REIGN OF TERROR EXISTS TN SiANGEiAaI
European Diplomacy Is
Engaged in AUerting a
Spring War in Balkans

LONDON, March Fl (E). -
European diplomacy today was
engaged nervOuSIy in the task
of averting trouble, perhaps
war, in the Balkans, which it
has been feared might arise
ever since the conclusion of the
treaty of Tirama between italy
and Albania.
The Italian protests to Rel
grade against alleged military
!. preparations aimcd at Albania
. have drawn denials from the
JWgO-SIay government by repre-
Scntatives both in Belgrade and
Geneva.
The JuEO-SIav government
has also invited the military
attaches of the powers to as
certain the truth of the Italian
charges for themselves.

SHANGHAI March 21. tPZThe ma
tive city of Shanghai, China's great

center, which fell into the hands of
the nationalists this morning, was
seething tonight with bitter street
fighting and turbulent riots.
Sitting on the lid of the boiling

habitants of the international settle

Guiding 1,5OO United States marines,
backed by the big guns of the large
international fleet in the Whangpoo
river. Several times today the for
eign settlement felt reverberations Of
the shaos reigning in the native city,
but tonight it was very quiet, with
it's residents obeying the warning TO
remain indoors. The situation cre-
ated by the precipitate retreat cf
the northern troops and the advance
of the southerners was one of the
greatest gravity for the foreign popu-
lation and it's defenders.
With a general strike effective and
the streets filled with truculent ma
tives, the position of the international
settlement was fraught with danger.
Shipping and clashes between British
soldiers and Chinese soldiers, possibly
retreating northereners, resulted in
the death of two British Pubjabi sol
diers and the wounding Of 10 other
soldiers and police.
There were no reports that Ameri-
cans had been involved in the fight

HENRY SOLOMON
BY Lucy M. C. Robinson

A milliner with a sharpshooter's
eye-thats Henry Solomon. In bust
ness, as in sport, he keeps his eye on
the ball. Being milliner isn't really
his fault, he never intended to be one,
and he made first class start toward
being billiardist by profession. AT
the advanced age of eleven years he
was pocket billiard champion of the
Pacific Coast, and for Is years held
the title, indicated. He was working
up through the ranks in the Famous
Clothing Company, of Portland, during
that time, delivery boy. window trim
mer-the whole route.
A good friend buttonholed him one
day and spoke words of wisdom:
Henry, If were you I'd get out of
the mems clothing line, and into bust
ness selling to women. A woman buys
ten hats while man buys one." Ten
days from that time, with his brother,
