The arrival of the new masses of.
japanese troops at ShanhaikWan,
means a big increase in the num-
ber of soldiers which Japan has
standing by in readiness for any
eventuality.
Japan has been rolling troops,
field and machine guns and other
supplies of war into the Great Wall
city for weeks. Two armored
trains also are at Shanhaikwan,
ready for a dash into the demili-
tarized area north of Peiping or
China itself if necessary.
Gen. Sung is commander of the
Peiping-Tientsin garrison.
He had decided to telegraph
Nanking that the situation was
growing more tense and japanese
pressure in favor of autonomy was
becoming irresistible. His mes
sage, it was expected, would ask
definite instructions from General
issimo Chang Kai-Shek, strong
man" of the Central government.
Chinese said Sungs telegram
would be sent more from necessity
than from choice Circles loyal to
the government declared his pref
erence would have been to accept
his appointment by Marking as pa
cification commissioner of Hopei
and Chahar.
Reports of his imminent capitu-
lation are directly linked in Chin
ese minds with his talk with Major
General Kenji Doihara, chief po-
litical agent of the Japanese army
on the Asian mainland.
Surrender of Gen. Sung to the
overwhelming forces working toward
gradual extension of the autono-
nous area to Shantung, Suiyuun,
Shansi, Hopei and Chahar would
be followed, it is believed here, by
capitulation of other northern mil
itary leaders.

The welcome increase in salaries

PEACE MEET.
WITH D j c {.
s j G CESTED
France Also Open
TOS Settlement
OF Row

PARIS, Nov. 80. (UP)-
Great Britain has moved to
seek a basis of negotiation
with Italy and thus to avoid
the gravest potential crisis
since the World War, it was learned
today.
Strengthened by big majority
in the recent parliamentary elec-
tion, the British government has
suggested unofficially meeting be-
tween Sir Samuel Hoarc. foreign
secretary, and Premier Pierre Laval
to discuss the possibility OF peace
full settlement before an oil en-
barge is applied against Italy.
France has replied, also unofficial
ly, that it will agree to the meeting
if Britain makes its suggestion an
official one.
Any effort at conciliation would
be based on previous plan to per-
Suade Ethiopia to cede some terri
tory to Italy in exchange for an out
let to the sea, probably through Brit
ish Somaliland.
1t was understood that any ac-
cGmpanying effort to end Italian
British tension would be settled di-
rectly between Italy and Great Bri-
tain without the participation of
Laval
The new effort to try to find a
basis for Cancellation conceded with
an apparent clearing of the diplo-
matte atmosphere which resulted
from Premier Laval's warning to
Italy that warlike measures against
Britain would mean warlike meas
ures against France and all the
League of Nations.
) A foreign office spokesman, con-
firming the British unofficial Sug-
gestion for the meeting and the
French unofficial response said:
mo date or place has been fixed.
The invitation is unofficial so far,
but France ardently hoped it will
materialize as it is likely to bring

Christmas Club
Funds Given Out

Three hundred Christmas shop
pers were made happy Saturday
when a year of saving for the oc-
casion came to a close with dis
bursement of $4,000 in Christmas
Club savings accounts by the Bank
of America. This event definitely
marks the beginning of the Christ
mas shopping season and the city's
merchants can expect to see many
of the crisp checks during the COM
ing week.
According to Walter B. Havekorst,
manager of the Bank of America,
this years Christmas Club savings
surpass that of last year and dou-
BILE that of 1888. Last years total
savings were $4,000, while in 1888
they were $4,000. The start for 1896
has already been made with $50 ac-
counts opened although the new
savings program has barely started

however, as the Presidents Atlanta
address was expected to gain some
support.
Two months ago, Ryan and Co.,
