The present Anglo-French plans

regard Manchuria as an exclusively
Japanese sphere of influence, and
collide also with the interests of the

NANKING, China, Aug. Cur
Their dissolution in the Chang Kali
shek government and evidence of
fractional struggle took place today
with the resignation from the min
istry of the treasury of T. V. Soong,
on the expressed plea that he was
discouraged because the Marking
army disarmament conference failed
to reduce military expenditures be-
low 100000 a month.
T. V. Soong has had charge of
Kuomintang finances since the be-
ginning, and is a member of the
enormously wealthy Soong family
of Canton, one daughter of which
married Chang Kai-shek.
Reduction Is Fraud.
All observers have agreed since
the plan of reduction of armies"
was first announced, that it was a
fraud, as the government of China
is not united, but is a loose alliance
of bitterly hostile generals with
their own private armies. Foreign
imperialism controls all of them.
Soong, however, mas been particu-
larly insistent that unless the mill
tary expenditures are reduced, the
Marking government will collapse
financially. This is not considered
unfavorable news to Chang Kali
shek's rivals.
Military leaders have paid little
heed to Soong's recommendations.
Simultaneously, the position of the
foreign office under DR.. C. T. Wang
has been made difficult by various
Marking officials who issue unau-
thorized statements concerning the
railroad controversy.

Aug. 2, (By Mail).-Over 5000
workers demonstrated here on In

speeches in English and Ukrainian,
and from women's organizers
marched in procession behind the
band of the 49th Battalion of re-

solidarity with the demonstration
and played the Red Flag.
The huge line of the procession
three abreast, was splendidly organ
lied, and carried banners: defend
the Soviet Union; "Class War

ing Women Fight War; etc. 1t was
made up of railway men, street car

The population here is only 10000,

parents had died years before.
Miss Pamela Tompkins, Toms
aunt, was perfectly well aware
that Tom had fallen desper-

anything. She always waited
for Tom to confide in her.
SO when he asked casually
If he might bring Patricia

her.
Patricia looked on the call
as a lark. Shed never been

When Tom ushered her into

with its red-plush furniture,

Tompkins rustled In like pic

TOday's True Romance

TT was a matter Of wonder
ment among those who
didn't know the two sisters
just why the beautiful Patricia
always went about with the
far-from- looking Nancy.
But it wasn't a matter Of
wonderment to Nancy herself.
She had long thought her older
sister the most brilliant and
fascinating Of ali the girls she
knew.
Patricia accepted her devo-
ton as she accepted the adora-
ton Of a score Of admirers,
some young, some older. She
was having what she called
her filing" and If she left a
trail Of broken hearts In her
wake so much the worse for
the victims.
This was the one feature of
her lovely sisters character that
brought a protest from Nancy.
It was rather appalling to see
so many broken hearts, so many
inconsolable suitorS and espe-
cially Tom Starrow. Tom was
poor, 1t was true, and not very
good looking, but he was so sin
cere and so honest and he was
always looking at life with a
humorous quirk that Nancy
liked, even If 1t failed to move
her sister.
It was rather pathetic to see
Tom following Patricia around.
You ought to discourage him."
said Nancy, ut isn't fair-he's
falling dead in love with you
and you're letting him."

beauty.

and gasped. Marry Tom Star

went on, II don't care whether
you marry him or not, but
why let him think he has a
chance when you know he
haSn't?"
II haven't led him on" pro-
tested Patricia. Hell have
to take his chances with the
others"
1t seemed to Nancy that her
sister after this put herself
out to be particularly nice to
Tom and 1t was easy to see
that Tom was utterly sunk.
And then Tom asked the
beautiful sister if she wouldn't
come to call on his aunt. Now
Toms aunt was a sort of laugh
ing stock in the circle in
which the sisters moved. She
dressed in old-fashioned clothes,
she wore hats popular two
decades ago and she had her
own ideas about the younger
generation.
Moreover. she did her own
work. She was credited with
possessing q little money,
