to be tnSistence on customs adminis-
tration which would accord uniform
and equal treatment Of all nations in
accordance with the open-door policy.
Since Shanghai receipts are about
40 per cent Of the total customs rev.
enues. acute interest was attached to
consular negotiations under way in
Shanghai to solve the question created
by war dEruptions and q japanese
threat to seize the customs administra-
ton despite interests OF other powers.
Two United States warcraft, the
cruiser Marblehead and the destroyer
Pope, were lying close inshore at
Tsingtao ready to take out the Amer

sity while British cruiser was placed
similarly to handle British nationals.
-Four British coastal ships depart
ed for Shanghai jammed with foreign
ers OF various nationalities, including
Americans and hundreds of Chinese,
mostly of the well-to-do classes.
Fearing a breakdown of local au-
thority foreigners were organizing Wig
ilantes to take control Of the CITY il
necessary before the expected Japanese
entry. They decided to remain un-
armed except for batons. thereby
seeking to avoid clashes with armed
elements, either Chinese or Japa-
nese, but at the same time prevent

panic.
Chinese, both soldiers and civilians.
were fleeing to the southwest through
the only remaining avenue of es-
cape, but 1t was believed this route
soon would be cut of. The Japanese
were advancing along the railway from
Tsinan, Shantung Province capital,

persons" suspected of crimes against
Nippon's armed forces, was announced
by the japanese spokesman.
japanese forces would proceed eau
tiously in any cases where Americans
and other foreigners holding treaty
rights to be tried by courts of their
own nations were suspected, the
spokesman said.
He stated that the basis of the Jap
anese claim was de facto" military
occupation and specified it would be
enforced in occupied territory. When
asked whether japanese claimed oc-
cupation of the international areas,
he refrained from answering.

Roosevelt Views on Bill.
The reports concerning Mr. Roose-

lieve it might become the chief vehicle
for the administrations proposed at
tack on the monopoly problem.
In his last "fireside chat" Mr..
Roosevelt declared there was need
for Tightening the antitrust laws, but
he has not outlined publicly any pro-

He was reported by usually we'll
informed persons to have said the
Borah-O'Mahoney bill did not go
far enough" It provides that an
enlarged Federal Trade Commission
would charter corporations engaged in
interstate or foreign commerce.
Licenses could be denied to firms

A miracle machine which spots an
airplane 20 miles away by the heat
thrown of by the planes motor is
nearing perfection-amid great Sc
crecy-at the hands Of Army en-
gineers.
