of the patrol force.
There is one important vacancy still
existing in the ice patrol for the COM

man properly qualified to assume these

conducting scientific observations and

BORAH IS VISITED
BY BRITISH ENVOY
Official Exception Taken to
Senator's Charges About
Gold.

The charges in the Senate debate on
Wednesday that Great Britain depressed
world commodity prices by forcing
India on the gold standard were fol-
lowed yesterday by visit to Senator
William E. Borah, chairman of the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee, by
Sir Ronald Lindsey, the British Am
baSsador.
The unusual though not unprece-
dented incident, was explained authori-
tatively as due to British official eXcep-
ton to the statement of Senator Borah
and others that the Indian currency act
had influenced the world depression as
charged CT that it was passed under
pressure from London.
Basis Held Since 1893.
The Ambassador is understood to
have told Senator Borah that India did
not abandon silver for gold in 1925, as
the Senator stated, but has been on the
gold exchange standard since 1893, eX-
cept for short period during the war.
The British government emphasizes
that it was the Indian Legislature
which passed the Indian currency act,
but that there is great body Of opin-
ion in India which wanted to go fur
ther and establish gold currency.
The fact that the Senate debate
should bring a response from Great
Britain was taken to indicate the keen
interest abroad in the rising pressure
for new monetary legislation in the
American Congress. 1t was considered
traceable in part also to British sensi-
tiveness to charges in Congress that
London is retarding general economic
recovery by her own willingness to re-
main off the gold standard under pres
ent conditions.
Reed Doubts Remedy.
Senator Borah had made the point
on the floor of the Senate that 80 ma
tions had gone off the gold standard,
leaving only the United States and
France the major powers to adhere to
that base. Senator David A. Reed, Re-
publican, Of Pennsylvania, had agreed
with him that 1T was a great mistake
on Great Britain's part to demonetize
silver in India-a mistake from which
the whole world is suffering today"
but had questioned the practicability
of Senator Borah's proposed remedy.

NANK|NG MOVES
FOR QUICK PEACE
Adopts Policy of Restraint
Toward Japan in Secret
Conferences.
BY the Associated Press.

SHANGHAI, China, January T.
The National government at Marking
Is valiantly seeking to meet the new
crisis it is facing as a result of the
Japanese occupation Of Shanhaikwan
and the possibility of further hostilities.
In series of conferences there be-
tween civilian and military leaders, in
which Chang Kai-Shek, the chief mill
tary commander. appeared to dominate,
establishment of a future policy with
reference to Japan was sought.
Although the meetings were secret, it
seemed evident that the National gov
ernnent is not desirous Of aggravating
the situation, instead wishing a quick
settlement of the Shanhaikwan incl
dent.
This policy, the leaders believe, would
be most beneficial to the country, and
it seems destined to prevail despite the
public clamor for armed action against
Japan, and the urgings of dozens OF
lesser militariStS that they be allowed to
enter the field against the japanese.
The National government believes
that restraint is the nations only
course at present, although it is main
tanned that if the japanese attack
anywhere in China, Chinese troops VIII
resist
While the National government un-
queStlonably is seeking restraint, the
newspapers continue to feature extraV-
agant reports of the Shanhaikwan sit
uation and also accounts that the Ma
tional government is undertaking ex-
tensive military preparations through
out the country in anticipation of wide
spread emergencies. These reports are
Neding the fires of public Indignation.
'Ehe latest newspaper sensation stated
that former Manchu officials were
hurrying to Tientsin, believing that the
Japanese were preparing to re-establish
Henry Pu-Yi, the deposed boy Emperor,
who now is chief executive of Man
chukuo, on the dragon throne in the
forbidden city at Peiping as Emperor,
the ManchuS hoping to participate in
the restoration.

reported to have telegraphed to Nanking
that he was prepared for "a forthcom-

of floods-as it always has since man

Winter brings rain and rain brings
floods. It's case of more rain, more

River gauges are watched like time
pieces when the rainy season comes.
The streams are measured from low
water mark called zero on the gauge.
Flood stage Is measured from the zero
mark and fixed at height that means
an overflow. Hence, when a river
reading says the stage Is 80 feet, it
means the stream is 80 feet above the
low water mark-or zero point-and
not 80 feet deep.
Gauge Never Changed.
Zero point on the important MiSsis-
sippi River gauge here was set 80 years
ago The river was go feet deep in
midstream then, So when the gauge
registered zero it showed that the river
depth was so feet. Flood stage here is
35 feet-that Is, when the river reaches
35 feet on the gauge it will overflow
But at flood stage the river really is
about 95 feet deep in midstream
Water has fallen as much as 20 feet
below zero here, but the gauge was

floods down here. They come slowly
and stay long time. The natives ex-
