that some flyer to set out from New York to fly

IOE.NG'S IDEA

owen y. Young tells the senate that our national
communications services by telegraph radio and cable
ought to unified under ownership either public
or private. -,
Ii looks. to this observer as if ne were right Why
should we have two complete networks Of telegraph
wires across the country? What is gained by having
more than one wireless agency fighting for the use OF
the air. Night economy and improved service re-
suit from unification?
Incidentally it is worth nothing, especially by those
who are forever demanding that the government keep
its hands off of business that the conservative Mr.

TAKING CONTROL
Follow Up Decisive Victory
With Continued Drive
on Rebels.
BY RANDALL GOULD,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

SHANGHAI, Dec. IA. = General
Chang Kai-Shek followed up the
Nationalist decisive victory in the
Canton district today with concen-
trated offenSives against revolution
airy forces in Hohan and Shantung
provinces.
A, de ermin d offensive was
launched by the Nationalist troops
against the rebel concentration at
ChengchoW, in Hohan province,
about 325 miles from Marking.
Governor Yen Shi-Shan, model
governor of ShanSi province, tele-
graphed Chang Kai-Shek today re-
iterating his loyalty to the Marking
government.
Yen Shi-Shan Shansi loyalists
we're directed against the mutinouS
Nationalist troops who revolted a
week ago and seized Pukow and had
threa tened Marking with an attack
near Chuchow, north of Pukow and
about forty miles north of the cap
ital.

launching of the offensiveS aimed to
crush completely the rebellions
which have menaced the National
list government for several weeks,
seemed to have a distinct effect
toward restoring public confidence
in Chang Kai-Shek.
Reports from Marking said there
was complete confidence in the
Marking governments ability to
crush the rebellionS.

Negro FIees to Shelter of
Porch, but Loses His
Bank Roll.

Bandits who ignored yells for help
and who fired shots at their victims
created a lively time for police Fri
day night and early today.
Edward Lee, Is, Negro, of 720
North Senate avenue, was held up
at North and Senate streets by two
Negroes, Friday night. He ignored
their guns and ran to $40 North
Senate avenue where he began to
ring a door bell and call for help.
Undaunted, the two bandits followed
him to the door and took $1,000
from him, he said.
Albert Johnson, Negro, of Ait
Bright street, was held up by a lone
Negro bandit in the 300 block on
Bright street. He yelled and ran
when the bandit flashed a gun and
the bandit fired three shots at him,
but did not succeed in hitting or
robbing him.
Safe Balks Efforts
A safe at Standard Oil Com
pany filling station at Oliver and
River avenues was battered by yegg-
men, but resisted attempts to
open it.
The Freeman hardware store at
1877 Oliver avenue, was entered by
burglars who took padlocks, guns,
knives and watches valued at $500.
Lockers were broken open in the
White City Aquatic Clubs boat
house, tied at Twenty sixth street
and the river, and whisky bottles
