Foreign Legations
Warn Against
Fighting in China

Picking, April 2S-(By A. Po-The
foreign legations today sent the
Chinese government joint warn
ing against possible fighting in
Pcliing between the troops of Cen
eral Chang Tso Lin, governor of
Manchuria, and General WI Pei Flu
China.
The warning said the powers
recognized the gravity of the military
movements in the vicinity of Picking.
1t called attention to the severe con-
sequences that might develop should
any bombardment, or the dropping of
bombs from airplanes, damage prop
crty or endanger the lives of ma
tionals of the various governments.
The Chinese government was re-
minded of penalties that had been
imposed upon it in the past.
The diplomatic body, with the min
listers of all the countries present,
took their action in view of the
threatened outbreak OF hostilites
between the Chang Tso-Lin and WI
Pei Flu troops near Picking. Chang
Tso-Lin is expected to arrive soon
1t Tien-Tsin to direct the movements
of his forces. Wa Pei Flu is report
ed to have reached Pao Ting Flu,
50 miles southwest of Picking.
Both armies are equipped with
airships and artillery.
The military comman ders at the
American, British, French and Jap
anese delegations have adopted meas
ures for the protection of the Picking
Tien Tsin railroad, which the diplo-
matte officials have approved and
sent to the Chinese foreign offices.
They provide that in the event of
necessity allied forces will patrol the
railroad from Shanghai-kuan.i in the
northeast corner of the province OF
pechili, north of Tien-Tsin, to
Picking.
The note declares that any attempt
to damage bridges, stations or tele-
graphic communications will be re-
sisted by the combined forces of the
forr powers cooperating in defense Of
the railway"

HOLD TROOPS IN RI,
STR|k AREA IN FEAR
OF May DAY TROUBLE
PUBLISHERS ELECT,
PASS RESOLUTIONS
AT CLOSING SESSION

New York, April 2S-The conven-
ton Of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association closed today
after the members had passed
resolution regarding federal taxes,
two regarding advertising and one in
memory of members who have died
during the past year. Officers for the
next year were elected at the morn
ing session.
The most important resolution Of
the day, according to officers, con-
cerned circulation. 1t read:
"Whereas. the question of circula-
ton as a solicitation is liable to
abuse and has been abused by both
publishers and advertisers to the
disadvantage of fair minded deal
ings; Therefore, be it resolved that
any form of guarantee that impairs
the level justice of the publishers
rate to any other advertiser is de-
structive Of advertising and should be
avoided"
The association went on record as
opposed to any change in the exist
ing commission system in advertis-
ing, and opposed to a system which
splits dfferential rates allowed by
publishers between agents and ad-
vertisers.
This system was held to be i'm
moral and destructive to the best in
forests of the advertiser, the publish
err and the agent"
The resolution on taxes favors
amendments to the 1921 revenue act
insofar as it affects publishers. The
publishers also adopted a resolution
favoring sending an exhibition of the
growth of the American Press to the
proposed Philadelphia exhibit.
| Memory of 30 publishers who have
died during the year was honored in
the neurology" resolution which
| passed just before the convention
was closed.
