By the Associated Press. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Pebruary 26.— Again charging that “administration { Propagandists” are heading the United States towards war with Japan by ex- aggerating the fighting prowess of the Chinese and belittling the Japanese, Gov. Willlam H. Murray of Oklahoma adcressed a capacity audience in a| local auditorium yesterday { It was the fourth speech of his cam- paign in Indiana for the Democratic presidential nomirat'on. and _imme- diately afterwards he left for Indian- apolis, to wind up his Hoosier schedule. The Governor said the work of the “propagandists” was to create a war in order to better business conditions and re-elect the present administration. Must Have Platform. In Indianapolis Gov. Murray declared the Democrats will have to nominate !a man “with a better platform than President Hoover.” or the party will be defeated at the polls next November. “Republicans who think more of their | party than of their country, and Demo- | crats who are talking everywhere that any one they nominate will beat Presi- dent Hoover are mistaken,” Gov. Murray said. If we nominate a man who is no better than President Hoover the Dem- | ocrats will not win because the Repub- lirlli'n party has more votes than our pa Has Auto Accident. Gov. Murray was delaved because of a slight automobile accident, near Alexandria, Ind His car careened into a ditch after striking another car in avoiding a head-on collision with a truck which was said to be running without lights. Aside from being shaken up, Gov. Murray and members of his party were uninjured. Gov. Murray charged that the United States had been without leadership since the world war, and been been “driven along by propaganda pald for by utilities and corporations.” “I am a candidate now because I know that I know more than any othe man spoken of for the presidency.

Creech, first lieutenant, 148th Aero Squad- fon, Air Service, American Expeditionary Force, received the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism in action with the enemy, on various dates and in va- rious places in Prance, 1918. Being on enemy patrol, September 26, Cambrai, large number |enemy airplanes was encountered, in the fight that ensued Lieut. Creech shot down two of the enemy planes and saved the commander of our patrol frem being shot down. On October 28, Inear Jeblain, Lieut. Crre’efh's flight o ve planes was attack- P i ed by eight Fokker biplanes. In this ! encounter Lieut. Creech also shot down two enemy planes. On September 28, south of Masnieres, Lieut. Creech, with his flight, attacked an_enemy observation balloon and com- pelled the observers to jump. Enemy troops were then attacked in close for- mation, cousing many casualties and scattering all of the troops. In all of these encounters Lieut Creech displayed high courage, great valor and utter disregard of danger. He constantly went to the assistance of members of his flight and exposed him- self with great fearicssmess, and yet i withal displayed keen judgment and tireless energy. He proved himsell a | leader of unusual ability and was a | constant inspiration to all the members | of his command, . ‘The present address of unknown. t.

TOKIO, February 26 The Ameri- can, British, French and Italian Am- bassadors to Japan visited the foreign office today and communicated to Foreign Minister Yoshizawa the desire | of their governments that Japan do its | utmost to keep the military operations at Shanghai outside the borders of the | International Settlement The Ambassadors called separately and each presented a memorandum The memoranda were not identical, but were of similar tenor. It was under- stood they expressed appreciation for the Japanese command's efforts to keep | the fighting area outside the Settle- ment and hoped it would continue to do so. Caution in Disembarking. ‘They also requested that any further Japanese troops arriving at Shanghai | be disembarked outside the Settlement. | The Japanese were asked to move the warships lying in the Whan | off the International Settlement to po- | sitions where they would not attract | Chinese shells which might fall inside the Settlement. The memoranda were | confined to local problems of the Shanghai_situation. avoiding mention of the larger issues involved and were | not considered as protects. It was understood the American Ambassador acted on instructions from Washing- ton as a result of consultations by the | four governments. | "An extraordinary appropriation of | 22,000,000 yen ($7.040,000 at the pres- | ent rate) was approved by the Japan- ese Cabinet today to meet additional military expenses in connection with the expedition to Snangnal | The Army received 20,000,000 yen and the navy 2,000,000 yen - This was the secona special appro- priation made for the Snanghai expedi- tion.

The appropriation authorized required the consent of the | Council, but this was believed | been assured Besides these appropriations for the Shanghai expedition, an appropriation of 42,000,000 ven was voted for the Manchurian campaign some time ago, which, in addition to the appropriations this month, brings the total to ap- proximately $31,500,000 at the current | exchange Tate. or $49,000,000 at par. Further appropriations are expected to ibe submitted Lf‘ a special session of the Diet in April in the form of a supple- mentary budget. The cost of maintain- ing the Manchurian and Shanghal expeditions indefinitely was estimated at 10,000,000 yen (about $3,200,000) a month. Financial Troubles Feared. The Bank of Japan and the Govern- ment Deposits Bureau were expected to take up the necessary bond issues, but in many quarters a considerable dislo- cation of the country's financial condi- tion was predicted. Secretary of State Stimson displayed “ignorance of the history of the Wash- ington conference” in his open letter to Senator Borah, in which he asserted thay the whole fabric of international understanding in the Far East was threatened by the Sino-Japanese hos- tilities, a high foreign office official de- clared.

