One statement reads: The vital statistics
show that diseases Of the heart and circula-
tion are rapidly increasing In this country in
which the per capita consumption Cof to-

while in the Cnited Kingdom where these

is understood, has not yet asked the
consortium for a loan. although IL
has been potentially operative al
most for a month.
The truth of the situation is that
the Chinese people have two minds
on the consortium. Fifty per cent
are said to favor it, and so per cent
to oppose it
The allegation that all the Chinese
opposition comes from the japanese
clique at Pekin, or Is stirred by 1t.
Is characterized as false. There un-
doubtedly is a widespread fear in
China that the consortium. notwith-
standing Americas membership, may,
follow the muddy trail left by the
old one.
China promises to make no hasty
step which she might repent at
leisure. Like Missouri. she is wait
ing ''to be shown" that the pro-
posed loans will in no way impair
her own sovereignty.
A meeting of representatives OF
the Big Four-England. France,
Japan. and the United States-has
been called at New York for the
coming September. Meanwhile, in
dications are that both italy and
Belgium will continue to clamor for
membership.
Awaiting Engiand's Answer.
Some days ago China protested to
London against the Anglo-Japanese
test followed official announcement
that the agreement in its present
form would shortly be renewed.
Many Chinese regard the alliance
as an offensive and defensive agree
ment, now aimed fundamentally at
China and the United States. There
are clauses in the existing treaty,
which are widely interpreted as af-
fecting Chinese independence.
As far as can be learned, China's
protest has. up to this time, been
essentially ineffective. In fact, indi-
cations are that Japan and England
have every intention of renewing
their concordat substantially in it's
present form.
however, reports Indt England
was directly or indirectly pressing
China to accept Japan's Shantung
proposals are characterized as
false. Absolute denial of such a
charge has come to me from re-
liable sources.
China now has a third govern
mental division. the Central East be-
ing added to the North and South.
The Cantonese government, not
officially recognized by the United
States, has split into two govern
ments.
One of these remains at Canton
but the other hostilely transferred
itself to Shanghai. Besides the Of
fetal Pekin government these
outlaw" factions are functioning
or trying to function.
The new Shanghai group, in
which Tang Shao Bi is a moving
spirit. opposes the militarists of
Canton as well as all military
cliques at Pekin- Although the
three governments make for a deal

than before.
How large a section of the coun-
try has gone over to Shanghai is

OILSHORYAGE
RELIEF SOUGHT
Secretary Alexander Urges
Meeting Of Re6ners,
Embargo Urged.

A conference of leading refiners
and the principal industries that
use fuel oil was urged yesterday by
Secretary of Commerce Alexander
in, letter TO Senator James D.
Phelan. of California. Secretary
Alexander declared some plan must
be found to insure a supply of oil.
Senator Phelan replied that the
fuel oil situation in California is
acute. Oil companies. he asserted,
are rationing gasoline despite the
fact that oil is being exported. Sen
ator Phelan suggested an embargo
on oil until peace is officially de-
clared.
The United States District Attor-
ney at San Francisco has been di-
rected by Attorney General Palmer
to investigate charges that Califor-
ria companies are rationing oil
while they export large quantities
Senator Phelan's bill to organize
the United States Oil Corporation to
develop oil resources in foreign
countries, has been approved by the
Interior Department and will be
pushed at the December session.
Secretary Alexander opposes an en-
barge except as a last resort.

Princess Hears
Lovers Death Shot
Y Over Telephone

p, Paris, June 19-The dead Princes ss
Francesca Respiglisi, seated on her
bed in a room at the Ritz, telephone
in hand. at 3 o'clock on the morn
ing of May 26 heard the shot with
which her despairing, rejected
lover, Alfredo Allegretti, an Italian
aviator, ended his life in room
at an adjoining hotel.
This revelation was made today
by Pierre, night porter at the Ritz,
In the course OF the investigation
into the death of the princess a
week later.
II was doing over the switch
board" said Pierre, when sud-
denly there was a call. An excited
mans voice demanded to speak to
the princess on AN extremely
urgent matter
!. "Cor-.uced that IL was an impor-
tame Nn 1 rang the princess who
was asleep in her room on the third
floor. Listening in a few moments
to be sure that communication was
established 1 heard the man say:
This is Alfredo. / just called to
tell you I'm going to shoot myself
The princess let out a piercing
cry. then said:
'Stop-don't be a fool%"
The only answer was a shot,
which was plainly heard over the
wire.
The princess hurried to the Hotel
Durhin, with only a cloak hastily
thrown over her night dress. She
found the aviator dead on the floor,
one hand still clutching the tele-
phone.
The doctors who attended the
princess were in complete ignorance
of these circumstances. They ex-
pressed the belief today that the
affair resulted in a nervous break
down that caused her death.

Improper Treatment Leads to a
Serious Stage.

Because you have doubtless been
fairly comfortable through the
mild summer months, and free
from the soreness and irritation OF
the membranes, do not make the
mistake of thinking that you are
rid of your Catarrh. For if you
suffered with this disease last win
ter. it will again be with you in all
its severity unless you have elm
mated entirely from the blood the
germs which cause the disease.
Are you going to further temper
ize with a disease that leads to
such a serious condition? Don't
YOU know that you can use gallons
upon gallons Of local treatment
without the slightest permanent
benefit? Just give the matter a hit
tie careful thought, and you viii
realize that it is but a waste OF
time and money, besides seriously
jeopardizing your health, to con-
tinue a method of treatment that
has proven of so little value IN
making any real progress toward
genuine benefit.
First of all find out just what
causes your Catarrh. If it was
merely a local irritation and in
fammation of the delicate Innings
of the nose, throat and air pas
ssges. then you might reasonably
