BRITAIN BACKS
j. 8. ON JAPS

LONDON, Jan. 80 G.NS0.-In
the event of formal declaration of
war between China and Japan,
Great Britain's attitude will be
aligned with that of the League of
Nations, a government spokes-
man announced this afternoon on
the heels of reports that the
Nanking government had decided
upon declaration of hostilities.
British official policy and pub
lie opinion toward Japan crys-
tallized into a virtual duplication
Of the strong stand taken by the
United States that under no con-
dition must the international set
tlement in Shanghai be endan-
gered by Sino-Japanese hoStili,
ties.
Political observers saw Britain
and America virtually in COM
plete accord vt the present time.

JAP ARMY DUE
FOR SHANGHAI

TOKYO, Jan. 80 G.N.So .
Japan is expected to send an ex-
peditionary army to Shanghai
within the next 48 hours.
This was the general belief to-
night among foreign military at
taches.
The general staff met to con-
slider the situation reported from
Shanghai by Consul General
Mural, who said the naval forces
there were inadequate to cope
with the unexpected strength OF
the Chinese resistance.
Admiral Shiosawa. in charge of
the japanese fleet at Shanghai,
said he could handle the situa,
ton, although he admitted his
sailors were at a distinct dis
advantage in the street fighting,
for which they are unframed.
The chief objection to an i'm
mediate dispatch of soldiers vas
the fact that international COM
plications would be certain to
arise.

MiddIeburg Case Takes Queer
Turn; Janitor Arrested
as an Accessory

MIDDLEBURG, Va, Jan. 80.
Search for mysterious woman
known only as "Alice" today
started authorities on one of
the strangest turns that the in
vestigation of the murder of
Mrs. Spencer Ilsley and her
maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner, has
taken since their bodies were
discovered. January II.
It is believed by. Commonwealth
Attorney John Galleher that
"Alice" may throw some light
on many angles OF the case still
unsolved.
Police started on the new trail
shortly after Alex Grayson, col
ored janitor at the Ilsley cot
tage was arrested ON a warrant
ordered yesterday by Galleher.
The warrant charges GraySon
with being an accessory and fol-
lows alleged discrepancies in Gray
sons statements.
The search for the mysterious
"Alice" was launched after au-
thorities had questioned Mrs.
Dorothy Payne Boley, who was a
maid in the Ilsley home prior to
Mr.. Ilsley'S death in Washington
on January l, 1881.
Clues Point to 3 Cities
Commonwealth'S Attorney Gal
leher has also turned his atten-
ton to indirect clues that lead to
Washington, New York and Mil
waukee.
Discrepancies in Story
In announcing he had sworn to
a warrant for Grayson, Galleher
said:
"GraysOn knows more about
this crime than he has yet told.
We have questioned him several
times and every time he tells a
different story. After / have
him locked up, hope to be able
to get the real truth out of him.

from the cottage where the muir

NEW YORK, June 8.-Trading In

who anticipated the operation OF the

ynent that this pool was now buying

which was entitled to some reaction
In view of the spectacular gains that

At the same time there was distinct
weakness in the local traction issues.
Interborough Rapid Transit IS lost ! y
