Kiangsu Still Confident By Associated Press Shanghai. Sept. 13.—Chang Tso Din's forces, comprising three divi sions (about 37,500 men) and 20 mixed yrigades (about 107,600 men), are be ing held in readiness to move against Chihli, according to a seemingly re liable report from Mukden, Manchur ia, received early today. The Manchurian forces were said to be under the command of General Id Ching-DInp, with Chang Tso-Din’s own son, General Chang Ilsueh Diang as second in command. The report did not give a reason for the inaction of I he Manchurian troops but It was supposed here, on the basis of reports received yesterday, that transportation arrangements had not been completed. The arsenal at Mukden, the report said, is working overtime with con scripted labor to turn out munitions for the Manchurian war-lord’s propos ed assault on Pekin and the allies of IVu Pei-Fit, military dictator in the Chinese capital. Official communiques of the Kiang su forces attacking Shanghai, receiv ed this morning from their headquar ters at Nanging, the Kiangsu capital, were eloquently lacking in the pre vious expressed optimism of speedy victory, although still indicating con fidence in the ultimate success of the attacking armies. Other reports from Kiangsu sources in Suchnw, in the northern part of the provice, told of continued advances of the Chekiang troops fight ing northward through the hills we^e of Tnl lake, and stated that there hat been heavy diversions of Kianssu ■“s' troops in the direction of Ihing, In that district. A previous report from Chekiang headquarters near here told of the capture of the towiT of Ihing, which is about 100 miles west of Shanghai, and the surrender near there of two battalions of Kiangsu troops. Shanghai was quiet this morning, bad weather having brought a lull to fighting in the immediate vicinity of the city. Hr Associated Press Pekin, Sept. 12.—Under an agree ment between the powers and D. M. Karakhan, the Soviet ambassador, i he Russian legation was today hand ed over to the Russian representative. Karakhan, it is understood, reiter ated his assurance given to the Amer ican minister, Jacob Gould Schurman, then acting dean of the Pekin diplo matic corps, that the Soviet still con siders itself a cosignatory of the agreement under which the legation quarter is regulated and has satisfied the legations of his intention to abide by the regulations. The Russian legation has been un der the control of the diplomatic corps since China suspended recognition of tlie czar 1st government in September, ]tint). After the Soviet had been rec ognized bv China Karakhan asked that the legation be turned over to him.

