WARFARE
Renewed
Fighting Breaks Out In
City Between Factions
of Chinese.
SPLIT is RUMORED
Cantonese Party Report
cd to Be Torn by Internal
DissensiOn.
BY H. FRANCIS MISSELWITZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

SHANGHAI, April 12. Open
warfare broke out today between
Nationalist moderates and extrem-
lists in Shanghai. At least IL
armed laborers and one soldier of
General Chang Kai Shek's army
were killed when Chiang's troops
raided five alleged hotbeds of Boil
shevist labor unionists in the native
city of Shanghai.
Feeling was strong throughout
the city.
Considerable arms and ammuni-
tion were confiscated in the raid, it
was reported.
The split in the Kuomintang or
Cantonese party was further evil
Genced by announcement that Quo
Tai Chi, Cantonese foreign COM
missioner in Shanghai had been dis
missed by the Cantonese govern
ment in Hankow. He remained in
office, however, pending action by
General Chang, who appointed him
Chang, it was believed, would sup
port his aide to the limit.
The Nationalist army was report
ed to have stopped its retreat NORTH
of the Yangtse river and to hava
made a determined stand against
the northern troops. 1t was learned
definitely that Chinkiang was not
captured by the northerners.
General Chang Kai Shek, whose
soldiers were reported to have en-
gagged in fight with Bolshevik
laborites in Shanghai today, is the
leader of the moderate faction of
the Cantonese and commander in
chief of the Cantonese army. He
has been reported to be embroiled
in dispute with extremists in the
party for some time and recently
it was rumored he had been dis
missed as generalissimo of the
army. He was summoned to Nan
king few days ago, ostensibly to
take personal charge Of the Can.
ionese armies after their defeat by
the northerners north of the Yang.
tie river. H.
The extremists of the Kuomin-
tang have been charged with being
sympathetic to the Bolsheyist cause
and the raid on radicals by Chiang's
troops therefore was believed like
ly to lead to the most serious re-
suits within the party. y

FLIGHT MO OR
A|R-COOLED

Dispatches coming from France
carry the impression that Captain
Lindbergh resents so much credit
being given to luck for the full &C.
conplishment of the transatlantic
hop. A number Of his flying
friends in the United States are GER
tain in their resentment of granting
luck so much credit for his triumph.
They point out, as has the cap
tain almost daily since he landed
in Paris, that 1t was foresight in
choosing the best Of everything for
his flight. The captain points with
pride on every occasion to the
wonderful performance of his
Wright Whirlwind air-cooled motor.
His friends place his ability as the
more important but he modestIy at
tributes his success primarily to the
motor that purred SO sturdily and
sweetly for 331s hours covering
without murmur of hesitation
more than $500 miles, a great part
Of WHICH was through sleet, rain
and fog.
Following so closely the late
triumph of Byrd at the North Fole
and the breaking of the world Z
flight endurance record by Acosta
when he stayed in the air more
than fifty-one hours, this achieve
rnent proves beyond doubt that the
air-cooled motor will be the motor
of the future.
: Automotive engineers credit these
great flights in no small extent to
the development of the air-cooled
motor by the Franklin Automobile
Company which has developed the
air-cooling principle since its incep
ton, a quarter of a century ago.

n { " PEERLESS
IS SHORTER

Car space on the highways already
has become a great influence In the
design of motor cars. Driving Is
becoming more intricate and crowded.
and flashing acceleration that en-
ables the car owner to get out OF
traffic jams is appreciated as never
before.
Charles A. Tucker, general sales
manager of Peerless, states that
smaller, safer and better cars are
being produced to meet the changing
conditions that have become 80 ap-
parent in the last few years.
"No automobile manufacturer
dares to ignore the conditions that
modern traffic has brought about, I"
says Mr.. Tucker. Shorter cars are
needed to make parking easier and
to make driving in speeding traf-
fic safer. More efficient and highly
economical motors are necessary
to keep driving costs down. And
above all there must be cars that
women find easy to handle.
I'VE have just announced a new
fundamentally better Peerless that
has been in the experimental state
| for two years. This model, which is
known as the Six-60, is built on q
short but extremely rugged chassis
and is powered with one OF the most
powerful six-cylinder motors for its
size ever developed.
This model is selling at the low.
est prices ever placed on a Peer.
less" @
The whseeibase Of the Peerless
Six-60 is 116 inches. Ross cam and
lever steering and Thinker bearings
in the front and rear axles are
standard. Like all Peerless skies
since 1923 the Six.60 motor has a
seven-bearing craukshaft. Motor re.
finements include oil, gas and air
cleaners, Nelson Bohnalite pistons
and "ring-true" bearings.
Extra long spring suspension and
snubbers add to the comfort of
riding in this Peerless model.
A roadster. phaeton, sedan and
roadster-coupe are available in q
variety of color combinations that
follow the seasons trend. toward
| lighter colors.
