tions at Shanghai.

Naval forces now at Shanghai are
considered ample to handle any
situation which may arise, Admiral
Washington, commanding the Asiatic
fleet, reported to the Navy Depart
ment yesterday in q dispatch which
apparently has been delayed several
days in transit
The message described the estab-
lishment Of headquarters by Gen. Chi
at Kta Chang and added:
mo fighting yet and possibly Gen
Ho, defense commissioner, will ac-
cept an offer Of S2,0o0.o00 and quit
Railroad and telegraph communica-
tion broken by Chis force ten miles
from Shanghai.
"Am informed that the generals
have appointed representatives to lay
out neutral zone pending peace in
China, representatives to act with

begin fighting but only defend
Kiangsu against Gen. Lu. He has
also guaranteed safety Of foreign
lives and property.

Tu that no orders had been issued
against ships opening hostilities but
he would not do SO until military

stated that he would inform U. 8. s.

The most extreme action considered
so far has been the use of marines in
holding one or two important points
on the Yangtse River. Prime Minis

ports from the foreign Office on the
Chinese situation before he left for
Scotland on n riay. He intends
studying the vaI. proposals made
by other nations with a view of es-
tablishing international control. If
the situation becomes more threaten
ing than at present 1t is possible that
Mr.. Macdonald may make some prop
osition to the other powers. Little, II
any, hope exists in Great Britain Of
getting the rival Chinese chiefs to-
gether for the purpose of establish
ing a new federal state. Therefore.
foreign powers are faced only with
the task Of protecting their nationals
and avoiding disagreements among
themselves.

Cause of Peace Makes Big Strides,
Say Committeeman.

BY the Associated Press
GENEVA, Septembe s.-Belief that
the cause Of peace has been advanced
during the year in Geneva is ex-
pressed in statement made here to-
day by Prof. James Shotwell, David
Hunter Miller and Gen. Tasker H.
Bliss. whose draft project Of security
and disarmament, providing for out
layry Of war, is forming an impor-
tant element in the Disarmament dis.
cussions of the League Of Nations as
sembly. The three Americans will
leave Geneva tomorrow, going by
motor to Paris, whence Gen. Bliss
and Mr.. Miller will return to the
United States Immediately.
There is a spirit in the discus
sions and purposes of the countries
represented here which gives every
promise for the future Of the world"
the statement says. There Is already
general agreement that international
aggression is hereafter to be a crime;
that arbitration Is to be developed
under agreements satisfactory to all
nations so that peaceful settlement
shall take the place of force; that
disarmament of Germany is only a
part OF world disarmament; that the
details Of world disarmament are to
be worked out by all countries in
common agreement, and that Ger
many is to be a peaceful and equal
partner at the council board.
Accord With q. S. Ideal.
Nothing could be more in accord
with the American ideal. Americans
who have been here observing the
work Of the League Of Nations feel
that 1t Is on the road of progress
contemplated by it's founders.
We are leaving Geneva in accord
ance with plans made before coming
to Europe. We are gratified that the
principles Of the so-called American
plan are being favorably considered
by the statesmen in Geneva"
Without causing any weakening Of
the general faith at Geneva that
something concrete and helpful will
emerge from the present League OF
OF arbitration, security and disarma-
ment the debate has indicated to all
the delegates the stupendous task
confronting them.
Two years were required in build
Ing up the draft pact Of mutual as
sistance. which sprang from the brain
of Lord Robert Cecil, and in getting
the views Of the world governments
on the draft.
Muck work Ahead.
Now the assembly not only pro-
poses to fashion a new pact Of guar
entees, but to link it up with some
suitable form OF compulsory arbitra-
tion and proceed far enough along
the road of general agreement to
warrant convocation OF q general
conference on disarmament.

grow that the delegates cannot hope

TAKE OWN INITIATIVE.
q. S. ENJOYS Not Acting on Orders
in Chinese Trouble.

