TIENTSIN, November 12.—More trouble and possibly serious fighting is ex- pected tonight because an arrangement by which the Japanese agreed to per- mit a search of the neutral zone border- ing their concession by Chinese police has broken down. The Chinese were to search the area for rebels who participated in rioting | ecarly in the week, but when 100 police entered the neutral turned back by a Japanese patrol which charged that the Chinese had tried to extend their operations into the Japanese concession Now each side is accusing the other of having broken the agreerent. V. S. Troops on Duty. United States troops patrolled the vicinity of the American barracks and the former German concessions today and last night following a night battle, during which sharp firing was renewed in the west concession of Tientsin. Japanese sources said the firing was especially sharp in the direction of the Nankai Girls’ School. Neither the Nankai School, nor the Keen School, which is connected with an American Methodist Mission, actual- ly were fired upon, as far as could be learned, but many bullets dropped on the premises of the Keen School during the fighting. The same thing happened in widely separated places throughout the city, even in the British area, and this led to the belief that the raiders were firing occasionally into the air or at random in all directions.

State Department Still Optimistic Over | Situation in Manchuria. Undersecretary of State Castle sald tcday a compromise plan to be brought forward at the League of Nations' ses- sion in Paris next week was the basis for the American Government’s opti- mism over the Manchurian situation. Although the secretary would not g0 into details, it was said in other official quarters the plan already had taken definite_shape in ccmmunications be- tween European and American states- men and stood a good chance of accept- ance by both the Japanese and Chinese governments. ‘Whether the plan involved the send- ing of a neutral commission to Man- churia was not disclosed. Nothing Mars Optimism. But observers thought such a com- mission might militate against open hostilities and that the time necessary for it to report might permit the two nations to “cool off,” thus paving the troops attacked Japanese guards at the Nonni River bridge and were repulsed The London Daily Mail today, in a dispatch from Harbin, quoted the Chinese general, Mah Chan-Shan, as saying Japanese troops were advancing rth of Tsitsihar “possibly with the tention of preventing Soviet ter- ference” in: ghe Sino-Japanese comflict.

College girls have been supplying truckloads of food and clothing to his army, the general was quoted as say- ing, to alleviate a serious shortage of food, ifts of fqod and clothing, he snl:d, were sent from Harbin and else- whei - 4 the fighting at the Nonni River,” he said, “we withdrew 12 miles and our line is now maintained with 10,000 troops. “Since the arsenals at Tsitsihar pro- duce only 10,000 cartridges and 100 shells a day, our defense weakened as the struggle continued and we could only die doing our duty.” Sir John Simon, the new foreign secretary, will represent Great Britain at the meeting of the League of Nations Council Monday. Economic Ban Doubted. ‘The belief prevailed here that the League would not use its weapon of economic pressure against Japan to force compliance with its peace de- mands. One observer pointed out that the United States sells - $300,000,000 worth of cotton to Japan every year and that in these times of lean markets it probably would not be willing to sacrifice so important an item. Great Britain is also anxious to avail itself of every possible advantage in increasing its trade in the Far East with the spur to British exports which resulted from suspension of the gold standard. Every other European na- tion, it was belleved, also would hesi- tate to endanger its export trade. In ancient Egypt high officials and | great nobles wore, on ceremonial oc- casions, a false, short beard strapped to the point of the chin. The false beard of the king was always long, to thus | differentiate him from his subjects. Fast One Night Out Train FLORIDA ATLANTA and Winter Tourist Tickets Now on Sale Dally.

