DETROIT MAN TAKEN FOR “RIDE” BY PAIR Shot and Dumped From Car at “Double-Cross Corner”—Left to Die. By the Associated Press DETROIT, November 11.—“Double- Cross Corner,” near the entrance Ifl‘ Elmwood Cemetery, claimed another victim Monday, when John Barrett, legger, was dumped from a car and left there 'to die from a gunshot wound. An Italian gang war several years ago put the corner into the headlines, when many such “rides” ended with the bodies of the victims huddled against the cemetery fence Before he died in Receiving Hospital, Barrett told detectives last night two men had picked him up on a downtown street and shot him while in their car. He_claimed he did not know them. To a man who rushed to his side as he was thrown from the car, he said, “Dcn't bother; they framed me.” A prohibition charge was pending against Barrett in Recorder's Court.

Casualties included seven Japa- nese soldiers wounded. A foreign office spokesman reiterated Japan's determination to stand friend- ly, regardless of consequendes, on her principles in the Manchurian dispute. 11 all the facts are explained, the League of Nations, he said, may conceive of the establishment of permanent interna- tional control in China, en the theory that “only foreigners would be able to give China honest government.” TIENYSIN FIGHTING RENEWED. Foreign Troops Guard Concessions as Rebels and Regulars Reopen Fire. TIENTSIN, China, November 11 (P) ~—Bursts of rifle fire at the boundary between the Chinese city and the Japa- | nese coltession were renewed tonight and the Japanese garrison gave evi- dences of feverish activity. French troops, which had established a strong patrol about the French area, increased their precautions and all pedestrians in the vicinity of the boun- dary were searched and traffic in the sector was prohibited after 8 p.m. British troops partolled the western section of their area with fixed bay- onets during the afternoon, forbidding the approach of Chinese in order to prevent a raid on the Japanese conces- sions in that direction. ‘The Chinese, who appeared confident yesterday that the rebel attack was broken, were extremely anxious today. They said Japanese, wearing Chinese Japanese women and children were centrate and proceed under escort to the Japanese barracks, while the men were enlisting as volunteers. The general outlook was regarded as extremely ominous. Ask International Guard. Representatives of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and other trade | organizations renewed petitions that| American, British and French troops be posted to guard the “no man's land” between the Japanese concession and the city, from which the Chinese re- tired in pursuance of a Japanese ulti- matum. These business men also dispatched an urgent cable to Dr. Alfred Sz, representing China on the League of Nations' Council, requesting that the powers authorize such a guard. “The situation is critical.” the cable- gram said, “a business panic is communications are dis- {mavzd and urgent action is impera- ive.” MARTIAL LAW IN SHANGHAL Foreign Settlements Heavily Patrolled by Chinese Military Units. SHANGHAI China, November 11 (#). —Martial law, effective at night, was declared in Shanghal today to guard against anti-Japanese outbreaks, and Chinese military authorities established heavy patrols around the areas adja- cent to foreign settlements. Outbreaks were regarded as highly possible. The order is to continue in effect at least until November 16, when many Chinese consider Japan as obli- gateq to withdraw her troops from Manchuria. Sporadic anti-Japanese activities con- tinued today. ~Anti-Japanese organiza- tions seized Japanese merchanaise in| Chinese shops and many Japanese pe- destrians were attacked in the streets. The commercial boycott against Jap- anese goods is having a particualrly sharp effect, especially on Japanese cotton mills, whose sales have sunk 80 per cent. Militaty authorities at Hankow also clamped down martial law tonight in fear that outbreaks similar to those in Tientsin would occur.

Yukio Ozaki, oldest member of the | Japanese Parliament, who, when he was mayor of Tokio, made the gift of the first of Washington's famous Japanese cherry trees, today, as a visitor to Wash- ington, warned that unless quick steps are taken to i{ron out the Japanese- Manchurian difficulties war threatens. In an exclusive interview Mr. Ozaki | E | T am very anxious over the Man- | churlan conflict.

