E. E. Fugel, professor of German, is sending out 88 USG editions of the University of Kansas Newsletter to high school students in Kansas. This is the second year the bulletin has been sent out since the war.
According to Professor Engl, statistics show that there has been a 40 percent increase in students studying German in high school over the number of German speakers among the large schools which have added Germen to the curriculum.
The German exchange students, Georg Brandau, gr., and Alfred de Chapeauroug, gr, each has written an article which is included in the leather. Biddles, a little humorous story, an old German proverbs, the Pseudo-Christian mending prayer, all written in German, make up part of the contents.
In the years before the war, the bulletin reached a circulation of 10,000. Professor Engel says that he believes he will be able to continue the publication in spite of the depression unless the circulation reaches too high a figure.

As to the Fay East, all through the Manhattan and Shanghai trouble last fall the state department did not know how much diplomatic support it could get from Britain, Italy, and France in respect to the treaties, and, as the future of Japan is uncertain, the United States, Simpson wanted to talk with Darland, Turdeau, and Foreign Minister Grand of Italy to learn more of their views than telegrams or telephone conversations could tell him. Simpson has found the other three anxiots to avoid any acts which would lead to bad feelings between them and Asia.
Simpson is equally determined to avoid this, but the Secretary has been impressed by their common determination. He respects the "open door" policy must be respected. It now appears that any attempt to violate these treaties will be resisted diplomatically with a United Nations resolution.
Stimson Encouraged by
Umison Encouraged Attitudes of Leaders Toward Theaties in Far East
Copyright by United Press
Washington, May 3—(UP) —Secretary of
Foreign Affairs John Koehler's leaders have led him to think they will firmly support America's effort to uphold the "open door" policy in China and the sanity of the tariffs in the Far East.
FRANCE IN OPPOSITION
The French attitude is the stumbling block, the French want to make the League an international police body and are unwilling to support any other plan. Despite this, some American observers say it is essential to meet some measure of disarmament.
It was as much in search of this assurance as to stimulate disarmament that Stimson went to Geneva. Now he has obtained it. Hence, despite the importance of the agreement plan the Secretary's association think his trip was well justified.
The United Press is in a position to present the views of an experienced diplomatic observer with regard both to the situation in Libya and our external outlook. Stimson went to Geneva hoping that statesmen there were ready to abolish heavy mobile guns, tanks, and poisonous gas. Due to French opium addiction, it would be hard to fire, but it has not been abandoned.
Statemen there realize that, unless the conference reaches some agreement, the political tension in Europe will be increased; too the people at home are upset. Statemen want their delegates to sacrifice what they consider national advantages.

Can Still Obtain Invitations
Seniors Must Pay Increased Price According to McCreight
"I would like to remind the seniors again that they can still obtain invitations," and Charles McCraight at the business office this morning.

Teachers' Bureau Must Discontinue All Free Services
Chandler Explains Reduced Budget Necessitates $1 Charge for Services
OTHER SCHOOLS CITED
The present free service of the teachers' appointment bureau will be discontinued on June 30, 1932, on account of the reduced schedules of the present budget, announced H. E. Chandler director, this morning.
Any person on the active list may keep his name on file by paying a dollar fee at the business office. Mr. Chandler explained that a recent survey of the leading schools and colleges in the country showed that 80 percent of students pay a fee of some kind.
A complete statement by Mr. Chandler is given as follows:
Chandler Gives Statement
"By order of the Board of Regents the present free services of the teachers appointment bureau will be discontinued on June 30, 1982. Beginning July 1, 1982 all teachers be required to pay a fee of $1 which will entitle them to the services of the bureau for one year from date of payment. This change of policy is made necessary by the present budget and the departmental requirements required by the Board of Regents to balance the budget for the coming year, the University budget committee finds it necessary to eliminate or greatly curtail all maintenance costs."
"It is with much regret that the Teachers Appointment Bureau is obliged to abandon the free service given to students and alumni of this institution, in part due to the bureau many years ago. The increasing difficulty of financing appointment activity has forced many educational institutions to put the work on a fee basis instead of paying a leading schools of the country shows that about 60 per cent of them now charge a fee of some kind. If the service is to be kept up to a good standard of efficiency the University must make arrangements that have already taken this step.
"Under the above ruling it will be impossible for the bureau to continue service after July 1 to any registrants who have not paid the fee. Any person now on the active list may pay the $1 to the business office and his credentials will be kept in the active file for a year. Payment must be made at the business office and not at the office; receipt will be sent by the Bursar to the appointment secretary as evidence that the fee has been paid.
Pay at Business Office
"Notices are being mailed to all non-resident persons now registered in the bureau notifying them of the changed regulations. Until the close of the press, the bureau will continue to give service without charge to all registrants."

Japanese Marines Raid U.S. Defense Territory
Chinese Police Seek Aid of American Battalion During Attack
Lieutenant Commander Katsuma, commanding the Japanese first brigade, tried to defy Major Girou's demand that he逮捕 the prisoner and return to Chapel. He yielded after a heated argument. Katsuma charged that the Chinese had been stung the Japanese across the creek. Katsuma threatened that if force is required to exact vengeance "no matter what interfered." A strong guard of the United States regiment was posted throughout the district.

Managing Editor Proud of Only Part of Material Published, Says Pierro
Mr. Pierrot spoke on "Creative Editing" because the public has an odd conception of what an editor does
"An editor is a creative writer. More than half the stories The American Boy publishes originate on our staff. Of course we don't make all the plot, but we work out the background for most of the stories.
"Most people think an editor is a person who sits in a swivel chair, has visions of manuscripts flying by in a spacecraft himself from buying most of them.
"There is an opinion that the new writer doesn't have a chance." Mr. Pierrot continued, "but this statement is certainly not true. All magazines are now published by The Sunday Evening Post develops about 50 new writers each year.

Mr. Pierrot expressed the idea that writers seem to expect to make money immediately after entering the field: "Lawyers and doctors have long periods of training, and the writer has to have it too," he said.
Mr. Pierrot went on to say that after a writer has written 35 stories of his best work, then he is ready to draw conclusions about himself.

"Put over your idea, and the style will come later," the speaker urged. "A period will come when you are yourself. Style is a personal rat, not caused by them." In many cases, well as they can, then they have watched the peak, but it's not a rat."
