CHINA Will NOT
HAVE A SENATE

Peking, March 2S.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-Parliament
sitting at constitutional conference
has rejected the section of the proposed
new constitution providing for two
houses of parliament, and it now seems
likely that one-house system may be
adopted by China.
DR.. w. +. Willoughby. the American
constitutional adviser of the Chinese
government, has urged for many
months that the bi-cameral system is
not well adapted to China's needs, and
the recent action of parliament was
prompted by the advice Of DR.. Will
oughby and number of other experts
on government who have been in con-
ference with political leaders.
Under the present system in China
based on the Marking provisional con-
stitution, both the house and senate
are elected directly by the people. The
two bodies have an aggregate of nearly
one thousand members, and have
proved themselves very unwieldy.
Many newspapers and reform lead
ers are urging that parliament be linn
tied to one body Of not more than three
hundred members.

ENGLAND HAS
new SCHEME
FOR LINERS

London, March 29.--Measures are
Contemplated by the controller of ship
ping for dealing with the systematic
employment of liners in various trades,
says the Times. The plan which will
commence with vessels employed In the
Australian and New Zealand trades,
provides that all vessels would be
requisitioned at blue book rates. Own
ers would carry on their business as
before. All profits above those allowed
by blue book rates would go to the
government. All competitions would be
eliminated and the plan would extend
to other trades as soon as possible.
This proposal Is said to meet with
approval OF shipoWners.
The chamber Of shipping. however.
has adopted a resolution presented by
Lord Inchcape, asserting that any pro-
posals for state ownership Of the mer-
camille marine are contrary to the ma
tional interest. and that IL Is only un-
der the free play Of individual enter
prise that British shipping can main
tain It's eunrivaled position.

Third, that we have not the ex-

Fortunately these treaties compel
US to employ the plan with Great

Syrian boundary.

British operations in Palestine are
indicated by today's reports to be pro-
crossing successfully on a large scale,
with the British forces closing in
steadily on Jerusalem.
On March Z, a British column was
reported within forty miles of Jeru.
salem at Ell Chalil, or Hebron, about
thirty Ave miles inland. This column
has evidently been supported by q
stronger army advancing up the Med
iterranean coast, where 1t can be mu-
nitioned and supplied by water. The
coast army, moving northward from
Rata, has pushed up the Mediterran-
can shore to within five miles Of GAIA,
the historic town OF bible times. GAIA
is almost directly west OF Ell Chalil,
bringing the British front up to q
straight line apparently across near
~ the entire breadth OF Palestine be-
tween the Mediterranean and the Dead
sea. Forty miles north Of GAIA is
Jaffa, the port of Jerusalem, whence
q railway line runs to the capital.
Reports show the army now near
GAIA, to be engaged in constructing a
railway apparently to facilitate its ad-
vance or it's operations further in the
interior of Palestine.
