Dispatches to the newspaper from Vladivostok said Voroshlloff s "report to the Kremlin regarding the strength of the far eastern army was expected finally to determine the decision In Moscow." The same source said the Soviet Union hud extended the term of service for soldiers In Siberia snd wss rushing others Into the area as "railway employees." a dispatch to the newspaper amm from Moscow said the Soviets were fanning antl-Japanlsm by slo gans and resolutions. Japan's military forces are a mix ture of men from both the active and reserve lists. Military experts said "Japsn Is avoiding the German mistake In the World war of killing off the best troops first.'." Hence Japan Is using men of 35 to 40 along with the first liners who are 20 and 23 years old." they said. But Tokyo's forces along the Manchoukuo frontier were reported practically 100 percent from the active rolla. They had the best war equipment available. Reliable Soviet sources expressed belief that one of the principal reasons why Japan had not declared way on China was a possibility that the Chinese -Russian non -aggression pact contains a secret rider provld- Ing for Soviet military assistance.

Kelly, from the county court to the circuit court, was made yesterday by County Judge EflH a. Day. The motion sets forth that Judge Day, by reason of pro ceedings filed by Fehl against him Is disqualified to hear the case. Similar action Is expected to be takpn by Circuit Judge H. D. Norton, and the state supreme court asked to assign a new Judge for the case. Filing of the insanity charge against Fehl will probably mean postponement of the civil action of H. Von Schmalz of Bums and George A. Rhoten of Sot em, attorneys, aulng Corlnthia E. Stnlley for $3,332.33 for legal services rendered for Fehl. A motion filed by Fehl to disqualify Judge E. B. Ashurat of Klamath county, assigned to hear the case, Is also pending. County authorities said today steps were underway to speed the Insanity hearing. Fehl Is confined In a separate ward In -the county Jail and does not mingle with the other prisoner. Sheriff 8yd I. Brown sold. Notice Table Rock Council No. 18 R. and S. M.

During the day. about 50.000 Chi nese refugees entered the French con session and the International settle ment. Many of them stormed barbed wire barricades and barred gales while police struggled to handle distracted Chinese throngs. rhlnea Reek Safety. After the Chinese army retreated from Ha western sector and the Jap anese forces started taking over the territory, tens of thousands of Chi enese refugees were sandwiched be tween the two forces. They rushed to the borders of the International areas, begging admittance. Although Mayor O. K. Yul was vlr- tually without a city to govern, he said his office would function as usual from the French concession, and added that he had no thought of running away. His Jurisdiction extended only over a small area of the Nantao quarter. American and foreign military ob servers ssld the principal lesson of the . Shanghai war waa that poorly equipped but numerically superior forces had little chance against a smaller, well-mechanized and well- organized army. As in the Italian conquest of Ethi opia, the airplane played a decisive part In Shanghai operations. Jap anese also used numbers of tanks, armored cars, heavy guns and war ships. Flesh Against Steel. "It was largely a case of flesh against steel," said one American of ficer. "It was a miracle how China's nondescript army held out so long against the highly mechanized forces of Japan." Approximately 6,000 Chinese sol diers, cut off on all sides by advanc ing Japanese, took up positions In the Nantao area adjolnlnlg the French concession. Barricading themselves. 600 of the Isolated troops declared they would hold out to the death against invading Japanese. They converted rows of Chinese shacks facing the boundary of the French concession Into veritable fort resses and said only bombs or fire would force them out. If the de tachment were attacked from the went or south. Japanese would be forced to fire Into the French con cession. CONNER SELLS APPLES FOR GOOD PRICE ABROAD Ouy W.
