fighting man In other countries, taut
today Bert Hall number 10,001 In
prinon In Just a business man anxi
ous to get bock to his business Of
battleplanes and: bombs.
"General" Hall, world famous sol
dier or fortune, In his firm interview
Blnco hd was sentenced In- China to
BerW'a1 ' yours" In" the federal peni
tentiary, said' he's heVo because thtire
ittn'b chough honesty In the fighting
biminesri.
Kxpiatntf lllV Arre
Fighting men nnd; diplomats of
mahy countries were startled to learn
thnt "General Chan" Hall was Im
prisoned on a'charge of cnnaglrtg In
lllptrnl Importation of arms Into
China. Nobody knew exactly why.
Today Hall told why he's here, what
he's going to do when released and
described the family and books to
which he's anxious to give his atten
tion. "It's nil In the game," he said. "I
can take It on the chin and still
tmlle. The circumstances surround
ing my Incarceration were' that I had
a contract with the North China
clique qf generals, and they t
pay up.' They needed arms and am
munition and came to mo to pur
chase them for them. I wos trUHtod
by the Chinese' general with, a sum
of money to purchase arms and re
tained this money for my own per
sonal uho.
UN Col left Ion Plan Worked
, "My claim f6t $34,000, due ino on
n, contract with the governor of
Hopel province, had been placed hi
the hands ot the American consul
general al Tientsin. He finally in
formed me that he could render mo
no assistance. Consequently I ap
plied my own methods of collect
ing. . . .
"If the American authorities feel
that Is a crime under the circum
stances, all right. But now that I
am here I regret very much that 1
was not able to collect the entire
sum due me", as Chinese generals
obtain their money from the poor
people- by force. I do not feel as
though taking money owed to you
tf a crime, even though you use
trickery to obtain It. There i still
(V balance of 824,000, which I may he
able to collect in the future. . . .
"Fighting is a tnialnoss, you know,
and should carry the obligation of
paying honest debts, llko any other
business. Whenever I can make
moro money &t some other business,
I'll quit the one I have known best
so far."
He should know one of the char
ier aienibefB of the Lafayette Es
citdrllle, a daring aviator In the
Chinese warn, with a record of hav
ing fought or " organized armies In
France, Greece. Turkey, Bulgaria,
Russia, China and Manchuria. His
Hcore Includes nine German planes
downed during the world war and
glittering decorations of Prance, Eng
land, Russia and the Balkan coun
tries. "My work In China recently." said
the sturdy, blue-clad Hall, sitting In
the warden's office, "was part flying
and part organization work. And
so here t am, with a good war start
ed' In China right now. It's not so
bud, though. Warden Finch R. Ar
cher Is a fine num. I have been
doing- clerical work In the captain's
office, and there Is plenty of time to
tinker with engines J like that."
!ln Wire and Family
He stared out across the blue
waters that surrounded McNeil 1h
KUifl to where the gray prison boat
chugged at the dock.
"1 have a wile and three fine sons
at i military academy In Los An
geles. I would much rather be with
them "
"General Chan" reached Into a
pocket and found a annpshot.
"I sent them each a real gun", he
hm lied, "and told them whatever
they did not to point them at each
other. Look at what they sent me!"
The photo showed three handsome
youngsters in w) id-went costume,
pointing the self -same revolvers at
each other.
Too Much Exaggeration
"A fighting man. nn organlrer.
learns n lot about what Is civilized
rtnd what isn't. There tn a lot of
tearing down and building up to lie
done In this world before It will bo
come civillnrd."
Uall doesn't care for reports that
n soldier of fortune Is necessarily n
wlld-eyod adventurer.
"There's too much exaggeration
about my business," he said.
"So when I finish here I'll look
out for my family, attend to the
books and go back to work."

