Hull Tells Japan- (Continued From Page 1) lav Mototov, and also in Tokyo. A Russian statement said the Japanese ambassador had declared shipment by the United States to Vladivostok of goods purchased by the soviet union, such as oil and gasoline, "is creating an extremely delicate and difficult situation for Japan because these goods have to pass in the proximity of Japanese territory." Protest U. S. Shipments TOKYO, Aug. 27- (AP) Domei, quoting what is described as reliable sources, said the Japanese government had made representations recently to both the United States and Soviet Russia against shipments of American aviation fuel to the soviet via Vladivostok.

The government, said the news agency, is taking a serious view of the situation. Reports that both Russian and American ships are transporting not only gasoline but other supplies thru Vladivostok was said to be "greatly irritating Japanese sentiment." The fact that high octane fuel denied Japan was reported "passing under the very noses of the Japanese" was described as especially displeasing. Evening newspapers displayed long stories of the representations, saying the government viewed the situation with the utmost concern, but significantly avoided the term "protest." They used "representation" or "warning." Kokumin said the foreign minister acted because "the imperial government was unable to remain indifferent to aid shipments from the standpoint of preserving peace in East Asia." "Other appropriate measures" were declared by Yomiuri to have been taken, but these steps were not defined. 1940 South Dakota(Continued From Page 1) equip each soldier.

Germans Line Up (Continued From Page 1) own clothes. It takes a week to get a suit pressed by a tailor. Cars Remain in Garages Fewer civilian cars are running than at any time since national socialism came into power. When the war broke out, about 60 percent of the private cars were tioned, and only 15 percent of the remaining owners were awarded the red police check mark on their number plates which allowed them to continue running their cars. Of this group, probably half have lost their driving privileges since then.

Those still permitted to use their cars must use gasoline most sparingly. When the war began I was allowed 200 liters a month (a liter is a little less than a quart) for my American eight- car. After a year this was reduced to 150 liters; after a year and a half to 90. Since August 1 I'm down to 60, which isn't enough to take me to the office, out on routine calls and back home. The time is long past when my family had the use of the car! Clatter of Wooden Feet It goes without saying that street cars, busses and subways are overcrowded, but as a whole the commuters are a well disciplined lot.

Walk along any street one of these summer days, and the only thing which differs from the prewar scene is the clatter of wooden soles. Otherwise, women seem as well dressed as in peacetime and men's clothes seem up to standard. Look closely, however, and you'll find ersatz cloth is obviously not so good as real silk, real cotton or real wool. Leather shoes are almost unknown except for the fighting forces. Decisive from the viewpoint of war morale, however, is the fact that there are clothing and shoes of some sort for everybody.

The German people are no different from others in yearning for peace, but they're equally convinced they must keep on fighting -with victory or national destruction the only two possible outcomes.

PLUMA LOSES TOURNEY GAME ON A FORFEIT ABERDEEN, Aug. 27-(P)-Wagner opened yesterday's session of the state amateur state baseball tournament beating Veblen 8 to 0. The second engagement was a 7 to 2 decision by Pluma over Ipswich but the contest was awarded to Ipswich when it was discovered in a post mortem that Pluma had an ineligible pinch hitter in the ninth inning. In that frame it was a 2 to 2 tie with Pluma pounding out five runs in the disputed inning after Ipswich had rallied to tie the score in the eighth. Winner won from Huron 2 to 1 and Beresford edged out Bradley 8 to 2.

Biggest thrill of the day was the Pluma-Ipswich affair which had the strangest anti-climax in the history of the tournament. Never before has a contest been declared forfeited in tournament play. It all happened in the first of the ninth with the score 2 to 2 and one away when a Pluma hitter, "Kramer," batted for Pluma. He drew a walk, stole second, went to third on an overthrow, and counted the winning run on an infield out. After that Pluma sluggers collected four successive doubles and a single to turn the game into a rout.

Ipswich's Manager Bruse then asked Umpire Tommy Collins to ascertain the identity of "Kramer," listed as utility outfielder for ma. An investigation by state association officials revealed that "Kramer" was Elmer Mackey, listed on the squad roster as a Spearfish catcher. He was eligible to play in the tournament only as a catcher and could not be used as a batter until he had appeared on defense. REPORT SHOWS DAYS OF "76 AS A BIG SUCCESS C. G.

The anticipated 1942 budget is approximately $60,000. South Dakota, he added, was the seventh state in the union in percentage of gasoline tax increase in 1940 over 1939. Gasoline tax receipts for June this year exceeded those of the same month in 1940 by 000, a 11.6 per cent gain. July receipts showed a 24.5 per cent gain over the same month a year ago. He said a compilation of clippings showed that more than 4,000 column inches of free newspaper publicity was received as a result of the association's 1940 party for travel bureau representatives and newspaper travel writers, and that this year's publicity from that source was expected to top that figure.

Much Literature Issued Pieces of travel literature issued in 1940 totaled 250,000, Hanson said, and during his three months in office this year more than 40,000 pieces have been sent out. Checks by national forest service officials and employes of the South Dakota park board showed Illinois cars in the Black Hills this season topped those of the next highest state, Minnesota, by a two to one margin. Next in order are Iowa, California, Nebraska, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Ohio. Except for California, he explained, "these are the states where the advertising and publicity program has been concentrated." The Black Hills, he said, will be represented at four travel shows next year instead of two as heretofore. Referring again to tourist accommodations in the Black Hills, Hanson said "travelers want to travel in comfort and they are looking for modern conveniences.

I believe we soon must improve our accommodations to meet the expanded demand from the traveling public." W. G. Edwards was chairman of the program. Guests were C. G.

Beckwith, of Vermillion and Lester Beals, of Omaha. Lead Kiwanians Enjoy Showing Of Films Of Hawaii The Lead Kiwanis club enjoyed the travel pictures shown them on Monday evening by Guy N. Bjorge, depicting the highlights of the trip taken by the Bjorge family to Hawaii last May. From San Francisco harbor, on board ship, and around the three islands which they visited, numerous scenes of interest were captured by the colored motion picture film. The foliage and scenes on the island of Ohau, on which is located the city of Honolulu and Waikiki beach, made colorful scenes.

A visit to sugar cane plantations and to pineapple fields showed part of the industry of the islands. From Ohau, an airplane trip was made to Maui island where the largest extinct volcano is located. The mouth of the volcano is nearly one third of the distance across the island. The pictures showed clouds floating inside the crater, the altitude being over 10,000 feet. In spite of the clouds, the size and ruggedness of the interior of the crater was clearly visible.

The island of Hawaii was also visited, with trips to some of its volcanic craters. The active volcano of Kilauea was also photographed. Pictures taken from the airplane gave an idea of the arrangement of fields and landscape. The various types of tropical vegetation in all its color and density made the travel pictures interesting throughout. Mr.

Bjorge gave helpful explanations of the various scenes as the pictures were shown. The playing of phonograph records made by the Hawaiian dancer known as "Hilo Hattie," while pictures of her dancing was shown, added a touch of reality to the scenes.