While American diplomatic repre-
sentatives abroad have been discussing
the new Chinese disorders Informally
with various foreign Office officials, they
have acted on their own initiative and
with a view to keeping themselves fully
informed, not under any instructions
from Washington with q UeW to con-
oentrated action in China
The Washington Government, it was
said definitely here today, had advanced
no proposals even in an informal way,
and the situation remains as it was
with the diplomatic corps In Peking act
ing in unison on matters affecting
equally all foreign nations in China. In
such cases the Pehng diplomats act
very largely on their own initiative in
trail government.
Recent developments in China have
assumed SO serious an aspect with
the threatened widening OF the local
fighting around Shanghai into a FULL
fledged civil war that it may become
necessary for the interested powers

ment has any move in this direction
in mind. however, 1t has been un-
willing to disclose its plans. Sucn

COLLECTORS PREPARE
FOR TAX INSTALLMENT

Bills for the third installment of
the income tax due on or before
midnight of September Is, are being
mailed by collectors Of internal reve-
nue. to taxpayers who are paying on
the installment plan. The bill shows
the net amount due, after allowing
for the 25 per cent reduction on in
come received by individuals in the
calendar year 1923. provision for
which was made by the 1924 revenue
act
The amount paid in September. plus
the amount previously paid, must
equal three-fourths of the total tax
liability. after the % per cent reduc-
tfon has been taken.
For example, an individual who re-
ported on his return a tax of 500
owed under the new act, SIS. If he
paid $25, or one-fourth of the amount
reported when he filed his return, he
was required to pay on or before June
Is one-half of that amount, or $l2.50,
the two payments equaling one-haIf
of the total amount due. On his Sep
tember Is payment he is required to
pay s1S.75, which, in addition to prior
payments, equals three-fourths of the
amount due. The remainder must be
paid on or before December Is. Many
tax payers, in view of the rs per cent
reouctlon, paid on or before June Is
the remainder of the total amount
due. 1t is expected a larger number
OF full settlements will be made on or
before September Is.
Taxpayers who paid in full at the
time of filing their returns the
amount shown on the face of the re-
turn are receiving, without the re-
quirement to file a claim. refunds of
20 per cent. To date I,723.00O re-
funds. totaling more than $12,sse.-

mainder are being made as fast as

Siddons Sustains Falls OBJ

Justice Siddons of the District Su-
preme Court today decided that the
pfesence of a stenographer. not
lawyer. nor a special assistant to the
Attorney General in the grand jury
room during the taking of testimony
Us violation OF the secrecy Of grand
jury proceedings, and accordingly
sustained the objection of Albert 3.
Fall. former Secretary of the Interior.
TO the testimony so far taken before
the regular panel of grand jurors in
the Governments second probe into
the oil situation.
The court, however, declined to
tie, the hands of Atlee Pomerene and
Owen ]. Roberts, special counsel for
the Government. in proceeding to
make further inquiry into evidence
relating to the naval oil leases. to
see if there have been other viola
tions of law than those included in
the four indictments returned here
June 80 last. To do so would be
to grant perpetual injunction
against sworn officers Of the Govern
ment, the court suggested. The court
found himself unable to say that
from the charges Of the petition and
the sworn denial of the special coun-
Sci the present probe is merely

Quoted in good faith
Will Recall witnenseS.
Mr.. Roberts assured the court there
would be no need of a formal order.
The present inquiry will be discon-
tinued. he said. and the evidence OF
the three witnesses SO far examined
In the presence of stenographer
would be retaken before the special
grand jury and the inquiry again
started there without a stenographer
Attorney Henry A. Wise, represent
ing Mr.. Fall. contended that as the
special counsel knew the presence of
the stenographer would vitiate an in
dictment, his use was proof of the
claim that mere fishing expedi-
ton" was in progress to secure evil
dence to support the previous in
dictments or for use in the civil suits
to set aside the leases to Teapot
Dome and other naval reserves.
Special counsel denied the charge
of abuse of the court process. and as
serted that new evidence had come to
their attention which they did not
have when the first inquiry was in
progress, and asserted they would be
recreant OF their duty il they did not
lay these matters before the grand
jury. If the court thought the use of
'stenographer mistake, counsel
said, they would gladly begin the
proceeding anew before the other
grand jury panel.

Fish of 'FIaPper'
Age Is Declared
Best for Eating e

Fish have distinct ''1apper"
age during which their flesh Is
better for eating purposes than at
any other time, according to Lewis
Radcliffe, assistant commissioner
Of fisheries.
Weak fish or trout is at it's best
when it has rounded out twelve
months. Goldfish three to four
years, and salmon four to five
years" Mr.. Radcliffe said. They
are then in what might be called
the flapper ages"
Mr.. Radcliffe says 1t is not diffi-
cult to tell the age Of fish. The
indications are plainly marked on
their scales by concentric circles.
In Summer. the growth is more
rapid than in the Winter, so the
circles are further apart during
the warm weather. By counting
the circles, the age Of the fish may
be ascertained.
The acting commissioner said,
however, he would not recon-
mend throwing back into a stream
fish either under or over the
fiapper stage. After all bite
