The kulaks already in Manchuria declare that probably thousands of others, will follow their example, and that a migration of consider able proportions may be expected. They report that the Soviet author. ities do not favour emigration of po-kulaks into Manchuria, and that it is necessary to evade Soviet guards in crossing the border.

Princess's Confession. In full confession to the lice, the-princess admitted that she had influenced the older squaw to murder the artist's wife. She said she used a "quija-board," or plan. chette, to influence the aged and superstitious squaw to commit the actual murder.

Land is being provided for the Russians as soon as they take out Chinese citizenship, but a number of Chinese officials who own land are driving hard bargains, which assure them a good return on their land

He pointed out that these writers have no truc concep- tion of the reality either of persons ar of history.

Charlie's Later "Date"...

I mentioned the report that Mr. Chaplin has booked a suite of rooms At the Hotel George V., and added that this had been taken to mean he was coming to Paris to join his former wife.

"If he has chosen this hotel, it is purely a coincidence," she re- plied.

"It has been incorrectly stated that I intend to remaia in Paris for two months," said Miss Lita Grey, whereas my visit will only last two weeks, after which I intend to retura direct to the United States
