CLARENDON. Va, September Ala
petition, signed by approximately SO
citizens of haywood, Cherrydale and
Dominion Heights, protesting against
street conditions following the laying
of water mains, was filed with County
Engineer G. l.. Kinnier, the board of
supervisors and the county water board
today.
"A bad leak" the petition cites, "has
existed at or near the Lee Highway
and Mackey street in Cherrydale since
March 20. and numerous calls have
been made to the courthouse asking
relief in vain"
The petition points out that recent
measurment showed that water from
this leak was flowing at the rate OF "a
gallons per minute, daily loss OF
34,560 gallons and a monthly loss or
1.636,800 gallons, which must be paid
for at the rate of "a cents per 1000
from this leak, the petition cites, is ap-
proximately 100000 gallons, making
the loss in money of $l.320.
Certainly no private enterprise could
exist long with such carelessness, in
compentency and Indifference to the
interests of the owners, and 1t should
not be allowed to exist in public
affairs" the petition concludes.
Engineer Kinnier declared today that
the water main condition was taken
care OF few days ago before receipt
of the petition The reason it existed
so long he said was because it was
thought that the water was coming
from spring and not flowing from a
leak in the water pipe. He said that
everything possible is being done by
the contractor to restore the roads to
their former condition, but that this
would take time. A road crew is con-
stantly working on the roads where
excavations were made necessary in
the laying of the water mains, he said
adding thst it must be remembered
that the fills must be given time to
settle before the final surface coat can
be applied

.SNANTUNG TROOPS
GIVE Up BATTLE
Surrender to Manchurians
Hailed as New Step in
Chinese Unity.
BY the Associated P-ess.

SHANGHAI, China, September 21.-
Advices from Manchuria today reported
surrender OF the remnants of the
Shantung- Chilli army to the Man.
churian commander, Gen. Yang Yu-
Ting.
This news was hailed in Shanghai as
uniting China for the principles of Sun
Yat-Sen The fact that the Manchu-
rians co-operated so closely with the
Nationalist, under Gen. Pal Chung
Hsi in wiping out the last organized
recalcitrants, showed how strong hold
the Nationalist cause has in Manchuria.
The surrender also marked the pass
ing from power of Gen. Chang Tsung
the picturesque ex-governor Of Shan
tung. who rose from coolie laborer in
Hardin to the leadership of one OF the
important sections of China. He had
hoped to fortify himself in Shantung
after Picking fell, but his plans went
awry when his Srbordinates began cast
ing their lots with the Nationalist.
Detection Is Blow.
this month when the local commander
at Tsingtao went over to the Marking
government and took his troops with
him. This major detection occurred just
as Gen. Pal was taking the field with
100 900 Nationalist, after announcing
to all foreign legations that the time
had come to "clean up" the territory
south of the Great Wall.
Onlv about SO. 900 followers remained
]oval to Chang then and with Pal drlV-
ing him from the South and Yang
blockading Northern lines OF retreat, he
was caught between the upper and
neither millstones. Nevertheless, Chang
went to the front after bidding fond
farewell to his % wives and concubines.
There was community of interest
between the Manchurians and Ma
tionalists in this campaign, also in the
fact that Chang's men held porto .
of the Peking- Mukden rail connections
north of Tientsin. This road had not
been functioning since Chang Tso-Lin
used it to flee from Picking on the train
in which he met death when 1t was
bombed on the outskirts of the Man
churian capital. With the North China
lines under Shantung control. there was
no connection between the more South
ern lines and the trans-Siberian rail-
way.
10000 Captured.
, Changs $4,000 were speedily pressed
back by Pals troops. Within 10 days
of the start of the campaign, 10000
had been captured and disarmed and
Chang had fed across the Gulf OF
Laiotung to Dairen.
The final fighting was near Anshan
on the Tientsin- Mukden Railway. 1t
was against the Manchurians and its
severity was attested by the fact that
the victor's wounded alone totaled at
least 5000 There were not many OF the
Shangtung recalcitrants left when they
! finally decided to give up.
