Confederate Leader Dies in Columbia Kbin Nelmus Yarbrough, stale. commamler, South Carolina division. United Confederate Veterans, died yesterday morning ut the Confederate Home here. His death, due to a heart attack. was unite a shock to his many friends, ho having been lh his usual good health previous to the attack General Yarbrough was born in Anson county, North Carolina, February 22 1843. When In* was one year old, his father moved to Lynch wood (now Hethune) South Carolina. On May 22. 1S6I lie enlisted in Con: pauy F, South Carolina battalion C. S. A. He was mastered into service on November 14, 1861, at the old Cornwallls house In Camden, and was In battles and skirmishes from time to time up to the close of the war. On May 16, 1864, during the 11*1 tie of Drewry's Mull near Richmond, he was struck by a ball which torn a hole In his right side and shattered a bone 1 in his right, arm, and while confined in a Richmond hospital for several weeks his company, which had 126 men when entering the battle, was reduced to 40 men. On May 2, 1922 lie was admitted to the Confederate home, in Columbia, where he resided up to his death. He was elected state commander, South Carolina division, I'. C. V., September 6, 1034, to which office he has been re-elected constantly?serv> lug six yours and 17 days, until answering his last roll cull. ? In 1935-1936 General Yarbrough served as commander of both South Carolina division and the Army of Northern Virginia department, his election to these two important offices in one and the same year having been a very unusual honor. In 1936, he. as typifying "The Confederate soldier," living and dead, was awarded the American Legion's "distinguished public service plaque." He, having no heirs, placed this plaque in the World War Memorial building of Columbia "to forever be preserved as an emblem of courage, patriotism and loyalty." In 1937 he was elected honorary general of the Spanish American War Veterans. In 1866 General Yarbrough married Mary Blackwell of Bethune, and in 1907, after the death of his first wife In 1903 he married Julia Wingfleld of Okolona, Arkansas. He was a member of College Place Methodist church which he attended when he could. W. J. Snelgrose of Gilbert, commander, First Brigade, expressed profound regret last night at General Yarbrough's death. He said that General Yarbrough was one of'' the most beloved of all the state commanders in the division. "He got odr pensions increased in 1935 and saved out of the state appropriation of 1937 and 1938 sufficient to send each veteran in the state $10 in each of these years. He also personally visited almost evory veteran In the state during his commandership. "In many respects (general Yarbrough was our most prominent state commander, he having held the positions of commander, Army Northern Virginia department, and state commander. South Carolina dlvlsoin, In one and the same year. He was unanimously elected honorary general of the Spanish War veterans of South Carolina in 1936 and was awarded, as representing "The Confederate Soldier." the American Legion's Distinguished Public Service Plaque, later In 1936. "That he died in harness is most appropriate as he was never more beloved than today. Deeply will the remnant of South Carolina's living Confederate Veterans mourn hiB J death." General Yarbrough is survived by a nephew, D. T. Yarbrough of Bethune, a number of grandnleces and grandnephews and great-grand-nieces and great-grandnephewe. Funeral services will be conducted at 4 o'clock this afternoon from the Bethune Presbyterian church by the Rev. F. R. Morse, pastor, assisted by the Rev. P. B.

Within the past several month Japan forced the British Empire t< give up practically all its concessloi in China, and during the past tev days Franco has t>oon forced to clos< all avenues in French indo-China ovoi which ntatcrial can bo shipped to tin Chinese forces. Fnder the agroomcn Japan is given the right to ostublisl inspectors at strategic points to set that its demands arc carried out. While Japan stands to gain mud by cut dug off the supplies to Chiuiii Kai-sheks' forces, experts who havt watched tho gl'owtlt of Japanese lm periallsm hold that the purpose is u establish military bases !u IndoChlns from which to attack the Dutch Kasi Indies and later take 81aiu, whlel bounds Indo-China on the east, Fur therpvoro, they point to the Phillip pino Islands, which are in easy stiik ing distance, tho nearest one bolus less than BOO tniles from Indo-China and Manila only 800 miles; also Aus tralia and New Zealand, The fnto ol these areas, including China. Europe Africa, North and South America, de ponds upon tho success or failure ol tho British Empire in its death strug gle with the European dictators. The fall of the British Empirt means the spread of Japan's Imperial ism in the Ear East with the Nippon flag over most of Eastern Asia. The imperialistic policy of Japar began in 1914, with the seizure ol Gorman holdings in Shantung, China and in tho Pacific during the Aral World War. It then exaended its in fluence to Mongolia and Manchuria and, while Russia was exhausted and in the throes of a revolution, under took to dominate a large part of Eyst ern Siberia by taking over traiftporta tion facilities, industries and national resources in those areas. This wat effected in 1918, during the last dayf of the Kerensky government, aftei propaganda had been spread among all the allied nations proposing inter vention in Siberia to save it fronc Germany. Among the leading Alliei who agreed to accept the proposal that Japan intervene were the French and British Governments. The Unit ed States, however, refused to accept World War. It then extended its in Siberia and later agreed to a Joint in tervention by which Japan and the United States were each to send 7,00C troops into Eastern Siberia along with other Allies who cared to Join in that action. Japan violated Its agreement with the United States and by September 1, 1918, had a force of over 72,00(Btkoop8 dominating every strategic point in Eastern Siberia, regardless of the wishes of the commanders of the other Allied troops. Formal protests ol these conrmanders failing, U. S. Secretary of State I^ansing, on November 2, 1918, informed Viscount Ishli Japnn's Ambassador to the United States, that the Japanese General Staft hail exceeded all sense of proprietj in its relation with the general staffs and in tho purpose of intervention.

Japan recalled over 50,000 troops almost Immediately, ' and by October 22nd, following the ' 1921-1922 Washington conference, all the Japanese troops had been withdrawn from Siberia. The Japanese, like the Germans, have taken no military steps until 1 they felt sure of success. Like the 1 Germans, they proceed against countries when theBe are weak and cannot '* resist. ThiB is seen In their action against Germany, in 1914; Russia, in 1 1918; Great Brltlan, In 1939-40, and 1 now against France and ludo-China, during the past few days. Like 1 France and England, who sold essential war materials to Gremany right ' up to the outbreak of the present war, the United States continues to sell such material to its greatest commer' cial competitor in the Orient, If not Its potential war enemy. Dependent upon the Dutcb East ' Indies for much war material, Including 84 per cent of our crude rubber 1 and 64 per cent of our tin, the fall of ' Great Britian will place us' at the tnercy of Japanese Imperialism for these essential materials and the ^ maintenance of our other commerce , in the Far East. To save ourselves we should cease supplying Japan with wai' materials and do all we can to help Great Prlt' lan.
