Coolidge Considers Lake Winnebago,
In Wisconsin, for Summer Vacation

| It has been suggested that If the
President should decide to Summer
in that region that he might take his
private yacht, the Mayfiower, or a
smaller Government vessel along with
him.
Lake winnebago has attracted the
Presidents eye because Of this reason,
for, it is said, small vessel could be
taken to this body of water from Lake
Michigan. Several sites along Lake
Winnebago, including the estate of
the late Victor Lawson, have been
placed at the Presidents disposal.
Before he makes a decision Mr.
Coolidge will receive the advice of
friends who will conduct a personal
survey OF the many Summer homes
that have been offered. It is unlikely
that this survey, however, win be
made until Spring has been given
time TO remove all trde OF Winter

Six Men Injured Since Out
break of HoStiIitieS, Says
Shanghai Statement.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, April 23.--American
warships in Chinese waters have been
fired on on 45 occasions and six men
have been injured, says a statement
issued today.
Since August 26 they have been
fired on II times in the vicinity of
Nanking, and they frequently replied
Red Army Sought.
Agents of the red labor unions are
reported TO be seeking enlistment of
native lahorers here for service in a
Communist army" to operate against
Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, who recently
broke away from the Hankow Can
tonese regime and termed a govern
ment of his own at Marking. Trans
portation to the Province of Hupeh
is said to be offered to those enlisting.
DR.. c. G. WI, son of the late DR..
Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese min
lister to the United States, has been
appointed foreign minister in the
Cantonese government set up by the
moderates under Chang Kai-Shek at
Nanking.
DR.. Wu is understood to have ac-
cepted, but 1t is stated that Eugene
Chen will continue to function as the
Cantonese foreign minister until the
question of the Marking anti-foreign
outrages is settled.
Ku Yin-Fuan, a prominent associate
in Canton of the late Sun Yat-Sen,
founder of the Cantonese regime, has
been appointed finance minister in
the Nanking government.
May Propose Farley.
DR.. Wu told the Associated Press
today it was not impossible that the
Nationalist fCantonese) government
shortly would propose a conference
with the powers to discuss China's
position in the family of nations and
to thrash out the extraterritorial con.
cessions and unequal treaties, which it
holds largely responsible for the pres
ent inlpasse.
It is learned from high Nationalist
sources that Chang Kai-Shek has left
the affairs Of the Marking govern
ment entirely in the hands of civilians
and has definitely launched a drive
against the Northerners.
A Chinese news agency dispatch
from Marking reports that artillery
fire from the Cantonese batteries on
Lion Hill, in Marking, destroyed a
Shantungese armored train at Pukow,
on the north bank of the Yangtze,
which is in the hands of the North
erners.
