SOVIETS MOB
p CHINA ENVOYS
Panic Reigns at Embassy;
Orientals File Reply
• To Russian Note
• MOSCOW, July 17.—(J*)—The
demonstrations continue against the
Chinese government, despite an
nouncement of what was considered
a conciliatory communique from the
Nanking government.
Russians and Chinese expatriates
stormed the Chinese embassy on the
riapotkin Pereulok, throwing eggs,
sticks and stones, and smashing
whr;cow panes. War helmeted,
h»avily armed regiments of “cay
P»Vour” (secret police) cavalry, and
infantry were hard put to preserve
order.
Inside the embassy the demon
stration, which increased in inten
sity as night went on. caused a
panic among the staff of 20 or more
who huddled together in one of the
rooms in suspense. They were pale
and haggard.
Sia Wen Sun, Chinese diplomatic
representative, told the correspond
ent he had not left the embassy for
two days and had not slept for two
nights, cabling message after mes
sage with the hope of some word
which would relieve their suspense.
The Tass agency, official Russian
news source, issued the following:
“Friends of peace breathed freer
when the Chinese diplomatic rep
resentative here submitted to the
foreign office a conciliatory’ com
munique from Nanking, saying:
“ ‘Although the entire cable con
taining the soviet protest demand
ing a reply by a given date has not
been received, its main idea is al
ready understood. Our government
ordinarily maintains peaceful rela
tions with the soviet union and al
though the Harbin incidents neces
sitated taking measures regarding
the Chinese eastern railway, these
cannot affect existing relations be
tween the two countries.
“ ‘Ambasador Chu Zao Yang soon
will return to his post but if the
soviet government has the same
opinion of the subject it may be de
liberated by both sides. In our
opinion all problems must be solved
on the basis of existing agreements
and thrashed out at the conference.
Under such conditions the questions
will be solved easily.”'
The communique ended declaring
the Nanking government would re
ply to the Russian note immediately
after the full text was received.
Tass simultaneously published a
statement that the soviet govern
ment did not intend to reply to the
Chinese communique but would
await the actual reply to its note
(the ultimatum) of July 13.
NANKING. China, July 17.—(^Pi
China’s nationalist government has
replied to Soviet Russia's ultimatum
growing out of Manchurian seizure
of the Chinese Eastern railway, the
Nanking government’s answer being
dispatched pust within the three
dav time limit named by Moscow
The Nanking note, after seeking to
Justify events in Manchuria, con
tained three points of salient im
portance: _
1— That Nanking “very soon will
send Chu Zao Yang, former ambas
sador at Moscow’, w’ho is now in
Nanking, to Moscow to discuss mat
tdtf pending bctw’een the two gov
eXments.
2— A demand—which was em
phasized as not a counter demand—
that the soviet release all Chinese
imprisoned in Russia.
3— A similar demand that the
Moscow government protect ade
quately Chinese nationals in Rus
sia from aggression and repression.
Almost coincidentally with dis
patch of the government’s replv to
Moscow it was revealed that 15.000
Manchurian troops had been mo
bilized within the past 43 hours for
strategic positions on the border
principally at Manchuli. terminus
of the Chinese Eastern railway.
In justifying seizure of the Chi
nese Eastern and expulsion o! its
Russian officers and employes the
note declared thev and Russia had
not abided by the agreement, of
1924 fixing the relationship of the
two countries with regard to the
railroad and the actions taken were
necessary to preserve order in Man
churia.
The charge was made that Soviet
Russian agents in Manchuria, had
spread communist propaganda so as
to endanger the Chinese govern
ment and its social system.
The Nanking r.ote was a renly to
the Soviet note handed the charge
at Moscow, Saturday at midnignt.
the last >f which was received in
Narking by President Chiang Kai
Shek yesterday morning. Moscow
demanded release of arrested Rus
sians. cancellation of illegal orders
presumed to mean those taking
ervr the Chinese Eastern—and sub
mission of questions affecting the
two countries to negotiations.

