President Plans
To Spend Vacation
Somewhere West

President Coolidge has practically
made UP his mind to spend his
vacation during the coming Sum
mer somewhere in the West. He
has not yet decided just where in
the West he will set up the Summer
White House.
The President has before him
offers of Summer homes in practi-
cally every State from Michigan 10
the Pacific Coast. Many Of these
offers have attractions and all will
be given serious consideration. but
at this early date he has no idea
just what spot he will pick.
The President Is determined to
select a place of high altitude. at
least sufficiently high TO guarantee
a healthful and comfortable life
during the Summer months.

| GENEVA, March S.-Great Britain
is not trying to form a league against
Russia, Sir Austen Chamberlain in
formed the press today.
| The British foreign secretary. who
is here attending the sessions of the
! council of the League of Nations.
called newspaper men together to make
| this statement after reports had been
| circulated that Great Britain had in
| spired the Italian ratification of the
| treaty by which the annexation of
Bessarabia to Rumania Is guaranteed
| by the allies.
Sir Austen declared that the allega-
| lions that Great Britain is seeking to
encircle Russia, although emanating
| from various capitals. always have
been inspired from the same source
| implying the Soviet union.
Russia Is Accused.
accused Russia of pursuing a policy
openly hostile to Great Britain. which
has continued to maintain diplomatic
relations with the Soviet government
rather than introduce an element of
instability into the European situa-
ton.
He admitted there had been some
talk about the Bessarabian treaty at
his recent meeting with Premier Mus.
solini of Italy. He emphasized, how
ever, that his only intention was to-
attempt to promote British interests
by embroiling other nations.
Italy announced her ratification of
the treaty today.
The announcement Is of the great
est political importance, since Italy's
ratification puts the TREATY into force.
The treaty, signed on October %,
1920, and already ratified by Great
Britain and France, stipulates that 1t
shall become operative when ratified
by three of the signatories.
Not Hostile to Russia.

not to be construed as q hostile act

| He explained that the Rome gov

| hopes that Russia and Rumania
would reach an amicable solution of

| The Italian announcement carried
especial interest in that 1t comes at

| The impression exists in Geneva

the elaboration of a united Europea n

being hostile, would be calculated to
induce her to enter normally into the

SHANGHAI, China. March S.
Shanghai's Northern defenders, under
Gen. Chang Tsung- Chang, today found
themselves faced with a new menace.
The Cantonese have strongly occu-
pied Wuhu, about IS miles up the
Yangtze from Marking and roughly
200 miles west of this city.
The definite alignment of Chen
Tiao-Yung. governor of Anhwei Prov
ince, with the Cantonese, taking with
him the Southern Anhwei forces. has
compelled Gen. Chang, while standing
off the Cantonese in Kiangsu, to wheel
about and guard his rear against the
new menace toward Marking.
Radical Labor Plans Strike.
Labor elements In Shanghai are en-
gaging in terrorist methods in prep
aration for general strike, which,
it Is charged by the Northerners, is
being instigated by the Cantonese.
In the past "a hours a mill foreman
loyal to the Northern cause was killed
and another wounded.

flying throughout Wuhu. Chen Tiao-
Yung Is concentrating his forces in

Chekiang, and adherents Of the Kuo-
mintang claim that the combination
holds Anhwei Province as far north
as Luchow.

Indications are multiplying that the
problems of defending his 600-mile
line of communication from Shanghai
to Tsinanfu against the Cantonese
penetration tactics, propaganda and
infiltration of unarri,ed troops as well
as military weapons, may be beyond
the resources Of Chang Tsung- Chang.
II is impossible to foresee what
may happen in view of the manifold
and confused factors involved, includ-
ing the possibilities, ever present In
Chinese warfare, that compromise or
treachery in one form or another may
decide the issue.
