Reinforcements Rushed to Kaisang by Japanese
Robert Shorte, American Identified as Pilot Shot Down
Shanghai, Feb. 23 — (UP) Jamaar rushed reinforcements into the jungle before Kaisan today when the wave of green clad infantry, backed up by heavy artillery bombardment, failed to breach the city walls through unviolating Chinese lines.
The Japanese high command, pending arrival of the reinforcements, suspended the Japanese offensive on the Japanese island of Japura and sank fort. Foreign military observers said the Japanese apparently were awaiting reinforcements from Tokyo The Japanese command said the deck was still unoccupied, despite it would unnecessary casualties.
The offensive was suspended after a heavy artillery bombardment and a Japanese infantry attack failed to maim him. He was reinforced Chinese. The Chinese reinforcements at Kaising and Kiangwan had moved into the front lines during the fighting, but China failed to dialogue them. Chinese continued their harassing attack on the Japanese after suspension of the offensive, but never in any considerable way.
Victors Salute Dead Pilot
Shanghai, Feb 23 (UP)—The pilot of an aircraft shot down yesterday by the Japanese was identified. He perished in the flaming plane. Shorts was attached to a Chinese aviation squadron. The pilot was shot down occurred over Soochow.
Shorts had engaged Japanese pursuit places in an aerial battle lasting three weeks. He learned that there were also two other Americans in the squadron to which he belonged.
The aerial battle in which Shore pitted was one of the most spectacular in the Shanghai campaign. It was one of the most memorable victories that had been pitied against superior odds.
Three Japanese scouting planes were droning over Soochow where a Chinese airdrome is located, the Chinese plane took the air to beat them. Shortly a plane was shot down from 2,000 feet and headed to the ground, a mass of fire.
The Japanese returned safely to their Shanghai maze. Pilot Sifuonu Kotani, a British officer, landed on the ground and taken to the Japanese military hospital at Hongku where he was treated.
When Shore's airplane, which the Chinese had purchased only two weeks ago, landed in a showroom, Shore was an American, thought they had encountered the "bravest Chinese," and dipped in saffron. They got the airplane was glimming to the ground.
Musical Vespers Presented

Ingham's Father Dies
An audience larger than usual was resent for the thirty-third all-musical regatta was offered by the School of Arts faculty with the exception of three uncompanied choral groups of the first Presbyterian church.

which is injected intravenously to catacombic patients, those who refuse to talk, and to maniate depressives, those who talk a great deal without respiration.
"A psychological effect is produced by sodium amylal. Dr DeSalva explained, "which does not harm the patient except to temporarily show that they are no longer being injected with a small dose of caffeine, the patient is stimulated and gives a constructive picture of his past. This aids us in seeing the patients more clearly." By remembering of the aid by talking sensibly and remembling the past.
The first occurrence of using sodium amylate, called to Doctor DSilva from Doctor L. Lindemann, from the Department of Microbiology at F. Flechiorgr, is trying further experiments to determine the influence of this drug in the psychology laboratory on the life-
"We have two cases which have been sent home and apparently cured." Doctor DoSilva stated, "because of the treatment."
This experiment has gained recognition and the officials from the hospital of the penitentiary for drug addicts at Fort Bragg, Calif., with Doctor DeSilve and his workers.
Bancroft, a physical chemist from Cornell, holds the belief that sodium amylate has little effect on that sodium rhodanite has a thinning effect. If this is the case then further experiment will prove that the depressives seem to have thickener nerve tissues and the catastrophic type of insanity is caused by a thinning price.
Professor Robert Taft, of the chemistry department, is working to find if similar drugs work better in the duets of those working on the experiment to obtain a psychological effect from the patience without producing the slowing down effect.

McNutt Says
"Three courses face the American people—to retreat before the forces of evil and revolution, or to accept a dictatorship; to *did in and did out* by force; to *do as* or to do as did Marcial Foeh had when his right and left wings were crumbling to 'charge by the center.' There is nothing wrong with American institutions, the difficulty being that they are trying to administer them.

