 "Capitallzing upon the depres- sion under the false guise of econ omy,' Mir Sewers said, and with some success in opposing adequate appropriations for the navy and regular army. the pacifist group Is now becoming bolder in its at. tempts to influence national legis- lation and Is seeking to abolish the R. o.

London, March 16 - (UP) - The organization founded by w. P.

The statement was In reply to newspaper articles saying the British branch of the World League Against Alcoholism had failed and was being amalga- mated with the British Temperance Association.

 "The facts are right but the in- depreciation is wrong" Doty said. "The World League is moving into offices with other British temper ance organizations until the de- precision lifts, but will retain its title and identity" When Pussy foot Johnson started the World League operations In the British Isles in 1920, he predicted England would be dry in Is years.

provide for wading to 8 depth of about 50 feet.
 This will be big improvement over the beach in the past, espe- cially on the wading. Previously there was only about 10 to 15 feet of water that was available for wading. Beyond that there was steep drop to depth of water of about IF feet. The beach only ran about 75 feet in length.
 With the new plan. there will be about 50 feet of water that can be used for wading purposes and the beach will be heightened to about 200 feet. Loads of sand are to be spread along the beach, making it an ideal place for sun bathing. Those who were regular visitors at the beach last year will be surpris- ed to find that the bathing pavilion has been "elevated". That is. by ex- cavation, the workmen have lev- eled off the beach so that when 1t reaches the pavilion, 1t is about 10 feet higher than the ground. A ver- anda will afford an excellent view of the lake.

25,O00 Legionnaires
 To Combat Pacifism
Army of Speakers Being Mobilized From Every Post
 to Oppose Griffin Bl Now Before Congress

Indianapolis.-Twenty-five thou sand speakers are to be mobilized throughout the United States at once by American Legion posts, and notices have been received by Legion post commanders here and in surrounding cities requesting that such patriotic speakers be en- listed, to promote good citizenship, to support present attempts in congress to prevent the slashing of the army and navy, and particular ly to oppose the Griffin bill, now before congress. The Griffin bill would amend the naturalization laws.
 The above statement was made by Robert F. Bit, commander of Corporal Govt Post here, upon re- ceipt of detailed information sent him by the National Americanism commission. The request that ef- forts be made at once to mobilize speakers follows conferences, he said, by Dan Sewers, of New oYrk, chairman of the American Legion's national subcommittee on subver- sive movements, and Russell Cook, national director of the 1egion's s Americanisn commission, with Va rious national officers of patriotic and civic organizations which have been invited to join in the pro- gram.
 Griffin Bill Explained
 The Griffin bill, briefly, seeks to amend the naturalization laws in order that an allen can make a bargain with the government for citizenship and not assume respon- sibility of bearing arms in a na- tional emergency, according to an explanation issued by MT Sowers.
 "A year ago." he said, "the United States supreme court again decided that an alien could not be admitted to citizenship without promising to bear arms if. called upon by the government. Last

SHANGHAI, March 4.-The Chinese
national government late today rejected
the series of new japanese demands
presented yesterday as basis for fur
ther peace parleyS just as the city of
Shanghai, surrounded by war for a
month, had begun quietly to get down
to work again.
The announcement was made by 10
Wen-Kan, foreign minister.
Another disturbing report came in
Chinese official advices from Marking,
which said that a new battle was under
way at Taitsang, Is miles northwest of
here. The dispatches said the japanese
18th Division attacked the Chinese
forces there and a severe battle was
under way.
The dispatches from TaitSang
reached here by way of Marking. They
said the Chinese were putting up a
stiff resistance. Taitsang is eight miles
northwest Of Rating, which the Japa-
nese occupied yesterday.
japanese official circles said they did
not care to discuss the rejection of their
demands by the Chinese. They had re-
ceived no official notification of the re-
lection, they said, but they expressed
the opinion that if it were true the
situation was "deadlocked" and that
japanese military forces were likely to
maintain their defense lines around
Shanghai indefinitely"
japanese naval and military officials
denied late in the afternoon that any
fighting was taking place at Taitsang,
however Military officials issued the
following statement:
The japanese forces are maintaining
the same positions as yesterday, calling
