SHANGHAI TRADE
BOOM is HALTED
Good Business of Past Several
Months Has Dropped on Basis
of Finances.

The industrial, building and shipping
activities in the Shanghai area, which
have been on a boom business for
several months, we're reported today as
being at a Standstill.
Radio dispatches to the Commerce
Department from its representatives IN
the Far East indicate business in both
China and Japan was below the fair
mark.
Commercial Attache Julean Arnold at
Shanghai, in his report today, made no
reference to troop activity in the area.
He said Chinas domestic bond eX-
change market was weak, chiefly be-
cause of uncertainties regarding the
governments financial situation.
Shanghai banks have agreed to ad-
vance to the Chinese government
$1,8OO,00O for two months, to meet the
annual New Year settlements. The
general situation, according to Arnold,
continues undetermined, although with
a considerably more hopeful outlook
than last week.
No improvement was noted by Arnold
in the Manchurian trade situation,
which for months has been stagnant.
He reported that the Peiping- -Mukden
Railway is not yet in operation. Japa-
nese authorities are reported to have
announced that this railway was to be
divided at Shanghaikwan, the northern
section to Mukden to be called the
Fengshan Railway and to be under di-
rection of an official appointed by the
Chinese governor of Liaoning Province
Commercial Attache H. A. Butts, at
Toxic, advised the department 1t was
generally expected that trade in Japan
would be dull until after the general
election during the latter part Of Feb
ruary. He said the fluctuating exchange
was causing concern to importers and
exporters, but it was rumored the gov
ernment was investigating methods to
bring about the stabilization.

ARMY AMMUNITION
IS FOUND IN POTOMAC

The finding of 80 boxes of Army As
caliber automatic cartridges today in
the Potomac River near the sea wall be-
tween the polo field and the Arlington
Memorial Bridge, provided the United
States Park Police with new mystery.
The police believe the cartridges were
taken from Army sources, but the al
legged thief was unable to sell them
with the Army markings and so they
were dumped into the Potomac.
John S. Ward of the United States
Engineer Office, working on the new
sea wall. reported the finding of the
ammunition Sergt. L. G.. Purtlebaugh
and Officer w. j. Hammond OF the
United States Park Police received the
package from Ward. Upon being
opened it was found to conatin 81
boxes with 20 cartridges in each box;
They were put up at the FranK1ord
(Pa) arsenal, Army lot No. 100, am
munItion lot No. 402, and are described
as the most up-to-date ammunition.
United States Park Police notified
Metropolitan Police headquarters, Fort
Myer, Va, and the headquarters com
pany stationed at Eighteenth and e
streets in an effort to trace the am
munition.
A soft gray hat with black oano
was picked up near the spot where
the ammunition was found, but there
was no evidence as to its ownership
The hat and the ammunition are at the
headquarters of the park police.

Japan to borrow much from Europe

Search Is Shifted.
Practically the entire flotilla Of the
British Navy which was searching for
the M-2 was moved to a new location
today, eight miles away from the spot
previously searched
Although hope for rescue of the three
score members of the submarines crew
was almost entirely given up because
the time limit of the supply of oxygen
in the ship was practically expired the
shift was made because of the tragic
possibility that the search OF the last
two days may have been conducted at
the wrong place.

There might be a possibility of the
men getting out through the torpedo
tubes, but if these are jammed this
avenue of escape would be shut off,
at least for the majority of the crew
Should the compressed air systems of
the M-2 be disabled the chances of
escape would be further reduced
Uncle Sans latest submarines have
two escape matches, one forward and
one aft, which are all on the top side,
and there is additional chance of get
ting out through the torpedo tubes. 1t
is necessary to build up air pressure
in the torpedo tubes to equalize the
sea pressure, to enable the crew to get
out by this method.
The United States Navy issues two
lungs" for each man aboard it's sub
marines. and these are stored equally
in the forward and after parts Of the
vessel so that in case one section be-
comes disabled, the escape apparatus
will be available in the other. 1t is
considered possible that in the M-2 the

one section, which has now become in
accessible.

BELIEVE M-2 FLOODED.
L. S. Naval Experts Advance Theory
Hull Was Not Closed.

American naval submarine experts
believe that the British M became
completely flooded as she was sub
merging, through oversight in failing to
close some opening in the crafts hull.
The downward propulsion Of the craft,
they explained today would cause tons
of sea water to rush into the hull,
through an opening left inadvertently
unattended, before anyone could rectify
the error.
The disabled British submarine is
apparently equipped with the Davis
submarine rescue apparatus, which is
standard in the English Navy and is
similar to the lung" which was de-
can Navy Naval officials here said
that in the Davis apparatus there are
two small oxygen TASKS, forming an
integral part of the apparatus. The
American lung" does not have these
two small TASKS, but obtains its
oxygen supply from large oxygen bottles
installed on submarines.
The American lung can also be
used to protect the crew from chlorine
gas, which may be encountered in the
compartments, if the batteries become
flooded In addition, the American
submarines are furnished with subma-
Ilile l6NpIlELOiS, "IllCIl kJIOLSCI against
the gases that may be encountered
before the crew could escape.
Pressure Must Be Equalized.
Unless conditions are such that pres
sureS within the submarine can be
equalized with outside pressure, enab-
ling escape matches to be opened, the
lung apparatus cannot be used, except
for breathing purposes, within the craft
It's use in the latter case. however,
would be limited by the small volu-
metric capacity in the oxygen TASKS"
the experts here said
American naval authorities in Wash
ington put forth one theory that the
M-2, which carries a small hangar for
its airplane on the top side. turned over
while submerged and that the sulphuric
acid from the batteries spilled out, and
when mixed with sea water caused chlo-
rine fumes. which disabled the crew.
The explanation is put forward that
the hangar became flooded suddenly,
causing the undersea craft to be in
Verted and thus settle on the ocean
floor. If this be true, they explained,
the escape matches are rendered in
operative by the position of the sub
marine, this preventing escape by the
