City Water To
Remain Cloudy

Contrary to promises and expec-
tations of the Ell Centre water de-
partment, FL Centrans will have to
drink cloudy water for two or per-
haps three more days, it was learned
today. There are several reasons for
Ell Centre having the "Muddy
Water blues.
On August IL there were only
$4,000 second feet Of water flowing
through the Grand Canyon. On the
18th the water rose to $4,000 second
feet. 1t takes the water nearly two
weeks to reach Ell Centre via the
canals from the Colorado river at
Andrade. 1t takes "a hours for water
to flow from the intake at Andrade
to FL Centre, it was explained this
morning. Hence the water rising in
the Grand Canyon on the IL and
18th, would reach valley points this
week.

UNION
WOULD ASSIST
KELLOGG PACT
COunci! OF Inter-Parlia-
mentary Body Meets At
Geneva.
BY HENRY WOOD
(United Press Staff Correspondent

(OUlUeu FIeSS quail OOIIcSpOllucuGJ
GENEVA, Aug. 20. U.H-Putting
punch into the Kellogg pact was
the principle item on the agenda of
the council of the Inter-parliamen-
tary Union which convened here to-
day.
In addition to the council itself,
six of the permanent commissions
of the union as well as a number of
subcommissions convened for a
week s session.
The various meetings are being
attended by representatives of near
ly all the leading parliaments of the
world.
The discussion on the Kellogg
pact will have for it's object the
creation of means for rendering it
as effective as possible throughout
the entire world.
To this end three different means
will be considered. First, develop
ment of an international juridical
organization; second reduction of
armaments as rendered possible by
the pact and thirdly the establish
ing of consequences that might re-
suit from the violation Of the pact
and the responsibility of all sigma
tory states in such an eventuality.
The conclusions reached by the
council ON the above points will be
carried back of the parliaments of
all countries represented in the
union with the recommendation that
if possible they be enacted into
laws.
Besides the Kellogg pact two
other American propositions will
come up before the various COM
missions of the Union that will meet
this week.
One of these is the report on a
model arbitration treaty prepared
and submitted by ex-Congressman
Richard Bartholdt of Missouri.
The other is a project by Con-
gresham Stephen G. Porter for the
compulsory treatment of drug ad
diets.
Control Over Trusts
Amongst other projects to be con
sidered during the week is one fol
the creation under the auspices of
| the League of Nations of an inter.
national control over trusts.
The union will also take up a
| project for the codification of inter.
national law along lines entirely
different from those that have been
employed to date by the League of
Nations and the Pan-American
union.
The council of the union and its
various commission will be in ses-
sion till the end of the month.

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 23. 'W.R
China and Russia trembled on the
brink of war today as observers
predicted the immence Of major
conflict between great bodies or
armed forces on the Siberian Man
churian border.
The predictions were based on the
maneuvering Of large units from
both sides into positions Of strategic
Importance.
Gen. Chang. Huseh Liang, youth
full war lord of Manchuria, ordered
the mobilization of the entire re-
serve forces of the three north
eastern provinces - Heilungkiang,
Kirin and Fengtein-which are es-
timated to number at least 100000
men.
Official reports from Peiping in
dicated that $4,000 Mukden troops
were moving northward by way of
Taonanfu and that in addition
heavily loaded troop trains from
Kirin province were moving toward
the border by way of Changchun.
While most Of these troops are be.
lieved destined for the western bor-
der, where fighting has been fre.
quent in the vicinity of Manchuli,
some of the strength is expected to
be diverted to the eastern area in
the vicinity Of Pogranichnaya.
Chinese intelligence Officers, re
porting on the Soviet concentration
on the Manchurian border, assert
that the Soviet Union has between
10000 and 10000 well trained
troops in position.
Large Forces Gather
Both the Chinese and the Rus.
slams have large forces concentrated
near Manchuli, near the western
border, which is the western termi
nus in Manchuria of the Chinese
Eastern railway.
Observers believe that the five
days of border clashes between the
opposing forces, none of which has

ITALIAN AVIATOR
DIES AS PLANE
FALLS in LAKE

DESENZANO, Italy, Aug. %. W.R)
1t was belatedly reported here to-
day that Captain Giuseppe Motta, a
pilot Of the Italian Schneider cup
team, plunged into Lake Di Garda
and was killed yesterday while max
ing a test flight with one Of the
Macchi-67 seaplanes depended upon
by Italy to capture the Schneider
cup from Great Britain.
1t was the third accident the
Italian Schneider cup racing pilots
have suffered. Two Of the Fiat ma
chimes crashed and third Fiat was
withdrawn because there was not
sufficient time to test it properly
before the race.
Nevertheless further tests are 60
ing on feverishly. 1t is expected
that Italy will place at least three
of the remaining planes, out Of the
IL which she. had first counted on,
in the Schneider cup races.
Italo Balboi undersecretary for
air, is returning here from Rome to
supervise the tests.
Today's tests further confirmed
that the remaining two Macchi-67
planes will be Italy's most formid-
able entry in the Schneider cup
races. The three Paggio planes, de.
signed for a speed of 4SO miles an
hour, are now definitely dropped
ewing to insufficient time for tests
and alterations.
