CHEKIANG ARMY HOLDS
FIRM AGAINST ASSAULTS

PEKING, Sept 5.-(By Associat-
ed Press. THE Picking cabinet can
neither stop nor encourage the corr
fiict raging near Shanghai between
the forces Of the tnebuns Of Chski-
ang and Kiangsu and will devote it.
self to the maintenance OF peace and
order within the metropolitan area,
according to The Asiatic News, pre-
tending to reflect the attitude of
the central government.
The present status between Pek-
ing and General Chang Tso-Lin,
who controls Manchuria, and is re-
ported to be favoring the Chekiarg
side in the present conflict, will be
maintained unless Chang advances
against Shanghai, ~Kwan or Joholm
an attack on Chilli province, held
by WI.
There have been no troop move
ment in north China, the presidents
office and ministry of war being
confident that the Kiangsu forces
are sufficient to cope with the
Chekiang troops without the as
sistance O reinforcements from the
army of General WI Pei-fu, the
military chief of the Picking govern
ment.
Only meagre reports of the opera
tions near Shanghai reach Picking.
Interest here centers in General
Chang Tso-Lin and the possibility
of his taking a hand in the conflict.
Chang had previously arranged for
autumn maneuvers, which if car
ried out would undoubtedly arouse
instant suspicion.
Tientsin reports the shifting of
portion of the Chilli division of the
army of General WI Pc I-fu to the
region of Shanhaikwan, which would
be in the path of any advance by
Chang along the coast from Mar
churia. However, traffic on the
Picking Mukden railway, which pass
es through Shanhaikwan has not
been impaired thus far.
Advices from Canton say that DR..
Sun Vat Sen, the head OF the south
China government, has decided to
send an expedition north to assist
the Shekiang army. It is further
asserted that Sun has an emissary in
trying to get funds from
General Lu Yung-Hsiang the Cheki-
ang chieftain, to finance this ex'
petition.

DECISION MAKES
MARRIAGES EASY
Capt. John A. Cobb States LIZ
censes May Nov Be Issued
Without Waiting S Days

A recent decision lof Attorney
General Napier, copies Of which
have just been received in Ameri-
Gus makes marriage easy in Geor-
gia. In other words, the attorney
general now holds that the special
five-day notice law, passed at tbs
recent sessio nof the legislature, is
void as to certain Of its main sec
tions, and that the former la wregu-
lating the issuance Of licenses viii
be the guide Of ordinaries issuing
these permits.
Under the new law couples were
required to post notice Of their IN
tention to marry at the courthouse
at least five days before the license
could be legally issued, except in
emergencies" This provision is
completely void under the decision
of the attorney general, and Capr.
John A. Cobb, ordinary Of Sumter
county, announced today that he II
prepared to issue licenses under the
same restrictions as existed before
the new law was passed during last
summers session Of the legislature.
This law requires thae before a
license may be issued for any fe.
male under the age of is years the
consent Of her parents or guardian
must be obtained upon a form furn.
ished by the ordinary, and females
under IA years of age may not Be
granted license to marry under che
laws of Georgia. It is a curious
fact that the marriage laws make no
reference to the question of age as
this affects prospective bridegrooms,
and any man having the price of the
license an dthe preachers stipend
may marry, provides he first secures
the consent of the girl, and she is
either of legal marriage age, or her
parents or guardian consent to
contamination of the match.
