. FRANCE, JAPAN AT ODDS OVER ISLES iv • _______ . Cnftirely Uninhabited and" of No Real Value. Paris.--"Button button,, who'4 got the Islands?" "~T Sli little coral' dots Tn the South China sea are causing much ado^io diplomatic circles and the Question Is: are J hey French or are they Japanese? About midway beiween the Island of ilorneo and French Indol'hina this little group of islands stick their noses up out of the sea. According to both sides, they are entirely uninhabited and have been for more than ten years. • Japan's claims lie in the fact that one of their nationals had established phosphate works on the Islands sev- ' eral years ago and had spent riiore fhan a million yen in the construction of warehouses and claim that 120 men died there due to tfie "impossible clinlate," hut they still want the place. Frame's answer to the Japs is simple: v V \ • ; "if: ;tBe Japanese wauled ; the Is- •; lands, ?fhy didn't they stay thert? ".•*'*;vThese insignificant little coral fornja- ^ / tfons. have been a serious menace to v 5traffic for years, French commercial '* lines to Indo-t'hina are: endangered by *. :• . •; then?; There Should and -niust be lightf" \" houses erected th(ftre4 .Wj are going to build them. .•v.'" ; ."We see no reason why we should not take over these islands, which are admittedly uninhabited and of little or no value, and take tfie necessary measures to protect our shipping In- • terests." ; ^ Recently Charge d'Affaires Sawada, of the Japanese embassy, called at the French foreign office and, according to *" Sawada himself, protested French sovereignty over the group, stating thai Japan was about to proclaim them as Nipponese possessions. The foreign office presented an en tirely different version of the Sawada visit, claiming that Sawada merely dropped in to inquire T*S to whether ( Japanese commercial interests would be carefully safeguarded by the 1 French. The Quai d'Orsay spokesman stated that Mr. Sawada was assured that France would make it its duty to see that Japanese property on the islands would be respected and that Mr. Sawtda left, e\ idently quite satis : - ' tied. * ' In the mea'tiTitiie',"'WHT the" is1- lands? .

The majority of contested offices were strictly local and have relatively little bearing on current national problem?. The few instances of electing men to fill existing vacancies in Congress have no significance In the national picture. The real test of sentiment contss next yeap- -when the ten tire House of Representatives and onethird of the Senate must go before the hustings for judgment. ^ VThese are troublesome days for the government recovery agencies^ The NRA has encountered marked demand for changes in policy while the Agricultural Adjustment Corporation is in a quandry with the folks they seek to help--the farmers. It is doubtful whether the visit of governors from seven Mid-West ' States will inspite any radical changes-; The Federal officials know that theje was considerable amount of politics involved ip the' gubernatorial meeting here. 'Before accepting the proposals of the dis^ tinguished visitors, hook line and sinker, the Roosevelt advisers are looking for jokers in the deal. The fact that some day the taxpayers will demand an explanation for the hundreds of millions poured into farjn >*elief projects during these last six months makes the responsible authorities hesitant. If the relief plan succeeds the state executives will grab all the credit while failui'e will be laid at the foot of national officials. The much publicized Swope plan for re-organization of NRA reveals a struggle between two factions in business. Gerard Swope's idea would expand the National Chamber of Commerce as a governing body for industry ^which is opposed by the National association of manufacturers, a rival group. About the only point of agree ment is that organized labor ^should not be permitted to have equal representation on code administration groups. The leaders know that they must deal with the uniors under the collective bargaining section of the Recovery law. Yet the future < f NRA is like a seesaw game of children. Members of important Congressional districts are returning to town prepared to resume their duties. The bucfget officers of the various government departments have been at wcrk for months preparing their- estimates for the next fiscal year, which beings July 1, 1934. The House Committee on Appropriations has assigned ^subcommittees to consider the proposals cf Federal agencies as t<i the amounts of money they will need to, operate the next fiscal year. The sub-committee of the Senate Committee on Agriculture will devote two weeks to public hearings on the food and drug bill, which the Agriculture Department drafted last winter. The manufacturers and distributors of foods, drugs, and cosmetics, as well as advertising groups, do not propose to remain quiet while Dr. Rexford Tut*- well attempts to jam this bill down their throats. It is stated that the objectives of the bill may be laudible. There is a serious threat of including the bureaucratic powers of the drug administration in the Department of Agriculture. The special Senate Committee investigating crime and racketeering will probably hold a few | meetings here in December to prepare j recommendations for legislation. The disclosures of graft and lawlessness stressed at public hearings held in various cities* have astounded the Senators and the country. The other Congressional committees will meet at the regular session in January. The Treasury Department and jj»e Department of Justice are at work on programs which will be necessary to handle the liquor problem. The Treasury Department is interested in the tax feature while the Department of Justice is concerned with law enforcement. The great stumbling block is to work interpretations permitting the advertising and sale of liquors in so-called dry states. The drastic Reed amendment, which was passed in the early days of prohibition will undoubtedly be amended or repealed during the early days of the next [ session. The proposal of the Civil Service Commission to bar applicants for gov- , ernment jobs over 40 years of agohas stinted a. nation-wide controversy. It is not only the effect on government personnel but the indirect influence such a policy would have on private enterprise. Organized Federal employes are waging a war on the plan. There is already a pronounced movement in industry Which lowers the retirement age. The possibility of this plan spreading to local and state governments is something that will sound alarm to employes or those seeking employment. It seems likely that Congress will be forced to take a hand in the muddle. When you con sider that there are 150,000 persons on eligible lists for government posts, the age limitation item is of <rital importance to the politicians.

