New Sino-Japanese 'Incident' Brings Advice to Little Kose
Shanghai, Apr. 1.
An open letter to a 4-year-old Japanese school-boy in Shanghal from the editor of the American-owned Shanghai Evening Post, published as a leading editorial during a time of intense feeling between Chinese and Japanese of Shanghai, has provoked more comment than any of the scores, of weighty pronuncfamentos which have been published hero in half a dozen languages. The letter resulted from a paragraph in a morning. newspaper to the effect that #1 new "incident" had junt been reported; "Knauo Kose, aged 4, of the West Japanese School on Liao- chow Road," it appeared, had been "alighaly thrown by a Chineac boy" with the result that "the school authorities Immediately asked the Pooloo Rond Polico Station and the Japanese Consular Police, to take adequate steps to prevent the re- currence of such an incident."
Chinese
Japanese Quoting the paragraph in question, the editor of the Pont
writes:
"Dear Kasuo Kone:
"We are deeply regretful over your rough handling, Painful recollections convince us that it is no fun to be even slightly thrown by other boys of any nationality!
"In mentioning this matter, we speak from an expert point of vlow, for the Americans in the office of the Shanghai Evening Peet were mostly raised in small but highly international small towns of the United States. Without exception, we each and all of us can testify to having been thrown, at about your age and for Rome yours thereafter, both slightly and with enthusiastic vigour, by boys from under many flage. These boys were coloured white, black, yellow, brown, red and all the other skin-hues known to the human race, and our general impression is that it hurts about ns much to be thrown by a fellow-American as by a Chinese, providing both throw with the name vim and vitality. On the other hand, if an American or, say, a Japanese, throws harder than a Chinese, the first hurts worst.
"Without having had the pleasure of your personal acquaintance, KARUO, wo have a notion that you didn't ask to be put into the newspapers. We rather imagine that if it were left up to you, you'd prefer to fight your own battles. We doubt very much if you want to play even a minor part in provoking an international incident.
In short, it's our idea that perhaps you might; if left to your- self, find ways and means of your own to square accounts with that Chinese boy if he really did you dirt. You are up against a pretty common bay problem and we are willing to believe you are com- petent to handle it in due course if let alone and given elbow roant. "Without meaning to judge your elders too harshly, Kanuo, we suspect that in this affair your supply of common sense is belter than theirs. We suggest that the school authorities, the Pootoo Road Police Station, the Japanese Consular Police, the Japanese Consulate General and the Japanese Embassy all fall back and Aeo if you are not perfectly competent to look out for yourself even at the tender age of 4 years."
HERE'S NEWEST LION (SEA) STORY
An amazed farmer near Aurora, Oregon, awoke the other morning to find a new specie of Oregon fauna occupying his pasture two miles from nearest water. The newest convert to the back to the a sea lion land movement turned out to be Sergeant Finnegan, which had worked its way up the Columbia River, up the Wil- lamette and over Willamette Falls to a point 125 miles from the
Pacific.

Piccard Sets 20-Mile Goal For Next Trip
Toledo, Apr. 6.
Dr. Jean Piccard and his wife are pointing for another flight into the stratosphere. This time, they hope to ascend 20 miles.
The noted Swiss-American scientist has been promised a gon- dola for the fight, and as soon as sponsorship and financial means for constructing the balloon are assured. "we will be prepared and bappy to take off. Dr. Piccard said in an intervliar here.
The Piccards completed a strato sphere flight in October, 1931, from Detroit, landing in a tree near Cadiz, O.
"Many of our date from that trip correspond with material gathered by Capts. Albert K. Stevens and Orville W. Anderson In their fight last fall," Dr. Ple- card said. The two army officers set a stratosphere altitude mark by rising more than 14 miles in a -flight originating nu
