NEW VOTING HOURS
 PROPOSED FOR CITY
Continued from First Page)

from this district in announcing his platform spoke of the advisab bil- ity of change in the voting hours. He believes that hundreds of men who work out of the city and who do not return until evening are de- prived of their vote by the early closing of voting booths. It is in- convenient for them to rise early enough to register their choice be- fore leaving the city and as a re- suit there are many who do not vote at all, he feels.
 Hartford has used with success for many years the a. III. to 8 p. m. voting schedule and 1t is the at- torney's belief that the same sched- rle could be employed satisfactor- fly here.
 Should the mayor and members of the common council be in ac- cord with Casale's suggestion an ordinance may be enacted at the October session of the council which will permit of the fall elec-, tion under the new voting hours.

DISARMAMENT UP
 TO TWO NATIONS
World Farley Impossible With
 out France and England
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Geneva, Sept. 20.--No internation- al conference on the reduction of armaments is possible unless the parliaments of both England and France rati'V the proposed protocol on arbitration and security. That fact cmerges clearly from the situ- alton here in consequence of state ments made by leaders at the League of Nations assembly.
 An English journalist having ex- pressed his doubts that either the ! British parliament or those of the Dominions would ratify the proto- col, prominent member of the French delegation promptly came back with the remark that, if Eng land did not ratify, the world might be assured that no conference would he held.
 The Frcnchmen are proceeding on the theory that the London parla- ment will back up the signature of the British delegation. The French leader said;
 You can bank upon 1t that if we approve this protocol here it will not only receive the sanction of the French government but also of the French parliament"
 The Englishmen seem disturbed in a hypothetical way over entangle- ments which might possibly arise between England and the British Dominions under the operation of the protocol, pointing out that it is conceivable that Great Britain might be called upon to use her fleet against a dominion which might be labelled an aggresso" state. They argue that such a contingency is im- possible even 10 dream of. and hence they thing English public opinion will hesitate to recommend raAfca- ton.
 These are some of the misgivings which are heard so the wearied dele gates continue their struggles to harmonize the minor conflicting points in the draft protocol so as to get the document in shape for gen. eral discussion early next week be- fore the commissions and the full assembly.

 Tokio, Sept. 20.--Because of the reported breakdown in the Chekiang defense of Shanghai and the possible resultant defeat of General Lu Yung- Hsiang, said to be a favorite of the Japanese government by reason of his association with the old Anfu party. Japanrse interest in the Chinese war today was growing more intense.
 Defeat of the Chefiang forces at Shanghai would render the position of General Chang Tso-Lin more diff hcult in Manchurla in the region of Japan's most vitel Interests, Gen eral Chang has Ilade common cause with General Lu against the Picking government.
 The vernacular press today gave prominence to reports from corre- spondents in China alleging Ameri- can interests were supporting Wu Pei-Fu, military head of the Picking government. The despatches assert that the Wu Pei-Fu forces in Chihli province were furnished with arms from United States warcraft anchor ed at Tien Tsin.
 Shanghai correspondents assert American interests are aiding the invading Kiangsu forces with Ameri- can-controlled radiocast apparatus.
 Another story sent from Manchu- ria by Japanese correspondent tells of the arrest of an alleged American spy who was said to be in the em- ploy of the Picking government.
 Japanese officials declare without reservation that all the reports of American participation are baseless, but the reports are circulated by the vernacular press, undoubtedly with the idea of influencing Japanese opinion.

WAR ON MALARIA
Efforts to Get This Dreaded Dis ease Out of Palestine Now Are Showing Results.

ea0WAsso @~NRss@~~
 Picking, Sept. 20.--Chinese-Am of malaria is gradually but surely being subdued in Palestine. accord- ing to an official government re- port making public the proceedings of recent meeting of the Anti- Malariai Advisory commission. Colonel Heron, director of health of the Palestine government, presided.
 It was stated that there had been less malaria throughout Palestine in 1928 than in any previous year, and that nowhere did 1t appear in epide- mic form. This was due to some extent to the small rainfall during the preceding winter, but chiefly to anti-malarial measures taken.
 The opinion was expressed that the condition now prevailing in Palestine were tke most practical demonstration of the value and suc- cess of applied preventive malarial work.
 The government is being assisted in this work by an Anti-Malarial Research Unit financed by the Jewv ish Joint Distribution Committee of America, the Unit being in charge of Dr. l. J. Kliegler.
 Municipalities are readily assisting in anti-malarial work in the towns where they provide the necessary unskilled labor and oilers.