How far the nations will forget themselves | and their plans for peace may be only | 100 well indicated by events which may | follow a jong"continuation of the pres- ent trouble between Japan and China. “In 1868 the reformation, or, as it is | sometimes called, the resto: . per took place in Japan. The Liberals and | the Conservatives gave way to the civil trolled the Emperor and the entire | country. The military faction is now | stronger than ever, due to the Man- churian conflict. During my 41 years in the Japanese Diet I have seen the | need for international citizenship, lan- guage and currency if disarmament is to be obtained andiworld peace assured My aim has been disarmament for more than 20 years, and, together with others who have foreseen the nced of a firm international relationship, I have been seeking to discover a method by which this may be accomplished. | Selected Trees Personally. “I suggest the League of Nations as a feasible medium through which to | gain internationalism,” Mr. Ozaki said. | “Nations meeting under friendly condi- | tions such as the League could offer | would in time gain the international | viewpoint, so essential as a stabilizer | for world problems.” During the 10 years when Mr. Ozaki | was_mayor of Tokio the first shipment | of cherry trees was sent to America, He | personally selected about 3,000 young trees and shipped them as a friendly gift to the American people and an assurance of the firm bond between the Japanese and Americans. When the shipment arrived it was discovered that etery tree was infected with a cisease which required their immediate burn to protect this country from future contamination. Since the Russo-Jap- | anese War was being contested at this time, many people in this country con- | sidered the unfortunate condition of the trees as a direct menace to the United States from Japan. When this condition of the shiprlent was made known to him Mr. Ozaki im- mediately set aside a large acreage, had it complete devitalized—that is, de- stroyed every living thing on and in it—and planted new trees, this time from the seeds of the trees, so that no possible cisease could be spread through use of young shoots, as was formerly the case. In 1907 this second batch of cherry trees was shipped to Washing- ton, where they bloom ecach Spring as an assurance of the friendly bond be- tween the Japanese and the American peoples. “When I learned the fate of my first shipment of cherry trees.” Mr. Ozaki said, “I remarked to friends that it was |an old American custom, this destruc- tion of cherry trees, started by George ‘Washington.” Tells of Experlences. Mr. Ozaki and his two daughters, Shinaye and Yukika, are stopping at the La Fayette Hotel, intending to spend about two weeks in Washington. The dean of the Japanese Dict told some of his_experiences_in.Japanese politic While making & speech on disarma- ment in a town-in Japan Mr. Ozaki | was warned by the chief of police that an attempt on his Jife probably would be made. Undaunted. however, by this danger, which had been visited upon many of his friends, some of whom were killed, others wounded, ke continued with his speech. Suddenly & ruffian approached him with a club and swung it at his head. Mr. Ozaki, who was a great smoker, had a cigar in his hand, and in throw- ing up his hand to ward off the blow | knocked hot ashes in the fellow's face. The attack was abandoned. { Again, while having a massage in his | rooms after another speech, two hired attackers gained access to his room. | Spying him lying helpless on the table, | one of them threw a wooden brazier | full of hot charcoals at his head. Mr. | Ozaki merely pulled the sheet over his head and the contents of the brazier fell against the paper walls of the Japanese house, setting fire to them. In the confusion the masseur ran out of the room with a brass brazier which the mssassins had overlooked while the defeated attackers made their‘exit. ‘Mr. Ozakisaid heintended tospend some time in libraries, seeking information | for his proposed plans of disarmament. | When these plans are complete he bopes | to call on Mr. Hoover at the White | House, there to lay before him the | fruits of his labors to discover a method | for international peace.

