FORCES FOR PROTECTION.

American naval forces in Chinese
waters are available strictly for pro.
lection Of American lives and prop
erty. 1t was reiterated today at the
State Department. They will not be
used, 1t was indicated, to maintain
the present customs administrations
at Hankow or elsewhere, as the col
lection of customs is regarded as a
function Of the Chinese government.
The customs treaties apply, it was
said. only to rates of duty.
While the situation at Hankow is
being closely watched and additional
warcraft have been sent there, the
hope is entertained that with the ar
rival of the Canton government head
quarters at Wuchang. across the
river, the activities of the unions in
IIankow will be crushed. If neces.
sary, however, Americans will be
evacuated. There is no American
concession at Hankow for the pro.
lection of which naval force could
be set ashore. Most American resi-.
dents are quartered in the British
French or other concessions, which
can be protected under the terms OF
the treaties of those countries with
China.
Indications are that apprehension
over the status of the customhouse
at Hankow originated through an eff
fort to unionize customs employees.
Press adviceS do not show, however,
that the movement has been complete
ly successful, and Washington Off.
cials are inclined to believe that Can.
tonese authorities. when they arrive
at Wuchang, will prove anxious to
keep the Hankow customhouse open
and doing business. Despite frequent
disturbances in connection with the
maritime customs at Canton, the Gus.
tomhouse there is, and has been, per.
forming it's functions without inter.
ference from the Cantonese govern
ment.
A surtax, not provided for under
the various customs treaties, has been
collected by the Cantonese on COM
merce moving through the port, but
its collection has been made at a Sec
ondary customs frontier. It has been
the subject of representations to the
Cantonese government by the Ameri-
can and other consular officials at
Canton.

EXTRA SHOPPING time
URGED FOR WORKERS
Head of Women's Club Federation
Asks Rudolph to Seek EN-
ployers' Aid.

Commissioner Cuno II. Rudolph to-
day was in receipt of q suggestion
from Mrs. Virginia White Speel, presi-
dent of the District of Columbia Fed
Grafton of Women's Club urging that
he use his influence to induce employ
ers in Washington to this year con-
slider more carefully the shopping
needs Of their employes-particula
the women.
Mrs. Spee1, in her letter to Commits
sioner Rudolph, pointed out that in
every city employers generally allow
time before Christmas for their en-
ployes to do their necessary extra
Christmas shopping. She adds. how
ever, that in past years it has been
customary for the employer to neglect
to do this until the Christmas shop
ping rush is well under way.
LAS Il result" Mrs. Speel writes.
many women employees have not been
given an opportunity to do their shop
ping until late December. If the EN-
ployer Is to allow them time off for
this, why not do it this year early in
December instead of waiting until the
stores are so packed with holiday
crowds that shopping is anything but
pleasure?
Our Washington merchants are
this year showing their Christmas
wares earlier than usual and the
women who do not have an early Oh.
portunity to make their gift selections
will be at a real disadvantage" Mrs.
Speel continues. "Those who, by the
thoughtfulness Of their employers, are
permitted to do their shopping now
will have a much more satisfactory op.
portunity to complete their lists than
those who are prevented from doing
their Christmas buying until the last
minute.
1T seems to me Mr.. Commissioner,
that If you would call the attention of
employers in our city, who, as a rule.
are most fair, to this situation, they
could just as easily allow their EN-
ployes the necessary time right now.
when stocks are fresh and clerks are
able to deal with them pleasantly and
efficiently. It will take no more time
from work now than it will later In
the month. l believe it would only be
necessary for you to bring this point
to the attention of our people in this
city, through our newspapers, and
for that reason I am addressing this
letter to you"

SKATING TO WORK ABOVE LEVEL
OF STREETS. VISION OF FUTURE
Traffic Forecast Made by William Mather
Lewis to Highway Engineers-Con-
vention Ends Today.

Washington people Of the future
may skate to and from work on
motor roller skates, speeding along
on streets arranged in layers, rising
three decks above the earth. This
was visioned by DR.. William Mather
Lewis, president of George Washing
ton University to illustrate his belief
that the engineer of today must have
the vision to plan for the problems of
tomorrow, speaking at the Highway
Research dinner last night at the
Hotel Washington. The dinner
served as a social respite for dele
gates to the sixth annual meeting Of
the Highway Research Board, which
will adjourn at the conclusion Of a
technical program this afternoon.
The automotive tendency of today
is toward the manufacture of smaller
cars, taking up comparatively little
parking space, DIR. Lewis said, and it
is possible, he added, that the men
and women Of a few years hence may
go to work on motor roller skates,
solving the parking problem by hang
ing the skates on hooks.
Streets may be built in layers, he
declared, enabling merchants to have

Members Of the crew of the CG-302,

Born in Kentucky some so years ago,
he has been in different branches of
government service more than 40
years. He served in the 7th
Cavalry of the United States Army s
years. At the end Of that period he
obtained employment as "revenooer"
in the mountains of Kentucky and
Tennessee. Later he drew many hard
assignments as a special agent of the

ON DRY LAW ISSUES
Holds Conference With En-
forcement Leaders on New
Legislative Program.

