SECOND JAPANESE ARMY
SENT TO THE FRONTIER
SHANGHAI — Tlia capture of
Shanghai and important gains in
North China brought the Japanese
forces steadily nearer to her military
objectives in China but along with
the Japanese successes came increas
ed tension on the Manchukuo-Siber
itn border and neutral observers;
shared the almost unanimous belief
hr.t relations bewteen Russia andi
Japnn are nearing fracture.
Today one cf Japan’s most power-1
ful armies deployed along the Soviet
frontier and there was a rumble of
war machinery toward the border.
The strained diplomatic siiua
grew out of the recent strengthening
of the German-Japanese anti-com
n-unism pact with the entrance of
Italy, a signer this week. Coupled
with this international aspect is re
newed friction over fishing conces
sion off the Siberia coast which Ja
pan wants extended.
The diplomatic world pondered the
potentialities of the new Italian-Ger
man-Japancse anti-Bolshevism pact
aid the question was precipitated
whether Russia, regarding the * pact
as "‘not friendly” might also break
off relations- with Rome.
Observers admitted the world is as
c! s» to war as it was prirr to ‘be
G^sa-siration r>? Austrian Archduke'
Fv'-d'nand at Sarajevo, Serbia, in'

WINDSORS MAY COME
TO U. S. NEXT YEAR
PARIS—The Duke of Windsor is
contemplating a tour of Russia to j
balance the resent tour in Germany.
A person close to the Duke said the
purpose of the tour is to show the
rest of the world he plays no poli
tics. For the moment, however, his
plans are up in the air by the abrupt
postpon; ment of the American trip. 1
Members of the Duke of Windsor’s
suite disclosed that the Royal par*y
is studying the possibility of making
the postponed tour to the United
States early next year. It is declared
that the tour is not definitely cand
led and Edward is still hopeful that
public cp:nion in America will
change within a few months, *hns
opening the way for a trip which
was to have started today but post
poned on account of “grave miscon
ceptions of his motives.”
Several members of the Duka’s en
tourage said the Duke of Windsor
felt a “lukewarm attitude” toward
the proposed American tour a~d one
reason, one close adviser said, was
the 'Tack of enthusiasm on the part
of Wash'ngtcn officials, coupled with
American labor criticism.”
It is said here that when WasVo™ ■
ton officials wore asked to suggest
on itinerary whereby the Duke might

'ng methods and labor situations,
•n’y a perfunctory letter was receiv
ed.

School of Technology.
Their boat has a draught of five
; feet, is rather broad, and weighs
eight tons net, or 13t4 tons under
sail.
“Igdrasil,” the name of our boat
means ‘tree of life’ in Norse mythol

d .-wn to hell and its branches reach
up to heaven. That’s life on a small
boat.”
To clean glazed chintz articles, lay

terial requires pressing, do so with
