ALL DAY FIGHTING
Continued from Page One)

Tso Lin'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. Some of the
wounded in the fighting have been
brought to hospitals in Picking. The
dead were left on the battlefield. Re
liable details as to the casualties are
not obtainabie, because the Chinese
are keeping no record of them.
The military situation Sunday as
gathered from legation attaches here
is as follows:
Chang Tso Lin and WI Pei Flu
each had 10000 men under fire or in
position. w Pei Flu is bringing up
reiniorcenents from the Yang Use
provinces. Chang Tso Lin is send
ing forces from Mukden which soon
VIII increase the total electives to
more than 100000 on each side.
Chang Tso Lin controls the rail-
road running from Mukden through
Tientsin to Picking. 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
mall. His line extends south TO
Machang.
WI Pei Flu appears to be master Of
the Picking Hanfow railroad to
Chang -Sintien. Midway between the
railroads flows the Hun river. Chang
Tso Lin has thrown troops and ar
tillery across to the western bank of
the river, with the purpose of driving
WI Pei Flu southwark and surround
ing WI Pei Eu's headquarters at
Uaotingfu.
WI 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 filed
with marshes and quicksands. AL
together the view is that the fighting
thus far is of preliminary charac-
ter and that greater conflicts will
come when the full strength of the
opposing armies is attained.
The diplomatic body in Picking met
today at the residence of the Portu-
guese minister 10 discuss precautions
airy measures. 1t was decided at the
meeting to await replies to the notes
the diplomatic corps handed the Chi
nese foreign Office last week which
warned the government against fight
ing in Picking.
The commanders of the allied troops

seize the Peking Tientsn railroad il

mean that the Soviet binds itself, If
it accepts this clause, not to seek TO
econauerBessarabia, which was an
nexed by Rumania, but British
spokesman today said the article does
not imply recognition Of tie disputed
frontiers. which was more properly
cmbaced in the scope of the proposed
non aggression pact.
Premier Lloyd George, who referred
so emphatically recently to the poten-
tial danger to Europe arising out Of
frontier disputes. which would agitate
central Europe from the Baltic to the
Black Sea, desires that these matters
SHALL be arranged at Genoa.
The conference has assC-..cd such q
broad aspect that it is predicted it
will require another months work.
The British delegations draft of the
other proposed clauses of the Russian
agreement resembles the French draft
in one notable respect-the recon-
mendation that the courts of arbitra-
ton to settle ire disputed questions
on debts should be appointed by the
supreme court of the United States.
If the United States supreme court
is unable to designate the arbitrator,
then, says the clause. the president of
the court of international justice or
the council of the League of Nations
shall designate them.
France has expressed readiness to
make concessions from her genera,
position that all war debt; should be
recognized and Mr.. Lloyd George said
today that he was greatly pleased at
the attitude of NJ. Barthou was man.
Ifesting. At yesterdays meeting Of
the plenipotentiaries, NJ. Barthou ar
gued that the powers were justified
in amending their attitude on the
question of war debts. because of the
soviet delegates had abandoned their
initial position. as clearly shown in
their counter proposals, which had
cau~"" the lilies temporarily to break
off negotiations.
The British prime minister was in
clined today to pay little attention to
the Russian note Of prote published
ut was based on the as
sumption that the Allies were going
back on the position we took in our
note of April Is to the soviets," said
Mr. Lloyd George.
"But this is not true. We intend to
stick to our original position"

gunboat be sent to Ticntsin. The
French cruiser Craonne has arrived at
Tientsin.
The residents of Picking feel safe
notwithstanding the booming of can

heavily guarded. They are being kept
open. but il is expected they Will be

of rush toward Picking by defeated
troops.
The foreign legations. foreign bust
ness houses and Institutions like the
American Board of Missions, the
Rockefeller ins.,ute and the American

respective nations conspicuously.
The American legation here has re-
quested the American ambassador in
Toxic not to permit Americans dcsir-
ing 10 come to Picking to travel by
way of Mukden., This is tho only rail
road on which traffic has not been sus-
pended.
Visitors from the vicinity of the bat
ticfeld outside Picking report that
Chang Tso Lins troops are ~ position
on the western foothills. from which
they are firing southwark. The visit
ors asserted that the wounded are not
receiving proper surgical treatment on
account of insufficient equipment.

nounced Chang Tso Lin as 2 monarch
list and former bandit.
Commander Charles T. Hutchins,
American naval attache at the lega-
ton here. who returned today from
the battlefield, reported that firing
had not ceased during the last sc
hours. From a hillside overlooking
the Hun river he witnessed the OPP
erations of both armies with Chang

OF Changsintien and the WI Pei Flu
forces two miles southwark fighting

Both sides appeared to be Smelling

Commander Hutchins expressed
the opinion that WI Pei Fu's object
is to push forward and capture
Picking, with a view to controlling
affairs from the capital. Chang Tso

WI Pei Flu was ambitious to become

New York, April 29-Daylight saw
ing will begin at midnight tomorrow
in more than 500 of the nations
largest cities, in about 200 smaller
cities or rural communities, and in
every nook or corner or several
states, notably on the Atlantic sea-
board.
Railroads will operate on standard
time, unless a bill now before Con-
gress which would give them per-
mission to use daylight saving time
tables is passed. But banks and
stock exchanges and business radi-
ating out of New York and the four
of five great cities along the coast
will be on daylight saving time.
New York State, after an active
year of organized farm opposition,
is not following in the footsteps of
its large cities. New York. Albany
and Buffalo will be on daylight time,
but such places as Syracuse and
Rochester, agricultural as well as in
dustrial centers, have repealed local
ordinances land will continue to live
by the old clock during the summer.

land and New Jersey, however, will
be on daylight time on a practically
statewide basis. Where local ordi-
nances govern conditions, action has
been unanimous to save an hour
In New York City, Philadelphia,
Buffalo, Boston, Baltimore, Pitts
burg, Washington and Chicago
the clocks will go ahead an hour at
midnight or shortly after. And in all
these cities action by the local coun-
ellis was unanimous, except where
state laws took care of the change.
Connecticut last year passed a law
providing for daylight saving only
by local ordinance. New London and
New Haven alone adopted such Or
dinances. but this year Hartford has
joined their ranks, and daylight saw
ing will become almost state wide by
action in cities and rural districts all
over the state.
Rhode Island Joined Massachusetts
in state law for saving daylight at
the last session. All Of Names large
cities will save the hour, but most of
New Hampshire will leave its clocks
along tomorrow.
Chicago is the center of a middle
west belt which will have daylight
time. The city decided last year to
change its clocks by vote of the
people and the ordinance has not
been attacked since. To keep pace
with the largest city on the lakes,
such places as Cleveland. Toledo, De-
troit, Racine and Milwaukee have
adopted time saving audinances.
Lansing, last year on regular GEN.
trail time, will change this year.
Most of the leading business CEN
tiers of Europe have adopted day
light saving permanently. Paris will
continue it this year but discard it
in 1923 under new law. London
took to saving daylight on March &c
while all the cities of Belgium and
France will join her tomorrow or al
ready have done so. Germany. by
national law. holds aloof and will
conduct all it's business and trade on
its usual time standard.
The situation in New York state is
peculiar. In the first year Of Gov
ernor Miller's administration. the
farm tloc" passed a bill repeating
the state daylight saving law but
permitting it by local ordinance. All
of the large cities had daylight saw
