A Domei (Japanese) News Agency dispatch from Tientsin tonight said the Japanese Army command there had served an ultimatum on the Chinese military, declaring it would "take independent action" unless China ceased alleged attacks on Japanese patrols and withdrew troops from the disputed area west of Peiping. This threat followed a renewal of fighting in the zone west of Peiping, where Japanese and Chinese troops have been in intermittent conflict since July 7. Japanese military reports said Chinese soldiers making a concrete pillbox near Lukouchiao, on the Yungting River, 10 miles west of Peiping, fired on a Japanese detachment, gravely wounding Capt. Misayoshi Yamazaki. The attitude of the Japanese command was described in dispatches By DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, World War Premier of Great Britain.

(World copyright. 1937, by Universal Service. Reproduction in whole or in part strictly prohibited.) LONDON, July 19. The Palestine report is a deplorable ending to one of the most imaginative and promising experiments which the great war made possible. Ideals incorporated In "treaties of peace the International Federation to Ensure Peace the reduction of armaments to a point where they would not exceed the dimensions of an adequate police force the elimination of war as a means of adjusting and determining disputes between nations, have all been gradually abandoned.

And now the Jewish National Home in Palestine is to be mutilated and left to shamble along, a disfigured and hopeless cripple. Millions of brave men, resolutely led, won the victory. A succession of weak governments have already muddled away most of its greatest achievements and extinguished its brightest hopes. Report Is Confession of Failure. It was well said a few days ago by one of the ablest publicists of the day, who is by no means hostile to the existing British Government, that the Palestine report is "a confession of failure, wounding to our national pride." That is the British view of this document.

It is a lamentable admission that uu Aoeitl Press. PEIPING, July 19. The head-quirters of the Japanese army in jforth China at Tientsin described Joday inaufficient the verbal set-tlmnt of the Chinese-Japanese crisis reported to have been made yesterday. Japanese military authorities declared they would not be satisfied with the assurances Gen. Sung Cheh-yuan, commander of the Associated Press Photo.

"HESE youths at the Fort Niagara (N. military training camp walk through a barrage of gas in order to learn the use of masks. The gas is armless, but smells and looks like the real thing. the State has no more than th right to intervene." In these words, 'Viscente Uribe, Minister of Agriculture, defined th Government's land policy. In doing so he made it clear to the peasants that neither the Government, as a whole, nor particularly th Communist party, of which Urib is a member, had any Intention of forcing collectivization on them.

On the contrary, the Communist party is one of the outstanding opponents of the collectivizing: projects of the Anarchists, and the Government has broken up many collectives which the Anarchists had forcibly imposed on the countryside. As a result, the peasants are strongly with the republican government. As another result the Communists are making nearly as fast progress in the countryside as in the towns. For they advocate and apply a program far removed from what is considered "Bolshevik." It is much nearer that of the French revolution which created the great conservative land owning peasant class, the backbone of French economy for nearly a century and a half. Spain, unlike Russia, is a land where the problem is much more to restore exhausted resources than to exploit virgin ones.

This is particularly the case with the land. The correspondent, accustomed to Western wheat lands, stared amazed at the wheat fields around Albacete, which by American standards seemed pitifully thin, although it is "the best crop Spain has ever seen." The land was very even and the fields very clean, but the correspondent did not see a field that would run 25 bushels to the acre. Where the road ran through the cuttings, it could be seen there was no top soil whatever. It had disappeared long ago. Crops were grown right on the sub soiL Everywhere there Continued on Page 4, Column By the Associated Press.

WELS, Austria, July 19. Police canceled a parade permit yesterday when 10,000 German and Austrian war veterans participated in illegal Nazi demonstrations at a meeting addressed by Franz von Papen, German Ambassador. After the former soldiers sang the Horst Wessel song and gave the Nazi salute, several hundred police arrested a few ringleaders and threatened to clear the field if demonstrations continued. The veterans, instead of parading, retired to beer halls. Authorities estimated about 1300 German visitors attended, but it was reported the Austrians asked the number be limited.

Police with small cameras took hundreds of photographs of persons making the forbidden Nazi salute and additional arrests were expected. Von Papen told the gathering that the German peoples must be fused and said, "our object is peace, but it must be with honor." Edmund Glaise-Horstenau, Austrian Minister of the Interior, who was war-time liaison officer between the German and Austrian general staffs, recalled the close co-operation of the two countries during the war.

PATNA, India, July 19. The death list in the wreck of the Calcutta Express reached 107 persons today as authorities continued their investigation of one of the worst rail disasters in India's history. The dead included six women and one child. Sixty-five persons were injured. The engine and seven coaches of the express left the rails and plunged over an embankment 15 miles from Patna yesterday.

