ARE RESCUED FROM

Britain involved in Open
Warfare in North and
South China.
by United Press Leased Wire

LONDON. sept, 8.-Five British
mercantile officers were rescued
from Chinese soldiers who captured
them aboard their vessels on August
80, it was said authogitativcly to-
day.
The United Press was informed
that the government had received a
dispatch from China saying that the
rescue had been entirely success
ful, y 1t WAS possible that the mes
sage forcto!d another clash between
British naval forces and the soldiers
Of Marshal Wa Pei Fu who seized
the British steamers WashnsieM and
Wanting on August 80. An at
attempt to release prisoners Sunday
resulted in fighting in which seven
British sailors were killed and -
were wounded.
According to the British version of
~" affair, General langscn. one Of
Wu's commanders. on August 20
seized the British river steamer
Wahlm at YNnyang ON the Yang
tsc. The Chinese contend that dur
ing the seizure n sampan load Of
/ Chinese soldiers was overturned by
the British vessels and that many
were drowned. The British explain
that the sampan fouled another YES
sci. The river gunboat Cockshafcr
elected the soldiers from the mer-
chant steamer whereupon the steam
or resumed its voyage.
Involved in Warfare
Great Britain today finds herself
involved il what amounts to open
warfare II the north rs well as the
south of China. The United Press
was authoritatively informed today
that for the present the Chinese
problem is in the hands of the adj
miralty and that there was no in
tention ON the part of the British
government to ask other powers TO
associate themselves with the Brit
ish acton, whatever it may be, to
settle the Yangtsc trouble. In
southern khina Britain las Just
landed detachment of marines at
Canton with the announced purpose

China admittedly is uncomfortable
and there was no indication today

Europe Hopes for New
Era of Tranquility With
Germany's Admission

Secretariat Denies That
Spain Has Submitted
Her Resignation
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. 8.-Germany was
admitted to the League of Nations
today and Immediately was elevated
to permanent membership of the
league council. The diplomatic
equilibrium Of Europe and the lea
que thereby was vastly altered.
At frequent intervals during the
eight wears since the close of the
war. Germany has been summoned
before the bar of allied or other
justice to explain, promise or to
deny. Henceforth, Germany may
be expected to occupy a comfortable
chair at international council tables
and her representatives. will speak
and argue on a parity with the rep
rcsentatives not only of the nationa
which, were neutral but those which
opposed her during he war.
Vote Six Months Late
The asscmblv's vote admitting
Germany to the league was unanl-
mous-but six months late. The
league council and the league assem-
blv sought last March to make Ger
many league member but the
wrangling debate over permanent
council seats prevented the desired
action.
With Germany's entry into the
league, Europe hoped for the begin
ming of new era of tranquility
for upon German s admission de-
pended the consummation of the IA
NOUS agreements of Locarno i'll
which the statesmen of England.
France, Italy, Poland, Belgium,
Czccho-Slovakia and Germany last
autumn pledged their various coun-
tries to peace and arbitration.
Simultaneously with its action IN
creating a permanent council seat
for Germany, the league assembly
created three temperament council
seats. thereby increasing the mem
bcrship of the upper house of the
league from 10 to 1t. There now
are five permanent council seats
possessed by the British Empire,
france, Italy, Japan and Germany.
One other permanent seat IS beng
held for the United States.

does not skip the advertisements. She
sees the shop windows and sees well
dressed women In the streets and

In spite of the much -talked-of tend
ency toward more elaborate millinery,
the business woman seems to prefer
the hat that is simple. She would
rather wear a simple. expensive little
hat that looks right than to struggle
to try to make her own headgear from
better materials.
The American working girl Is un-
usually well shod. American women
have undoubtedly learned the trick
of wearing lightweight. dainty shoes
from Frenchwomen. But the work
girl of Paris wears much stouter,
palmer shoes than the American girl
who works. Moreover. the American
working girl wears silk stockings
while the French woman reserves
such luxuries for special occasions,
wearing substantial Isle stockings for
every day.
+ Very often the business woman is
faced with. the prospect of a busy
day at her Office and social en-
gagement afterwards-without time
enough between to go home to don
party clothes. Sometimes the smock
solves this problem. She dons re-
ception or dinner frock-or even a
dance frock-when she dresses in the
morning. hides 1t beneath big coat
and slips into smock as soon as
she reaches her place of work. But