Dawes' standing. particularly as the American Ambassador to Paris is at home on leave. “It is not anticipated that Gen. Dawes will find it necessary to take part in the meetings of the League Council, but he will be in a position to confer with the hepresentatives of the other nations present in case such con- ference should seem desirable.” CONSIDER TMPORTANT STEP. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The sending of Gen. Dawes to Paris to discuss with the other leading diplo- mats the question of the Manchurian crisis before that matter comes to the Council of the League of Nations is con- sidered in diplomatic circles as a very important step taken by the State De- partment. Gen. Dawes is not expected to sit at a League meeting on November 16. He | will have, however, a good deal of free- | dom of action when he meets the other diplomats in Paris and will be in a posi- od | tion to tell them frankly what steps the United States contemplates taking in China, and how far this country will go 'and military clans, and the latter eon+ in its co-operation with the action of the Council regarding Japan. In this matter, while the United States will maintain a completely free hand, the Council of the League will be fully in- formed as to what steps it can take and keep in complete harmony with the poli- cies of Arerica. This was considered necessary because heretofore, in spite of the desire of this | administration to work closely with the Council of the League in the Man- | churian crisis, there have been a num- ber of misconceptions, of which both belligerent states, Japan and China, had been endeavoring to take full advantage and celay the simultaneous action of the League and the United States. The de- velopments of the last month have proved this amply. ‘The League is expected now to take final steps to put an end to the Man- churian = trouble. By sending Gen. Dawes to Paris with wide powers to discuss fully the action to be taken by the interested powers, the delays which have occurred heretofore will thus be avoided.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass., November 11.—A cut of 10 per cent in wages afecting “officers, -executives, salaried employes and wage earners,” was an- nounced yesterday by the New Bedford Cotton Manufacturers’ Association. The reduction, which would become effec- tive the week of December 7, will acect 16 mills and approximately 20,000 persons. The executive council of the New Bedford Textile Council has referred the communication of the manufac- turers to the local unions for balloting without recommendation. In a statement subsequent to the announcement of the cut, the council's committee said that investigation by them disclosed that the manufacturers’ “claims of general reductions in col peting centers are founded on fact.” SICK ANIMALS TO GET ULTRA-VIOLET LIGHT Denizens of Pittsburgh Zoo, Ill, ‘Will Be Treated With Rays Similar to Sunshine.

(GHINA WILL ARM [F LEAGUE FAILS Nanking Conditionally Ac- cepts Hoiday Hinging Upon Settlement. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, November 11.—A threat of war in Manchuria and official notifica- tion that China will begin an arma- ment expansion program unless a Man- churian settlement is effected was be- fore the League of Nations today on the thirteenth anniversary of Armistice | | day. As a result, there was no jubilation in Geneva, but a profound sense of the | gravity of the situation and the neces- | sity for bringing about peace in a crisis sprung upon a world already bur- dened financially and economically. ‘The Chinese threat is contained in a note from the Narking government pre- sented by Dr. Alfred Sze, its representa- tive on the League Council. The note contained a flat notice that if negotia- tions under the League covenant and the Kellogg pact fail China will build up her fighting forcés to protect her- self against Japan. Acceptance Is Conditional. A conditional acceptance of the League’s proposed one-year arms holi- day was inserted in the note, but the condition was based on “the fssue of the present Manchurian conflict before the League.” Hopes of the League were based on the coming session of the Council which reconvenes at Paris next Monday. but this hope was none too bright. Some melancholy satisfaction was derived from a belief that the Manchurian is- lsue is now so clearly drawn that the | Council must take some definite action mediation. ‘The fact that 40 nations have signi- fled their acceptance of the one-year arms holiday gave additional ground for whatever optimism was to be found. The truce is a dubious thing under present circumstances, however, for all the great powers have accepted it with reservations. Japan's acceptance de- States depends upon Japan. Sze Blames Japan Again. In the Chinese note he presented last night Dr. Sze said the Japanese au- thorities at Tientsin are “suborning the dregs of the population” to foment re- volt against the Chinese government while China relies on the League cove- nant and the Kellogg pact as “bulwarks of peace.” If the League, he said, cannot en- force article 10 of the covenant, which says: “Members of the League under- take to respect and preserve, as against external aggression, the territorial in- tegrity and existing political independ- ence of all members * * *” China, with her 400,000,000 people, is ready to exe- cute its terms herself. ‘The World Disarmament Conference, scheduled for next February, was con- sidered to be under a heavy cloud with less than three months remaining until the date of convening. An anxious hope ver would make some strong announce- ment supporting world security and disarmament today.

