ENTENTE POWERS SEEK
ALLIANCE WITH CHINA
Reported to Have Made Diplomatic
Move to Secure Her Aid as
Nonbelligerent.

Confidential information has been
received by officials of the State De-
partment that Great Britain, France
and Russia have made a diplomatic
move to secure China as a non-bel-
ligerent member of their alliance. 1t
was made clear, however. that so deli
cate is such n matter that officials OF
this government cannot discuss IL in
any way. They refused either to de-
ny or affirm reports that they were
aware of the allies latest diplomatic
move.
The reports received here say China
is wanted as a member of the entente
so that all danger of Japanese
Chinese war will be prevented. 1t is
declared no thought is held of China
taking part in the present war.
In connection with this move of
the allies II is recalled here that at
the beginning of the war the United
States sought to "neutraliZe" China.
The then Secretary of state Bryan is
said to have made informal repre-
sentations to the seven big powers of
that they pledge not to make
war on Chinese territory, The inter-
est of this government was said to
be caused by its paternal feeling to-
ward China, as a young republic.

the lecturer said, but by the time battle

forth in Poland the people In neutral
lands had become hardened to accounts
of miseries. and consequently not SO
much was heard OF Poland's plight.
Some parts OF Poland. he said, had been
fought over seven times, while a great
part Of its area was fought over three
times.
He told how the war relief commission
endeavored to bring aid to the civilian
population Of Poland. which at one time
was entirely without a supply of bread
stuffs. The commission, he said. OBJ
tanned an agreement from the Austrian
and German governments to furnish II
with the necessary funds for the pur-
chase of grains for the Poles The CEN
trail powers agreed to give the commits
sion $4,000 a month for the purchase
OF grains for the starving people of Po-

members OF the commission went vainly
up and down Europe looking for a neu-

to them. After failing to get the wheat
from Roumania, Bulgaria, Sweden. Dem
mark and Holland. they were promised
wheat by the Russians, only to find that
Il would be impossible to transport this
wheat TO its destination.

FACTION SPLIT FEARED

A spit in the Story faction of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
may result from the resignation OF Miss
Natalie Sumner Lincoln. fiction writer
OF this city. as editor Of the d. A r.
Magazine.
Miss Lincoln submitted her resignation
Wednesday after the national board Of
management. at a lively meeting in this
city. refused to approve changes in the
policy OF the magazine which she urged.
Mrs. William Cumming Story, president
general. notified Miss Lincoln yesterday
that her resignation had been accepted,
and that Miss Mary r. Wilcox, of this
city. would succeed her temporarily.
1t was learned that friends OF Miss Lin
coin in the society are Every much put
OUT at the result Of the board meeting,
which is said to have been a lively one.
It was said they are prepared to defend
her should any criticism be made of her
action.
Wanted Work Done Here.
1t is understood that Miss Lincoln ad-
vocated widening the scope Of the maya
zine from a<mere official organ to an his
torical magazine that would gain ma
tionnl prominence. Friends of Miss Lin
CON say that her literary ability prompt
ed her to raise the standard OF the pub
LEGATION.
Miss Lincoln also Is believed to have
advocated centralizing the work of the
magazine at Washington. lit is now
printed and published in New York.
Those familiar with her methods of work
say she held the belief that the publica-
tion could be directed more effectively
here, where practically all of the national
work of the organization is handled
Miss Lincoln was elected on the Story
ticket at the last Congress in April.
She did not take Office. however. until
July. She is the daughter of the late
DIR. Nathan S. and JEANNE Gould

pOrarily. resides at 1850 Corcoran street

ABOLISH ANNUAL
WARSHIPO OVERHAUL
NAVY Officials Decide Greater
Efficiency Will Result from
Only Two Weeks Repair.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The practice
of sending warships to drydock
for three months each year has been
abolished by the Navy Department for
reasons Of economy and efficiency. In
stead of a thorough annual overhaul,
the navy vessels will be allowed a
docking period Of two weeks each year
for minor repairs and will be sent to
the yards for overhaul only when
recommended by the Board of Inspec-
ton and Survey. In commenting on
this change to-day Secretary Daniels
said:
ANY serious or prolonged Interrupt
ton 10 a well balanced schedule Of
employment OF both men and officers
cannot but be harmful to progress to-
ward efficiency and usually it results
in the hating of proper effort and in
retrogression. When a ship was sent
to its home yard annually for over
haul, officers and c:ew we're given ex-
tensive leave and Of necessity all
drills and exercises had to be either
wholly suspended or imperfectly
carried out. The consequence was
that on completion Il me repairs, the
ships crew. instead of resuming ae-
tive service in a state of trained eff
cheney comparable to what they
possessed or entering the overhaul
period, suffered in discipline, in
morale and in ship spirit and required
several months Of active drill and ex-
ercises before they could be restored
to their former state OF readiness for
war. In other words, over period OF
approximately six months little or no
progress in efficiency had been made.
"A further consideration very neces-
sary TO be taken into account is the
maintaining at all repair yards Of the
