WI 10 Try TO TURN west Flank
The fighting Sunday was sporadic
throughout the area. There were no
signal gains by either side. The most
persistent conflict appeared 10 be CEN
tered around Changsientein. and the
rest of the Peking wall, where WI
Pel Flu is concentrating for a drive in
an attempt TO turn Chang Tso Iin's
western front toward Tientsin.
Chang Tso Lin's forces occupy the
village of Changsintien. where 100
wounded have been taken into the
houses of natives. The dead were left
on the battlefield. Reliable details as
TO the casualties are not obtainable.
Forces to Grow to 100000
The military situation Sunday as
gathered from legation attaches here
is as follows:
chang Tso Lin and WI Pei Flu each
has $4,000 men under fire or in posi-
ton. WI Pei Fu is bringing up re-
Inducements from the Yang Use prov
inces and Chang Tso Lin is sending
forces from Nsukden which soon will
increase the total effcctives to more
than 100000 on each side.
Chang 1'so Lin controls the rail
fOau running from Mukuen through
Tientsin to Peking. but is holding re
serves to protect his rear, fearing an
attempt by the Chinese navy TO de-
stroy the railroad north of the Great
Wall. His line extends south TO
Machang.
Would Hem In Headquarters
WI Pei Flu appears to be master of
the Peking Hankow railroad TO Chang
s,ntien. Midway between the rail-
roads flows the Hun river. Chang Tso
Lin has thrown troops and artillery
across 10 the western bank of the
river, with the purpose of driving WI
Pei Flu southwark and surrounding his
headquarters.
Wa Pei Flu is pushing his 'front.'
eastward. apparently with the inten-
ton of forcing Chang Tso Lin to re
treat over the river. which is filled
with marshes aud quicksand. Alto
gether. the view is that the fighting /
thus far is of a preliminary character. |

Genoa, April Bobby The Associ-

"a cannot say how pleased I am
at this remarkable document, nor

Report on Russia Coming
Officially the economic conference
saw little activity Sunday. The jurists
who are striving to compose the differ
ing views of France and Great Britain
on the question of the settlement of
the Russian war debts met in the aft
ernoOn and made considerable progress.
Their report will be submitted to the
conference, as will also the plan to dis
pose of the vexing problem of private
property in Russia which was confis-
Gated by the soviet government and
nationalized. France wants it restored.
If it can be located, but Great Britain
will be content with enjoying the use
of it.
The jurists appears to have discov
cred some formula which. according
to rumor, mentions neither nationalist
ton, ownership of private property nor
capitalism in way to offend the soviet
followers of nationalism or the sup
porters of capitalism in other coun-
tries

BRYAN WRITES
PRESIDENT To
GET INTO GENOA
Would Have Harding
Appoint Envoy to Sit
in Economic Farley.

Lincoln. Neb.. April 30.-(By The
Associated Press) In a letter to
President Harding. which he made
public Sunday night. William Jennings
Bryan urged that representative of
the United States be sent to the
Genoa conference, not necessarily to
bind this country to the conclusions of
that conference, but to advise with the
nations of Europe in an effort to bring
about the rehabilitation of the world.
Mr.. Bryan wrote the president it
was national and international
calamity" that the United States did
not enter the League of Nations. the
responsibility for which, he says. rests
"about equally with the republicans
and democrats"
Says Lloyd George Needs Us
But the mistakes of the past. he
adds, should not prevent wiser action
in the present and future
He quotes from the speech of Lloyd
George at Genoa, in which the British
prime minister deplored the absence of
the tHitcu otdteS NJ tnt CoHlbEtuce,
and adds:
HE Lloyd George is dealing with
a very trying situation and he needs
the help of the United States. 1t
would not hurt us TO have a repre-
sentative there if he went empowered
to advise only and with the understand
ing that our nation is not bound by
any conclusions reached except as our
people. acting through congress and
the president or at referendum may
expressly approve.
Both Sides Erred on League
Failure of the United States to
enter the League of Nations was ma
tiOnal and international calamity. the
for which was divided
between the refusal of republicans to
ratify the covenant without reserva
lions and the refusal of the democrats
70 ratify the treaty with reservations |
The covenant was so much more i'm
Dortant than the reservations that it !
o subordinate the idea of international |!
% operation to the minor details about |
which they differed.
But mistake in the past should /
lot prevent wiser action in the present |
md future. 1t matters little whether |
t is called league of nations or an
association of nations or anything else.
bur nation should use its influence in |
liding to secure world peace.
Urges An Appeal to God
Mr.. President, your sense of re-
ponsibility to God must soon compel
'ou to propose an appeal to the es-
ranged nations to forget the past and
,egin the work of friendly co-opera-
ion in tn upbuilding of Europe. You
made a splendid beginning in calling
he arms conference, but what will it's
york avail if Europe is to become
gain a slaughterhouse?
You are a man of prayer, Mr..
'resident-yOu are the first president
o include the Lords prayer in u
ublic address; ! beg you to ask for
uidance in this world crisis Who
noweth whether thou art not come to
he kingdom for such a time as this?'

Norwich, Benjamin Blocks hither- to unbeaten son of Runnymede, which is a pronounced favorite for the Ken lucky Derby, to be run at Louisville on May 13, ran a gratifying mile re- gently at Jamaica in preparation for his first great test as .three-year- old. No striking speed was asked of the colt and he was under restraint much of the way, but he covered the eight furlongs in 1:46 3-5 at an even pace, and would have excelled this perform ance if allowed. McAtee, the jockey, had the mount, and his performance pleased Fred Berlew, trainer of Mor- vich, so much that he has arranged to have the boy astride the noted thor oughbred during his future workouts. The fractional times registered were as follows: The quarter in 25 sec onds flat, half mile in 51 3-5 seconds, five furlongs in 1:04, six furlongs in 1:1S, seven furlongs in 1:32, and, as stated, the mile in 1: 46 3-5.