Japan’s Casualties Placed at 129 Dead; China’s Believed 800 By the Associated Press. TOKIO, November 11.—The killing of three Japanese soldiers in fighting along the South Man- churian Railway yesterday brings the total Japanese casualties to 129 dead and 302 injured, the war office announced today. The number of Chinese casual- ties is not known here, although, according to press reports, from 800 to 1,000 are believed to have been killed. The Japanese forces in Man- churia were estimated by the war office at 13,000, and the Chinese at 250,000. Many of the Chinese have deserted to form gypsy bands, however, it was stated. if Japan again rejects its measure for | pends on China and that of the United | was expressed here that President Hoo- | Serious Confl Frederick Palmer, distin- guished as a war correspondent, draws on his knowledge of the Far East to present this analysis of the Japanese-Chinese situation. Col. Palmer was last in Manchuria in 1929, when China and Russia were at odds. During the Russo-Japanese war he was with the first Japanese Army in the fleld. He was with the expedition for the relief of Peking in 1900. He is the author of “With Kuroki in Manchuria.” Col. BY COL. FREDERICK PALMER. Destiny is marching toward the day when Manchuria will be the cockpit of a mighty struggle for the dominion of Northeastern Asia; but, in my opin- ion, the present crisis is only the fore- runner of many crises before the one which will cause an explosion which will shake the world. ‘The cards on the table of the Coun- cil of the League of Nations, in this instance, have direct relation to arms. | No rival can challenge Japan's mili- tary power in Manchuria at_this mo- ment. Neither Russia nor China has a navy worth mentioning. nation of the two greatest navies in the world. with their bases at such im- mense distances from China, cannot dispute control by the Japanese Navy— with its ample battleships, cruisers and | destroyers—of the landlocked Sea of | | Japan, which is so rich in harbors and | inlets as nests for submarines, supple- | mented by airports which can send | planes forth for such short flights to i their objectives.

She has the ports of Southern Man- churia as secure for her ships to disem- bark men and supplies as she has | the Korean-Manchurian Railroad Line | for the rush of troop trains. 1,01 00 Men in Six Weeks. | In the Russo-Japanese war, Japan disembarked 30,000 men from a single fleet of transports. The number of i her ships, plying in home waters, which could be immediately put into military service, is now much greater. 1 am warranted in saying that in six weeks after mobilization of her reserves began 1 she could have a million men in Man- | churia, She has the necessary arms and mu- nitions ready.

Russia is limited for transport of men and supplies to the bottle neck of the long | stretch of single track railroad in East- ern Siberia. She is not even as well |off as Japan for funds to carry on a long and costly war, as this would be, if fought to a finish. Meanwhile, Japan aims at increasing political as well as trade domination of Manchuria to protect her railroad, | mines and expanding interests in Man- | churia. ~ She foresees as definitely | nearer the time when Russian expan- | sion will demand the outlet to the sea from which the czar's army was driven by Japan in the war of 1904-5. Chinese Rush to Manchuria. “It may be 10 years, it may be 50,” I heard an old Russian colonel say, aftér the decisive Japanese victory at Mukden, “but Russia, vast and mighty | like the tide of the sea, will come back.” | | In spite of the pressure of population in the homeland of Japan, it is not Japanese settlers who are following the Japanese flag into Manchuria: nor is it Russian seitlers who are pressing on | the Soviet border of Manchuria. Year after year, from half to three-quarters | of "a “million Chinese farmers have moved north from China proper to fer- | tile, undeveloped land in Northern | Manchuria. Their influx has made a| busy growing city of Harbin—source of varied war alarms—which is the capital | of the district between the Japanese| and Russian sentries.