Its notice was said to declare that unless all Chinese firing ceased the Japanese would begin action at noon Tuesday. Japanese army leaders were reported to regard the situation as grave and to consider the new clash violated the local, oral settlement reached by military leaders of the two sides at Tientsin Sunday. It is near Lukouchiao that the first Chinese-Japanese clash of the rado counties, has been credited in some years with as high as 90 per cent destruction of the season's grasshopper hatch. Darting after grasshoppers in flight, sarcothagid deposits its eggs on their bodies, usually right beneath the wings. The maggot that hatches from the egg within two or three days devours its way inside the grasshopper's body.

Careful not to munch on any vital organ until it reaches maturity in 10 or 15 days, the parasite finally cuts into a vital spot, killing the insect so suddenly it may fall dead in flight, McCampbell said.

A fly known as sarcotha-gid is proving itself a stalwart ally in Colorado's war on grasshoppers. Mortal insect enemy of the grasshopper, this near cousin of the common house fly may speed materially annihilation of the pests now ravaging ranges and fields in the State's worst infestation since 1880. While an experiment in spreading poison bait by airplane is to be attempted near Fort Morgan Tuesday, the effectiveness of sarcotha-gid's aerial onslaught is proved. Entomologist Sam C.

E. R. Morrow, provost of Chelmsford Cathedral, in his sermon at Chelmsford last night blamed American influence for the bill now before Parliament to relax British divorce laws. "In every contact with the United States," the provost said, "there has been a lowering of moral standards and a flippancy in which the noblest ideals of domestic life have been derided.

He told the envoy he would wait until midnight tonight for Nanking submit a new reply. Previous Chinese-Japanese crisis in North China have been settled between Japanese commanders on the spot and local Chinese officials. The Japanese Army, a dominant factor in determining China's policy, had insisted that any settlement of the present dispute must be local and that Nanking's acceptance or objection was of little importance.

The Chinese Government vigorously' protested to Japan today that Japanese scouting planes had aided Chinese troop and supply rains with machine guns in Hopeh Province, violating; China's terri-ritorial sovereignty. Concerning the airplane-troop train clash Japanese admitted their planes had fired on the trains at Yuanshih. 170 miles south of Peiping on the Hankow Railroad, but declared the troops aboard the trains had first fired on the Japanese craft. The Chinese declared their troops had suffered many casualties in the attack. Japan, scoffing reports that any real truce had been reached at the Tientsin conference Sunday, charged heavy concentrations of Chinese troops had violated an agreement which the Japanese Army says forbids the Nanking Government from sending troops into North China.

Ready for State of Emergency. Particularly heavy concentrations of Chinese troops were said to have been made at Paotingfu, 85 miles south of Peiping while armies were moving in from the Northwest and South on the area where Japanese and Chinese have been fighting since July 7. In view of the steadily increasing tension in the rich North China region, the Tokio metropolitan area was prepared for a state of emergency. First reports of Chinese mobilizations drew a warning from Japan that she considered them a violation of the Ho-umezu agreement which formed the basis for the charges of invasion made today. The terms jf the agreement signed in 1935 by Gen.

Ho Ying-chin, Chinese Minister of War and then ranking North China official, and Gen. Yosnijiri Umezu, at the time commander of the Japanese North China garrison, have never been made public. The Nanking Government does not recognize the agreement.

That is admitted.

Trouble Due to Success. Have they failed in their efforts at colonization? Trouble has arisen entirely from the magnitude of their success. The report handsomely acknowledges their triumph. Their land settlements are models of intensive culture. They have drained malarial swamps, which produced nothing but germs of disease, and converted them into gardens which maintain happy and prosperous little communities.

They have established flourishing industries on the barren sand dunes of the Mediterranean. They have built Tel Aviv, a modern city of 150,000 inhabitants, which, in its productive activity, in its administration, its amenities and the culture of its people, will rival any town of its size on the shores of that great inland sea. The Jewish settlements have not only prospered themselves, but they have diffused that prosperity throughout the whole land of Canaan. Arabs' Wages Trebled. Trade has leaped up, revenue has increased fourfold, the wages of the Arab laborer (who now wants to slaughter all his benefactors) have been at least trebled, and his health and that of his children has improved by the elimination of malaria and by the Jewish health serv-ices.

The report faithfully records the fact that before the Jews took the country in hand it was a squalid desolation. Fertile valleys and plains, which formerly maintained millions, had become poisonous bogs or parched deserts. According to the report, "the population, which is still overwhelmingly Arab in character, eked out a precarious existence." Since the mandate the Jews have poured over $385,000,000 of capital into this land, impoverished by centuries of Arba and Turkish neglect, inefficiency and corruption. Money Spent for Development.
