Japanese bugles in China are not so loud as Japan's bugle diplomat, Yosuke Matsuoka. After he stalked out of the League of Nations' conference on Manchuria last February, he sounded off for Japan through France, Britain and the U. S.

He had yielded not an inch on Japan's claims. Last week Matsuoka arrived in Tokyo...

The plane started down the runway, gathered speed, soared into the air, its propeller beating a loud tattoo but without any noise of engine exhaust. After circling the airport at 1,000 ft. for about 15 minutes the plane glided to a landing and out jumped the two young men, grinning broadly. Thus unpretentiously, aeronautic history was made. For the first time, a steam-powered airplane had flown...
