NEW FIRE TRUCK
 PASSES ALL TESTS

Rigid official tests applied to the giant triple combination Seagrayes truck at Riverside park yesterday proved that the latest addition to Phoenix Lighting equipment IS absolutely efficient in every partlcu- lar. The tests were conducted by c. c. Akers, an expert sent hert by the Seagraves company.
 Drawing water from the RlNersioe pool. the tvo-stage centrifugal pumps shot it through single, double, triple and quadrupie hose in the various tests with a force which exceeded all requirements. Water was lifted fvom the pool and started into the hose in six seconds. In the speed demon- stration the truck made dead start with a full load of hose and eight men and within one block had reached a speed of 45 miles an hour.

An old Roman road that ran from London to Manchester has been dis covered in England by worlSmen who were digging manholes near Earn ham. The road was in excellent pre- servation, the surface layer being composed of Hints and foot in thickness. necessitating the use of drills to penetrate it. Engineers say the road was capable of carrying heavier traffic than any modern road.

HooUer to Check Up on
F0reigr, Cancellations
Contracts Repud;ated BY Buyers
abroad After Goods Had
Arrired at Their Destinations

WASHINGTON, March 19. - Atten-
tion Of the Department Of Commerce is
to be given to the problem Of cancel
lation Of contracts for American ex-
ports by foreign buyers, Secretary
Hoover Indicated to-day. So far, the
Secretary said, his connection with the
department has been too brief to per-
nit him to go fully into the question,
which is closely allied with the prob
lem OF bolstering up American exports
for the benefit Of the agricultural and
business interests of the country.
Wholesale cancellations Of contracts
by foreign buyers after goods shipped
from this country had arrived at their
destinations have been reported to the
Department Of Commerce from abroad.
Price declines have been responsible
for the cancellations, officials said, and
In some cases prices have dropped as
much as so per cent on comm modities
between the date Of contract and the
date of delivery.
Adverse exchange conditions have
been cause of cancellation, it was
said, and the situation has not been
confined solely to American goods. but
has been world wide.
The Federal Reserve Board also is
watching developments in the cancella-
tion situation closely. and is under
stood to be collecting reports from
the various foreign commercial CEN
ters. The possible adoption OF new
form Of contract may grow out Of the
situation, Mr.. Hoover suggested.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Former
Secretary Of the Navy Josephus
Daniels, now editor of The Raleigh
IN. CO News and Observer, returned
TO Washington to-day as plain re-
porter and, joining the group Of Wash
ington correspondents at the regular
newspaper conference with Secretary of
the Navy Edwin DENLY, he sought the
news of the day.
The meeting Of the old Navy chief
and the new produced pleasantries, but
no news. Mr.. Daniels later sought the
privilege of visiting the naval library
to seek some navy data which he needs
for series of articles on the navy
during his administration, which he
will soon publish.
Mr.. Daniels paid his respects to his
successor and asked him to convey to
Admiral Wilson and the other officers
of the Atlantic fleet his regards when
Mr.. DENLY visits the feet next week.
When Secretary DENLY addressed his
predecessor as "Mr. Secretary" Daniels
laughingly protested. "That title no
longer belongs to me-" he said "Presi-
dents, Senators and Governors are the
only hereditary nobility and l am now

News and Observer, who believes he
is going to miss that $4,000 year he

The speech was favorably received.
Count Sfcrsa said that he and Signor

Japan Is Firm
On Yap Issue,
Says Uchida
Intends to Hold Mandate
Rights, Despite America
and League, Foreign Min
lister Assures Officials
Fighting U. S. Land Laws
Concerned Over Spread of
Anti Nipponese Feeling,
He Tells Diet Members

