u. S. TO DEMAND
ACTION BY CHINA

Washington, D. ca situation re-
gafded as seriously menacing good re-
lations between the United States and
the Pekin government was described
by American Minister Schurman In the
first official report to reach the state
department regarding the. capture of
American citizens by bandits near the
Shantung border.
The American minister Is under
stood to have made official representa-
lions on his own responsibility and it
is, expected he will be instructed by
the government to pursue the most
vigorous course to secure the release
OF the prisoners unframed.
Should any American lose his life,
the state department is prepared to
make vigorous demands on the Pc
kin authorities for restitution. Not
only will suitable apologies be requir-
ed but indemnity must be paid and
those responsible must be p>r!shed
If good relations between the tvs gov
ernments are to continue.

RESIGNATION OF
POINCARE Declined

Paris.-Premier Poincare and his
colleagues in the cabinet submitted
their designations to President Miller
and, but the president declined to ac-
cept them.
The action of the ministers was
the outcome of the refusal Of the
senate to proceed with the trial of
Marcel Cachin and other communists
charged with illegal acts against the
French republic. The ministerial crisis
ended as quickly as it arose; to be
exact, it lasted half hour,
The entire chamber Of deputies, with
the exception of the communists, gave
Premier Poincare great ovation
when he entered the chamber for the
continuation of the interpretations on
the Ruhr. The communists hooted
the premier
The charges against the commun-
fists still stand in spite of the senate's
decision, which was simply on the
method of procedure.

archaeological expedition sent to the
ancient city of Ur in Babylonia, by

GOVERNOR APPROVES
DRY LAW Repeater
Present Federal Enforcement
Measures for Prohibition
to Continue.

Albany, N. Y.--Governor Smith sign
ed the bill repeating the state prohibi.
ton enforcement act And he went
further. Acceding to the urging of
his friends that he strike a note In
a campaign for the return Of light
wines and beer, he denounced the one
half of l per cent alcoholic beverage
content provided in the Volstead act
as "the work Of fanatlcal drys," call
ing on congress to modify it to a
"Common-sense maximum" and then
leave each state free to set figure
below the maximum II 1t so desires.
II yield to no man In my rever.
ence and respect for the constitu.
ton of the United States and ad-
vocate nothing which will infringe up
on provisions OF the 18th amendment"
the governor said.
1T is nevertheless fact that the
definition OF an intoxicating bever.
age contained in the Volstead act Is
not an honest or common-sense one.
1t is impossible to divorce from the
public mind the impression that the
definition of an Intoxicating beverage
as containing not more than one.half
of per cent of alcohol was written
by the fanatical drys in defiance of the
general experience of mankind and Of
actual fact. 1t seems to me that com
mon sense, backed up by good medical
opinion, can find more scientific
definition of what constitutes an in
toxcating beverage"
The governor emphasized, however,
that the mere repeal Of the Mullan-
Gage act did not alter the effective
ness of the Volstead act In its pres
ent form so long as it stands unmodi-
fled and served notice on all peace
officers of the state that they would
be expected to enforce the Volstead
act in its strictest letter"

note sent the allies and delivered to
the German embassies in Paris and
Brussels.
The note criticizes point by point
the German offer and announces the
determination of France and Belgium
to be paid In full and not to consider
any proposal until German resistance
in the Ruhr ceases.
Surprise Is expressed at German
pretensions, which the note says,
would mean tearing up the Versailles
treaty. In the final paragraph it re-
marks:
"The German government, If 1t will
only look into its own heart, Will not
be astonished that such a bargain
should be refused"
