VERY city, town and hamlet in the United States and most of the cap tals of the world pald tribute to the character and achievements of George Washington on Mon- day, the two hun- dredth anniversary of his birth, The cele brations, fostered by Congressman Sol Bloom's commission, will continue in this country through most of the year In one form or another. Of- ficially, the bicenten- nial doings were opened In Washing: ton when President Hoover delivered an address before a joint session of con- gress which was attended by all high officials of the government, the mem- bers of the Supreme court and the dip- lomatie corps. Standing before the brilliant gather ing. Mr. Hoover called cn the Ameri- can people to rededicate themselves to those principles befitting a free peo ple of which Washington was a living exponent. “We have need again,” he sald, “to bring forth the picture of the glories and the valor of Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill, the suffering and fortitude of Valley Forge, the vie tory of Yorktown. We have need to revive the meaning and the sheer mor- al courage of the Declaration of Inde pendence, the struggles of the conti nental congress, the forming of the Constitution.” No part of these great events, the President reminded those who packed the galleries, “can be uted from the name and th mi i of George Was There were m in and near Wi dent laid a wreat) tomb at Mount Ver : Light Infantry Bloes mond Grays marched in a colorf rade through Alexandria: the Na Education association In convention were addressed by Mr. Hoover; and in the evening there was a grand co lonial ball in Washington and a “birth- night ball” at Gadsby's tavern in Alex- andria duplicating as far as possible the last birthnight ball Washington attended there, in 1708, President Hoover tional *T ErovacH the medium of a letter to Senator Borah, ary of State Stimson served notice on Japan and the world at large that the United States still stands by the open door policy enunciated by John Hay in 1800, recoznized by the Washington confer ence of 1021-22 and Implicit in the nine-power treaty and other agree ments concerning the Pacific. These pacts he declared to be interdepend. ent, and the malntenance of the In tegrity of China necessary for the wel- fare not only of China but of the whole world. In effect Mr. Stimson's state ment is a threat by the administration that the United States will abrogate the Washington treaty limiting the capital ship strength of the naval pow- ers and restricting American defenses in the western Pacific If Japan per- gists in disregarding the nine power treaty guaranteeing the territorial in- tegrity of China. He said if the Pa- cific treaties had been faithfully ob served such a situation as now exists could not have arisen. ——— OACHED by skilful German sol- diers, the Chinese troops in the Bhanghal battle area successfully with- stood a terrific attack by the Japanese that lasted three days and cost uncounted lives. The Invaders shelled the positions held by the Chinese along the line to the Woosung forts almost continuously and re peated attempts to ad- vance the Infantry were made, but at the close of the oper ations the Chinese, badly battered, were still there. Two days TV: Soong later the Japanese airmen made a fu- rious attack on Kiangwan, showering down huge bombs on the defenders: and then the troops again attempted to rush the Chinese positions, withont any success, Reinforcements were called for and the Tokyo governmen®, which had Just won a victory in the elections, “decided to send two mote army divisions, and na full general to supersede Lieut. Gen. Kenkichl Uyeda, The Chinese government, encour aged and determined to resist to the Jast, was hurrying more troops to Shanghal and the energetic T, V, Soong was making marked progress fn his great task of raising money to keep up the fight, Large contribn. tions were received not only from all parts of China ‘but from Chinese In many other lands, As the week neared the close the Japanese, enraged by the resist ance they had met, launched a new offensive that was reported to be driv. ing the Chinese back In disorder. This Keeret was the bloodiest battle so far In the Shanghal conflict. Japanese planes dropped cans of gasoline on Klungwan and Miaohungehen, bombs Ignited the explosive and conflagrations resulted. APAN'S reply to the latest admonl tion of the league of Nations coun- cil was recelved In Geneva and was found to be a stiffly worded snd re- sentful retort, ‘The Japanese govern- ment, It sald, could not understand why the appeal of the twelve powers was made to Japan, Instead of to China, the real aggressor. The league pact, It added, does not exclude self- defense, nor does ft leave China free to attack everybody in sight. Tokyo told the league that its observations are “obscure” and “superfluous,” for Japan entertains no territorial or po litical ambitions in China. Japan, sald the note, cannot consider China as an “organized people” In the sense used by the lengue covenant, and declares It 1s impossible to treat the chaos In China as If It were order. Altogether, the reply from Tokyo was little less than a slap In the face for the league council, NE seeming result of the war In the Orient was the approval by the senate naval affairs committee of the Hale bill authorizing the expend! ture of $775,000.000 for the building of our navy up to tonnage parity with Great Britain and to the treaty ratio with Japan, its attitude of several weeks ago, the committee voted unanimously to report the measure to the senate with a recommendation that It be passed at once.

