HOPES TO INCREASE WORK
AT FEDERAL NAVY YARDS
Secretary Daniels Would Keep Me-
chanics in Continuous EN-
ployment.

In, order to maintain government
navy yards at their highest efficiency
through continuous employment Of the
various mechanics. Secretary Daniels
is devising a plan by which he hopes
to induce all the executive branches Of
the government to send to the yards
all repair work to be done on all types
of floating craft owned by the govern
ment. When fully developed Mr..
Daniels plan also may include the con-
struction of all government craft at
government yards.
Mr.. Daniels points out that uninter-
ruped employment for navy yard work
ers is one of the essentials to the
efficient operation of naval stations
as auxiliaries to the fleet, while fail
ure to give continuous employment to
a limited number of skilled mechanics
may seriously impair their usefulness
in time of emergency. His plan would
send to government yards all the re-
pair and construction work on revenue
cutters, transports, lightships. tugs
snagboats, barges and other craft used
by the different executive departments
The number of such craft in use will
be largely Increased when the Panama
canal is opened
It is pointed out that assignment. OF
all work on government craft to gov
eminent yards not only would de-
crease the cost. but would increase
military efficiency for emergency con-
ditions.

TO BACK DEMAND
Japan Requires Satisfaction of
China for Attack on Sub
jects in Marking.

LONDON. September "a dispatch to
news agency from Shanghai says the
Japanese minister has presented China
with an ultimatum which gives China
three days to comply with Japans de-
mands for satisfaction for the recent at
tacks on Japanese in Marking.

China will find it impossible to concede
Japan's demands. The nature OF the &C
ton contemplated by Japan in case her
demands are not fulfilled has not been
disclosed.
Time Expires Today.
The three days allowed to China by
Japan in her ultimatum demanding
satisfaction for the recent attacks
on Japanese in Marking expired today.
According to a dispatch from Shanghai,
Gen. Chang-Hsun, commander of the
Chinese forces, had not apologized up
to noon, but it was generally expected
that he would do so at the latest pos
sible moment.
A dispatch to the Times from Peking
confirms the report that the Japanese
government sent an ultimatum to China.

"Ten japanese warships." the dispatch
adds, crowded with marines. are await
ing the issue on the Yangtse river.
Gen. Chang-Hsun is credited with a
willingness to apologize. but the demand
that he parade his regiment before the
Japanese consulate will be difficult of
attainment. The ultimatum is regarded
with misgivings in Shanghai where it
is said numbers Of rebels are hanging

will be used in payment Of his debts.
D. A. Clithero, Lees friend and legal
counsel. admitted that his late client had
negro blood in his veins, and said he con-
cealed the fact as 1t would hurt the sale
Of his books In certain sections of the

humed. She thinks that Lee was her
husband who deserted her twenty years

Ethiopian strain in his blood.
