Chinese National
Troops Retreating
Before Dictator Chang

Tientsin, March 21.-(By the Asso-
ciated Aress)-The Kuominchun (Na-
tional army forces are retiring today
toward Picking with the intention of
abandoning Tientsin to troops antag-
onistic to the Peking government. The
kuominchun are drawing in their lines
toward Tientsin both from the north
and the south, under pressure or SOL
diers of Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, dicta-
tor of Manchuria, and those of his al
lies from the province of Shantung.
The Kuominchun have left only a
small force at Lutai. on the Picking
Mukden railroad, to halt the pursuing
forces from the Fengtieng district of
Manchuria. which have pressed them
hard for weeks.
Trainloads of troops have passed
through Tientsin toward Picking, sc
miles. The trains were from Tong
shan, to the north. containing troops
that had been opposing the Manchu-
rians, and from Machang southwark,
with troops retiring before the ad-
vance of Shantung forces.
Others marched in continuous pro-
cession past the foreign concessions
at the roadside, footing villages as
they went. Foreign patrols turned
back armed stragglers who crossed the
concession borders, but there has been
no serious incident.

WOULD HAVE EACH
STATE FIX ON LEGAL
ALCOHOLIC CONTENT

New York, March 21-(AP)-Modi-
fication of the Volstead act to allow
each state to decide what alcoholic
content shall be legal within Its
boundaries was proposed tonight by
Federal Attorney Buckner, speaking
at Fordham Manor church.
Prohibition enforcement can only
be accomplished by partnership be-
tween the United States and each
state" he said, 'and it is perfectly
proper to negotiate with the states
as to precisely what kind of prohibl-
ton they are willing to come in on
and help enforce"
I'm my judgment, a modification
of the Volstead act defining alcoholic
content where there Is no state law
but permitting the state to define al
coholic content for both where 1t
chooses to pass a state law, would
be of great assistance in law en-
forcement and combating crime and
graft and bribery and perjury and
blackmail.
IF you say this would lead to diff
ferent kinds of prohibition in differ
ent states" he added, II reply that
we already have different kinds of
prohibition In different states. 1t
would be far better to have the pro-
hibition law enforced in New Yorl,
state against beer and light wines of
certain alcoholic content than to
have our present carnival of crime
where we have no state law of any
kind"

Sharon, Pa, Mar. 21.-(AP)-
James j. Davis. secretary of the
United States Department of Labor,
has declined to enter the race for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor in Pennsylvania.
He made known his position in
a letter tonight to Frank Gilbert,
mayor of Sharon. where he began
life in this country as an immigrant
boy of eight from Wales, and gave
as his reason that President Cool
idge had expressed wish that he
remain in the cabinet.
II was early taught in the school"
he said, ''of sticking to the job and
respecting ones chief. The Presi-
dent has expressed to me his sim
cere qualification with my services
and his wish that remain with him
in the cabinet. One can receive no
greater recognition"
It was particularly hard for him
to decline, Mr.. Davis said, because
of his long attachment to the state.
He reviewed his early boyhood days,
told how he first worked in Sharon
driving cows to pasture at $1.25 a
month, next sorted nails at 80 cents
a day and then learned the trade
in the same mill of master iron
puddler.

Portland. March 21.-It is not a
strange or new thing that the fed
eral government is having difficulties
with enforcement of the federal pro-
hibition enactments, according to the
viewpoint of DR.. Ernest H. CHEERING
ton, Westerville, Ohio, General Sec
rotary of the World League Against
Alcoholism, who spoke in the city
auditorium here this evening at the
meeting of the temperance forces of
Maine in honor of the birthday an
niversary of Neal Dow.
Going back to.the adoption by the
people of Maine of their constitu-
tional prohibition amendment which
went into effect in 1853 and tracing
the history of Names law enforce
ment problems, DR.. Cherrington as
serted that the problems met and the
difficulties encountered in enforcing
the law in Maine and Kansas are
similarly met with nowadays by the
federal government in its enforce
ment of the national prohibiory law.
In fact" said DR.. Cherrington,
the problem of enforcement of the
national prohibitory law is only one
of the great enforcement problems