Is Ready to Go Further in Promoting Peace Move. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, Switzerland, November 12 —Brief reports of President Hoover' Armistice day speech received at Geneva sast night gave officials of the League of Nations tremendous encouragement in their efforts to straighten out the dispute in Manchuria. Observers interpreted his assertion that peace “cannot be had by resolution and injunctionjalone” as an indication that the United States is ready to take a more advanced position than the League Council itself has taken thus far in mediating the Sino-Japanese quarrel, and even is ready to go as far as the League covenant provides for settlement of the dispute. Sanctions Are Next Step. 8o far the Council has limited itself to_resolutions and injunctions. The next step would be sanctions of some sort, but, although they are pro- vided for'in the League covenant, the Council has scarcely dared to con- template them. This hesitation has been due hitherto to uncertainty in Europe regardins what course the United States would | be willing to support in enforcing peace. “Personal Contact” Welcomed. League officials heartily welcomed the President's reference to strengthen- ing international confidence by closer personal contact of the nations' lead- ers, pointing out this is exactly what the League has been trying to do for the last 12 years. The exact significante of this part of the speech caused some speculation here, and commentators were asking whether it meant that Mr. Hoover wants the heads.of the Japanese and Chinese governments to come into per- sonal contact, or whether he was sug- gesting by inference a general inter- national gathering. Some observers “suggested that suc! a Statement might preparing th way for & Washington Peace Confer- ence.

'CHINESE BOYCOTT AIDS BRITISH MILLS | Lancashire Textile Industry Pro- vides Jobs for 40,000 Unemployed. By the Assoclated Press. MANCHESTER, England, November 12.—Hostilities in Manchuria have been perhaps the most important factor in 1educing England's unemployment, mill owners in this cotton manufacturing district believe. The Chinese boycott on Japanese goods and the consequent increase in demand for Lancashire textiles has pro- vided jobs for about 40,000 mill workers and nearly 500,000 have been switched from part-time to full-time work. Ever since early last month unemployment has been decreasing steadily all over the countr yand a big share in the drop 1s due fo increased activity in the cotton industry. Cotton sales are reported to have jumped 100 per cent, and mills which were operating at 40 ger cent capacity in August and September, are now run- ning 75 per cent or more. More than 20 mills, some of which have been closed as long as four years, are work- ing again. | Actually three factors have contrib- uted to give the industry this new lease | on life. The fall of the pound lowered England’s selling prices as compared with those of Japan, the strengthening | of the purchasing power of silver played ‘:L; pnr: and the Chinese boycott did e Tesf 'EX-LIFER CONVICTED OF THEFTS IN SCHOOL John P.

The coming Congress will be the | battleground of opposing forces in at- tempts to slash armaments, Henry L. Stevens, jr., national commander of the | American Legion, predicted last night |in a special Armistice day program broadcast by WRC and a network of o‘ther National Broadcasting Co. sta- tions. Stevens declared plans are under way to reduce the navy in 1933 to “the lowest ebb of combat efficiency since | pre-war days.” Pershing Hits Laxity. Speaking over the same network, Gen. John J. Pershing indicted Congress for | previous laxity in_maintaining the na- tional defense. He said the United States “should not again be gullty of that lack of military foresight which has always been the weakness of our national lawmakers, and which has made it well-nigh impossible to train, equip and transport our armies to the battle front in time to save the allies.” Stevens said the present naval re- | duction program will contribute to un- employment, as 80 per cent of con- struction represents labor. Curtailment of naval ship building, he asserfed, is in opposition to recom- mendations of the Legion's National Defense Committee, adopted unani- mously at the Detroit convention. “The coming session of Congress wit’ see the principles of universal service |in time of war presented for final ac- | ceptance in the fundamental plans for | the future defense of this Republic and for insurance in maintaining peace,” Stevens said. “Equal service for all and special privilege or profit for none in war has been the plea of the vet- erans of the World Wer since the earliest days of the American Legion.” Urges Larger Army. Insisting the Army @5 well as the Navy is below the minimum consistent with national security, @tevens said the Legion ‘“earnestly recommends & pro- gram of expansion of the air forces of the United States until they are on |a par with other nations’ before our Government participates in any further disarmament conferences.” Gen. Pershing said there exists no such thing as a “militaristic spirit in America,” but added “adequate prepa- ration against war does not mean ag- gression.” He pleaded for a general understand- ing among nations and for adequate | congressional action to maintain Amer- ica’s armed forces at a standard suf- danger of war., AIR MAIL THROUGH HERE OVER 2,000,000 POUNDS October Figure Reaches High Total as Eastern Air Transport Car- ries Nearly 4,000 Passengers.
