Mediation Urged
In Shantung Row
Balfour and Hughes Suggest
Other Nations Take Part in
Far East Discussion

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-(By The
Associated Press s)-Mediatio by Sec
retary Hughes and Arthur j. Balfour
was suggested today as the only feas-
ible way of settling the Shantung
question, which has entered the stage
of deadlock through the intimation of
Japanese representatives that Japan
has gone as far as she can in the way
of concessions.
The direct conversations between
the Chinese and Japanese delegates
were broken off because efforts to
agree on the manner of restoration of
the Shantung railway had proved fu-
tile. Apparently, neither party sees
its way clear to ask for a resumption
of the suspended conversations while
both are putting forth the strength of
public opinions in their home-lands as
legitimate justification for the impos-
sibility of further compromise.

Physicians Differ
Regarding Use of
Booze as Medicine

CHICAGO. Dec. 29.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press).-A large majority Of
physicians from six states, replying
to an alcoholic QUESTIONABLE, sent
out by the Journal of the American
Medical Association, asserted they did
not regard whisky, beer and wine as
necessary therapeutic agents in the
practice of medicine while nearly
two-thirds of them said they believed
there should be restrictions in pre-
scribing whisky, beer and wine.
About three-fourths of the replies
asserted there were no instances in
the practice of the physicians where
suffering or death had resulted from
the enforcement of the prohibition
laws.
On the question OF beer, 1,4O4 doc
tors in the eight states replied they
believed it had medicinal value and
3,S38 said they did not believe il nee
essary as a therapeutic agent.
Wine as a therapeutic agent was
supported by 1892 doctors in the
eight states, and opposed by 1924
One thousand and eighty doctors
reported they could cite instances in
their own practice where unnecessary
suffering or death had resulted from
enforcement Of prohibition laws and
1928 physicians reported they had
experienced no such instances.

|MUSTER|NG OUT
RANGERS FTER
DUTY IN STRIKE
Martial Law in Colorado Will
Be Declared Off During
Early Part January

WALSENBURG, Colo, Dec. %
Military officials today began muster
ing out the Colorado Rangers on duty
here since the strike of coal miners
in the southern fields began. Troop
c members were mustered out this
afternoon. 1t was said at military
headquarters that practically all of
the rangers would be mustered out
by January 5, when it is expected mar
tial law will be declared off.
Colonel Patrick Hamrock, in COM
mand, today issued permits to coal
miners local unions under which they
may meet to discuss calling off the
strike begun November II in protest
against 80 per cent cut in wages in
stalled by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company.
According to military Officials, re-
quests for permits to meet came from
union officials. 1t was also said at
military headquarters: that mastering
out of the rangers was due to the
fact that ''the strike has collapsed"
Mike Livoda, acting president of
h)lSlTlCI 10, OulleQ Mluc w OTheTS Vi
America, declared this afternoon the
strike had not collapsed.
General conditions are about the
same as a week ago." Livoda said
The strike is continuing and will
continue as far as officials of the
union are concerned. 1t has not col
lapsed. Conditions in the field have
changed since the strike began. There
are 10000 men out of work"
Livoda said the meetings of local
unions were called so union officials
might go before the miners and tell
them the exact conditions that pre-
vail.
He confirmed reports that at a
meeting yesterday he had advised the
miners that the strikers could expect
no further financial support from the
international union at this time. Ii
voda denied that the union contem-
plated the making of any new con-
tracts until the present contracts ex-
pire next April.

British and Japs Want Diff

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The
arms conference subcommittee on
aircraft today decided to abandon
any effort to limit the airplane
strength of the powers and to recon-
mend instead that an attempt be
made to agree on restrictions that
would make air warfare conform with
considerations of humanity.
Even such regulations, however,
were said to be considered by SUBJ
committee members as difficult of
formulation.
All the other naval and Far East

remained at a standstill today except
for an intimatiop from the Japanese
that only mediation by the United
States and Great Britain could save
the Shantung negotiations from dead.
lock. 1t was declared both for the
Japanese and Chinese that their gov
ernments had gone as far as possible
towards a compromise, and hope of
settlement was seen only in the pos
sibility that some new element could
be injected into the conversations.
Details At Standstili
There were indications that the
naval experts of the various powers
were far from an agreement on the
proposal that airplane carriers be linn
tied, and all the foreign delegations
were waiting on further instructions
as to the American proposal to es-
tabliSh 10000 tons as the maximum
size for any auxiliary warship. There
also was halt on remaining details
of the capital ship agreement itself,
a proposed meeting Of experts to
work out a replacement chart being
postponed until later in the week.
So far as the capital ship question
is concerned, all delegations appear
to regard it as good as settled, al
though no draft of a treaty embody-
ing the agreement has been prepared.
France has accepted, subject to
reservation she has not yet fully ex-
planned, so considerable discussions
may take place before even that part
