Work Resumed
Japanese troops, who were re-
pairing the Nonni river bridge when
surprised by Ma Chan-Shan's at
tack. continued their work after TIE
battle The bridge is link in the
Taonan-Tsitsihar railway, which the
japanese regard as an essential to
their military tactics.
Military intelligence agents re-
ported earlier that the Soviets were
prepared to protect the Chinese
Eastern railroad. The road is
largely operated by a Russian per-
sonnel and is nominally controlled
by a Soviet general manager in
Hardin, biggest Russian center in
Manchuria.
Gen. Ma Chan-Shan withdrew his
army Of 5000 from the Nonni valley
battle when japanese reinforce
mentS arrived from Changchun and
Taonan, although his men outnum-
bered the Nipponese three to one.
More than 200 Chinese were killed,
while the japanese fixed their cas-
ualties at SO dead and 146. includ-
ing two aviators, injured
The Japanese bombing planes
demoralized Ma Chan-Shans cav
airy and inflicted heavy losses in
the Chinese lines. Only 200 cavalry
troopers remained when the general
ordered a retreat northward from
the Chinese Eastern railway.
japanese activities IS miles south
of Anganchi greatly increased in
dications that the occupation troops
would not be withdrawn into the
South Manchuria railroad zone by
November l6, as demanded by Inc
League Of Nations council.
The position of the Japanese
troops was extended to within Is
miles Of the Chinese Eastern rail-
road in the Nonni river region. So
Wet Russia jointly controls the
Chinese Eastern and has wide in
terests at Anganchi and Tsitsihar
just north Of the japanese defense
line which was established after
the rushing defeat of Manchurians
under General Ma Chan Shan.
Thus Japanese soldiers have con-
troll of virtually all of Manchuria
south of the Chinese Eastern rail-
road, which splits the country fiom
east to west.
The plans for an independent
government were inai-
Gated by a premature proclamation

proved to be false but the estab-
lishment of a regime hostile to Mar
shall Chang, ally Of China and ruler
of Manchuria, was believed to be a

chapter is willing and ready to work
with the community and other or
ganizations in handling the relief
program planned by the master re-
lief committee.
In conformance with the Master
committees plan for using the Red
Cross and the Salvation Army as
the two major relief agencies. the
Red Cross was asked to take over
the task of handling local needy
families and those seeking extended
relief.
The national plan for relief car
ries the stipulation that relief work
be carried on. through local agen-
Cies and the suggestion is made that
wage earners give one days wage to
the unemployment fund. 1t will be
necessary for both the Red Cross
and the Salvation Army to have
more money than usual to meet this
years emergency. The response will
have TO be larger than ever.
Warren Currier, chairman of the
roll call this year, is asking those
who donate to divide their money
as they see fit between the two ma
jor agencies.
In the past, relief work has been
financed largely by merchants and
businessmen. With conditions as
they are at present, salaried men
and women will be asked to step
forward and help carry the burden.
The burden of relief must be spread
over a larger territory and more
persons will be called upon to help.
The annual Red Cross roll call
begins Armistice day and closes
Thanksgiving day. I hope it will
be the most successful in the his
tory of the local chapter"

 Rhode Islands cotton industry, generally speaking, is recovering gradually from the depression. Here as elsewhere in New England the fine goods mills are making the betetr showing Since August. ac- cording tothe Brown university busi- ness service, "the course of the cot. setback in November, has been upward" Employment in cotton mills has been at low level but seems to be rising, the business ser vice says. .a

United Press Stan COrrespOndent.) Boston, March 23.-WP)-The fine goods mills are leading New England's cotton industry out of the doldru1ns of depression.
 A United Press survey to-day showed that with modest increases in prices in this group, and a great CT volume of business likewise re- ported by manufacturers of coarse and medium grade goods, the gen. eral outlook is brighter than in years. Important sheeting mills are operating profitably, it also was disclosed.
 The fine goods industry. which for months has kept production in step with demand, reports that sales during January and February were 160 per cent of production and ship ments 132 per cent. Stocks on hand are at the lowest point in years while thrilled orders have increased 100 per cent from the low point of last year.
 Further improvement during the spring and summer is anticipated in this field since sales have reached such proportions that a scarcity im- bends in many lines. Mill men re- port that some of the largest cus- toners are placing orders for the fall to insure delivery when wanted. New Bedford. Americas fine goods center, reports an increase of 40 per cent over 1880 in thrilled orders. Mills there have been avoiding over production consistently and making output balance with the market de- mand.
 The situation in Fall River has been clarified by settlement of short lived wage controversy between the local textile council and the Amer ican Printing company. That con- cern has indicated it may reopen 4 mills within a fortnight, giving em- rloyment to perhaps 2,000. Lawrence reports q fair outlook, with Pacific mills doing good vol ume of business but at rather made quate prices.
 In Lowell the immediate future does not appear very promising, but although the Boott mills and Mer-
 rimack Manufacturing company, consistent money-makers in the past. showed losses last year, this was due primarily to the slump in the cotton market.
 The Holyoke mills unit of the American Thread company is now running at capacity in all depart ments. A recent heavy rush of or ders necessitated this speeding up. or