Butler Will Speak Here on 'Our Crime Problem
my hope for America is that we may be a practical people while we work and pray that Mary may find the work of Bethlehem take its place.
Is Well Known for Fiery Remarks and Fearless Action
Smedley D. B. Butler, ferry marine chief, will speak on the subject, "Our Crime Problem," Friday night, as the second week of the University lecture course program.
Restored Peace in Shanghai
Butler is well known as a speaker who says what he thinks. Not many years ago Butler was speaking over the control room, became so alarmed at Butler's choice of adjectives that he thought it best to confine the speaker's attention.
In 1927 he performed an act that proved of the greatest satisfaction, both to himself and to his country. As commander of the third brigade Butler moved forward with his carriage into Shanghai and without firing a single shot managed to restore peace in the American settlements of Japan. Butler was an international discussion for days.
Butler's ready tongue involved the United States in international difficulties when he censured DII. Laue, first, but Butler as done much for his country.
When only 17 years of age he went to the Spanish-American war. He arrived just in time for the last major battle, which ended as served as a soldier in some capacity.
From the Spanish-American war Butter went to the Philippines to aid in putting down the insurrection of 1899. In 1900 he went to China where the French had surrendered. In 1902 he went to Culebra, Pamama Carol Zone, where he stayed until 1904.
Won Congressional Medal
In April of 1914, in the battle of Vera Cruz, Butler received his first medal of honor. A year later in Haiti he received his second congressional medal.
From 1916 to 1918 Organizer and headed the Haitian gendarmerie requested a leave of absence and was given command of the thirteenth regiment.
Upon arriving in France, Butter was put in command of the historic Ponte Vecchio bridge, given command of the fifth brigade which command he held until the end of the war.
Butler's speech will begin at 8 p.m. in the University Auditorium. Originally the speech was billed for 8:20 p.m. but Butler will have to speak at 7:45 p.m., so that he can sit down to train to make proper connections for his next stop.

2. If a resolution to that effect is defeated the conference should consider the Soviet plan for progressive proper forces, by which the most powerful armed countries should submit to the dictates of other except countries disarmed by peace treaties.
3. Countries of land forces of over 200,000 shall reduce by 50 per cent. Those between 30,000 and 200,000 shall reduce by 10 percent to the number of effects.

As Washington Monuments We Must Make Today the Time for Service'
WORLD DESIRES PEACE
"American institutions are fundamentally sound, despite the predictions of passimists that this nation will like that following the fall of the Roman Empire," declared Paul V. McNutt, dean of the American College and former national commander of the American Legion, at the Washington birthday convoction at the University of Virginia.
"As for me," said Dan McNuitt, "do not tear with those dues herself; they are for communion or a dietatechoe; we fail short only in the administration of our dues."
He then stressed the fact that the World war was fought to do away with three aristocracies. Italy was singled out as an example of a dictator government. It had no power over government as any government could possibly be," he asserted.
Advocates Courage
"Many people are asking how we are succeeding in our great experiment with our new technology." "Mimy are saying that we are not one. A very famous national leader stood in Washington and said that what the nation needs is a new computer."
many people believe that we will eventually be led to the same condition that Russia now finds itself in. But we must not forget that "others believe that a revolution may take place or that the people in the United States will fall under a dictatorship, but we should attack our enemies with honesty, frugality and courage."
"The pessimistic outlook on our present situation is no better than that of the optimistic. I hope you slip to solve our problems. It has, however, reached a high note because if the large amount of pessimism shown in the country today," Mr. McQuillty said.
"There is one thing we must lay hold of—nothing is wrong with our government as an institution but it is with our system," Mr. McNutt said with our conversation. "Mr. McNutt."
World Wants Peace
Mr. McNutt said that what mankind had been looking for from time inimemorial, what people have been striving for, is to be able to be accomplished are: a permanent peace must be established with honor and security; it must be based on justice; other methods other than military force may be used to dispute, other nations must reduce their armaments, United States must provide adequate defense; this defense must be based on service from all over, not just on the shoulders of a prolific out of the nation's purl.
"At the present time," he said, "the serious obligation of American citizens lies chiefly in the consideration of four issues, taxation, taxing, police and we+lfare measures, and military and political organ taxes. We do not pay organs pays taxes because he has to, and does not investigate the justification for the amounts and purposes.
By police and wretched invenment he explained, "is meant justice. The fundamental law, and proper law, and although many do not respect the methods by which laws are made or enforced, the average citizen does have respect for law.

"The endless investigations and reports on conditions of law" **law enforcement** the statement of William Howard Taft. "We the most lawless civilized people in the world," he added. In his direction he said that the great need of modern youth is discipline and respect for authority, and for this training, school and job are responsible.
