dispatches from Kirin today.
The news agency reported that
the Shanhaikwan incident had Civ
en- impetus to movement among
citizens of Mongolia to found a
new government and sever their
oppressive relations with China"
The belief was general among To-
cal observers that Japanese troops
would be made available to assist
in the launching of a government
in Mongolia similar to the jap

HARDIN, Manchuria, Jan. 7. -

SHANGHAI, Jan. 7 ,U.p)-Marshal
Chang Hsueh-Liang, young Chinese
war lord charged with defending
ShanhaikWan, was censured today
by the vernacular press for "leav-
ing only a small garrison at Shan
haikwan and making its capture
by Japanese easy.'
Failure of the League of Ma
tions to settle the Manchurian dis
pute also drew attacks from the
press, editorials branding it as nov
impotent and useless in settling the
aggressions of japan against Chi
na."
Because of the criticism aimed
at Chang, it was reported that he
might shortly be withdrawn as
commander in the Shanhaikwan
area.
The attitude of the press was in
terpreted as indicating that Chi
nese leaders have decided to take
more determined stand against
Japan instead of relying upon the
league to settle her controversy
over Japanese occupation of Man
churia.
Heavy Chinese troop movements
from Wuning and Lincop to points
along the Great Wall weer reported
today.
Japanese military commanders
in charge of troops occupying
Shanhaikwan continued to dispatch
protests to the Nanking govern
ment against alleged looting of
homes in the captured city. 1t was
feared the japanese protests would
result in further clashes.
The local press charged that the
Japanese would use their allega-
tions of looting as an excuse TO
send soldiers into Jehol province.

LOAN BODY EYES
416 REQUESTS

In the two weeks the local
office of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation has been open, thou
sands of persons seeking aid have
been interviewed, applications
have been received from hun
dreds, and the applications of
416 are in practically final form
for review by the corporations
board.
Charles A. Jones, manager Of
the District branch, said that in
the original interviews with ap-
plicants it is almost always posi-
BILE to learn whether the person
can be helped under the terms
of the act. Those who can be
helped, he said, file their appli-
cations and an appraisal of the
property is ordered and a char
acter review of the applicant is
obtained.
One woman applied for aid,
claiming she was in distress. Mr..
Jones related, but a subsequent
investigation disclosed she was
the owner of nearly 20 pieces of
real estate and now has an ap-
peal on file with the tax assessor,
covering the properties.
This type of person, who wants
to borrow money for purely
speculative and investment pur-
poses, is rare, Mr.. Jones said.

NAVAL BUILDING
WILL PROVIDE
JOBS SOON
Work to Begin This Week Will
Employ Thousands; Other
Projects Are Rushed
By International News Service

The first of the new ship con-
tracts for fighting vessels of the
Unit ID States Navy will be signed
this week, giving work directly
to thousands of workers, and
indirectly to other thousands, it
was announced by the Public
Works Administration today.
After signing these contracts,
the Navy will be in the market

fittings, auxiliaries and other
materials, giving employment to
workers in manufacture of pumps,
blowers, motors, fans, air ports,
watertight doors, electrical fit
tings, and other ships gear.
Secretary Ickes said with some
pride that after less than eight
weeks of preparation, actual con-
struction work, for unemployment
purposes, is under way. Over
weekend reports showed 900 public
roads projects furnishing employ
ment to $1,000 men were pro-
crossing in 19 States.

"Staff" and "Fritzie," Dog Heroes Of War;
Buried Side by Side; Bull Terrier Lies
Under $500 Marker

World War, who was shot literally
to pieces by German shell and re-
covered through the skill of French
surgeons, and his mate, "Fritzie, !"
who died six years after "Staff"
was placed under the sod, still
carrying two German bullets in
his shoulder. The dogs were
owned by an officer of the Ameri-
can Army.
The simple white marker over
the tomb of pal" Scotch collie,
bears the inscription:
"He preferred death to life
without his master"
The dog was owned by Eric
Matus, carpenter, who with his
wife. lost his life by drowning in
the Potomac River several yeals
ago. Only pal" and a 4-year-old
daughter of the couple survived.
"Pap was pining away and when
friends of the couple found in
MatuS' effects a note asking that
PAP be destroyed at his masters
death, foretelling exactly how the
animal would conduct himself, the
Animal Rescue League put him to
death. Mr.. Birney furnished the
burial plot and funeral and Ver-
mont tombstone concern supplied
the marker.
Funeral Costs $1,000
There is a slab of expensive
Maine marble marking the grave
of "Bootsie," pet bull terrier of
Stephen A. and Florence K.
L'Hommedieu. The slab is said
to have cost $500 and the total
funeral cost amounted to $1,000.
The tombstone of Major"
bearing the inscription Born a
Dog and Lived a Gentleman" was
once depicted in Ripley's famous
Believe 1t or Not feature.
The Birney's themselves feel
consolation in the proximity of
the remains of "Flapper" the
champion bull terrier of Aspin-
Hill kennels who died in 1928 and
is commemorated with a hand
some stone.
The cemetery was started on a
modest scale 10 year ago, Mr..
Birney explained and since has
grown to the third largest in
America.

j. s. SENDS OUT
1885 BUDGET
CIRCULARS
No Hint of Further Cuts Made;
Commerce Dept. Fund Now
Put at $29,OOO,OOO

Circulars for the 1885 budget
made their appearance in Federal
offices today.
They gave no indication that
further budget cuts are probable.
They differ from last years cir
culars in the elimination of two
relatively unimportant items.
Now S29,OOO,OOO
It has been evident for some
weeks that in those departments
and offices where reorganization
and staff cuts have been COM
pleted, the reduction process has
gone as far as planned at this
time.
In the Commerce Department
the original goal of a reduction to
a $26,000,000 annual expenditure
was not reached, and it was de-
cided to stand pat on a basis of a
$29, 100000 expenditure, the feel
ing being that departmental &C.
tivities wc' Id be crippled by fur
ther cuts.
Further, it was expected that
rising business activity would
justify keeping the department
on that basis, rather than going
through with the original pro-
gram. The budget bureau as
sented to the change.
Just About Balanced
Conditions have been similar
elsewhere. for the ordinary ex-
penditures of the Government
have been reduced to approx
mately a balanced budget.
The great expenditures of the
Public Works program and the
e ergency organizations, of
course. are not included in the
ordinary expenditures.

only one of its kind south of New

of more than 1000 families.
The Aspin-Hill Cemetery, it is

Six horses, a score of kittens,

and evergreen.

;.lso are the proprietors of the
cemetery and they recite interest
ing tales of the history of the
strange institution.
PathOs Marks Rites
Musing on his experiences with
his odd cemetery, Mr.. Birney said:
"YOu would be surprised at
some of the funeral services we
have here. l have attended
most of the funerals of animals
buried here and many of them
are marked with more pathOS
than in most funerals of hui
man beings. Women faint here
during the interment of their
favOrite pets and strong men
weep.
''SOme of the tOmbStOneS are
lavish examples Of devotion to
loyal pets and you can see from
the decorations on the graves
and about the burial lots that
these people have not forgotten
their pets"
Two of the horses buried there
are private mounts of Fort Myer
cavalry officers. They were won
derful animals and their owners
could not bear to see them
carried off to a glue factory, so
they were inferred in the animal
cemetery.