World Opinion Chtna's Weapon. Japan’s is a powerful government of a homeogenous and military race and a disciplined army against a Chinese nationalism which is not yet beyond the wish stage. The more Japanese pres- sure is resented, the more attacks and sabotage there will be. Japan would make it appear that the Chinese always start the trouble, and that her answer is necessarily a punitive advance by her military outposts for the protection of Japanese property and the restora- tion of order. Literally, Japan says to the League: “This is my affair. And who has the force to interfere with me in man- aging it in my own way?" Already entrenched in Manchuria, Japan waits on Russia to start the fu- ture war. Russia must wait on the | double tracking of the East Siberian | Railroad and upon the fruition of her | five-year plan before she can challenge Japan. Then her immense resources might supply her with munitions far | greater than Japan would ever have at | her disposal for the service of a man- | power far larger than Japan's. If the dream of Chinese Nationalism | should be realized in an integrated na- | tion and a real national army, another force would enter the arena where the which Chinese, and not Russians or Japanese, are populating. Russia will use all available diplo- matic_pressure to curb Japan's expan- | sion, but”the time is not yet ripe for | war, unless both Tokio and Moscow have lost their reason. The power that the League has over Japan, and the Chinese have over her, is world opinion. When Japan considers war she must consider | world relations very seriously, if she is | to float loans to pay the costs.

The Democratic leader fn the Sen-* |ate told the “disarmament bagqust’ cf the Good Will Congress that crities have poured their vials of |upon the President's head bscauss | joined with the Council of ths L of Nations to compose tho diff~re | that have resulted in a state of war in Manchuria.” One was led to believe, Scnator Walsh said, that “in_their unrestrained s venom toward the League, this bloc would rather that open warfare, in- volving all the resources in men and money of the Orientals, should ensue than that the League should be credited with a part in averting it.” Calls Isolation Futile. Representative Ruth Bryan Owen and Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan, commander of the 27th Division of the A. E. F., were other speakers before the congress, sponsored by the World Alliance for In- nal Friendship Tbrough tae EIRY he Let 'em fight” policy was not very strong in America, Senator Walsh said, and “the whole course of history demonstrates the futility of the isola= tionists' program for insuring peace.” “While conceding the high minded- ness of the isolationists, those of us who do rot concur in the do-nothing policy modestly maintain that ours is the more effective, the more Christia policy and it has the approval, as I belicve, of the vast majority of the American people.” Gen. O'Ryan said: “All the world is armed to the teeth” and that "+ are drifting steadily and surely in., a bigger and more evil war than t™ ast.” Mrs. Owen Discusses Youth. The former Army officer said he was “one of those who believed the tr: gedies and waste of the World War were so colossal and widespread that not again in our time would there be another war between civilized peoples and that the understanding of such peoples was such as to insure the de- velopment of the League of Nations and |the World Court to substitute the | processes of law and justice for the | waste of war. | “But anomalous as it may seem,” Gen. | O'Ryan continued, “the United States, | which proposed this world agency for the substitution of law for war, has | remained aloof.” Mrs. Owen told the congress its most | important world could be donme among the youth of the world. “What youth today,” the daughter of William Jennings Bryan said. “the world will do tomorrow. Our small boys and girls do not think of the Atlantic Ocean as a barrier separating continents and peoples. Aviation has taught them it is just a place to hop - across. | “Youth has energy and idealism. {* * * It youth could only retain those |two qualities the world would benefit.” Mrs. Owen described her work in se- ;chdng the ‘“best citizens” among | Florida high scinool students and show- ing them around Washington in order to reward their patriotism. She sug- gested the plan be tried in other States. Would Change Naturalization. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, New York | clergyman, suggested that Congress | amend the naturalization law “so as to remove the possibility of a conflict be- | tween loyalties.” | . “The decision of the United States isupreme Court denying naturalization | t> a distinguished Christian because of | his_insistence that his relation to God | stands above every other loyalty due i from him, contravenes the real spirit and intent of our Constitution,” he said. ‘The Congress voted to “‘express to the | President our unqualified approval of | your efforts in safeguarding peace under the Kellogg pact by collaborating with the League of Nations in dealing with the Manchurian situation.” “We urge you,” the telegram read, make an immediate public declaration that an American representative will again sit with the council when it re- convenes November 16 for further con- sideration of this problem and that . the United States will co-operate with the league in making effective the find- ings of the Council.” ' IOWA GROUP TO DANCE | _ The Towa Society of Washington will | hold its first dance of the season at the ‘Wlllflrd Hotel on November 17 at 8:30 o'clock.
