WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1931 = THE SUMMER MIHIGAN DAILY Pd TEnI WESTERN FORESTS SWEPT BY FLAMES Valuable Timber Is Destroyed ini Northern Idaho, Montana; Hundreds Fight Fire. SPOKANE, Wash., July 28.-(IP)- A raging Deer Creek fire in North Idaho and Montana was licking through valuable timber today, with 25,000 blackened acres in its wake. Hundreds of men were vainly at- tempting to quench the blaze as it swept through mountainous terri- tory along a 17-mile front. Brisk winds whipped the fire from a small burn into a conflagration that sent human being and animals fleeing for life. Seven persons from Bonners Fer- ry, Ida., found shelter in protected mine buildings and watched one of their abandoned automobiles burn before they escaped from the dan- ger zone. Reinforcements were mobilized in Spokane and. Newport, Wash., and Idaho and Montana towns. Trains and pack horses carried men to the danger lines while air- planes were speeding supplies to the district. Other fires spread a smoke pall over the inland empire Monday. One, which started in a woodshed, destroyed half of the town of Loon Lake, Wash. The damage was es- timated at $15,000. In California, the forest fire sit- uation was described as the worst in the history of the state. A blaze that swept Mt. Diablo was partly under control today, however, and fires in other sections were re- ported fairly well in hand. ........... ACCOUNTS OF WAR IN CHINA CONFLICT Reports Agree Only on Status of Forces at Railroad Near Paotingfu. SHANGHAI, July 28.-(P)-Con- flicting reports reaching Shanghai today greed only that heavy fight- ing is progressing on the Peiping- Hankow xrailway south of Paoting- fu. Nanking asserted her Manchu- rian allies have assumed the offen- sive and checked the rebel Shih Yu-San's advance in the region of Sinlo. Authoritative non-Chinese sources, however, reported Shih Yu-San captured Wangtu and took 1,000 Manchurian prisoners as well as rifles and artillery. These sources asserted Shih Yu- San is pressing northward, threat- ening Paotingfu, vital point of the Manchurian defense. Foreign military authorities ex- pressed the opinion that should Paotingfu fall, Chang Hsueh-Liang, Manchurian leader, probably would abandon Peiping and Tientsin without further trouble. i I -akes LeaguePost I .I I ADVOCATES YOUTH GE[T PEACESTUDIEF Penlington Proposes Institution. to Instruct All Children in International Relations. DENVER, Colo., July 28.-(P)- Education of the young in interna- tional relations as a means of pro- moting world peace was stressed Monday at the opening of the fourth biennial conference of the World Federation of Education As- sociations. H. N. Penlington of Hemsworth, Yorkshire, England, chairman of the primary schools section, said opinion of the advisability of pro- moting world peace by beginning instruction in that line in the gram- mar schools was "keenly divided" in England. "On the one hand," Mr. Penling- ton said, "the protagonists of League of Nations teaching assert that as we are all anxious to bring about world peace, there can be no sure way of doing so than to actu- ally teach peace and talk peace daily to children of impressionable- age."

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 28.- Looking back on a three year re- cord that has found Purdue out- scored on touchdowns only once in twenty-four games, the members of the Boilermaker football squad will have an enviable record to up- hold when they launch the 1931 football season here this fall in a double header against Coe and Wes- tern Reserve. Playing stiff eight game schedules for the past three years, the Boilermakers have been defeated only four times for a victory percentage of .833 over the three year period that ranks with the topnotch na- tional gridiron standing. * * * What makes the record even more remarkable is the fact that in the last 22 successive games the Boiler- makers have not been topped on touchdowns.

MILITARIST VIEIWS ATTACKEDBY ROSS Wisconsin Educator Scores Plea for 'National Defense Armament.' DENVER, Colo., July 28.-()- World militarists were attacked by Dr. Alsworth Ross, professor of sociology at University of Wiscon- sin, in an address today at the fourth biennial conference of the World Federation of Education As- sociations. "The militarist," said Dr. Ross, "takes great credit to himself for never asking one penny for of- fense; he is only pleading that his country 'put itself in a posture of defense.' And who but a commun- ist, or a 'traitor in the pay of Mos- cow,' can object to his country be- ing prepared to protect itself if wantonly attacked? "However, in the demands mili- tarists the world over are making upon their respectivergovernments, every gun is for 'defense,' not one for aggression. But if all the armies and fleets are for defense, against whom are we arming?" Dr. Ross declared that in each particular case the shouters foir stronger defense assume that the military heads of other nations are; lying when they profess to be con- cerned with national defense. "But if we suspect them of lying," he asked, "why shouldn't they equally suspect us of lying?" H. L. Smith, dean of the school of education at University of In- diana, delivered some postulates with related questions on his psy- chological experiments. LOST-Lady's green fountain pen! near campus.