The girl, almost stujttering with '"excitement, exclaimed. "He's coming out--look!" * The huge tentacles of a giant octopus came ,out of an undersea casern some distance from where the bell was suspended. As it sensed the location of the bell, it proceeded toward It while camera grourid out .footage and the two human beings watched excitedly. Reaching the bell, the odtopus wrapped Its huge tentacles about it. The bell bobbed like a cork in the writhing embrace of the monster, which lashed the water with its tentacles. Jackson became terrorstricken; He left his camera and rushed to the telephone, while Diane, |completely fearless, took his place and. ground the machine. "Pull us un--get us out of here!" Jackson exclaimed into the phone. haul out the suit, and they started getting him Into it. Just before submerging McCreary lighted an un<Jer^ea torch. The 09- topus released its hold on the diving belNae it saw McCreary descending. Using his torch as a weapon, the diver fought the octopus. At one stage of the fight, a tentacle gripped the diver's arm which held the torch and for an Instant it appeared that all was up, but McCreary managed to level the torch at a vital spot of the body of the octopus. In the bell, growing faint and dizzy from lack of air. Diane and Jackson watched the struggle between man and octopus--a fight to the death. In the distance a school of sharks were approaching to fea^t on the conquered. At length man and his science won. McCreary quickly connected the emergency chain as the sharks darted for the dead octopus. Both man and bell were quickly hoisted - to the surface. ^ Diane and Jackson were quickly transferred to tho decompression . tank, but McCreary waved all aid aside. He refused to remove his suit. The moment his helmet cameoff, he grabbed the binoculars and ; watched the tender. Schlemmer was pulling up the chest, the corner of which was out of the wat£r line. As it came slowly out of the water, the bottom of the chest, through the additional weight of the gold and fifteen years of erosion, dropped out. The gold Ingots poured back to the bottom of the sea. Schlemmer made a mad dash to recover what he might of the gold. His foot stepped into a coil of the chain which the winch had pulled up. and which, at that moment, was being pulled quickly .back to the bottom. Schlem- ; Using hUt torch ax a weapon. ' • : (Poted Shaking with panic. The bell shook In the grasp of the octopus. From the boat above. McCreary. still looking out toward the tender with his binoculars, had his attention attracted by the excitement near the diving bell apparatus. The chain o." the bell was shaking as if a powerful force were pulling below. Momentarily forgetting Schlemmer, he rushed over to the aDoaratus. Below ithe surface, the octopus* wound a couple of tentacles around the chain above the bell while three or four clutched heavy undersea rocks. The octopus yanked the bell downward. The links of the chain were slowly parting as the crew above started to haul up the bell. The winch struggled to pull it above and the octopus worked equally hard to drag it lower. The chain separated and the bell went to the bottom of the ocean, with the tentacles of ihe octopus still abour it. "Shut off that valve!"- Diane Shrieked to Jackson, who was Jittering with fear He was so dazed that he didn't know what to do She reached up past him and turned off the valve from the broken air line. Fear clutched the hearts of everybody on deck when the winch brought up the chain and the broken air line. "Twenty minutes at the most--that's all the oxygen they've got. We've got to get that chain down there and connect it with the bell." Chapman turned to McCreary. "Thank God you didn't go with Schlemmer--get into your suit. McCreary." The diver hesitated. Chapman grabbed his arm, and said fiercely "I tell you, we've got to get a chaiij down there, quick--we've got haul that bell up! What are you waiting for?" McCreary still looked toward the tender, giving no evidence that he understood the horrible predicament of the person • in the bell. "What are you waiting for? Come 'on! Hurry! Every minute counts! .Jackson's down there--and Diane" At the word Dione. McCrearv sprang into action. He rushed < toward the compartment containing ! his equipment, followed by Chapi