ito throughout the country, and, ac-
cordingly, it was applied to the Dis
trict statute. Later, however. the
general ratio was changed to 55-45.
The present dificulty is that Con-
Sress, having written the earlier ra-
ito into law for the District, it must
be adhered to on all projects started
under that law until it Is amended
The need for revision of the local

terms for the country as whole will

whatever they are, it is expected =
strong effort will be made to prevent
continued application of more rigid
conditions here than In other cities
The provision requiring the District
to pay back 100000 q year was
more severe when enacted four years
ago than the terms applying to other
cities. 1t was pointed out yesterday
that retention Of this rapid rate of
reimbursement on future projects
would be a greater hardship now than
it was originally, because the District
has had to take on new tax burdens
in the last year to keep out Of the
red.
The Districts P. w. A. loan obliga-
tions have amounted to $4,462 500,
and within few months it will have
paid back 1000, 900 in four annual in
stallments. In other words, the Dis
trict will have paid back the entire
loan in five years, while other cities
issue bonds extending for long periods
Of years to cover their P. w. A. prof.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, May 1 Sunday "A
furious battle for possession of the
walled town Of Tancheng, 20 miles
north of the Lunghai railway, today
threatened supply lines of the jap
anese advance guard reported only
flve miles from the railway.
Tancheng. which is from 10 to 20
miles behind the spearhead Of the
japanese offensive on the eastern end
OF the 30-mile Lunghai front, was
captured by the Chinese in a sur
prise attack last night. but was quickly
recaptured by reinforced japanese
assault
Chinese headquarters admitted the
loss, but said reinforcements were being
rushed in for another attempt to take
the strategic city. Matowcheng, a viii
lage just to the west of Tancheng, was
expected to be the scene of q jor
engagement.
Strategy Predicted.
Foreign military observers frequent
~ have predicted the Chinese would
attempt to break the new Japanese
offensive by drawing their columns
quickly into the interior and then
striking at the enemy supply lines
Tfis Is the strategy they used IN halt
ing the previous japanese drive in
south Shantung early in April.
The Chinese drive on Tanchena
particularly endangers the Japanese
forces at Nanlakow, IS miles south
west OF that town and five miles north
of the Lunghai, which is the objective
of the invading army. Other japanese
forces are around Pihsien, about 20
miles southwest Of Tancheng.
1t Is here at the eastern end Of
the front that the japanese have
made their greatest threat. Despite
their incessant pounding in the
TaierhchVang sector to the west. the
invaders have been unable to break
through the Chinese defenses in Is
days Of bitter fighting.
Two Named to Defense Unit.
Meanwhile. reports from Canton
said two of China's outstanding mill
tsry leaders, in retirement since 1886
because of revolts against the govern
ment. had been named members of
the powerful National Defense Council.
These leaders were Marshal Chang
Hsueh-liang. whose Shensi army
seized Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
at Sian in 1895. and General Chen
Chi-teng, who led the Kwangsi re-
bellion against the government.
Both Marshal Chang and General
Chen were strongly anti-Japanese be-
fore the outbreak Of the present con-
fllct and it was largely because Of
their dissatisfaction with the govern
ment's failure to take q firm stand
against Japan that they revolted.

CUHS TAKES PRIDE IN
ORCHESTRA

Jan. 12-CUHS takes great pride
in its orchestra because of the
progress it has made in the three
years it has been organized. From
the little group Of six instruments,
including a piano, a saxaphone, two
yiolins, a clarinet, and two drums,
it has increased to a thlrty-plece
orchestra with ten violins, three
clarinets, one cello, four trumpetS,
one baritone, two trombones, one
saxaphone, five percussion pieces
and a piano. With the exception
of the violinists comming to us
from the grammar school the ed
ditional members have been de-
veIoped from inexperienced play
ers among the high school students.
The orchestra has performed real
service to the school by furnish
ing music for our programs and as
semblies. This year they will play
standard symphony music, and with
the band will give concert in the
Spring.
Students in the orchestra get lit
tie credit for their efforts. They
play mostly for their own enjoy-
ment. However, pupil who parti-
cipates in the music department
for three years is awarded a gold
pen for his achievement.
The school owns several of the
instruments. Among which are
bass drum, two snare drums traps,
a set of bells, two clarinets, two
mellophonees, a baritone horn, two
sousaphone trumpets, a cello, and
a piano.

How A Tenant
Can Buy Farm

How can a farm tenant acquire
a farm with the aid of the Govern
ment?
Farm tenants, share croppers or
laborers who can show that most
of their income is from farming
operations are eligible to cOnsidera-
ton for Federal loans under the
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act.
That law authorizes an aggregate
of $35,O00,000 for expenditure for
the purpose up to 1899 and $5O,OOO,-
900 annually thereafter for financ-
ing such loans.
The applicant should address the
Farm Security Administration, 1928
Vermont Avenue, Washington, D.
c., giving the facts about his farm
status and asking for blanks and
other information.
The application will be forward
ed to a committee of disinterested
persons in the applicants county.
The committee will examine the
application and appraise the desir-
ed farm, which must be of suffici-
ent size to support dilligent fami-
ly.
Only full-fledged American citi-
zens will be considered for these
loans. No loan will be granted un-
less the committee certifies the
applicants character, ability and
experience, the value of the farm
and other essential facts that would
justify a loan.
The Farm Security Administra-
ton will give preference to indiYl-
duals who are married, who have
dependent families, and who can
make some initial down payment
or who own some livestock and
farm implements for operating a
farm successfully.
