Chinese Fear Action Aimed
At Wiping Chinese
From Region
NANKING, Dec. 21. 4 A new
note to the League of Nations and
another statement, interpreted here as
a direct appeal to the United States
under the nine-power treaty and the
Kellogg-Briand pact, were issued by
Dr. Wellington Koo. Chinese foreign
minister, today as reports of a new
Japanese drive came from Manchuria.
t Officials, professing great perturba
tion over thn reports, from which it
appeared Chinchow might be the ob
jective of the Japanese thrust, ex
pressed the belief that "most danger
ous complications" are likely "unless
the Jnpanese refrain from further ac
tion." Dr. Koo's new note to the league
called attention to "the new serious
situation" and said the Chinese mili
tary forces about Chinchow would
"be compelled, in self-defense, to re
sist if the Japanese attack the town."
In the subsequent statement from
the foreign office Dr. Koo declared
Manchuria is an integral part, of
China and China has every right to
control it. If this important part of
Chinese terirtory is allowed "to be
made a prise of Japanese aggres
sion" he said, and thpreby become a
cradle of future war. "it will not only
endanger peace in the far east but
will shake the faith of mankind in the
brighter outlook upon the world since
the great war.
Dr. Koo further recalled the pnrt
various American statesmen have
played in upholding the integrity of
China from "predatory powers."
The Japanese invasion, he said,
violates article one of the nine-power
treaty and also the Kctlocg-Briand
pact and the covenant of the League
of Nations.
Observers here expressed the opin
ion that the renewed Japanese mili
tary activities hnve led the Chinese
government to believe that the Japan
ese have begun the final phase of a
movement which is destined to oblit
erate the last semblance of Chinese
sovereignty in Manchuria and to place
in its stead a permanent Japanese ad
ministration. Use The Hose,
Spare The Cow
I'se a piece of garden hose when
dislodging an apple, a potato or what

Such is the contribution of Wil
liam Williams of Dexter to the sym

the why nnd how of his method as
told in a letter to the editor of the

"Will you pleane allow me a little

tato in a cow's throat? The apple or

"Mv method Is to take a piece of

ARGUMENTS N
WHEELER SUIT
Constitutionality of High
School Fund Law
Attacked
LARGE LOSS IS CITED
'Big Four'1 Declares Money
Insufficient For
Teaching Cost
Arguments in the suit of the Big
Four of Lane county school districts
attacking the constitutionality of the
county high school fund law, com
monly known as the Wheeler law,
were commenced in circuit court here
Monday forenoon before Judge H, D.
Norton of Medford,
operations of the law cause a loss
of ?10,50O for the current school yenr
for the Eugene, Springfield, Cottage
Grove and Junction City high school
districts because of the large number
of students coming to these schools
from non-high school districts, the
pmintnts contend.
Violation Charged
Ihe law, setting an arbitrary
amount to be paid the districts tor the
tuition of each student without regard
to the cost-of instinct ion, leaves the
district to levy taxes to make up the
deficit and thus violates the statu and
federal constitutional provisions of
depriving anyone of life or property
without due process of law, declared
Judge Lawrence T. Harris, attorney
ior me piDimius,
II. K. Slattery. special defense at
torney representing members of the
district boundary board and county
officials iinmed as defendants in the
suit, asked dismissal of the suit, the
defense demurring on the grounds
that the plaintiffs had not presented
proper grounds for the suit and that
they were not properly qualified to
untune i lie suit. Air. Mattery did not
argue tne last point.
The court allowed Judge Harris
five days in which to submit a brief of
his argument against the demurrer
and gave Mr. Slattery a similar length
of time in which to file his reply, thus
making it unlikely that a ruling nn
the matter be returned before rew
lcar s day.
Students Said Welcomed
In spite of their claims that caring
fr.r the students from the non-high
school districts was causing them to
lose money, the Big Four welcome
these students and even solicit their
enrollment, claimed Mr. Slattery. As
an instance, he cited the arrangement
by which Springfield nbsorbed the stu
dent body of the Walterville high
school this last fall, bringing the stu
dents into the city by menus of
school bus.
The school districts, declared Mr.
Mattery, are in effect state agencies
operated for the common good and
thus are not to be considered as Indi
viduals. The Wheeler law does not
