepared called “The ,Cloak of Benedict Arnold.” On ‘the inside of the cover Shearer had written in longhand as follows: “Dear Sir: I have read with much interest your letter of January 27, and suggest you read my contribution for peace.

Shearer had noted, “See page 41" and on that page of his pamphlet h= had underscored for Libby's convenience a reference to the National Council for Prevention of War and his own descrip- tion of the organization as “one of these idealistic and un-American bodies that | advocate complete surrender of our na- tional and commercial independence.” Did Not Acknowledge Letter. Libby did not acknowledge the letter: Of his own organization, Libby assert- ed that every dollar received comes from American contributors. “There is no foreign influence being brought to bear upon our policies, which are democratically determined by the or- ganization,” he declared. “I believe the same to be true of the other peace organizations. We advocate reduction of armaments by international agree- ment, a sane and reasonable policy. We have never sought the disarmament of America alone.” The stream of publicity matter issuing from the council’s headquarters is ds prolific as that sent out by Mr. Shearer from New York, although the exact antithesis in nature. Mr. Libby, chief spokesman for the council, has been just as vigorous in his denunciation of cruiser bills and battleships as Mr. Shearer has been enthusiastic in their support. Mr. Libbey has campaigned actively in behalf of American adher- ence to the World Court, while Mr. Shearer has denounced the Court and the League of Nations by radio, letter and statements to the press. Mr. Libby has sent out stereotyped resolutions, ready for adoption by or- ganizations opposed to nearly every- thing Mr. Shearer says he stands for, just as Mr. Shearer has sent out reso- lutions opposing the ideals of the coun- cil. Urges Sweeping Inquiry. In his letter to Senator Borah Mr. Child wrote: “The investigation of the Shearer case ought to be undertaken by the foreign relations committee, of ‘which you are chairman. It should be sweep- j ing, ie, should include not only the shipbulldi companies and their ac- tivities, which have shocked the Presi- dent, but should extend also to lobbies carried on by the employes of church organizations and of fanatic pacifists’ machines which do not make plain the sources of their funds, or to prove their freedom from relationship with radical alien internationals, or which foreign- spired proj intended to keep the United States in various states of coma in its various relations and de- fenses. shipbuilding companies and one car- ried on indirectly by some foreign power against the upbuilding of our merchant marine T see no mioral difference, and { condemn each.” An idea of the scope of the activities of the national council is obtained best from a printed sheet of ‘“suggestions for peace activity' in Fall 'and Winter of 1929” now distributed by the council. % s The list of tions follows: “1.

CAROLINA STRIKE REPORTED SETTLED to Marion Mills on a 55- Hour Week Basis. By the Assoclated Press. MARION, N. C., September 11— Striking union textile workers, some of whom have been unemployed for nearly two months, were free today to return to their jobs in the Marion Manufac-| turing Co. and the Clinchfield mills, after the calling off of the strike last night by officials of the United Textile ‘Workers of America. Most of the former employes of the Marion mill, which resumed operation Alfred Hoffman, Southern organizer of the United Textile Workers, refused to make any further statement. Settlement of the strike was an- nounced in a statement by H. A. Town- send, executive counselor to Gov. O. Max Gardner, last night. Townsend said the strike had been settled, with a 55-hour week forming the basis of the settlement. With operations on the 55-hour-week basis, the pay per hour and per piece- work system will ‘continue. At the end of six weeks the mill management may submit to_ its émployes the question o! whether the workers wish to remain on a schedule of 55 hours or go back to the 60-hour schedule on the present basis of pay.

In a recent letter to the general sec- retary of the council Willlam B. Shearer, big Navy advocate, whose ac- tivities ‘are to be investigated by the Senate, made such an assertion about Gordon.

There should be effective opposition to any universal draft bill that may be presented to Congress. Actually the Reed-Wainwright bill is the one behind which the military groups are organiz- ing. Any draft legislation this Winter, when the peace psychology is so_en- couraging, would be a disaster. This bill, by temporarily evading the issue through the appointment of a com- mittee to study the subject, might win the support of men who oppose this type of legislation; and when a report comes back to Congress with the weight of such a committee behind it, they may find it difficult to refuse support to the report. “3, For the schools and churches of your communities Armistice day offers the best opportunity of the year for peace programs.

Homer Broileau, 34 years old, a painter and decorator, who for the last 10 years has lived with his wife and thrée children in Brentwood, Md., just across the District line, was held in the guardhouse at Fort Myer, Va.. today while military authorities sought in- formation to support a charge that the man deserted from the military service shortly after the armistice was signed. Maj. Cortlandt Parker, acting com manding officer of the fort in the ab- sence of Col. Guy V. Henry, said that Broileau's case probably would be dealt with leniently, in view of the fact that records indicated he had been honor- ably discharged from the Navy after hostilities had ceased. It was after that he went into the Army. Indications were that Broileau would be released in a few days. Information furnished by & person whose name Fort Myer officers would not divulge led to the arrest of Broileau yesterday at the instance of Lieut. C. P, Barnum, prison officer at the fort. Broileau was taken into custody at his home, in the 3800 block of Thirty-first street northeast, by Brentwood police and removed to the fort after a pre- liminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Robert Joyce. Brolleau is said to have overstayed his leave from Camp Lewis, Washington State, 10 years ago, and then, after four days, decided not to return, Military au- thorities are checking at the office of the Adjutant General of the Army for the service record of Broileau.

A letter from him to London associates, intro- duced by the prosecution, says of Americans: “They are not to be relied upon either by word or contract.