TARIFF UNION OF
 GERMANY AND HER ALLY AUSTRIA
Despite Determined Pr0- tests From About All Other Europeon Nations, They Will Proceed
By HAROLD A. PETERS United Press Stan COrrespondcl

ttmtc0 frcSS Stam COffeSpOnOcnt)
 Berlin, March 23.-(UP)-The governments of Germany and Aus tria moved to-day to carry through their plans for tariff union despite determined protests from various European nations.
 In both Berlin and Vienna the
 United Press was informed on high authority that the agreement will be
 put into effect in the face of all ob- | jections that it Is step toward
 "anschluss" or political union which
 was prohibited by the Versailles and St Germain treaties and reiterated in the league of nations protocol of 1922, whereby Austria received a foreign loan.
 At Vienna it was said that Austria
 would ask the world court for a powers continued their objection. Demarches by diplomatic repre- sentatives of France, Italy and Czecho-Slovakia against the pro- posed treaty were officially announce
 ed at Vienna, where Chancellor Dr Otto Finder summoned cabinet
 meeting this morning to formulate a reply. If the reply is not satisfac- tory to the three countries, they are expected to make written represen- tations against the tariff union as violating the 1922 protocol.
 Dr Julius Curtius, the German foreign minister, made a conciliatory
 move toward France. where resent ment appeared to be particularly strong. In a telegram, which was published in the Paris Temps, the | foreign minister described the Ger
 mano Austrian accord as "a useful step" toward realization of the idea
 of a United States of Europe, such as Aristide Briand, French foreign ] minister, has sponsored.

Efforts to induce the board of edu- cation to include in its plans for the new Fairlawn Manor school gym nasium have been started by the residents of the East End, it has been learned. Several petitions have already been put into circulation and. it is expected, they will be pre- sented to the school commissioners at their meeting next Monday after noon.
 The movement, according to those pushing the petitions, is not one con- cerning or benefiting Fairlawn Manor, alone, but one of inn portance to the entire eastern section of Waterbury.

Dinner will be served in the Y M c A gym at 6:30 instead of 7:00 as usual. Club members are requested to note the change in time. Because of the great popularity of Dr Myers, and because of the time- liness of his subject, repre- sentatives of the various companies are urged to make reservations early for their groups. Only 500 dinners be booked in the order that they come in. according to Secretary Treasurer Arthur l.. Purinton of the Foremen's Club.

They begin at 7:30 o'clock and are open for all mem bers of the Industrial Foremen's club
 The Putsic Friars are expected to arrive at a decision tonight as to whether Or not to accept the debat- ing challenge flung at them last week by the Square Circle Club. Both the Putsic Friars and Square Circle club debating teams are unde- feated thus far this year. It is ex- pected that a championship debate between the two teams will draw be- tween two and three hundred young men as an audience in the "Y" lobby.

Rockville, Hamilton avenue and Sts. Peter and Paul schools.
 These schools comprise the build ings maintained by the school de- pertinent in the eastern section of the city. None of them has any gym nasiums. As rule gym activities, es- pecially basketball games, are now held in the gymnasium of the Mill Plain Union church. However, these quarters are not always available, due to the great demand for the use of the gymnasium.
 The inclusion of a gymnasium in the new Fairlawn Manor school would give the East End facilities what it has been sadly lacking in up to the present time, it is pointed out. In other sections of the city there are adequate gymnasium facili- ties to meet all demands. Therefore, it is felt. the East End should be given similar equipment. The gym nasium, also. would be valuable for community meetings and the like.
