has the seeds of trouble as surely as did the Balkan situation
17 years ago. War between China and Japan might easily
involve Russia; other powers might become embroiled, in
cluding the United States. Only crippled public finances and
the still smarting injuries of the last war seem to hold back
the powers specially involved from making the now local

Japan is a member of the league- of nations, she is also
signatory of the Kellogg anti-war -pact. Yet her coarse in
Manchuria has shown little regard forlier obligations under
these engagements. Granted that she has- had provocation for
direct action due to the lack of orderly government from the

Erelyn was silent. Her face had

She was remote, aloof, very su

and her heart turned orer. Thla
pleasant, rather silly girl had
suddenly become her judge.

They made a very early atari
th next morning. Th new plane,
a replica ot the first, tuned up
and orrbsued was waiting. They
took oft lnt a cloudless sky, bul
the day, even Just after sunrise,
was very warm and oppressive.
Evelyn's attitude toward Fanchon
was. In' a sens, amusing. Even
Fanchon hod to admit that. Sh
spok to her as little as possibl
and then condescendingly.
In the early afternoon' Evelyn,
going past Fanchon Into th lav
atory. left her handbag with hr.
Fanchon sat with it on her lap
and looked out on the wide seen
about and below her. The sky
darkened. Ther were muttering
and sudden flashes of lightning.
"A thunder storm!" remarked
Mrs. Eames nervously.
"It's far away." said he bus.
band consolingly.
But she haa a right to be nerv
ous. Heavier than air craft ia
hard put to it to exist in a thun
der storm. The sir currents de
veloping before and. during a
storm are markedly dangerous. A
aquall wind was rising and aoon
the heavy rain would fall.
There were two courses open
to this pilot or any pilot. He
might 'run tor It and make a
forced landing; or he might try
to fly above and around It. The
former course did not appear
feasible because ot the nature of
the land over which they were
passing. He decided therefor on
th ' latter. But hla mechanic
cried opt suddenly and pointed to
the" gas gauge. Ther waa a leak
somewhere.
Nothing to It but the forced
landing. The passengers were in
formed, asked to stand by. They
lost altitude -rapidly. Evelyn for
