The water situation has be-

to have water pumped into the
town reservoir from the river,
and it is necessary to boil all

Rising Sun is fortunate in
having a good water supply,
with four deep driven wells at
the pumping station to draw
from.

a swirl of wheels through the gates, and
three motor cars swung in, the first
and the third in line bearing blue
gowned men, the middle one occupied
by the young marshal and his eldest
son, lad of about 10. The marshal
came over to us, the blue-gowned men
scattering around in fan-shape with
interesting bulges in their veStments at
about the hip line. AS they walked the
skirts of their gown robes tapped in a
way to disclose the putteed legs of
soldiers.
This time the marshal shook hands
with us cordially, his face lightened by
&C most gracious smile as he greeted
each OF US. There were some exchanges
of pleasantries, with Tommy Lee acting
as most capable interpreter. Then
the marshal asked to be excused and
departed, with the explanation that he
was going to change his costume for
tennis clothes for a game with his son.
AS soon as he had gone-we having
been asked to remain-Several OF the
bluecoatS came across the lawn bear
ing arms full of silk in bolts--the tailoTs
call them "shawls" These were placed
upon tables and we were asked to make
our selections, each to take bolt. This
was the marShafs parting gift to his
guests in accordance with an ancient

in China. Each man selected shawl
of silk. and as we were considering
whether it should be donated or sur
rendered to the women folks at home
or kept for shirtings, Chang Hsueh-liang
came back, transformed into a young
athlete, with his bright-faced boy trot-
ting to keep pace with him.
There was the man whose quick wit
and political finesse and Shrewdness
have kept China guessing ever since his
fathers death. This was the real Chang
Hsueh-liang, not the sad-faced sufferer
Of the Mukden yamen, who leaped from
his chair at the bang of a flashlight
charge. There was another round of
handshaking and We went to our motor
cars, and as we drove out by the wind
ing road we caught final glimpse of
the young marshal dancing over the
tennis court, while the younger mar
shal-to-be. perhaps, gave him a good
match.

some American interests. The lumber
was said to come into direct competition
with American production, but evidence
was adduced that the Russians made
careful effort to separate convict-made
lumber for sale in European markets.
Coal Threat Minimi2ed.
At the Treasury hearings it was tes-
titled the Russians had chartered about
90 ships to carry pulpwood to this coun-
try, a tonnage exceeded only by that re-
ported chartered for carrying Russian
grain to England and Europe.
The Russian threat to invade the
American coal markets, while bringing a
protest from anthracite dealers, was not
regarded as serious. Treasury officials
held that little Russian coal could be de-
livered to the American seaboard, but
pointed out that it might be used to take
from producers in this country their
immense Canadian market.
Coal prices and production costs in
Russia so far have not been ascertained
nor has any success been indicated in
the other lines under investigation.

CHINA SEENNEARER
PEACEFUL PERIOD
Occupation of Peiping BeIiev-
ed to Mean Military Phase
Is Virtually Over.

~ the Associated Press.
NANKING, September 24.-Eational-
tst government military headquarters
tonight claimed the capture of Kaifeng,
capital of Honan Province, from North
ern rebel forces.
This announcement followed Ma
tionalist statements yesterday reporting
government advances against the rebel
army of Gen. Feng Yu-Hsiang. but the
latter's forces were believed to be either
retreating or planning retreat into
Shamsi Province as the result of Man
churian intervention in the civil war
between Northern rebels and the Ma
tionalists.
Previous advices from Peiping also
said Feng's army had routed the Ma
tionalists south of Chengchow, impor-
tant railway point west of Kaifeng, but
this was taken to be temporary rebel
activity anticipating the withdrawal of
Northern forces.
The Manchurian occupation OF Peip-
ing and Tientsin has been looked upon
rs virtually ending the military phase
of the current trouble. Northern forces
Withdrew from the Peiping area just
prior to Manchurian occupation.

MANCHUs PROMISE PEACE.
Posters Tell People of Peiping What
Invaders Plan.

PEIPING, China, September "a (A).-
Manchurisn troops which took control
OF this city yesterday displayed not only
hayonets but also posters describing
their invasion as being in the interests
Of peace.
The posters said the country cannot
afford a continuation of civil war and
declare the aim of the soldiers is simply
mediation.
Lennon Simpson, customs commits
sioner at Tientsin, continued to carry
on his work and the Marking nominee,
Mr.. Grierson. declared he would wait
TO take over the work as soon as trans
fer of control of the city had been COM
pleted. Simpson declared in an inter-
view he would hand over the customs
only to the official who can produce
proper credentials.
Gen Feng Yu-Hsiang faces an uncer-
tain fate. However, it appears certain
that his soldiers have ahead of them
a march of retreat to the famine
stricken regions of Shansi and KanSu
Provinces.

A generous stream Of oil continued to
flow yesterday through the single men
acing leak in the Midcontinent'S con-
servation structure, while justices Of the
Oklahoma Supreme Court pondered
what their ruling will be in case at

Arguments pro and con were laid be-
fore the court Tuesday by attorneys for

Wheat Prices Co On
 Toboggan

The price of wheat touched the lowest levels since 1914 as new evidence of dumping and short selling of wheat through out the world by the Soviet gov ernment was unearthed. A forg- ed telegram from Winnipeg stat ing the Canadian wheat pool was in difficulty and that the Provincial government was to take over all pool operations was the most spectacular rumor of the week. Investigations were immediately started. Russian wheat was continually offered in European markets below the depressed Chicago levels and it was reported that Russia is planning to dump wheat in France as well as England to establish additional credits.