TURKEY GOBBLER
* * *
SETS ON GUINEA
* * *
FOWL EGG NEST
-
At last the proud, strutting gob
bler has been reduced to the hu
man equivalent of dish washing.
The chesty male has forsaken the
strenuous duties of bug-hunting
and children-chasing to set meek
1 ly over a nest of eggs—eggs that
! aren't even of his own kind.
A. Ross Hoyt of the South Mc
Coll road between McAllen and
Pharr, states that he has two
Mammoth Bronze gobblers that
have his barnyard “kutawing”
with surprise. They recently
found nests of duck and guinea
hen eggs in the yard and forth
with climbed into the nests and
began setting.
Hoyt, a poultry expert, says this
is the-first time in his experience
that such a thing has ever hap
pened.
The McAllen man has a large
collection of poultry which in
cludes wild and semi-wild species.
He keeps them in the poultry
tight 20-acre orchard. It was in
this lot that the gobblers found
the duck and guinea eggs.
Hoyt says he will let the gob
blers go ahead and find out how
they like the duties of mothering
web-footed, water-loving birds.
>He declares the gobbler nesting
on the duck eggs is due for a big
surprise when the little ones are
led in the vicinity of the lake.

come to hysteria over the affair.
Questioners have found him apa
thetic in regard to the four-room
shack which served as his boyhood
home.
The hogs and chickens and crops,
which he admitted he ‘Tcinda liked
to work on.” were disposed of with
“I guess Uncle Aley will look after
them.” But the dingy and squalidly
furnished bedrooms of his home
arouse no sentiment. Asked if he
wanted to return there his answer
was an emphatic “No!”
Otis, it was learned, wants to be
come a great lawyer. A well
thumbed copy of “How to Speak in
Public” was found in the backwoods
home, and Otis admitted it was his
treasured possession.
The boy said school did not in
terest him. The teachers tried to
teach him all manner of things, but
he did not learn how to make
speeches there, and although fond of
his teacher, school seemed just an
other chore.
Otis says he has found jail life
‘‘not so bad.” His case has aroused
the sympathy of women in many
parts of the country and Otis has
keenly enjoyed the unwonted atten
tions that have come his way in the
form of books, trinkets and gifts of
every description.
But he does miss “kitty.”
“Feed my kitty, will you?” he
begged a newspaperman who visited
the boy in jail.

Mexico To Abolish
Border Patrol, Says
Immigration Chief
The Mexican immigration border
patrol will be abolished and the
method of preventing foreigners
from illegally entering that coun
try will be changed, Pedro Nunez,
chief of the administrative branch
of the immigration service an
nounced on hi: arrival Wednesday
in Matamoros from Nuevo Laredo,
The men now employed along the
border will be set to watching trains
and aliens will be detected in that
manner, Nunez declared.
Members of the patrol stationed
on roads leading out of Matamoros
and all other border cities will be
maintained in their present posi
tions, Nunez said, to patrol the bor
der against smugglers and persons
who enter the country Illegally. Ihe
number of men thus employed may
even be increased.
Nunez also said the key immigra
tion office at Monterrey, which has
been closed for some time would
be reopened for the purpose rf
checking on persons entering and
leaving Mexico by rail.
Nunez is completing a tour of all
border ports of entry where he is
checking administration of the va
rious offices. He will remain in
Matamoros until the end of the
month. This official has nothing
to do with the new immigration
regulations, other than to see that
they are obeyed, he declared.

IFRICTIONLESS ball or roller bearings are
used at every point in the new Ford where
they will contribute to smooth operation and
long life.
Spiral roller bearings, for instance, are used
in the rear hub and on the drive shaft at the
universal joint. Taper roller bearings are used
in the front wheels. Steering is easier because
of the roller thrust bearings used on the
spindle bolts.
A ball thrust bearing is used for disengag*
ing the clutch and the front end of the clutch
shaft is carried in a radial ball bearing in the
flywheel. Another reason for the ease of shift
ing gears in the new Ford is the use of ball
and roller bearings in the transmission.
Throughout the new Ford you find this
same quality and careful attention to every
detail that contributes to good performance.
In the words of the experienced mechanic,
"the new Ford is a sweet mechanical job.”