I History oi Rome May Have to Be Eewritten; Livius’ Codex Found Italian Discoverer in Hiding for Fear Government ^ ill Take Treasure; Expects to Sell Find to America Not Less Than $1,000,000. By KARL H. VON WIEGAND, I'niversal Service Staff Correspondent. Berlin. Sept. 12.—Prof. Martino Fusco, Italian discoverer of the original codex of Titus Livius, expects to sell the original of his find to America or England for $1,000,000. That is the statement made by him to Dr. Max Funke, a German scholar, according to a telegram from the latter at Capri to the Berliner Tagesblatt. rearing tnat tne Italian govern ment may take his find away from him, the discoverer has disappeared together with the codex. The Italian authorities have searched Prof. Fus co’s home. Dr. Funke is the only person whom Prof. Fusco has, up to the present time, received or talked to about his find. "Is it really true that you have found the codex of Titus Llvius, and do you renlly believe It is the original manuscript written by Llvius him self?" asked Dr. Funke. Expects to .Make Fortune. "Without any doubt,” answered Prof. Fusco. "This volume tells of the foundation and .history of Carth age. In this beck there arises a new world of incomparable beauty and grandeur.” According to Dr. Funke the discov erer expects to make a vast fortune out of his find and therefore refuses to surrender it to the Italian govern ment. The German scholar expresses himself as rather skeptical. Hr Universal Srrvlre Evanston, 111., Sept. 12.—The re ported discovery of the missing books of Llvius’ Roman history by. Prof. Martino Fusco will make necessary a revision If not a rewriting of all hand books dealing with Roman history, literature, and legal antiquities, Dr. Roy C. Flickinger, noted classical scholar of Northwestern university, declared today: "There Is excellent ground for be lieving that this apparently epoch making find is all that the discoverer says It is,” said Dr. Flickinger. "There appears to he official con firmation by the Neapolitan minist. v of public instruction and therefore, one cannot feel but the discovery .« an event of outstanding importance to students of Roman history and literature. New Sight on History, "Llvius1 work was divided into 142 sections, called books; they extend: 1 from the more or less mythical stor ies connected with the founding of Rome in 735 II. C., to the death of Drusus In 000 Tt. or about 20 yejia before the historian’s own decease. "The 35 books which have been ex tant up to the present, carry the nar rative no further than 167 II. though the general content of Lie other books is known from brief epi tomes which have been preserved from antiquity. New light, therefore, is about to he thrown upon every thing of importance which happened on the shores of the Mediterranean during the century Rnd a half which preceded the birth of Christ." Especially valuable. Dr. Flickinger believes, will bo Llvius' judgment upon events with which he was con temporaneous, such ns the forma tion of the First and Second tri umvirates, the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey, and Oc tavius and Antony, and the emer gence of the Roman empire princi ple of Augustus, ns Octavius came to he called. "Llvius’ sympathies," Dr. Flickin ger added, “are already known to have been mildly enlisted on the side of Pompey, "but he nevertheless enjoyed the friendship and patronage of Augustus. "Students of literature, on the other hand, will he tantalized until they learn what topics of interest to them he may have touched upon In the hitherto missing three quarters of his work." It may lie years, however, before the works nre translated and edited, as the parchments discovered In the library, according to reports, would cover nearly a square mile, Dr. Flickinger said.

Ja it Britain Upheld in Reservation on Arbitration League Jurists Admit This Principle May Weaken World Court Statute; Sea Law Involved. By Associated Press. Geneva, Bept. 12.—Great Britain's light to sign the compulsory arbitra tion clause of the world court of jus tice with reservations was upheld to day by the subcommittee of the league of nations assembly which, will report its findings to the full judicial commission of the assembly. This decision means that not only Great Britain, but any other state which subscribed to the obligatory arbitration clause, has a perfect right to make any reservations It chooses. The jurists frankly admitted tonight that this decision In principle at least will open the way to a general weak ening of this world court statute. Great Britain made it Hear today that her reservation would affect only the fourth category of Jurdlcial mat ters open to compulsory arbitration by the court. This category refers to arbitration of all jwdnts of interna tional law and the British representa tives Indicated that they would con fine their reservations to questions of maritime law which may be raised by some power In consequence of some action by 1h» British fleet while performing a peace service for the league of nations. Other Complications. In other words. Great Britain does not Intend to have her interpretation of sea law submitted to obligatory ar bitration. Although today’s decision marks a distinct advance In the work of the commissions, the Jurists laid special emphasis on the fact that It might lead to reservations In other cate gories of Juridiclal disputes, including the Interpretation of treaties. Lord Parmoor of Great Britain was assailed by the journalists of many countries tonight with questions con cerning the effect of the British res ervations on British relations with the United States in case of any fu ture differences over the Interpreta tion of sea law. He got around all the questions by saying that, how ever embarrassing It might he, the fact remained that the 1'nlled States was not a member of the league of nations. Outsiders Not KfTerted. This being so, he added, any pos sible dispute between Great Britain and the United States arising out of captures of < vessels at sea would he settled through the usual legal and diplomatic channels. Any compact that Great Britain etnered Into, snld Lord Parmoor was with the members of the league of nations and did not nffect outsiders but Great Britain, he declared. In bringing her navnl force ns a sanc tion against any aggressor naturally could not be asked to he Judged by those whom she was serving In the I* ter eats of peace. Naturally. Lord Parmoor went on, Great Britain should not he asked to submit compulsory arbitration any Incident arising with either a mem tier or non-member of the league of notions. i Pin Swallowed by (lliild; Life Saved by Operation 8henandoah, In., Sept. 12.—An open safety pin swallowed by Maurice, 2. mm of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Doyle of Imogens, line been removed by nn operation.

