Harry E. Yarnell. commander in

Fleet, today dispatched a destroyer
to obtain information of the situa-
ton at Annoy, where the interna-

occupied yesterday by japanese
naval forces.
The Bulmer. carrying Capt. J. T.

from FoochoW. where the ship has
been looking after American inter-

Americans share in the admins
tration of Kulangsu: seven live
there and one is a member of its
International Council.
In Shanghai authoritative quarters
interpreted the Kulangsu occupa-

to test the reaction of foreign gov

These sources expressed the
opinion that if other powers seemed
undisturbed the Japanese might take
similar action against the large In

in which there is a large amount of
Chinese property.
More than 100 Chinese suspected

House economy advocates prom
ised today to renew their campaign
to slash the Agriculture Department
appropriation bill, which carried q
record-breaking sum OF S1,2l8,666.-
572 ss approved by the Senate yes
terday.
Another struggle over the economy
issue was foreshadowed by the pro-
posal Of Senator Adams, Democrat.
of Colorado that Congress blanket
appropriations for the next fiscal
year with a reduction order designed
to save at least $3.50 900 900
Senator Adams said he would offer
some definite formula to reduce Fed
eral spending. once Congress has
completed work on major appropria-
ton bills.
House Democratic leaders reported
they were undecided as to whether
they would oppose the increases in
serted in the farm bill by the Senate.
Before the measure goes to the
White House, the differences be-
tween House and Senate must be
reconciled.
Limited In March Vote.
When it acted on the bill in March,
the House limited it to $685., 900 900,
refusing by a nine-vote margin to
provide $3.50 000, 900 for parity pay
ments and add $4,000. 900 to help
dispose of agricultural surpluses.
The parity payments would be de-
signed to increase the farm purchas-
ing power represented in cotton.
wheat. corn, rice and tobacco to the
pre-war level.
The Senate added 1925 900 900 for
parity and $l13,000. 900 for the re-
moval program, before passing the
bill, 81 to IA.
The measure includes a $5O0,0 0,0O0,-
900 ALLEGATION for soil conservation
payments, 1925 .000. 900 for parity
payments, s113,000.OOo for removal
of crop surpluses, about 5000 900 900
for the Federal-aid road program
and funds for other regular activi-
ties of the Agriculture Department.
House debate, which probably will
be deferred several weeks, may re-
vive the controversy over the feasi-
bility of the present farm program,
which Is based on subsidies for soil
conservation practices, marketing
quotas and loans.
See Obstacles Overcome.
Chairman Jones of the House
Agriculture Committee and others
who uphold the program contend 1t
will overcome all obstacles that
have developed In the last Is months
ii sufficient funds are appropriated.
Republicans-and some Demo-
crats-reply that no ALLEGATION will
be great enough to justify the pro-
duction control the program carries.
Representatives Lemke, Republican,
OF North Dakota, Massingale, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma and others ad-
vocate instead a scheme of price,
fixing designed to guarantee the
farmer a return equal to his produc-
ton costs.

gives promise of becoming one OF
the last big issues of the session.

Unlike the Arabs who silently
fold their tents and steal away,
Danny wasn't bothered with any
tent and therefore could be
properly classified as an unen-

glad to see him i'm his accustom-
