Chekiang forces defending Shanghai,
operating on the front west of this
city. have captured the town of Thing,
about 100 miles southwest Of here.
compelling the Kiangsu army in that
sector to fall back toward Changchow.
Headquarters OF the Chekiang
troops at Lungwha, south of here, an
nounced late this afternoon that two
battalions (about 1900 men) Of the
Kiangsu army had surrendered at
point two miles south of Thing. The
troops surrendering comprised the
major portion of the force defending
the town, it was said.
A delegation of the townspeople
was said at Lungwha to have waited
on the Chekiang commander petit
tioning him not to use artillery in
capturing Thing. and assuring him
that the town was only waiting to
welcome the Chekiang army.
Drenching rains, a cessation Of
fighting in flooded fields west of here,
movement of reinforcements to the
fighting fronts and reports indicating
that the warning factions battling for
possession of Shanghai would renew
hostilities with greater vigor when
the storm passes-these were over
night developments in the war be-
tween rival military governors.
Heavy Fighting at Hing.
On the basis of the number of
wounded being returned from the
front, the fercest fighting yesterday
occurred at Thing, where the defend
ing forces of Lu Yung Hsiang are
to capture the town to
make a rear attack on the invading
forces from the line of the Shanghai
Marking Railway.
No reports were issued today from
the invading Kiangsu forces, but
Lungwha, headquarters of the de-
Tending Chekiang forces, claimed
gains on the hing and Hwangtu
front yesterday.
Reports from Toxic and Peking
indicate that Chang Tso-lin, mill
tary dictator of Manchuria and ally
of Lu Yung-hsiang, has asked Japan
to aid his cause indirectly by grant
ing him permission to use the South
Manchurian Railway lines to move
mis- forces against the armies OF Wu
Pei-fu, near Peking. Japan has not
acted upon the request.
Assemble at Mukden.
Chang was reported to be assem-
bling his military forces at Mukden,
principal city of Manchuria. although
two regiments were seen en- route to
Shanhaikwan. a town on the Chilli
Manchurian border.
Although the fighting was being
carried farther from Shanghai today,
arrangements were perfected by the
international military forces to de-
fend the foreign settlement from land
and water against any activities of
the warning forces.

Our Nation loves peace and hates

country has experienced a war each
generation since its birth, and I have
to admit that our success in these
wars has not been due to prepared
ness, but rather to favorable circum-
stances.
Congress in 1920 passed the ma
tlonal ue1enSe act 1t is the first law
that thoroughly considers our prob

first time in history a plar was laid

know what the Industrial nlant in
which he works is to pro1sscs n tltee,
should know just what changes fn
factory layout will be necessary for
quantity production of the war prod
uct, and the time required for those
changes. He should know what fac
tories are coupled with his in making
the product. And problems of CO.
operation should be solved in time of
war"
Two sham battles were fought to-
day at Yankton. S. Oak, and at Evans
vile, Ind. At Jeffersonville, Ind,
s75,000,000 worth of Army supplies
were publicly exhibited and several

The announcement was made by

services in the prison with 1900 other
prisoners. Dressed in blue denim
jackets and trousers and with their
hair closely cropped. the boys sat
almost in the middle Of the prison
auditorium. They stared straight
ahead, and refused to smile when

Stared at by Others.
When they rose to pass out, all the
prisoners turned to take a long look
at the latest t-cupants of the institu-
tion, No 1905 and No. 1905.
The boys, Warden Whitman an
nounced, will be kept in different
sections of the prison. and will have
cells alone for time. This morning
they sat near each other, but the
natty appearance and staggering air
Of the past was gone. Leopold kept
his face down and Loeb did little
more than glance over the auditorium.
The report of guards to Warden
Whitman this morning showed that
the boys passed their first night in
prison uneventfully. Leopold went TO
his bunk at once, and Loeb before
o'clock, and both slept well, al
though Leopold appeared down
hearted, according to the guards re-
port.
Isolation Is Planned.

