stamp.
Sentiment which had been growing
in the house in favor of the Tilson
amendment appeared to crystalize
when Representative Garrett, the
democratic leader, supported it, and
was followed by Speaker Longworth.
Garrett described the amendment
as an indication of a breach between
the White House and the republican
floor leader, but declared he believed
Tilson was doing the right thing"
Having relinquished the chair dur
ing the debate, Speaker Longworth
warned the house that 1t was as much
the duty of congress to see that the
navy did not fall below treaty strength
as it was to see that it did not exceed
the treaty. Members on both sides of
the aisle cheered the statement and
this led leaders of the fight for the
cruisers to expect victory.
However, impassioned appeals by
representative Burton, republican,
Ohio. who has figured prominently in
the nations foreign affairs, and by
Representative French, republican,
Idaho, in charge of the appropriation
bill, appeared to have telling effect
and until the vote the issue was in
doubt.

LONDON IN THE DARK

LONDON, Jan. 7.-P-Officials of
the foreign office are unable to clear
up the tangle of conflicting news dis
patches from China, some of which say
the British have regained full control
of their concessions in the city of Han
kow, where anti-British riots have oc-
Cured, while others indicate that Chi
nese nationalist elements continue to
tighten their grip on the city.
The officials are inclined to believe
that the situation in Hankow has
changed very little during the past few
days. They think the tension there
may be lessening somewhat in view
of the fact that Eugene Chen, minis
ter of foreign affairs in the Cantonese
government, which has gained control
at Hankow, has called upon the busi-
ness community to resume ther activi-
ties. Advices receive dhere tend to
show that Chen is carrying out the
pledges he has given to assume respon-
sibility for the protection of British
lives and property.
The difficulty of Judging the situa-

Shanghai is emphasized at the foreign
office. Shanghafs large and influen-
tial British colony has been difficult

With the dual separation suit de-

unlikely, the 16-year-old Peaches had
no hope for future favors from her

good and would leave her mother,
