 The new rules and regulations are for all persons, it was an- nounced. including nationals of the third powers" in Japanese con- trolled areas and apparently it raises the question of treaty rights for the other foreign powers than China.
 A Japanese spokesman admitted the measures put Americans and other foreigners under Japanese military law Only Russians and Germans are subject to law other than that of their own countries under the current treaty stipulations for foreigners in China.
 Authoritative sources said Japan also had requested foreign embas- sies, American among them, not to reopen immediately their offices in Nanking.

Ne,uton D. Baker, Secretary Of War During World Wm,
 Dies at Home in CIeueIand

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 27. = Newton D. Baker, 66, Secretary of War during the Woodrow Wilson Administration died last Saturday afternoon at his home following an illness of three weeks Death was caused by a sudden heart attack
 Newton D. Baker was lawyer and fighting pacifist to whose lot it fell, as Secretary of War in the Cabinet of President Wilson, to conduct the most stupendous mili- tary activity in which the United States had ever engaged.
 For five years he managed affairs which began on his advent in office with the Pershing expedition into Mexico and eliminated in the World War and later took of demobili- zation
 Thereafter he fought for the ideals of Wilson, argued for cancellation of war debts and, as one of eleven members of President Hoover's Ma tional Law Enforcement Commis- sion, wrote into the Wickersham re- port of 1881 a personal declaration in favor of the repeal of the Eight eenth Amendment
 Plea for Peace
 IEybo,, proeido,,t uTilco, and bic League of Nations program went down to defeat in the 1920 election, MT. Baker vowed that he would never make political speech that did not contain a plea for the League, the World Court and h. ternational peace.
 He kept that VOW, especially be- fore the 1924 Democratic National convention.
 There with tears streaming down his fact, he called the idealism of the dead chieftain and warned his party against repudiating Wilson, ian policies.
 Although these views were not always popular, MT. Baker retained his place as one of the leaders of his party. Beginning as early as 1912 he was mentioned six consecutive times as a possible Presidential nom inee, but in each instance he re- fused to take notice of the boom. '"
 Enforcement Issue
 MT. Baker signed the Wickersham report along with other members of the Commission, but in an attached personal statement wrote:
 Tn my opinion, the eighteenth amendment should be repealed and the whole question of policy and en- forcement with regard to intoxicat- ing liquors remitted to the States.
 "If. for practical reasons, imme- diate repeal be thought unattain- able, submission Of the amend ment, as suggested in the report of the Commission, would test the pres ent sentiment of the country and, if the amendment were adopted, would accomplish the double result of moving an arbitrary and inflex- ible police regulation from the Con- stitution, where it seems to me it should never have been put, and of giving Congress the power to adapt Federal legislation on the subject from time to time to the realities of the situation as they may develop

Three Departments Shut A partial survey revealed that at least three departments were almost completely shut down. Little or nc activity could be noticed at the Wheel Shop. said to be the second largest in the world. Only three au- tomobileS stood in a 700-car parking lot outside the shop.
 Although the open hearth and stripper mills near the Franklin gate still were belching smoke cranes were down and piles of cold metal lay in the yards. Two loco- motives stood idle on the Cone maugh and Blacklick railroad inside the plant. It was strike on this railroad, which normally employs about 500 workers, that led to the steel walkout.
 The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs and Help CTS, an American Federation of La bor affiliate, came to the aid of the CIO last night by refusing to haul any supplies, including food, inte the mills.
 The steel strikers likewise were aided in their fight to suspend op- erations and win union cotract from Bethlehem, the nations larg- est independent producer, by g strike of miners in captive" mines of the company, which employs 65,- GOO steel workers in plants here, al Bethlehem, Pa, and Sparrows Point Md.