Behind closed doors Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury. Lincoln c.
Andrews, in charge of prohibition.
went through a long and earnest
conference with representatives of the
principal dry forces of tho country
at a meeting today of the national
legislative conference at the Raleigh
Hotel.
Gen. Andrews explained, II was
understood, the administration's pro-
gram for new legislative proposals.
particularly the one which would
set UP a private corpora tton to pur-
chase. distill and distribute all
whisky in the future.
Questioned From Floor.
Gen. Andrews was asked many
questions from the floor. At the
opening of the conference it was the
rule that all questions should be
submitted in writing, but so many
were the queries and SO long did the
questioning of Gen. Andrews con-
tlnue that it was understood the
notepaper edict was abolished
Although it is known that among
some of the dry leaders there exists
considerable opposition to the Gov
ernment'S proposal to start the dis
tilleries very shortly under q new
private corporation, indications which
came from the conference before II
closed were agreed that there had
been no heCklinG of the Government $
prohibition car.
Important Queries i'm Allegiance.
Intimations were apparent, how
ever, that in the conference were GER
tain dry leaders who were more than
anxious to ask the general some
rather sharp questions, and what
would happen before the conference
came to an end was q matter of keen
conjecture on the outside. Gen. An
drews was understood also to have
sketched briefly to the conference the
| Treasury's proposal to tighten up the
Governments dry enforcement pro
gram through the Goff bill. He spent
most of his time, however, it was
| learned. on the new whisky handling
| proposal.
| Andrews Wins Point.
] Although the seal of secrecy was
clamped tight upon the conference
this morning it was understood that
Gen. Andrews had won some of the
opposition among the minority who
were not in accord with the Govern
ment's program to distill whisky.
| Questions flew thick and fast at
Gen. Andrews after he personally
had lifted the ban on oral questions
and the Assistant Secretary was
kept at the conference for almost
| two hours.
Chief among the generals ques-
| TONERS was understood to be Clin-

committee for prohibition enforce
ment.
So anxious were members Of the
conference to prevent any word of
what went on from leaking out to
the public and the press that, it
was understood all those in attend
ance were asked to raise their right
hand and pledge that nothing would
be divulged.

In the meantime DIR. Sun died; but
his party has continued to foster the
plan to dominate all of China, gain
ing strength from year to year as the
northern government centering in
Peking became weaker and more and
more exhausted financially.
| In the north, where authoritative
government has long ago ceased to
exist and where the makeshift So
called Peking governments have been
the creatures of first one and then
another military dictator, an organlZa-
ton sprang into existence which pro-
fessed to have patriotic motives,
similar in some respects to those
enunciated by the Kuomintang- This
was the army Of Gen. Feng Yuhsiang.
known as the Christian general y
His organization he called the Kuomin-
chun, or peoples army. 1t was gen.
orally regarded throughout China as
the most efficient fighting organiza-
tion in the country.
| For o brief period Gen. Feng con-
| trolled the capital and in his turn he
reorga nized the government" suit
| himself. Eventually he was driven
out by superior forces under Gen.
! Chang Tso-Lin dictator of Manchuria;
Gen. Chang Tsung-Chang, governor
Shantung Province, and Gen. WI Pei
Flu, a military genius of central China
with checkered career. Feng was
forced back into the sparsely settled
regions of the Far Northwest and ap.
peared for the time being to be out
of the picture, notwithstanding he re-
tired in good order and with most OF
his equipment.
| With the war against Feng engag-
ing all attention in the north, little
concern was felt about the northern
advance of the kuomintang, who, al
legedly with a stiffening of active
participation of Russian instructors
and with Russian equipment, were
making rapid strides toward the
Yangtse River, which divides China
into more or less equal parts. Prac-
tically no resistance was encountered
until they were at the gates of
Hankow, the principal midYangtse
city, which they have since made their
| own.
With conclusion Of the campaign
against Feng, Gen. Wu Pei-Fu led
his troops southwark to oppose the
|
| around Wuchang, a city lying just
across the river from Hankow. His
erstwhile allies, Chang Tso-Lin and
Chang Tsung-Chang, appear to have
given him little assistance, due, it is
generally believed to mistrust and
! jealousy, and Gen. Wu was forced
to abandon both Wunchang and
Hankow to the enemy and retire into
Honan province, to the northward.
Reports appear to indicate that the
Christian general. relmbilitated al
legedly by supplies and munitions
from Siberia, is on the southwark to
| join hands with the kuomintang
This, if accomplished, would present
to the northern forces a long and
formidable fighting front and would
constitute a bona f1de civil war be-
tween the north and south, in place
of the factional and interprovincial
conflicts which have been recurrent
during the last several years.

Twenty ships secured the seas today