Chang- chun was selected as the capital of Ankuo and public bulldings there were being prepared for Henry's installa. tion which was set for March 1. It was believed he would be declared president or dictator for life. Of course the government of Ankuo will be quite subservient to Japan, ‘his new state will not be permit. ted to exist unchallenged, however, Al ready rebellious forces have been col lected and are reported to be mov ing’ against Hs!

ELEGATES to the disarmament conference In Geneva will just talk until the Easter recess, which will begin March 19 and last probably two weeks, Then the subcommissions will get busy with all the proposals for armament reduction that have been made by the various nations. Mean while the delegates can mull over these thirty-five plans and the draft convention offered by the preparatory commission. Such was the decision of the steering committee, which appar. ently thought the delay would give things a chance to turn for the better. Ambassador Hugh Gibson and his col leagues of the American delegation didn’t like this arrangement at all and sald so, but they were overruled for France, Germany and Great Britain were in no hidrry to bring matters to a decision. RANCE'S new premier is Andre Tardieu, and his ministry and pol- {eles have been promptly given a vote of confidence by parliament. Tardieu will make no change in the French disarmament and reparations policies, he told the deputies. The government, he sald, will participate In negotiations with a view to adjusting the repara- tions schedule, but it will not permit repudintion of existing agreements. In the field of disarmament the new ministry agrees with the last that se curity 1s a prerequisite to reduction of arms, One change made by Tardieu, how. ever, was the subject of hot debate He has united the army, navy and avia. tion ministries into a single ministry of defense, the portfolio being given to Francols Pletrl, The premier de fended the plan warmly, pointing out that the unified ministry gave France a tremendous advantage over other countries In discussing any scheme of disarmament and would enable the na. tion to make drastic cuts, both budgetary and direct, In certain branches of armament without sacri ficing defensive strength, Ov.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Arricalture }—WNI Bervice Rice by-products as feeds for live stock are coming Into more use in the United States now that the production of rice is increasing. The process of milling rice for human consumption remecvss about 10 per cent of the protein and 85 per cent of the oll content of the kernel in the form of rice bran and rice polish These by-products and another known ns brewers’ rice make excellent feeds for live stock. The proteins of rice are similar in nutritive value to those of other grains and oil-bearing seeds, brewers’ rice same feeding have practically the alue as corn In fatten ing rations, according to E. WV. Sheets and A. T. Semple of the bureau of animal Industry, who conducted expe riments. The only exception is the hog ration, in which the quantity of rice polish must be limited because of its tendency to produce soft pork When fed In limited quantities rice polish may have 25 per cent more value than corn because of its high fat and protein content. Rice bran, which also has a high feeding value, apparently is valuable In preventing nutritional leg weakness In growing chicks, Rice hulls, on the other hand, have practically no value as feed and are commonly used for fuel by the mills, Miscellaneous Publication 132.MP, “Rice and Its By-products for Feed Ing Live Stock,” published by the de partment, gives specific information regarding the use of rice and rice by- products In feeding horses and mules, hogs and chickens, Suge rations rice or rice by- products are also included for various kinds of live stock obtained on application to the office of ! partment of Agricul DC cattle, ested containing Coples may be information, Hog-Cholera Outbreaks drought Under Cont in many of the exnerionce fiks of An est of the iI Stat { of Agricuita indicat ! re losses were aboy winal to those ed in some ak of 1020 the rate ment es tha cent experiend the disease eau sections during severe outhre when the sev] losses at 70 hogs In each 1.06%, The outhre 8 last year how the era serum nn December show diminished rapidly with use of anti-hog-chol advent of winter, a marked reduction in the preva of the in some states the num. lence disense, ber of outbreaks receding almost 50 per cent.