TOXIC, March 10 (By The Associ-
sted ress).-Japan will stand firmly
on her mandate over the Island of Yap,
in the South Pacific, viscount Uchida,
the Foreign Minister, declared at a
meeting Of the budget committee Of
the Diet yesterday in reply to a ques-
ton by Representative Etsujiro Uehara.
The latter asked whether the attitude
of Great Britain and the Council of
the League of Nations and that Of the
United States regarding Yap did not
affect Japan's interests, and also
whether Japan intended to insist on
her rights under the Yap mandate.
Representative Uehara said that anti
Japanese agitation in the United States
was spreading to other states besides
California, which, he declared, was
probably due to the fact that the Cali
fornia agitators were communicating
with persons similarly disposed in
other states, thus tanning antl-Jap-
anese feeling. He also charged John
+. Stevens, Of Chicago, head of the
American Railway Mission in Siberia,
with carrying on an antiJapanese
movement. as a result of the clashing
of his views with those Of the Japanese
army in Siberia.
Viscount Uchida replied that he
knew nothing Of the allegations against
Mr.. Stevens, but said the government
was adopting every possible means to
prevent the passage Of laws similar to
those adopted in California.
The Foreign Minister asserted that
the trade agreement between Great
Britain and Soviet Russia was only q
temporary measure. The interests of
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan
in Russia, he declared, all were diff
ferent, and the negotiations of France
and Italy did not seem to progress as
we'll as those Of Great Britain. Hitherto,
M. Uchida said, Japan had kept in touch
with the Soviets, but it might be nee
essary to map out policy conforming
to that Of other countries. He believed
the Moscow and Chita Soviet govern
ments should be treated with sepa
rately.
Ten members Of the House Of Rep
resentatives will visit America this
summer, it was announced.

GENEVA, March 19.-The League Of

ties unless member of the league

Brazil. said in statement to-day.
WThe German note to the League of
Nations on the Allied penalties was
received at league headuarters on
March II and sent to the members Of
the Council, as requested by the Ger
man Foreign Minister, and also, in con-
formity with the leagues practice, to

clafed DR.. da Cunha.
II am not, Of course. prepared to ex-
press any opinion on the substance of
the note itself, but as president Of the
Council for the time being should like
to emphasize that the league itself as
an organization has in this case no
power Of action unless one Of its mem
bers sees fit to take the initiative, as
provided by the covenant. The league
is an association Of states and is not
directly endowed with executive power
except in certain special cases, but
serves rather as common meeting

fectly agreeable to have the United
States rewrte the league covenant in
any way thought desirable here, if
only, after such rewriting were COM
pleted, this country would ratify the
Versailles Treaty.
President Harding personally voted
for all Of the Lodge reservations. only
one of which dealt with Article X. In
addition, he voted for the various d.
rect textual amendments to the treaty.
including that striking out award Of
concessions in Shantung to Japan. His
close friends say that he voted to
ratify the treaty, even with the reser-
vations finally adopted, with consider
able compunction, and that he was far
from unhappy over the situation when
president Wilson forced its defeat.

IT there has been any change in. his
Ideas since that time. his friends de-
clare, 1t has been in the same general
direction as the change in the minds
OF most other Senators during the
treaty tight-growing gradually strong
er and stronger against the whole
thing.
His friends believe that the Presl-
dent will insist on the e~present league
being entirely revamped, with entirely
different guiding principles. For in
stance, he is understood to believe that
the underlying idea of any associa-
tion of nations should be q clearly de-
fined and recoditied set of international
laws.
He alluded to: the .recodification of
international law in his inaugural ad-
dress. The President is also said to
believe that the governing body of the
association Of nations-if such a strong
word as governing" could be used
should be more judicial and less polit-
ical than that proposed in the present
league.
In addition, the President is deter
mind that no matter what sort Of
association Of nations may be formed,
the Monroe Doctrine must be preserved
with undiminished prestige, which
rather complicates, to the foreign view
point, any normal working of an asso-
citation of nations. AS some of the for
eign representatives see it, recognition
OF the Monroe Doctrine gives the
United States an unusually preferred
position. and one which this country is
not willing to grant in any other quar-
ter OF the world to any other nation.
