' The Japanese reported they had plunged further into Shansi pro vince, bombed its capital, broken Chinese armies south of Peiping, threatened to smash China's cen tral Hopeh defense lines. On the Shanghai front the Chi nese asserted they had recaptured Lotlen. Cholera became a graver peril to Shanghai's millions. . Japanese warships and planes continued to hairy the sooth China coasts, but the Chinese claimed ; without independent confirmationtheir airforce had struck back with punishing effect, sinking one enemy cruiser and damaging other vessels. Japanese planes bombed Canton's airport According to Japanese, General - Count Julchi Terauchi's command extended' its advance south, and southwest of Peiping, where the capture of Kuanhsien Wednesday split the Chinese lines. Calvalry, :i tanks ' and infantry from Kuanhsien, 30 miles south of Peiping', was approaching Cho . chow" on the Peiping-Hankow railway, 40 miles below Peiping Capture of Chochow would make the railway useless to the Chinese north of Paotingf u, their main base 80 miles southwest of Peip ing and apparently the main ob jective of this Japanese drive. -Sixty thuosand Japanese were engaged in this operation against eight Chinese divisions, about 100,000 men. Commanding the re treating - Chinese was General Wan Fu-Lin. . Japanese army spokesmen said still larger battles were in pros pect, with domination of all Ho pen province at stake. Military observers believed the Japanese., unless checked, would extend their advance west of the Peiping-Hankow railway toward the borders of Shansi, into which. another, fast driving Japanese column has penetrated from the -north. That column, largely com posed of veterans from Japan's Manchurian garrison, reported its captor of Huaijen, 20 miles southwest of Tatung, chief rail way center of north Shansi. .J".

Patrick of the Oregon Workers' Alliance today charged relief agencies are responsible for children staying home from school because they have ho shoes. The charges, made before the city council, will be relayed to state' and county agencies which are in charge of relief funds, the council said. Patrick alleged relief agencies refused to act when shown the need of shoes for school children.

GENEVA, Sept. 16-JP)-Chi- na's appeal to the League of Nations to halt Japan's inva sions today was turned over to the league's resurrected far eastern advisory committee, of which the United States waa only a consultative memoer. It was decided to send invita tions soon to Washington and capitals of 22 other nations which held places on the original committee to reconvene to con- slder the latest oriental crisis, Hence the question of the Ameri- can attitude toward further . col- laboration with the league on far eastern affairs became a vital matter in Geneva.

' Sacredness Is Borah's Theme Theory Security Cannot Coincide With Liberty Assailed by Senator - (Continued from page 1) some great effort those in control of the political forces of the na tion have looked down upon the Bill of Rights as an obstacle to their aims, the court has proved ot be as James Madison expressed the hope and belief it would prove 'an impenetrable bulwark against every assumption of power in the legislative or the executive, and has furthermore resisted 'every encroachment upon the rights' which the people had stipulated in the constitution should never be disregarded or surrendered." In behalf of the theory that "personal liberty has become in compatible with economic securi ty," it is argued, he said, that: "The things to be done are so big, so vast, that they must be done by the government and the citizens must yield up all discre tion, all judgment, together with most of his ancient privileges and his personal liberty. If. that is true," Borah con tinued, "we began wrong 150 years ago. If that is true, Wash ington and Jefferson were wrong and Mussolini and Hitler are right. Thia theory would write 'lie' across the face of the declaration of independence and 'obsolete- across the federal constitution But the theory itself is false, and has been proven to be false by all human experience. Personal liberty, the discretion and Judg ment of the citizens, are not in compatible with, but are essential factors in economic security; In those countries where the people have been induced to give up their rights as free men and free women under the promise of economic security, they have lost both .... Rights of People Declared Sacred "Will those who contend that the constitution I not sacred go so far as to say that the right of the people to determine the form of government under which they live is not sacred, that liberty is not sacred, that to be free from arbitrary arrests ahd the torture chamber is not sacred, that the right to live your faith and wor- ship your God unmolested is not sacred? "If they will not go so far as to say these things are not sacred. then let us remember that upon tne exclusive power of the people to make their constitution and to keep it as they make it, or amend it, as they choose, all these sacred things depend. When the neonle lose control of their constitution. tney nave already lost control of their government! It is an old story that when the people lose power, they lose liberty. "I may have the wrong concep tion of the word sacred. But I feel that an instrument of government. purchased by vears of naHfJ and bloodshed upon the field, by wees and months of arduous ef fort in counsel, which has held together people of all climes, races, and faiths In ordered lib erty, which gives freedom to all who come within its Jurisdiction, which makes the people sovereign ana puonc officials their agents, is sacred by every rule which measures the worth of human progress or human freedom."

The spine-tingling "games," the inheritance of the western man, got under way beneath cloudless skies, with a shrill .whoop from a Cayuse Indian chief and a gracious nod from Queen Cathryn Collins.

Fish's veiled attack on other members of congress was made in a statement in which he said responsibility for Black's ap rointment "rests squarely with the president." He suggested that "if Klan affiliations are to be a test of public office, it might be well to find out the status of the speaker of the house (Rep Bankhead), who, like Black, hails from Alabama." Charles E. Cropley, clerk of the supreme court, disclosed that Black had taken a dual oath of office on August 19. thereby complying with, the , legal re quirements for membership of the court.

My kidneys were sluggish, causing such a misery all through my back and around my kidneys that I can hardly even describe it. The sharp pains were something aw ful. I was so stiff and sore in my back that I could hardly take step without flinching, and when I tried to stoop over, the pains would almost stifle me! My bowels were sluggish and I had to take strong physics and this sluggishness finally filled my system with poisons and made me feel sick all the time. "Finally I found Van-Tage and inis ureal aieaicine neiped me from the very first. It had a won derful action on my stomach or gans and helped to clear out leads of that gassy bloating and now my meals agree with me just fine. I can even eat acidy foods with out Buffering and my meals are nourishing my -system much bet ter. It also flushed my sluggish, kidney and brought me blessed relief from - those terrible abaro pain in my back, and now I feel fine in the mornings because the stiffness and soreness is relieved. My bowels . are more regular thanks to the fine laxative actten of Van-Tage. In short.
