taken to secure the liberation of
the prisoners.
Roy Anderson, China-born
American, who has been assisting
the foreign diplomats in getting the
prisoners released, has offered to
negotiate with the bandits if he is
given plenipotentiary powers by the
Picking government.
Advices to the State Department
today from Picking reported firing
between national troops and the
bandits, and the death Of one
Chinese.
Officials admitted that they re-
garded the situation as more Sc
rious, but it is being left to Min
lister Schurman to decide what
steps are to be taken.
Negotiations Fail.
The following official statement
was issued:
1.-The Department of State has
received information from the lega-
ton at Picking to the effect that
Consul Davis and Major Philoon
have reported on the date of May
20, that the delegation which went
to negotiate with the bandits re-
turned to Lincheng early on the
morning of the goth, accompanied
by Mrs. Verea, a Mexican. who
has been sent to Shanghai. Ac-
cording to a report of this delega-
ton, Yang I-Peh, representative,
acted as chief spokesman. Fearing
treachery, the proffered commits
sions were refused by the bandits.
The soldiers fired on the bandits,
killing one and wounding several
others. Mrs. Verea states that
Messrs. Allen, Solomon and Powell,
on the night of May 10, were taken
to the top of Paotzefu and the
others are to be taken there on
May 20. Davis and PhiIoon report
that they believe further negotia-
lions without foreign representation
are futile. Roy Anderson is willing
to go to negotiate with the bandits
provided he Al given plentipoten-
tiary powers by the Chinese govern
menk Otherwise the hope of early
release of the prisoners is by direct
foreign Negotiations"

possibility that the cabinet will

Commons, and for Lloyd George.
1t would cause no surprise if the
next few weeks should see new
coalition government composed of
laboriteS and liberal adherents of
Lloyd George, with possibly a few
others.
Speculate on Foreign Policy.
There is much speculation on the
change in foreign policy If Curzon
becomes premier. He has made it
-4ions and in his statements in the
House of Lords that he wants u
sterner attitude toward France,
sven at cost Of q rupture. Further
more, he is responsible for the ulti-
matum to Soviet Russia. He wants
a more vigorous attitude toward
Turkey in the Near East. He be.
heVes Great Britain has been too
passive in the last two years and
should adopt q foreign policy both
bold and aggressive.
International News Service was
assured from official sources, how.
ever, that the debt funding agree
ment negotiated with the United
States will stand. no matter what
political changes take place here.
Numerous informal political con-
ferences took place during the day
with both Laborites and Tory die
hards" protesting against Curzon's
appointment. Laborites charged
that Curzon sis almost certain to
lead England into war"
The Daily Herald, organ Of the
Labor party. declared that Premier
Mussolini of Italy is cooperating
sia and that Czarists are preparing
for a simultaneous attack against

was expected to do 30 before night.
J. Bonar Law is resting quietly in
his London home, under the con.
slant care Of physicians. 1t is
admitted that his illness is serious,
but hope Is held out that he will
recover with rest and good care.
According to the Daily Sketch, he
IS suffering from catarrh, which
caused loss of speech from in
eomnia, neuritis and severe pains
in the right arm and leg.
Press comment was most sym
pathetic. Regrets over his forced
retirement poured in upon Bonar
Law from all sides.
Ramsay Macdonald expressed
hope that the former premier's In
Huence upon the British public was
not lost.
A bulletin issued at Bonar Laws
residence at o'clock said that his
condition showed no improvement.

FORD NOW SETS.
RECORD FOR
WORLD
With Harvey Firestbne, His
2S-Day Output Surpasses
s. Americas Total Cars.
By TOM EvERR1TT.
Cosinonolitan News Service.

Henry Ford, automobile maker,
plus Harvey 8. Firestone, tire manu-
facturer, requires only twenty-eight
working days OF his plant to turn
out automobiles sufficient in nunber
to equal the total number Of auto
mobiles now in use in all of Central
and South America, including Mex
leo, Cuba, Porto .Rica and Hiatt, ac-
cording to a statement of the United
states Department Of Commerce,
which gives the total number Of
automobiles In use In every country
in the world.
The statement, of course, does not
put 1t exactly that way, but with
Ford's daily production Of 1000 cars
and Firestnie's capacity Of 10000
tires per day, It II easy to figure
out.
Argentine leads the countries Of
our southern hemisphere With about
10000 cars and Honduras Ii ut the
end DC the list with about $50. IN
between comes Mexico with APP
i1roxifnately $1,000, Ettba with nearly
$4,000, Porto Rico with $500 and
Haiti with 600.
All TOLD, there are arOumu 1V0s160
automobiles within the territory
mentioned, SO that within b months
time, II every car hi all Of the
countries named was suddenly deB.
trcyed, Ford and Eifestofie cUiild r.
place them, including tires.
There are twenty countries with d
total population Oh approximately

Judging from recent import and ex.
port reports of the Department ok
Commerce, which show q skSAdv lff1L

would seem that these southern
