tion that he will not yield without
a fight. His army is beng held in
readiness to resist any attempt to
recapture the property seized from
the railroad.
The cabinet held a meeting in
Pekin to discuss the British pro-
test, but it decided in view of Gem

reply unless it is pressed further.

General Chang has notified the
governors of all Manchurian prov

this declaration of independence and
the raising of new brigades, Gen.
eral Chang has arranged for the
completion of an arsenal which can
manufacture both heavy and field

BRITAIN SEEKS WAY
TO HELP U. S. HALT
INDIES RUM TRADE
Downing Street Demurs
At Proposal of Search
And Seizure.

LONDON, July 24.-In response
to a request from the Tilted States
government Great Britain is search
ing for means to stop liquor SNUG
Cling into America from the West
Indies possessions.
But there seems little prospect
that anything will be done. be-
cause officials are reluctant to re-
sort to search and seizure for fear
of establishing a precedent which
might provoke international COM
plications.
And short of some such drastic
step as this little possibility is seen
of preventing the transfer Of liquor
from British ships to American rum
runners so long as 1t is accom-
plished outside of the three-mile
limit.
Matter Taken Up.
However, the government in.e-h-
to do what it can and the ....--
mas alreauy Deen taken up with the
colonies. particularly the Bahama
group.
The chief problems which the
government is concentrating are
concerned with fraudulent clearance
papers. For instance, a ship clear
ing from Nassau to Halifax, puts in
at Bimini. which is directly on the
route. and there gets new clearance
papers for an American port. The
question of false registry Is also
being gone into.
Afraid of Seizure Clause.
As to allowing search, and seizure
by American prohibition officials the
British government is somewhat
doubtful. Officials point out If
American prohibition enforcement
agents were allowed to halt and
search ships flying the union jack,
A dangerous precedent might be set
which world powers could cite when
they desired the same privileges for
entirely different purposes.
The foreign offfce has notified

band liquor. but definite plans prob

HOPE OF FINANCIAL
PEACE FOR EUROPE
SETTLES In PARLEY
London Formally Notified
Poincare Will Arrive
August 1.
VISIT SIGNIFICANT
Britain Insists Reparations
Must Be Cut to Cancel
Loans to France.

LONDON. July 24-Hope of a
settlement Of Europe's financial
troubles is now almost universally
placed in the conference between
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
Poincare to be held here next
week.
Confirming semi official advices,
the British foreign office has been
officially notified that the French
premier will come to London Au-
gust 1 for the conference, bringing
with him staff of numerous finan-
cial experts.
Possibilities Great
The meeting is described as hav-
ing possibilities second only to
those of the conference resulting
in the ultimatum of London. 1t is
expected that an attempt will be
made to revise the entire basis of
the reparations conditions.
Reduction or cancellation of the
British loans to France will be con-
sidered in connection with the re-
vision of the reparations schedules,
1t Is understood. Great Britain hav-
ing made a scaling down of the
German indemnity a condition Of
any writing off of Frances war
obligations.
To Discuss Near East.
British and French interests in
the near East will be brought up.
If Poincare agrees, a new rep
arations schedule intended to be
more equitable in view of Germany's
financial condition, is likely to be
drawn up.
The council of the league of ma
tions adjourned almost unnoticed
today. Beyond adoption of the
Palentine and Syrian mandate

attracted attention.

KING ASKS BONOMI
TO FORM CABINET

ROME. July 24.-The King has
asked Ivanoe Bonomi, who was
premier just preceding the recently
fallen Facta government again to
form a cabinet.
Bonomi is socialist-reformist
ard as soon as the news spread
that he had been asked to head the
government. strong opposition arose
among the Fascist and the Right
groups who considered Donomi a
Soc 'alistophile" and says he wants
to form a strictly popular-dem
cratic cabinet. with the support
of the Socialists.
The conservatives declare they
would rather have an avowed
enemy like Nitti as premier.