Ogneva, F»pt. 12—Sir James Allen acting premier of New Zealand, to day projected for consideration to the disarmament commission of the league of nations a new draft trea*\ providing for the reduction of arma ment?. This new treaty condemns fcroup or regional alliances among the league members ns necessarily aimed at cer tain of the powers and as leading to the old and pernicious system of the balance of power. The darft of the new treaty !« has-j ed on the Idea that reduction of armament can come only when the nations have a guaranty of security and also on the supposition that the military and economic sanction be hind the league must be stronger than those now suggested by the covenant. The league, at a general conference would arrange fbr limitation of each nation's military strength and, failing agreement the league would have the right finally to fix the sl7* of earh member's military forces. A striking feature of the plan is the establish ment by the league of a general staff composed of h adieu- g-rerals, ad mlials, airmen and scientists which would prepare plans covering every - eventuality and assume command of all of the forces used by the league. | PHYSICIAN OF 73 OFFF.RS SERVICES Hjr A«*nriiitfil Fre*«.

Nebraska* Stands VT ith Coolidgp to t Watch 30.000 Observers Ti> of Defense Day Pass; ^ His Birthday Today. By GEORGE W. HINMAN. JR., Cnlierwil HerTlce Staff Correspondent. Washington, Sept. 12.—President Ooolidge and General Pershing today led the nation in the observance of Defense day. In the shadow of the flag floating over the White House, the com mander-in-chief of the present and the commander-in-chief cf the great est army the United States has ever put In the field reviewed a parade of 30,000 marchers. For General Pershing, It was a farewell to the great array of the United States to the building of which he has devoted the last years of his active military service. Tomorrow, he will retire In favor of younger men. The 30,000 marchers visualized to him the results of his handiwork, from the stern precision of the reg ulars, nucleus of the national defense, through the less trained movements of the national guard, the second line, to the reserves, the great citizen force upon whirh the nation muet rely in any major emergency. Blue and Gray There. The glittering bayonets of the in fantry, the fluttering guidons and shining sabers of the cavalry, the rumbling guns and caissons of the artillery, all were reminders of the need for a national defense. The thousands upon thousands of marchers in the ordinary ciothea of civil life were to the genera! the pledge that the nation was alive to these nr-els and that his work had not been In vain. . There were, too, the reminders of earlier battles. Aged men in the blue and in the gray turned back the years to the battles of the war between the states—Gettysburg, the Wilder ness. Antietam. Men of middle age recalled Santiago, Mindanao, and ti e fights of Cuba and the Philippines. And the younger men brought bsck the days of St. Mihiel, the Cham pagne and the Meuse Arconne. The dav was the sixth anniversary of St. Mihiel, the first operation of an in dependent American army in France. Tershing Speaks. And, in the heart of the great, marching column, moved the six men who have carried around the world the colors of the United States army. They were Lieutenant Smith and his fellow aviators of the world Bight, and they were received with acclaim. After the 30.“00 had passe i, they assembled before the reviewing stand; | and, with the aid of amplifiers, Ihe general addressed to the representa tives of his armies of the United States, a farewell* message. Without qualification, he indorsed the principles behind the defense test and declared his conviction that “the j principle of national defense is now firmly established In the minds of the people and it is now placed upon a j foundation which nothing can shake."

Sixty thousand Omahans are believed to have witnessed the parade. "The parade was a much greater success than expected," asserted Gen. George B. Duncan, commander Seventh corps area. "It was a e-rik lng demonstration of the attitude of Omahans toward preparedness and the national defense act. The sight which thrilled me most in the parade was that of an old man with a club foot among the marchers." Takes Hour to Pass. The parade consumed more than an hour in passing. The procession was reviewed from the reviewing stand in front of the city hall by General Duncan, Mayor Dahlman, represented by Commisisoner John Hopkins, and Brigadier General Dorey.
