SAN DOM|NGOB BUYS
p SITE FOR LEGATION
Building, to Cost $4,000
to Be Erected on Massa-
chusettS Avenue.

The Dominican Republic has pur-
chased a site on the north side of
Massachusetts avenue between Twenty
fourth and California streets for the
erection of a legation building to cost
$150,0O0. it was announced today.
Senior Angel Morales, Minister to the
United States from the republic. this
confirmed reports that the
Dominican government had purchased
this site and planned to erect the lega-
ton building to cost approximately
S150,000. Plans for the structure are
to be drawn shortly and construction
is to be started some time next year,
under present arrangements.
Site Has 10O-Foot Frontage.
The site. having a frontage of about
100 feet on the avenue and depth OF
about 125 feet, was acquired through
the office of Mayo g. Wright from Mrs.
Elizabeth Van r. Frazer. The site is
JUS west of the home of DR.. Stanley
M and Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart.
Massachusetts, avenue has been LOOM
ing UP in the past several years as
the new Embassy row." which in
former years was claimed almost ex-
clusively by Sixteenth street. where an
impressive NUMBER Oh embassy puu0.
ings are.
The trend to Massachusetts, avenue
received impetus with the acquisition
Of the site there for the large and
costly new home of the British en-
bassy. near Observatory Circle, which
now is well under way.
Several other new embassy and lega-
ton sites since have been selected on
Massachusetts, avenue, nearer the down.
town area than the British embassy
home.
Japan Has Bought Site.
Only few days ago it was learned
that the japanese government had
acquired through the Offices Of Mayo &
Wright and Story g. Co. an extensive
site just west Of $500 Massachusetts
avenue. running back to adjoin the
Rock Creek and Potomac parkway.
The new home of the Austrian lega-
ton was completed recently on the
avenue in this section near the FASH
ionable Sheridan Circle and previously
the new homes of the Egyptian and
Czechoslovakian legations were on this
thoroughfare.
A number of other homes of the
representatives of foreign governments
previously were in this section.

EAST SITUATION TENSE.
Troops Concentrated But Hope to Avert
War Not Abandoned.

LONDON, July 10 CP).-The menace
Of war hung over Northeastern Asia to-
day with tense situation rapidly de-
veloping which easily could involve Rus
STA and China In a battle for supremacy
In Manchuria.
European correspondents in the af-
fected area reported large concentra-
tons of troops, both Chinese and Rus
sian, at frontier points on the Chinese
Eastern Railway. seized last week by
Manchurian authorities.
There was admitted danger OF border
clashes in the propinquity of these
armies. Such incidents conceivabiy
could precipitate both home govern
ments into deadly and disastrous con-
flict
Little If anything indicated the actual
peace of the two countries has been
broken, the current crop of runlors of
border incursions and repulsss lacking
confirmation from any source. Except
for frontier clashes there was some dis
inclination to believe the serious situa :
ton which has developed inevitably
meant war.
Situation Still Hopeful.
The National government of China,
Marking dispatches said, viewed the po-
stion as grave. but not hopeless. Presi-
dent Chang Kai-shek presided yester-
day at meeting of National leaders to
discuss the situation. What took place
was not revealed.
Traffic on the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way has come to standstill except for
the extensive troop movements. Crowds
of Chinese have blocked routes from the
border towns eastward and to the south,
while Russians in Manchuria are try
ing to reach Siberia either to the west
or the north.
Thousands of Russians in the interior
OF China were reported as anxious to
leave the country to escape internment
In the event of war. Other Russians
whites said to number 10000, and
accepting the White Leader Ataman
Semenoy as their spokesman, were said
to be anxious to wage war against the
Soviet.
The Japanese government made ar
rangements for the protection of its
nationals in the threatened area and
kept vigilant eye on every happening
with the possibility of Japan becoming
involved in the conflict in military
way. The japanese general staff was
said not to expect war.
Take Over Interests.
The German consular and diplomatic
officials have or are taking over the
Russian interests in China and Man
churia. and Chinese interests in Rus
STA. The foreign legations at Peiping
were represented as watching develop
ments closely, without assuming war
was inevitable.
Little news emanated from Moscow
and there was nothing in such dis
patches as were received to indicate
any war-like action was being prepared.
The usual Russian censorship on press
dispatches from Moscow was UNDER
stood to be in force.
japanese dispatches said martial law
had been declared in Hardin, capital
of Manchuria, and the death penalty
threatened for any one spreading
alarmist reports. Newspapers were
strongly censored.

