road lines, IS transporting troops
from the Yangtze with a view to
turning Chang -Tso-Lin's west
wing, located at Angsintien. 1t
is believed the Wu-Pei-Fu designs
to drive Chang -Tso-Lin's forces
from about Peking.
The fighting near Chang Sin
Tien centered around the river
crossing known as the Marco Polo
bridge. Peking was awakened at
dawn by the sound of cannonad-
ing, which continued throughout
mounted the city wall could hear
the firing distinctly. From the
western hills outside the city,
where many summer homes are To-
Gated, the fighting at Chang-Sin-
Tien was witnessed by numerous
civilians.
Most of the foreigners returned
to the city on the advice of the le-
cations. They were also advised
to display their national flags and
this was done, particularly by
the Americans.
One hundred and fifty Ameri-
vail piuNIiShCNo anu maj lHSo HdfS
arrived to reinforce the legation.
The total number of guards at all
the legations is about 1000.
Advices from Tsingtao and
Shantung report that the Japanese
are reinforcing their guards along
the Shantung railway; these had
recently been decreased in num-
ber as a result of the Washington
conference. The American consul
at Nanking reports that two Chi
nese cruisers in sympathy with
Wu-Pei-Fu have departed from
Chefoo and are proceeding for
near the great wall
for the purpose of destroying the
railroad TO Mukden, thus cutting
off Chang-Tso- -Lin's rear.
The admiral of the Chinese fleet
has notified the government that
it is his purpose to support WI
Pei-Fu.
Evidence of the feeling of the
Chinese in the outlying districts
was observable in Peking last
night, when thousands of natives
entered the western and southern
gates carrying their ,valuables to
safety. All kinds of vehicles came
in loaded with goods and accom-
panied by women and children. In
side the gates the Chinese trans
ported their money and jewelry to
the banks. The firing appeared
to diminish when darkness fell.

ousations of tyranny and imper
ialism. Those who acted as spokes
men Tor the committee were Sem

DUTY To GIRLS
colorado Is Pleasure Mad"
Says Judge; Declines to
Accept Guilty Plea of 49,
Year-OId.
lBy The Associated Press.l

Denver, April 29.-Judge Charles
c. Butler of the district court to-
day declined to accept a plea OF
guilty offered by Ruth Locke, Is
years old, who on April 81, was
arrested while attempting to saw
her way through back door of
a women's apparel store in the
down town district Instead, Judge
Butler criticised the people for
forgetting the duty they owe to
young women of the state"
COLORADO is pleasure, mad" de-
clared Judge Butler. THE people
of Colorado are just pushing
through space in quest of excite
ment."
Deputy District Attorney L. D.
Mowry told the court after the
girl had offered to plead guilty
that he hesitated on approving ac-
ceptance of the plea because of
the fact that if the court accepted
it there was only one place to send
the girl.
Judge Butler ordered that the
girl be brought before him a week
from saturday, after she told him
she had been earning only a small
amount working in a restaurant;
that she desired new dress and
that she had attempted to break
into the store to get it.
Turning to the attorneys, wit
nesses and attaches of the court,
Judge Butler said: at is a down
right shame that girls between the
ages Of 16 and II years, girls who
get into trouble, have to be sent
to the penitentiary. l wonder il
the people of Colorado have paus-
ed for moment and thought
about this, thought about the fu-
ture mothers of the state being
behind prison walls. The people
of this state and every other state,
| suppose, are too much bent on
pleasure nowadays to give much
of their time to these questions.
In Colorado hundreds of thousands
of dollars are being spent every
month in the mad quest for excite
ment, amusement, pleasure. In
the heat of the race, many young
people fall from grace and sur
prising number of them are young
girls. Then, after they have
broken a law in pursuit of excite
ment. Of pleasure. what becomes of
them? They are sent to Jail"

WHY JACOB
TORE HIS SHIRT

One day when Jacob went
out to play with the other boys
and girls he was greatly en-
barrassed when a great rent
was torn in his shirt.
This occurred because Jacobs
mother used soap that was too
strong while doing the family
wash and the material in the
garment was damaged.
The Department of Agricul-
ture has issued an illustrated
booklet on the subject of home
laundrying which tells how
any housewife may apply tests
to soaps which will tell wheth-
er they are too strong or too
mild, and warn her of the ef-
fects they may be expected to
have on cottons, silks, or WOOL
ems.
This is a free booklet, and

Bureau will secure a copy for
anyone who writes for 1t. Use
