 Effect Is World Wide
 His manifest eradication over the early evidence that the Kellogg Briand treaty for renunciation of war is having the desired effect throughout the world also is at tached to his announcement Tues day of preparations. through a commission of general staff officers. to find way to reduce the govern mcnt's expenditures for mainte- nance Of it's army.
 Still another sign that vital foun- dations already have been laid for a preliminary naval conference is N'7hftlIE'i u 'll tue DdSlS or secretary S'imson's exclamation of the prin- ciple of parity agreed upon hy Prime Minister Macdonald and Ambassador Dawes as an outcome Of their discussions in England.
 That principle of parity in naval strength as between the United states and Great Britain. the secre- tary announced. means absolute equality of fighting strength in the two navies, applying not only to capital ships and aircraft carriers. for which it was established at the 1922 arms conference. but to all 'crl1isers and the other categories of vessels which constitute those naNies."

Situation Less RcasSurin-


 London. July 26 LP-Prospects flor a rapprochement between nd- tionalist China and Soviet Russia, and a consequent aVerting of war as an outgrowth of the crisis in Man churia, were less reassuring today.
 While increasingly disturbing re- ports of border incidents emanat"d from Manchuria the question of ne gotiations to settle the differences growing out of seizure of the Chi neso Eastern railway appeared to hang in the balance.
 Moscow reports told of grave an- prehension lest continued "atroci- ties sponsored by Chinese authori- ties on Sovicet citezcns in Manchra compelled Russia to send an cxpedi- tionary force into China to reset. Soviet citizns.'
 C. r. Wang. Chinese foreign min 1ster, in a press statement at Shang- hai, said Ranking was waiting to hear from Moscow before beginning heSoiatioQs. He thought the ncgo- tiations more likely to occur at Mos cow than either at Harbin, Chang Chun, or in central China.
 Chinese to Leave
 Wang said Gnu Zao-Yans. minis t'r to Finland. would leave Nan king Saturday for Harbn on route to Moscow. There were various re- ports that Moscow would refuse TO treat with China until the Chinese Eastern railway he'd been returna To it's old status, and the status quo Is otherwise restored.
 There were reports from Man chuli that Soviet airplanes had been fired upon by Chinese at Manchuli. at the eastern terminus Of the rail- road, and that afterwards rival arm- ios rncampod on opposite sides of the frontier there had fired upon each other.
 The danger in the event Russia should send an oXpcditionary force into Manchuria, was obvious, ob- servers here commented. General fear WAS expressed that continuation Of such reports from Manchura as came from Moscow would so irri- tate the Soviet headquarters as to hullify the efforts which have been made at initiating negotiations to settle the dispute.

 The Mukden authorities had planned since January to demand a committee to investigate Chinese Eastern railway affairs because of decrease in the net revenues, accord ing to information here, and had ac- cImulated what they felt evidences Of mismanagement by the Russians.
 Mukden it is explained. had no llea of ordering the seizure and was taken by surprise. t was stated in certain Chinese quarters, when news was received that l.u GungHuan had acted upon his own initiative.
 It is believed here that the way for opening negotiations on the con- troHersy has been paved at Chang chun by exploratory conversations between General Chang Tso-Ssiane, governor of Kirin, and B. N. Melni- kov, Russian consul general.
 Returns to Harbin
 The Changchm conversations were held in a private railway coach on Wednesday and NJ. Melnikov later returned to Harbin.
 AS an indication of the feeling among the Chinese here, high m'l- itary authority declared that in the event the Russians should begin an offensive, the Chinese troops would retreat without fighting. Dispatches from Mukden say that Chang Hsueh- Jiang, governor of Manchuria, had information that Russia did not de- sire to fight. and therefore the Man Churian authorities were gladly adopting similar attitude. doing eevrything possible to open neso- tiations for a peaceful solution,

ATTORNEY SURPRISED
AT BAILIE DECISION

Following the action taken by the
Thirty eighth Continental Congress,
Daughters Of the American Revolution,
Tuesday In sustaining the ruling Of the
board Of management OF the national
society expelling Mrs. Helen Tufts
Bailie Of Cambridge, Mass, George w.
Alger of New York. attorney for Mrs.
Bailie, expressing his surprise at the
action taken by the society, issued the
following statement:
II have just been advised that without
giving Mrs. Bailie an opportunity to be
heard, the Continental Congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
has acted upon and decided against her
appeal, I am doubly surprised that any
such procedure should have been
adopted. I had frequently conferred
with H. Ralph Burton, counsel for the
D. A. r., with reference to the appeal
which Mrs Bailie had taken to arrange
q date on which it would be heard and
in which appeal expected to represent
Mrs. Bailie.
while Mr.. Burton was careful to say
that he had no authority to determine
what the Continental Congress would do
before it in fact met, he concurred with
me apparently on the propriety of the
procedure to be taken on this appeal as
involving the right on Mrs. Babies part
to be heard %' @.' .9--
II had telegraphed him last week
asking that the hearing take place after
Wednesday Of this week II possible, ow-
ing to engagements I had In New York.
The last telegram ] received from him
was in reply to mine, and which read as
follows:
Congress meets next Monday and
shall then promptly ask that at the first
opportunity your request to arrange
date for Bailie matter for latter part of
week after Wednesday be presented and
will recommend that 1t be granted.
(Signed) "'H. RALPH BURTON
Not having heard from him, I
then telegraphed Mr.. Burton, ask
ing to be advised as to what action
had been taken about fixing this
date for the hearing so as to enable me
to make arrangements to come to
washington. 1t never occurred to me.
or presumably to Mr.. Burton, that the
congress would decide Mrs. Bailie's APP
peal without affording her an oppor-
tunity to present her objections to the
action. Of the national board on her
