By UntteG Press
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Chinese
Minister c. G. WI delivered to
Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state,
today the reply Of the NATIONALIST
government of China to Stimson's
reminder that China should not go
to war with the soviet government Of
Russia, because of the Kellogg peace
pact.
The reply, DR.. WI told the United
Press, stated that China has abided
and will abide fully by it's pledge
under the Kellogg peace treaty to
renounce war.
DR.. WI also said that China al
ready has attempted to initiate di-
rect negotiations with the soviet
government at Moscow to settle the
Chinese Eastern railroad dispute.
Urge Restoring of Railway
The Chinese minister to Finland
WI said, has been ordered to go to
Moscow to take up the question, but
disrupted communication has pre-
vented his reaching Moscow, accord
ing to WI.
WI conveyed his nations reply to
Secretary Stimson at p. m. today
five days after the American gov
ernment initiated its extraordinary
procedure to avert the threatened
Russo Chinese war.
China's reply came after France
and Great Britain had pledged full
support, France going so far as to
initiate the dispatch of a similar re-
mnider to the two belligerent ma
tionS.
Restoration of the Chinese East
ern railroad should in justice pre-
cede a settlement of the Russo
Chinese dispute, American officials
said today.
Secretary of State Stimson re-
fused to discuss the railroad status,
because this stage of peace negotia-
tions has not yet been reached.
But he said in reply to questions
that restoration of the status quo
ane as near as possible was custo-
mary in international and domes-
tic disputes.
Situation Still Serious
The situation along the border
between Manchuria and Russian
territory continued dangerous today,
with troops of both nations massing
against attack. Neither side ap-
parently had opened hostilities,
however, and reports OF invasion
and other aggressive acts were not
confirmed.
Through traffic on the Chinese
Eastern railway, the all-important
link with the trans-Siberian and
Europe, remained interrupted.
The Chinese continued strength
ening their control of the railroad
by further removal of Russian
workers.
China justified her action of seiz-
ing the railroad in a manifesto by
the national government at Nam
king, accusing the soviet of "a sim
lister plot to disrupt the Chinese
central government by propaganda.

Three Chicago Hospitals
Report Constant Gain in
Alcoholism Cases.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 22.-Semi-an-
nual reports from three hospitals in
and near Chicago indicate there has
been an increase in the number of
liquor patients treated during the
last few years and that the number
of women liquor patients has in
creased considerably. The reports
were made public today.
A report of DR.. Frances J. Gerty,
superintendent of the psychopathic
hospital here, said 1859 persons
were treated at the hospital last
year for mental arrangements
caused by excessive liquor drinking.
DR.. Gerty said the lowest num-
Der of patients treated was in 1920,
Immediately following the advent
of national prohibition. Since then,
his report shows, the number has
steadily increased.
At Dwight, ILL.,, the Keeley insti-
tute, drug and liquor cure" re-
sort, reported it has become neces-
sary to provide quarters for women
patients at the institute.
DR.. Karl A. Meyer of the Cook
county hospital reported last year
835 alcoholic cases were treated
there, a slight increase over 1927,
but a decided decrease over 1922,
when 1,164 persons received treat
ment at the hospital. DR.. Meyer
commented he believed the light
drinker is becoming extinct.
More massive doses of alcohol
are being taken than before prohi-

Quarters for Women

BIZ Untted Press
DWIGHT, Ill, July 22-Strictly
a "stag" haven in the pre-Volstead
era, the Keeley institute here, is
now, in the tenth year of prohibi-
ton, finding it necessary to enlarge
its quarters to care for women vic
TINS of alcohol.
"The cure" is being given to wom-
en-. as well as to men, for the first
time in history, Martin Nelson, its
secretary, revealed today.
Heretofore only male inebriates
were admitted to the institution.
Now, owing to startlingly in
creased habitual intoxication among
women" according to Nelson, it has
become necessary to erect a sepa-
rate building for feminine "toperS." p"
A new addition to the institute,
to contain forty-tWo sleeping rooms
with baths, dining room and loung-
ing room, will bebuilt for the ac-
commodation of women patients,
Nelson said.
The "white collar" class, Nelson
disclosed, now yields more subjects
for "the cure" than does the work
ing class.
The institute cared for 753 men in
1928, the largest number since 1907,
when 946 drinkers we're treated. The
business distress of 1907 was held
responsible for the peak number.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Ger-
many wrested the trans Atlantic
speed supremacy from Great Brit
ain today when her newest grey
hound of the sea, the liner Bre-

CherbOurg, France, to Ambrose

NEW YORK, July 22.-The o.
year-old record which England has
held for crossing of the Atlantic by
a commercial vessel, was yielding
to modern ship building today as
the new German liner, Bremen,
churned down the Atlantic toward
New York harbor.
Through fog banks, diverging
channel streams and other maritime
holdbacks, the Bremen has plunged
towards the United States at such a
rate of speed she may make the
Atlantic crossing in four days eight
cen hours and eighteen minutes.
That will put this new vessel
strange in design compared with
the trim Mauretania which has held
the transatlantic speed crossing
since it went into service in 1907
into New York dock at about $50

The Mauretania's speed record
Tho
White Star lines, compatriots of the
Cunard, have sent out their fastest
vessels after the Mauretania'S rec
ord. The French line has given a
challenge. The United States lines
have given a challenge.
But always the Mauretania held
transatlantic speed supremacy.
That twenty two -year-old rec
ord started slipping, however, when
the Bremen eased from her pier on
Wednesday and headed out across
the Atlantic. The days longest
mileage record for a westward cross
ing was held by the Mauretania at
676 miles. Friday the Bremen
steamed 704 miles and Sunday she
did 705 miles.
So fast is the big liner TRAVELLING
that a passenger can take two turns
about her quarterback and find the
vessel just six miles farther ad-
vanced toward New York, according
to a radio message to North Ger
man Lloyd Lines here.
Mail placed aboard the Bremen
at Cherbourg, France, early Thurs
day morning arrived here at LAC
p. m. today, setting new record
for Atlantic mail delivery by
ship and plane.
A plane catapulted from the
Bremen'S deck as the liner passed
Fire Island landed at the Brooklyn

was to bring its glorious maiden
voyage to an end later. 1t then

TAXED to the pier to transfer its
mail to a waiting truck.
The Bremen, smoothly churning
the seas with unprecedented speed
was due to reach Ambrose light at
2:50 p. m. eastern daylight time
If it adhered to this schedule it
would have completed its run from
Cherbourg in four days seventeen
