'CHINA MUST BEHAVE
Demands for Modification However, Not Expected to Stop Adoption of Plan
Tokio, Dec. 3. — (UP) Japan today demanded immediate modifications in the nation's National Parks law, as part of the management of the Manchurian dispute, and submitted counter proposals on conditions on certain points on certain points in the plan, the government considered that the way was clear.
Mulken, Dec. 3.- (Copyright, 1911 by United Press.) Japanese forces will reinforce from moving southward from Hiroshima to Manchuria. Gen Shiguen Honjo, commander of the Japanese troops in Manchuria, declared that the Japanese are at large in United Press at general staff headquarters, stipulated that the Chinese must "Behave and refrain from assailance."
"I want to get the Japanese boy home before New Years, but the fulfillment of that wish depends on whether the Chinese abandon them in return for their children. The Chinese to retire immediately behind the Great Wall into China proper."
"Must Refrain From Fighting"
Japan rejected provisions which were considered here as efforts to establish a time limit for withdrawal of Japanese troops, and the principle that neutral observers accompany troops on measures to protect lives and property.
"The Japanese," he asserted, "from the policy of an economic open-air museum in Japan, and the spectacle Japanese general talked for an hour. He spoke vigorously and seemed sincerely eager to create an international network of motives of her Manchurian operation.
Occasionally he interrupted the conversation to give orders to attentive under-officers. Honjo's room was of the plainest kind, and only partly furnished. He had a cooler. A case of artificial roses was the only ornament in the room.
A veteran of the Russia-Japanese war, and of the Siberian expedition in 1918, he professes to abhore war.

Sentiment Grows for Disarmament Says Miss Winde
Leaders Favoring World
'EX-SERVICE MEN AID'
"Sentiment for world peace and disarmament is growing by beads not just in countries but in people who are not working for peace are out of date." Declared Mary M. Kerr, an executive director with the National Council for the Prevention of War, speaking before the nunchuck at the United Nations.
"The United States is spending $2,000,000 a day in the army and navy departments," and Miss Winder, "and yet there is no greater happiness than have only an increasing number of people who are 'bunny and cold.'"
During the past summer Miss Winster has traveled in Europe, studying public opinion and conditions involving German Jews. In a statement that the national leaders of the European countries are stammering over the Jewish question and discontent Lord Pelot Cecil of England, Briand of France, Curtius of Germany, and Madagascar of Spain, she said.
Holland Favors Disarmament
"In Holland," pointed out Miss Wisser, "the national news-paper printed by the Times and by the end of September, 2,300,000 people had signed it. In other words, considerably more than one half of the old population of Holland is working on a newspaper."
In Germany, Miss Winder found out that the military leaders were saying they would arm Germany must increase her armaments. The treaty of Versailles which compelled Germany to disarm also bound the other nations to reduce their armaments. But only the only road to permanent peace. Since nations have increased, instead of decreased, their armaments, German and French, these nations have "woken the treaty."
"In Austria," said Will Winder, "the people are asking their government to appoint to public offices those advancing disarmament. In Jugoslavia, the government has appointed a committee o work for a successful disarmament."
Two Groups Work in France
In France the two largest groups working for peace and disarmament are the Catholics and the ex-servants men of France. The latter is more over France. The latter say they know the horrors of war and don't want any more of them. The mission is the one way to ensure peace
"By disarmament," explained the speaker, "we do not mean complete disarmament of one nation alone but rather the reduction of armaments by every nation. The founders of our nation took our government should be subservient to the civil phase and therefore we should co-operate with this world-wide
In answer to a question about the United States in the League of Nations Miss Winder said, "The United States did not want to kill you and yet the United States haven't even one vote. She can only sit on the side of a bus." She sits in his hotel and musks his pipe.
"And about the Japanese situation," and Miss Winder, "I do not believe the war is being pushed by the civil government." She declared. The whole affair only demonstrates what a military group can do to get a nation into trouble.
JUNIOR AND SENIOR PICTURES
SHOULD BE TAKEN BY DEC. 1
The final deadline for junior and senior picture in the 1932 Jayhawker will be Saturday, Dec. 19, according to Joe Ginsberg, manager of this year's publication.
These pictures, of which there are still more than 300, are to be taken in Homer Ferguson's studio. Bloch stressed the fact that students must make their own pictures; they are not, as seems to be the belief of some, made by the Jayhawker staff. Glosses of pictures already taken may be obtained at the Ferguson studio, and are to be taken by the Jayhawker in the lamination of the Union building.

Hobo Day Inquiry Will Be Conducted by Men's Council
Peft of Flags, Invasion of High School, and Noise Complaint Causes
RESTITUTION IS ASKED
From Lawrence Memorial high school came the report that persons dressed in uniforms and by running through the corridors shouting and yelling, had been involved in a serious criminal disturbance. The persons, alleged to be University students, were said to have been arrested.
An investigation of complaints charging University students with misconduct on Hobo day was decided upon the next week, and a meeting last night. The complaints were received by Werner Werrer, men's student adviser, and passed on to the university.
Another complaint stated that three flags had been stolen from in front of business houses down town during the impromptu Hoe day parade. A third flag was recovered on officers on the campus and general* noise prevented many classes from being conducted properly. Some classrooms were situated so that the noise did not disturb the classes to any appreciable extent, but a said staff was said to have been a real problem.
Must Make Restitution
Before these belated complaints had reached him, Mr. Werner had expressed himself as satisfied with the manner in which he had responded. However, in the letter referring the matter to the council, Mr. Werner said that proper restitution must be made before he leaves the district to support Hobo day as he has done in the past. Proper restitution, he continued, would consist of an intra-court arbitration and the obtaining of the names of the disturbers by the council, and also the return of the stolen prop-
The members of the council voted to turn the matter over to the executive council for investigation.
Donald Roney, c33, and Hero L'Eau-

A bill was passed by the council providing that all vacancies in two-year terms shall be filled on a regular time of election. Other provisions for the filling of such vacancies will be presented to the chairman now must be presented to the chairman of the advisory board for ratification.
Marcin Johnson, C32, was appointed to represent the council in the county club program. Before making a definite decision on the proposed fund, the council decided to find out about the proposed program of the council at its next meeting. This procedure was considered admissible because of the committee's club work may be limited this year.
DEAN LAWSON TELLS CLASS
WHY SOME STUDENTS FAIR
"How students kid themselves," was the subject used by Dean P. B. Lawson in his talk to the freshman engineering lecture's class this morning in Marvin
"The reasons why some students fail to succeed," said Dean Lawson, "are headed by the mistake which many students make in coming to college when they want very bad to come, and should like their subject." Other reasons given by Dean Lawson included that of the student who makes himself believe that he cannot study or concentrate. Dean Lawson can concentrate if he tries hard enough.