concert by the prison band and to a
Defense day address by Rev. Arthur
Hamilton, prison chaplain.
Warden Whitman told newspaper
men that the prison authorities hone

this end the youths will be kept en-
tirely apart from any outside in
fuences, including friends, relatives

c. 0. ?. OPENS DRIVE
TO TAKE WISCONSIN
Attack Follows Dawes De-
nunciation of La Toilette
Doctrine in Milwaukee.
By the Associated Press.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. September 12.-
Republican organization leaders in Wis
consin took steps today to carry on the
fight launched against La Follette's in
dependent candidacy last night by
Charles G. Dawes, Republican vice
presidential nominee, in an address in
the Milwaukee Auditorium.
Plans for the contest in Senator La
Follette's Progressive home State were
discussed informally between local
party leaders and William NJ. Butler
Republican national chairman, after
last nights meeting, which was attend
ed by an audience that overfiowed the
auditorium. The hall has a seating
capacity of 5000.
Republican national committee ofii-
cials who accompanied Mr. Dawes here
were afforded obvious Indications of the
strong political feeling that exists this
year in Wisconsin. Cheers for Senator
La Toilette were heard frequently be-
fore the meeting got under way, and
these cheers grew somewhat In volume
when Mr.. Dawes in his opening SEN
tence mentioned the name of the Wis
consi Senator. The atmosphere seemed
to be charged with the feeling existing
in the State, several Of those on the
platform cast somewhat apprehensive
glances over the audience, and those in
the audience in many cases sat forward
in their seats, all feeling tina. there
might be an open demonstrati ton of
these diverse sentiments.
Speech Lessons strain.
AS Mr.. Dawes proceeded with his
analysis Of the attitude of the La
T~ll
stitutional questions, particularly the
Independent platforms declaration
for congressional veto of Supreme
Court decisions, those in charge of
the meeting said they noticed a les
sening of the strain. There were few
Interruptions from unsympathetic
members of the audience thereafter
except about midway in the speech,
when those sitting in a section near
the back of the hall got up and
walked noisily out. The Republican
organization officials estimate the
number who did this at 200 or 800 and
pointed out th.t their places were
taken Immediately ~ IN equal num-
Der from among the crowd waiting
outside.
Mr.. Dawes declared that "in the
mass of clap-trap accompanying the
La Toilette effort we can see one
Sloduy puIpOSc always III IulnQ-lne
attack on the Constitution of the
United States" and 1t was to this rat
tack" that Mr.. Dawes devoted most of
his attention.
Calls Senator DemaEOgue.
The Republican nominee described
Senator La Toilette as "the master
demagogue"; warned against any
party attempting to take position in
the halfway ground between those
who favor the Constitution of the
United States and those who would
destroy it's essential parts; declared
this division to be the greatest issue
of the campaign, and appealed to the
voters of Wisconsin to decide the
issue "by full vote of the registered
voters, not by the fractional vote
which, for the last four years, has
been cast in Wisconsin,
Mr.. Dawes said he recognized that
there were in the country many men
who are justly discontented but who
are patriotic at heart ...

2 POLICEMEN SHOT
 BY ROBED FIGURES
Philadelphia Suburb Scens Of
 Cross Burning Ceremony

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-Two members of the Lower Merion township police were shot and seriously wounded early today when they attempted to dis perse several hundred white-garbed men surrounding fiery cross on the streets of Ardmore, suburb of this city.
 The policemen, Albert Miller and Charles Roy, had been summoned to the scene by a negro who expressed fear that he might be attacked. The officers said, however, that beyond noisy dem onstration about the burning cross they found no disorder and heard no threats.
 None of the men were masked and with two exceptions all dispersed quiet ly at the command of the policemen. These two, the officers said, were in clined to ignore the orders and in an argument that followed the policemen were shot.
 Roy was so badly wounded that per sons said he could not live.

LIFE OF PARTY NOW AT STAKE,
 TURNER AYERS
Leaders Are POwerless To 4 Reconcile McAdOO-

By RALPH H. TURNER (By Leased Wire to Age Herald)

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July As the demo- cratic national convention muddles along in hopeless deadlock, the issue here has become greater than the nomination of a presidential candidate. It is the life of the party that is being fought for now.
 With the convention split into two increasingly hostile camps, party lead CTS who are thinking vf the flu, Ire are bending all their strength toward sal vaging something constructive and amicably from the bitterness that has grown as the deadlock between McAdoo and Smith frightened. So far their ef- forts have been fruitless and they are still apprehensive.
 Nothing Happened
 For time there was faint hope of a compromise on Senator Ralston. But supporters of both McAdoo and Smith emphatically rejected suggestions that they withdraw and urged a withdrawal of favorite sons as the only solution. Ralston pulled out and nothing hap pened.
 There is no evidence at this moment of decided swing toward any compro-