Suggest Huge Loan
Of international Scope
To Solve French Debts

Paris March 21-(AP)-A vast in
ternational loan issued by the gov
eminent, bearing 2 percent interest
but offering attractive inducements
to investors, is suggested by the
Matin as a solution for the problem
of Frances internal and external
debts and means for revivifying
the franc.
France, says the newspaper, is now
paying out more than two thirds
of it's revenue in interest on accumu-
lated debts. The reduction of inter-
est payments, which such a loan
would make possible, according to the
Mathis calculations, would provide
several billion francs each year. This
could be further used in the process
of financial regeneration to compen-
safe the buyers of the bonds for the
low rate of interest.
The Matin suggests that the bonds
be free from taxation and not SUBJ
ject to inheritance dues and that they
be received as payment on all taxes.
The Mathis proposal will be broad
cast throughout France, and outlines
of it will appear in the newspapers
of every city tomorrow.

Settlement with Mrs.
Kresge Out of Court

New York. March 21.-(AP)-Mrs.
Doris Kresge's right in certain
shares of S. S. Kresge stock has been
confirmed" by her recent financial
settlement out of court thereby
making her independent for the rest
of her life" according to a statement
signed by her husband. Sebastian H.
kresge. and issued tonight by Mrs.
Kresges attorney.
The settlement which ended Mrs.
Kresges suit for breach of promise
to fulfil an alleged prenuptial agree
ment whereby Mr.. Kresge was to
have turned over stocks to her,
valued in her suit at S1,O00,OO0 was
not influenced by any marital con-
sideration" but was based purely
and solely on a spiritual plane the
statement said.
The step was taken after her suit
had gone to trial to "avoid widening
the breach already existant between
Mr.. and Mrs. Kresge," and to pre-
vent the airing of domestic griey-
ances in a court ROOM"

ACREAGE THIS YEAR

Wakefield, Mass, March 21-(AP)-
Substantial increases in production of
feed crops in New England are indi-
Gated by reports from farmers
throughout the territory. New Eng
land crop reporting service announced
today.
1t was estimated that acreage to be
planted with oats would show an in
crease over last year of per cent. in
Maine, 8 per cent. in New Hampshire,
G per cent. in Vermont, and 25 per cent.
in Massachusetts and Connecticut,
with a decrease of per cent. in
Rhode Island.
Acreage of western corn was placed
at 10 per cent. in Maine, IL per gent.
ip New Hampshire, 6 per cent. in YER
mont, 3 per cent. in Massachusetts, z
per cent. in Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. Barley was expected to gain
% per cent. in Maine and Is per cent.
in Vermont. Spring wheat showed an
increase of 80 per cent. in Vermont and
per cent. in Maine. Hay production
was not expected to var ymaterially.
There will be large reductions in to-
bacco acreage this year, the bureau
reported, with Massachusetts, growers
cutting their crop 35 per cent. and
Connecticut growers planning a de-
crease of Is per cent.
Actual net total planting may vary
considerably from present intentions"
the report said. Shade growers clean
ed house last year by cutting acreage
and production about one-third. and
the crop has moved at good prices.
Shade acreage may increase slightly
this year. Production of upper middle
grades of Havana seed and broad leaf
has progressively outrun the demand
for some time"

owners in the Garfield Passaic dis
trict of New Jersey where textile
workers are on strike were attacked
as breeders of communism" today
by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, speaking
at the Free Synagogue. /.
"The reduction of the wage Of the
Passaic workers was from a wage
which ranks among the lowest in
American industry" he said.
If the strike is of Communist lead
ership, he asserted, it is an indict-
ment of the mill owners and their
autocratic ana ruthless methods.
Rabbie Wise said that he and sew
eral others had offered to negotiate
with the mill owners for the strik-
ers, and their offer had been accept.
ed by the strikers, but they "have
not even had the decent curtesy of a
reply" from the mill owners.
There has been no violence during
the strike, he said, except that "of
police against strikers and journal
lists"

of the American Legion today for
Steve Borisuk, a world war veteran,
today, who disappeared from his
home Saturday. Borisuk was dis
charged only month ago from the