GALES MAY DEFY
THREAT OF ARREST
Plans to Travel Through
Texas, Despite Old Charge
of Officers Murder.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, July 19.-Accounts
published In Mexico City newspapers
today that Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales
would leave here Saturday by train for
New York, passing through Texas en-
route, caused surprise In some circles
where the threat Of John A. Walls, for
mer district attorney at Laredo, Tex,
to arrest him on a murder warrant was
remembered.
The Mexico City accounts today said
Gen. Gales would leave New York on
the Tile de France July 26, to spend sew
eral months in Europe, during which
time he will rest and seek relief from an
illness which has bothered him for some
time.
Previously It had been understood he
would go to Tampico and take a ship
to New York by train from that city.
Last August Walls, who is now a Judge
at Laredo, accused Gen. Gales and the
late Gen. Alvaro Obregon Of completely
in the assassination of two Mexican
army officers in Laredo in 1922. Walls
said that while Gen. Obregons assas-
arresting him, the prosecution against
Gales and his fellow conspirators will
remain pending with the fervid hope
that some day they will be called upon
to answer for their enormous crimes at
the bar Of public justice in Webb
County"
Wallis statement was made as the re-
suit of an exchange Of correspondence
with the State Department at Washing
ton growing out of the threat of the
Mexican government to remove its con-
sulate from Laredo because of preju-
diced handling of cases in which they
were interested.

PAPER SAYS CHINA
CAN'T AFFORD WAR
Suicide of Nationalist Power
Seen in Armed Conflict
With Russia.
By the Associated Press.


PEIPING, China, July 19.-The Brit
ish-owned Peiping and Tientsin Times
in an editorial today said China did
not have the financial or military re-
sources to wage successful war against
the Russian army. The Soviet military
forces, the paper said, In technique,
equipment and training were years
ahead of the Chinese army
with Vulnerable frontiers from the
Sin-Kiang to the Amur River, it would
be suicidal for the new Chinese govern
ment to stake its existence upon the
issue of war in RUSSIA" the Times said.
1T is probable Marking in its heart Of
hearts deplores the precipitate action
Of the Manchurian authorities, taken on
their own responsibility in the absence
Of Chang Hsueh-Liang, and would glad
ly find some method of extricating itself
from its untenable position"
The paper regarded the seizure Of the
Chinese Eastern Railway as a fragrant
violation of a solemn international
agreement and added that II it sue
ceeded it was generally felt it would
be prelude to wholesale attacks upon
privileges, properties and rights Of
foreigners In China.

for the purpose of undermining the
that the Soviet disruption of traffic of
the Chinese Eastern Railway is an OBJ
struction of world traffic, and should
war arise from the present incident
the responsibility rests with Russia, who
has repeatedly, thanking will claim,
threatened China VII strong notes,
despite the fact thce both countries are
signatories to the Kellogg anti-war
pact.
The Marking government received the
Soviets second note calmly. It was
delivered to an official of the foreign
Office, who promptly handed 1t to Presi-
dent Chang Kai-Shek, who is playing
the leading role in foreign affairs.
Upon receiving the note. Chang said
that Russia's action had been antici-
pated and the Chinese government
is we'll prepared for eventualities.
The Associated Press said that
Pogranichnaya and Manchuli are Dor
der points. the former about $50 miles
rorth of Vladivostok and the latter a
thousand miles away across Manchuria.
Both are key positions to the Chinese
Eastern Railway. but the significance
Of their occupation is believed to be of
political rather than of military i'm
portance.
Neither place is of industrial or COM
mercial importance. Pogranichnaya is
mere cluster of houses around
station. A mile and a half to the west
of the station. on the actual border be-
tween the maritime Province of Siberia
and Kirin, Province of Manchuria.
there is settlement of Koreans who
live in very primitive fashion.
Manchuli is definitely in Manchuria,
being about 10 miles from the border.
Posranichnaya. according to available
aliases, is on the Russian side of the
border. and the use of the word cap
ture" by the Osaka ASahi correspondent
presumably would mean that the Rus
slams had expelled the Chinese there
and taken over entire possession of the
place end control of the railway and
administration.

AIR MAIL RATE ADOPTED
BY UNION is CONTINUED
Universal Postal Congress Agrees
on Exchange of Equal Terms
Between Countries.

An agreement to continue for the
present the regulations concerning the
rates and handling of air mail that
were adopted at The Hague two years
ago, was reached at the recent session
Of the Universal Postal Congress In
London. Under The Hague agreement
every country associated with the Uni
versal Postal Union is required to place
its own air mail at the disposal of all
other members on equal terms.
The congress also went on record as
being in favor of admitting packages
of merchandise, not exceeding two
pounds in weight. to international let
ter mails at 2l2 cents per pound. 1t
Is believed that the recommendation
will be adopted by the majority of the
members of the Universal Postal Union
and will be of particular value to ex-
porters.