man and several other members of ^ crew, lie issued rapid ordern to the diver Jouglit the octopus by Ralph Bellamy and Fay Wretyt mer was pulled into the water and out of sight. Lily sat staring after ttim. Slowly her eyes raised with a look of- despair in them. She returned to the ship empty handed and with all thought of gold faded away. Her intAest ia life gone. Lily looked on as \yaldridge. one of the assistants. pe*red into a microscope. "Here--have a look," he said. Mechanically she accepted thfc invitation. "What do you see?" "A lot of Mexican jumping beans going crazy." ' 'T~\ "One of the early stages of life." said Waldridge. He cleared his throat. "A few million years ago one of them was you." "Me?" She looked up sharply. "Yea. You are watching the drama of the orlgUi of life." His arm crept around Lily's waist. He continued: "At first, a tiny egg. floating up from the ooze and slime --and then, as the ages went by " His emotions overcame him. and he gave,the girl a hug.' Leaning against the rail of the ship at its prow and lookfng at the sea ahead, stood McCreary and Diane. "Yes. sir--and the tough part of it is, those chunks of gold are buried in mud. Nobody could ever bring them up now They'll stay there forever at the bottom of the sea-- with Schlemmer If Schlemmer hadn't been so anxious to get away, he'd have put extra chains on that chest when it came out of the wuter." McCreary paused and. looked at Diane. "It cost me a million bucks to go down there, after you." "Well--?" she naked, ypith a jMdelong glance. McCreary edged a little bit closer to- her and put hi* arm around the girl. "You're the kind of a girl that'* going to get in trouWe all her life-- and anybody that trails along with you is jwat looking for trouble." There was a ghost of a smile on Diane's face.

SUICiDr IS SfiOUEL - TO ONE DIP INTO £ PARIS NIGHT LIFE Man and Wife "Blow Up" Easing Strain «i... C"' ' Long, Hard Study. ~" Paris.--Every once in a while the curtain behind which the Parisians lead their dynamic .lives goes tip, and the outside world Is either shocked oir thrilled. Such an instance is that of the latest tragedy to follow a "night out" tn Montparnasse, a favorite section for American tourists. One of France's promising young chemists as a result died of a self-inflicted bullet wound after his humiliated wife shot herself. They had never before visited the "boxes" of Montparnasse, as Frenchmen refer to their night clubs. "Innocents Abroad." It was an example of "innocents abroad" among the French lUemselves. Urblan Thuau, only twenty-live, who had ranked high in the Institute of Applied Chemistry at the Sorbonne, and who consequently was aitached to the chemical division of the military school, was married less than a year ago to a childhood sweetheart. Fatigued by excessive work, they decided that an evening out would settle their tense nerves. They would forget the hum-drum of'llfe, the dull fdrmulas of concentrated foods and war gases. But instead of settling their nerves, pent up by many months of "Jamming" for examinations and intense laboratory work, the "night out" had the opposite effect. Their suppressed Latin temperaments exploded after a taste of frivolity. They visited one cabaret after another. Unaccustomed to any caharet life at all, they didn't know where to stop. Two cabaret girls assisted the husband In carrying his wife home. The job of the cabaret girls was half to carry the husband home, as well. Conscience Sting*. But the two cabaret girls stayed on at the Latin quarter home of the couple. The wee hours of the morning became less and less wee. The wife finally woke up, and after strenuous efforts, she was once again alone with herliusband. The husband was as consciencestricken as his wife was humiliated. He hardly moved a muscle when he saw her go toward the hiding place for their pistol. By the time he had summoned enough energy, he discovered she was Intending to bill nerself, not himself. He heard the shot, and saw her fall. He scribbled a note "My wife killed herself. I am killing myself. Don't investigate; we were drunk. I ask my parents' forgiveness." * He did as he threatened, and never knew that his wlfe/«^»ugh seriously wounded, was not dead. The father of the Uecetised Is a chevalier the Freneh Legion of Honor.