By the Ascociated Press Despite the thunder of “big Navy advocates,” the world's three leading sea powers are below the treaty strength agreed on at the 1930 London Naval Conference. Brittannia, as of old, “rules the waves,” with the fleets of the United States and Japan placing second and third, respectively. A move toward a possible building up of the American fleet to the maxi- mum allowed by the London treaty has been made by the Senate Naval Com- mittee its unanimous approval of the bill sponsored by Chairman Hale, calling for that very thing The . binding until December 31, 1936, allows Great Britain warships | 1= totaling 123,600, 1,151,450 tons, America, and Japan, 717,120. Japan Has Most Ships. King George's navy now is rated at 1,076,890 tons, in figures compiled by the Senate Naval Committee The United States registers 816,720, and the Japanese, 672,783 -tons. Strangely enough, although Japan has the smallest naval tonnage of the three powers, she has the most ships and Britain the least. This is because Japan has more destroyers and sub- marines than any of the three navies, and more light cruisers than the United States Britain is the weakest of the three nations in destroyers and submarines. All three countries have a considerable number of warships that have passed the “age limit" of effective service and so are not included in the tonnage totals. America has 227.630 tons in this class, Britain, 162.225, and Japan, 43,~ 640. Most. of them are destroyers. The age limits for naval vessels are Battleships and aircraft carriers, 20 years; cruisers, 20 to 16 years; destroy ers, 16 to 12; submarines, 13. American Figures Given. The United States has 15 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, 8 heavy cruisers (armed with 8-inch guns), 10 light cruisers (arma=d with 6-inch guns or smaller), 71 destroyers, 65 sutmarines. Great Britain has 18 battleshiy aircraft carriers, 19 heavy cruisers, 3 light cruisers, 26 destroyers, 48 sub- marines. Japan's strength is 10 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, 8 heavy crusers, 17, light cruisers, 77 destroyers, 67 sub- marines. Under construction, or appropriated for, the United States has one aircraft carrier, 3 heavy cruisers, 11 destroyers, 3 submarines, aggregating 104,100 tons. Britain has in this class 7 light cruisers, 30 destroyers, 9§ sumbarines, a total of 95,800 tons. Japan is building or plans to bufld one aircraft carrier, 4 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, 20 destroyers, 13 sub- marines—a total of 130,305 tons With these tomnages completed, Am- erica still would be below the treaty limit Britain and Japan would be over the limit if the cips now planned were added to the present effective chips, but some retired to make way for the new ships as they are launched.

Qdorlers |to protection by American authorities the Washington conference before the pcwers began a real consideration of the Chinese problem. Japan, this spokesman declared, had agreed to the neval terms and had left many prob- lems of the utmost importance to her for settlement in the later stages of the conference. ‘The spokesman said the ‘Tokio government had accepted a 60 per cent battleship ratio early in the conference, thereby leaving the Japanese delega- | tion open to a charge or having laid | down all trump cards early in the game. Had Japan wished to bargain with | naval “terms against matters embodi-d | in the nine-power treaty, he added, she | certainly would have delayed agree- ment indefinitely. The newspaper Asahi said in an edi- torial today that “not by doubting Japan's motive, but by co-operating with her, will America enable China to stand on her own feet.” The editorial criticized Secretary Stimson's reference Will Rogers Says: ANERICANS, STATUS IN WAR STUDIED 1\U.

Under Reserve Corps regulations of the Army, the entry of a Reserve of- | ficer inlo the military service of a | foreign country is grounds for “im- mediat> discharge.” Army regulations also provide that a Reserve officer leav- ing for a foreign country for any pur- pose must report his intention to the adjutant general.

The newspaper expressed anxiety, however, lest President Hoover be led by public opinion and the near- ness of a presidential election to dally with the proposal. War Officials Active. Japanese military authorities worked yesterday at top speed—and under the | protection of censorship—to earry out the cabinet decision to double the army forces at Shanghal. ‘There was su- preme confidence that the army would | be sufficiently strong to strike a deci- sive blow before the Chinese were able to reinforce their line. Lieut. Gen. Sadao Araki, minister of war of Japan, issued a vigorous denial of current gossip that the army, and especially the general staff, has been | attempting to exrcise a military dic- | tatorship over the nation. “Such rumors emanate from quar- ters ignorant of the essential qualities of the Japanese people and especially | of the Japanese army,” he said. | “Military officers are devoted vassals | of the Emperor and they never act| without his majesty’s orders. We are | confident that when the empire con- | fronts a life or death crisis our people, | and especially our army, will display a | degree of self-control, discipline and solidarity that will astonish the world.” In the course of an exclusive inter- view, the war minister asserted that | for Japan to lend friendly assistance | in the establishment of the new Man-| churian state was “merely the act of a good neighbor.” ; Wh&t’s It Woflh to YOU —to have coal that lasts longer in your heater . . . that saves you money because it holds heat for more hours at a time?