GREAT BRITAIN'S
FLEET IS RANKED
WORLD'S GREATEST
WASHINGTON (A't The move In
congress to build tho navy up to Lon
don treaty strength lias focused aU
tentlon again on the relative stand
ing of "tho big three" in sea power
Great Britain, tho United States
and Japan.
Which country has tho strongest
navy? Naval experts say that whllo
no definite and dependable yardstick
has been devised for measuring alU
around naval power. Great Britain,
on paper, still Is the presumable
"mistress of the) seas."
On the basis of total tonnage and
battle ship preponderance, the United
States ranks second with the 'tonnage
gap between thin country and Brit
ain much larger than that between
Japan and U. S. In modern up-to-date
ships of lighter type, however,
the Japanese navy has far outdist
anced the fleets of Uncle Sam and
also has a substantial numerical and
tonnage margin over -the flotillas of
John Bull.
It Is to end the disparity now ex
isting bctwven the United States and
Japan In lighter vessels that the Vin
son bill, calling for a five-year build
ing program of more than a hundred
ships. Is designed. These ships, which
probably would cost about 9400.000,
000, would taring the navy up to
treaty strength lata In 1039.

New Chevrolet
On Display At
Larison - Frees
Proclaimed by Its creators as "Am
erica's Thill Car for 1934" the new
Chevrolet, with magical "Knee- Ac
tion" wheels, a Blue Streak engine
of 80 horsepower providing a "glide
lntid of a ride" at. 8( miles an
hour. Is on display today at the Lari
son -Frees Chevrolet Co.
Sleek, superbly-styled, with a 112
inch wheelbose and "the ultimate in
size for a low-priced, economical car,"
the new Chevrolet lis sponsois de
clare will once again lead the entire
field in sales at it has done for the
last three years.
Of the car and its features, Nor
man Frees says, "The new Chevrolet
provides a gild Instead of a ride be
cause the sensations of sound ahd
feeling, that annoy the motorist, have
been eliminated. The secret of this
glide Is1 knee action wheels. "By in
dependent frmit. wheel suspension
tho knee action unit is meant the
attachment of the front wheels di
rectly to the1 frame without the use.
of a front axle.
"Independent springing, relieves the
front springs and permits the use of
A front spring which has a soft, vel
vety action Just as soft; In fact, a-3
the rear springs. Thus the new Chev
rolet has front and rear springs of
equal tension, and there is no ten
dency for the car to bounce and jolt
along the road, nor are the rear seat
passengers harshly catapulated into
the air whenever the front wheelo hit
a rut or raised object. Because of
the knee action unit, wheel fight has
disappeared from the new Chevrolet.
"The 1934 Chevrolet frame Is of an
entirely new design known as the
'YK' type and Is 20 times stiffer tor
sional ly than the conventional type
used in previous models." he said.
"The new Cable-Control brakes
bring the 1934 Chevrolet to a velvety
atop on a dime. The starterator
which -was an exclusive Chevrolet fea
ture in 1933 has been retained on
tho new models."

WORRIES ABOUT
PRESENT CHANGE
TOPEKA, Kas.. Jan 31 07) Declar
ing ho is opposed to "revolutionary
change without popular mandate, and
to government by men without any
practical limitations by law," Ogden
L. Mills, secretary of the treasury un
der President Hoover, in a speech
here urged his fellow Republicans to
be on guard against unwise and un
desirable public policies.
Ho spoke of perils of a govern
mental dictatorship and declared the
Democratic administration has at
tempted to extend tne powers of the
federal govornmrnt.
"The abdication by the congress
and the delegation of powers to .the
executive," Mills asserted, "are In
effect creating a government of men
without any practical limitation by
law."
"It Is tho duty of the minority,"
he continued, "to Insist that import
ant measures shall not be adopted
until they 'have been subjected to the
tests of critical analysis and open
discussion, unhampered- by intimida
tion of any kind, to -the end' that
publlo opinion may be informed;' and
the people" themselves afforded the
opportunity to reach a- aound Judg
ment." "Not only have we witnessed what
I believe is an unconstitutional at
tempt to extend' the powers-of- the
federal government beyond the limits
contemplated by basic law," Former
Secretary Mills declared; "but the
exercise of the enormously -expanded
authority hus ; been vested in the
hands of a single Individual, so that
the citizen Is deprived not only of
the protection of the fundamental
law, but is. subjected to arbitrary
executive action freed from the re
strictions of legislative control."
