League Awaits Appeal

BY OSCAR WATSON
Cable Editor The Associated Press)

tCabie Editor The Associated Press)
Japan took steps last week to plant
her feet firmly in the soil of Shan
tung Province, Shantung, China.
Tsinan. the capital, was cleared OF
nationalist troops, coatrol OF the
Shantung railway was taken over and
administration Of the city was placed
in the hands of the Chinese Chamber
of Commerce.
The battle between the Japanese
and Chinese lasted several days, and
IN the end the japanese were in com
plete control. Both sites paid the
price in heavy casualties.
Although the Marking nationalist
government appealed % the league Of
nations al Geneva charging Japan
with violation Of China's territorial
integrity and independence, the Nip
pom government continued its war
like preparations, and large con-
tingents Of men and ships are pro-
cceding TO China.
Appeal to League
The northern dictator, Chang Tso-
Lin. issued an appeal TO all the
people for unity and the cessation
Of hostilities. He charged commun-
lists with responsibility for the pres
ent civil war and feared impairment
Of China's relations with the powers
because Of the foreign interests IN
volved.
What the league of nations will do
in the affair has not heCn disclosed
even decided for the protest from the
Marking government cannot be OIL
ficially recognized unless some other
government-the Peking government
or some other member az the league
adds its voice TO the appeal.
While the Geneva statesmen arc
having a lively discussion over the
Si~no-Japanese situation, the various
governments who have large inter-
ests in China have been silent. in
dicative probably Of the uncertainty
of Japan's intentions. although the
Japanese premier, NJ. Tanaka, m
structed the competent authorities
at Tokyo to take steps 10 settle the
affair by diplomatic means.
Carol Ordered Out
Former Crown Prince Carol Of Ru-
mania, who issued a manifesto eX-
pressing his intention 10 return to
Rumania at the call Of the people,
was ordered TO depart from England
by the home secretary, Sir william
Joynson-Hicks. Carol Nas a guest at
the surrey residence of a yellow
countryman. His manifesto appeared
about the time MANY thousands Of
Julia and other cities in a vast
demonstration against the admins
tration under Premier BratIanu. II
was supposed at first that the peas
ants in their assemblies would en-
gage in an active demonstration for
the ousting Of the premier, but moth
ing of this kind happened, and they
returned to their farms and their
work-and Bratianu remain IN con-
troll.
Great Britain, whose spokesman
was Sir Austen Chamberlain, for
cign secretary, announced her de-
sire to cooperate with the United
States government in putting into
effect Secretary of State kelloggs
pact for outlawing wal. The British
dominions are yet to he heard from,
and when they make known their at
titude the British government will

ROAD BUILDING |S |vOW ON NEW
 BASIS IN ALASKA
AUGMENTATION OF EQUIP MENT A. R. C., SPEEDING UP
 THE WORK

Modernization of the road build ing equipment of the Alaska Road Commission in the past few years has speeded up to very large de- gree the construction of roads, pow CT driven machinery has replaced pick and shovel and the horse drawn scraper, but without disturb ing the equilibrium of tbe labor status It has ena abled the CommiS- sion not only to build more mileage than was possible under the old system, but to build it more eco- nomically.
 This was indicated in statement made public at Juneau from head quarters of the Commission relati e to both the method and means of cOnStruction.
 THE PROBLEMS OF
 road construction that confronts the commission in Interior Alaska differ in several respects from the ordinary cases encountered in the United States proper this state ment pointed out
 '"The subsoil there is for the most part permanently frozen; 9 cOndi tion inherited from preceding geological period when the climate was much colder than it is at pres ent. Now, during the summer months, the average air tempera- turc is from 500 to Geo F. and tenn peratureS of 900 and 1000 are not rare. This warmth coupled with the exceedingly long hours of day light causes the ground surface 10 thaw and vegitation to grow and decay rapidly. The resultant thick layer of moss and dead vegitation have formed sort of heat resist ant blanket which prevents further thaWing to any great depth.
 When road builders come along and break this seal, thaWing begins anew. the subgrade shrinks and be- comes water-soaked, and for two or three years much difficulty is experienced in keeping the road open to traffic.
 "In many cases. in order to pro vide immediate service, sub-graoe of corduroy is placed directly on the messy surface without disturbing Ii the seal This method is quite sue cessful, but of course is to be avoid ed whenever possible on account ot it's high initial cost.
