TO ESTABLISH
NEUTRAL ZONE
AT SHANGHAI
British Prepare to Oc-
cupy Entire City If
Necessary.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-With 10000
British soldiers, and marines engag-
ed in a race to the Far East, tn"
British government today virtually
admitted that its military forces
were preparing not only for the de-
Tense of British concessions in
Shanghai but for the entire city rs
well, if such action is necessary.
A neutral zone extending five
miles beyond the city limits of
Shanghai, great trade center of the
Orient and haven for the thousands
of foreign refugees, will be cstab-
lished by Great Britain. it was re
ported, and Cantonese generals will
be informed that their armies must
halt outside this area.
Admitting that such a plan is be-
ing considered alphabetically, offic-
ial circles emphasized that such Il
step would be taken only as a last
resort. It's execution will hinge
upon the actions of the Cantonese
military authorities who are now
moving toward a clash with the de-
Tense army of Sun Chuan Fang.
Such a clash, which must inevi-
tably result in victory for the nu-
mericallv superior and better equip
ped Cantonese, in the opinion of
military experts here, might preeipi-
tate outbreaks which would make
the recent Hankow disturbances
pale into insignificanee, it was
claimed. The fight for Shanghai
has developed into race between
the British expeditionary forces,
about 10000 strong, now at least
six weeks away from the city, and
the Cantonese armies, marching
along front less than 100 miles
away.
While the government stressed its
determination to pursue a peaceful
policy unless British property and
lives are threatened. II was none the
less intent upon a determined de-
fence of the city in the event of Il
clash.
Will Use Force
II the Chinese forces attempt to
gain entrance to the city by force,
Great Britain, with 10000 men and
what volunteers can be recruited
from the international settlements,
will defend the city against the
millions of Chinese who might flock
to the banner of the victorious Can
tOnese.'
These forces will form a thin line
of defense stretching along the II
mile front eneirehng the city.

ment:
"Lcgisla.icn which will secure

urgent for three imperative reasons.
First, the steadily increasing men
ace of irreparable flood damage to

Arizona; second, the necessity of
the Los Angeles section to rein

which implies development of great
power to pump this water into
Southern California; third, the urg-

"Thc legislation is unique in that

"No work is to be undertaken un-
til the contracts and guarantees

"The form of legislative propos-

|S " 4 VIRGIN FIELD;
 WATER FARMING
OF DEVELOPMENT OF PLANT AND ANIMAL WAT-
 FER RESOURCES UNLIMITED

| WASHINGTON. March Is. (R)- Agriculture, or land farming, is a highly developed and specialized science. Schools. colleges, experi- ment stations, research bureaus and every other agency combine to re- duce the science to exact terms. Agriculture, or water farming, ex- ists only as a name, except in so far ! as a few practical fish culturists, now and then scientific investiga- tor or a government bureau may have developed information.
 Water farming is sadly neglect ed field, but one which contains un- limited possibilities. The plant and animal life of the waters is capable of development, increase and improv- ment comparable with the advances 1 that have made in land farming. At present for the most part, the waters may be likened to the virgin prairies and woodlands before they were dis turbed by man, except in so far as the waters have been injuriously ef- hxy h1JY, rnso Yof1 of consequence has been done to inn prove them.
 The waters are the natural habitat |of fishes and other aquatic life, certain fur animals, and manyspecies |of birds.
 For the maximum production of fish life there must be maintained a balance of plants and animal life. The adult food and game fishes, which constitute the crop, are the result of long series of relation ships, the importance of which es- capes the causual observer. Some thing more than water is required. Starting with miscropic plants and animals there must be an unbroken series of life forms leading up to the highest. That this combination may exist requires study of the chemistry, physics and biology of the waters and intelligent culture.
 So it is with other forms. including mammals and birds. The waters must be "cultivated' to produce profitable crop.
 Intelligent, scientific cultivation of water areas of the country would enormously increase the available food supply, contribute materially to the commerce of the country, and expand opportunities for wholesome recreation. Every state university or other educational institution should maintain department, equipped with field laboratories, for the purpose of study of aquatic resources and their development

Inclement weather apparently dis
rupted the plans of Cleveland Parks

coming Of dawn today found the
Fourteenth precinct with a clean

concerned.
Residents of the fashionable Sec
tion adjoining Rock Creek Park,

refuge inches ahead of a flying
bullet. are looking for a 40-day rain
in order to give time for their

Maj. w. f. CovelI. acting Engineer
Commissioner, yesterday told resi-.
dents of the section that it would
take five years for the city to COM
plete the system of high-powered
lights for all streets and alleys.
Several pleas had been made to
the Commissioners for immediate
installation of more and better lights.
In the meantime, the harassed
policemen and a score. of detectives

assigned to the case are leaving no
stone unturned to capture or

Even utilities experts were baffled
and confused by the torrent Of words
IN the Hansel prop0seI.
The very fact that it is So com.
plicated and intricate drew con.
siderable unfavorable comment.
Many observers questioned the ad.
visibility of tieing up with the
merger such controversial questions
as tripartite ownership participated
in by the Government, the manage.
ment and the employees
This thought was summarized by
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
W. e. r. Covell, who drafted the
compulsory merger bill which the
Public Utilities Commission presented
in the last session OF Congress.
No Comment on Plan
Covell refused to comment on
the plan itself, declaring that he
has not had time to read it, and
that he has not been presented with
copy Of it, although as acting
Engineer Commissioner he is q

i don't see why plan for merg

itself such a simple proposition

The companies can merge without
all that preliminary work.
They have the authority. why
don't they go ahead and merge, and
get the benefit of the saving which
is estimated at anywhere from
$250,000 to 1000, 900 year? That
saving ought to be enough reason
for merging without asking the
public for lot of other conces
