U. s. Military Force Will Rank 17th in
 Number of Enlisted

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The in- tention of house and senate conferees on the army appropriation bill to fix the enlisted strength of the army at an average of 125, 1000 men during the next fiscal year will mean that for that year the United States will stand seventeenth in the strength of its reg ular army among the powers of the world instead of tenth, as at rresent. Statistics obtained at the war depart ment today show that 16 nations main tain more than 125,O00 men in their peac-time standing armies.
 The reduction from the average of 15O.O00 for the current year will make relatively small difference in the com parative standing of the United States when all organized military forces, in cluding such troops as the national guard and the organized reserve are considered. The United States, taking in such forces now stands 25th in the list, only Austria China and Brazil haT ing smaller military establishment: active and inactive, in proportion tC the population of each country.

OUSTED FORCES TRY ID REGAIN
 LOST CONTROL
Indiscriminate Firing Upon Canton Causes Thousands
 to Flee Capital
ATTACK IS REFUSED
Chinese Press Is Forecastine Early Reunion of China
 Under One Government

PEKTNG, June 19.--(By the Asso- oiated Press) at Canton were forced to flee for safety from the indiscriminate firing of Sun Vat Sens gunboats Sunday. according to a Canton dispatch 60 foreign legations here. Two thousand persons, including many foreigners, boarded a vessel when hostilities opened, and went to Hong Kong.
 The telegram from the Manchurian assemblies stated that while Manchur- ia enjoys self government, it never tlleless was willing to join in the pro- gram of unification.
 Advices from Canton, made public by the Picking government, declared that Sun Vat Sen, former president of South Chinafi although still uncon- vinced of his defeat, had been entirely eliminated from the field of Chinese politics, and that General Chen Chiung Ming, ardent proponent of the unifi- cation movement, was in complete con trol of the former South China capi- tai.
 The Canton dispatches said that Suns gilnboats had opened fire on the city in a desperate effort to retrieve their commanders lost control. but that the attack had been repulsed.
 It is understood here that President Iii Yuan Hung, before accepting the presidency, had. received the pledge of General Chen Chung Ming tbat the latter would help to abolish the Can ton government, and that Chen's coup of lastl week was carried out in fur therance of this promise.
 In this agreement between Ii and Chen, to which General Wu Pei Flu, conqueror of Chang Tso Lin. was a party, the following stipulations are said to have been made contingent on the fall of Sun Vat Sen:
 Firstl that the old republican par liament be recognized as the national legislative body with unlimited power to elect president of the republic.
 Second, that if the parliament elects as president any other than Li Yuan Hung, present chief executive, its choice shall be undisputed, Ii with drawing without protest;
 Third, that all the provinces oi China shall enjoy automy with rights similar to those of the states in the American union.
 Fourth, that all armies shall be re duced to the minimum needs of na tional defense.
 It is expected parliament will be able to muster a, quorum for meet ing August l. All Canton members have been urged by Chen Chung Ming to proceed 1o Picking for the recon vening of the old republican parlia ment.
 Several of the provinces have al ready signified their willingness to dis band their separate armies. The tuchun, or military governor of Shans has asked other provincial comman ders to join him in his stand that Chi na needs only one sixth of her pres ent standing army. The tuchun O Che Kiang has gone a step further ana has declared his willingness to resign

OMAHA BANDIT RELATES TALE
 IF EXPLOITS
Man, Now in Hospital, Who Kidnapped Women, Said to
 Be on Way to Recovery

RAWL1NS, Wyo., June f9. = Fred Brown, Omaha "chain bandit" and kidnaper, shot and captured by Wy oming officers, and now on the road to recovery in the Wyoming prison hospital here, today told the story of the prepetuation of the minor crimes of which he is accused, and traced his spectacular flight from Omaha to the place where he was captured, 50 miles north of Medicine Bow, Wyo.
 His verbatim statement, as made to a newspaper man, follows;
 "This all began in Omaha soon af- ter had visited a resort at The Gar dens, where I met a woman who ac- companied me to my home, where she visited me many times in the next four months. Once, she took me to visit her sister, and another time brought a lady friend to my house, where both proceeded to make them selves at home.
 T was digging cess pool, and up. on returning to the house quietly, saw that they had been snooping around and found kettle of jewelry that had hidden! I heard them say that must be thief with all that jewelry and threatened to tell the police There was only one thing for me to do-chain them up until I could dis pose of the jewelry to fence and make a getaway.
 "I did this, but one of the women ! succeeded in attracting the attention of man going past. This fool butted in and had to stick him up and treat him as did the women. Later I saw he had broken loose and when heard the officers at the front door, beat it for the weeds.
 1.-TWO boys came along and saw me but they showed their wisdom by walking straight ahead and not peep i ing. While hidden in the weeds, g motorcycle cop armed with a riot gun passed within two feet of me. He saw me. and also that I had .45 pointed at his heart. 1 put my fingers to my | lips and motioned to him to go ahead He is one smart cop in Omaha.
 When it got dark, stole car ana went to Lincoln, where 1 was well ac quainted. Thought I was safe there but woman who knew me, named Violet Dingman, 'bawled me out tC the officers and said was wanted. crowd gathered, so I dodged into { house and stuck up a man named Ry an. He was a sensible guy and made no trouble. told him to keep abso lutely still as it was either him or me
 "The crowd hung around the house but, was not sure l was in there. figured that the best way was to wall out the front door which is what nc one would expech and at dusk slipped out.
 l I figured out that the best place for me would be the Medicine Bow country i nWyoming. where I knew the country and where l could haid' . until the excitement blew over SC -l (Continued on Page Two)

TO
 WAGE FIGHT ON
 ANY SALES TAX
Re-Declaration of Policy Opposing Unrestricted
 Immigration Made

CINCINNATI, June 19.-(By the As sociated Press)-Opposition to a re- tail sales tax, with warning that ef- fort can be expected to have it writ ten into the soldier bonus bill, and the re-declaration of a policy opposed to unrestricted immigration, marked the action today of the American Fedora tion of Labor convention as it settled down to it's final weeks work.
 By unanimous vote, the convention directed officers of the federation to wage the fight against the sales tax with "unabated force" the decision of the delegates coming without debate on the legislative committees report.
 The immigration policy provoked only brief discussion, during which Max Greenstein of the Jewelry Work CTS Union, urged unrestricted immi- grafton, at least for skilled workers while Charles l.. Bayne, of the Shoe Workers Union, replied there was ''too much unemployment in this coun try now without bringing in more i'm. migrants"
 Administration of the federal bud get law also was brought before the convention by the committee report asserting that the budget administra tors have prostituted the high purpose of the budget system by using it foI political propaganda" The commit tee, however, declared in favor of a satisfactory budget system" and its report was adopted with the provision instructing the federation's. executive council to use every effort to correct glaring administrative faults which are operating to the disadvantage oi the present budget system"
 Faced with a big work program fol the final week, the delegates were not inclined to delay action. Quick action generally ruled in the disposal of all questions, and when adjournment came, no more work was ready for i'm mediate consideration.
 A development outside the colven tion was the meeting tonight of the federation's special policy committee with a number of lawyers. who will guide the committee in drafting pro gram for combating the supreme courts recent decision in the Corona do coal case.
 While committee members indicat ed an intention to favor a report pro posing constitutional amendment permitting a congressional veto o court decisions, their discussion witf the lawyers was understood to have centered on what more speedy action if any, might be proposed for offset
