tle developed Sunday along the battle
line flanking the city of Tien Tsin.
Troops of Chang Tso-Lin are now
in possession of the city and their
lines extend 15 miles south of the Pe

port of Peking, is one of the princi
pal objectives of Wu Pei Fu, whose
forces are attacking.
Reports from Tien Tsin say that
the city is apprehensive of looting if
Chang’s forces are defeated.
Christians Among Soldiers.
Wu Pei Fu has been reinforced by
35,000 men under Feng Yu Siang, fa
mous Christian general. This force
Includes 10,300 Christian soldiers, who
were converted during the Boxer up
rising because of the courage ex
hibited by American martyrs of those
stirring days. They are picked vet
erans and their arrival has had an
excellent effect on the forces of Gen
eral Wu.
Handley-Page airplanes have ar
Tived here preparatory to launching
«n air attack on the forces of Chang.
Wu Very Optimistic.
General Wu exhibits the greatest
confidence in the success of his cause.
"We will surround Peking and Tien
Tsin, secure control of the roads and

AIRPLANES VICTORIOUS
OVER 9 BATTLESHIPS
Cfl-.nnn-V.ot A f n , r 1 T? n w. k 1 11 ft
planes defeated rivet- gunboats In a
battle at Canton, according to dis
patches from that city received here
Saturday.
Three planes of the Canton govern
ment attacked nine warships in the
Pearl river when the crews were sus
pected of being sympathetic with the
Peking government.
A direct hit was scored on the river
cruiser Haichi. The bomb killed 20
sailors and wounded 30 and put the
vessel out of action. The others sur
rendered.
First In History.
This was t.ie first battle In history
between air and water fleets.
According to the dispatches, nine
warships were lying in the river when
agents of President Sun Yat Sen were
sent to ask the commanders to pledge
neutrality during Sun Yat Sen's ex
pedition against Peking.
The fleet commanders refused to
pledge neutrality and the Canton gov
ernment thereupon demanded that the
squadron be surrendered.
This was refused and the gunboats
cleared for action, evidently preparing
to bombard Canton.
Three Planes Appear.
Suddenly three bombing planes
zoomed into view over the vessels and
" commenced dropping explosives. Ail
ot the bombs landed in the river ex
cept the one which hit the Haichi.
This burst with a terrific explosion,
the dispatches said, partially wreck
ing the boat, dismounting its guns
and strewing its decks with dead and
maimed. Bits of debris showered over
the other eight gunboats. ,
The war vessels were helpless
against the aircraft, their guns be
ing useless for high angle fire. As
the air fleet pivoted and returned to
the attack, surrender signals were
hoisted by the whole fleet.
These gunlpoats were the last of the
^>eking government’s navy.
GOMPERS OPPOSES
RECOGNIZING REDS
Says Recognition by U. S.
Would Ee Betrayal of
Civilization.
Chicago, May 1. — Recognition of
Russia by the United States would be
a "betrayal of civilization" Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, said in a state
ment Sunday. The statement was is
sued just before Mr. Gompers left for
New York. He had come to Chi
cago to address a labor mass meet
ing Saturday.
Mr. Gompers charged that propa
ganda was being spread by the com
munists in America and that the re
cent steel strike was an effort on the
part of radical leaders to turn Amer
ican labor over to the red Interna
tionale.
"I can think of nothing that would
be more fraught with distress to hu
manity than American recognition of
the bolshevik power in any form,” he
said. Mr. Gompers charged there was
an international conspiracy of bank
ing interests to "loot Russia through
securing concessions from the bol
shevik.
"Russia herself if on the bargain
counter behind which stands Lenin
as a bandit merchant, to take what
he can get and what will serve his
purpose in exchange for the heritage
oi the people rendered helpless by
him,” Mr. Gompers said.

killed Sunday In a plunge from the
eighteenth floor of the Aeolian build
ing. /
Whether she jumped or felV/rom a
window in the office of Mrs. Antonia
Sawyer, manager for the pianist, has
not been definitely determined. At
first the police recorded the death as
"suicide,” but later; changed it to
read "either fell or Jumped.”
Her son has been notified in Los
Angeles, where he is on a western
concert tour. Mrs. Grainger is said
to have been worth a million dollars.
She has been complaining of ill health
recently.
Complained of lllnett.
Mrs. Grainger, who came to Amer
ica two years ago, has been residing
at White Plains. She telephoned to
Mrs. Sawyer, who was her best friend,
on Saturday night, saying she was
suffering from pains in her side and
a headache. Mrs. Sawyer suggested
an automobile ride to New York Sun
day and called for her Sunday morn
ing.
On the way to the city she com
plained again of being ill. Mrs. Saw
yer suggested that they go to her of
fice where there is a cot. Arriving at
the office Mrs. Grainger asked her
friend to get some bicarbonate of
soda, saying she believed it would
relieve her. Mrs. Sawyer went to a
drug store, leaving the pianist’s moth
er alone. When she returned 15 min
utes later her office door was locked
After she had opened It she found
Mrs. Grainger was missing. One win
dow was open. She looked from it
and saw the body of her friend on
the roof of an 11-story building ad
joining.
Notified Elevator Man.
She notified the elevator man who
called the police. When the officers
strived they called an ambulance and
a physician but the woman was dead
before assistance reached her. Her
skull had been fractured and she was
injured internally The roof on which
she fell was broken by the force of
the fall.
Mrs. Sawyer says she is positive
her friend did net leap from "the
window intentionally. She is of the
opinion that she was leaning out for
air and became dizzy or fainted and
tumbled over the sill.
Percy Grainger came to America
in 1915 and made his New York de
but in the same building from which
his mother plunged. He enjoyed h.s

TOURIST SEEKS MAIN STREET
First Inquiry Made by Man From
Middle West on His Arrival at

Nobody can tell what n traveler is
going to ask when he gets oil the
train at Union station.
Ask the street car superintendents
who load ’em on winter and summer.
Ask the men who run the sightseeing
busses. Make inquiry of taxicab
drivers.
They will tell you that It is an
ordinary happening to have a strahg
ger ask If "that big building with the
dome is the White House.”
One of those funny spring days last
week a traveler from the Middle West
came marching forth from the station
"portals to bask In the infrequent sun
shine which that moment was pour
ing down upon Washington.
There was no doubt about him be
ing from the Middle •u Test. It was
written nil over his sturdy frame,
tanned face nnd hospitable manner.
He felt at home. He had no Idea that
anybody might rebuff his cordinllty.
"Good morning,” he said.
"How are jViu?” I replied.
“Where is Main street?” he asked.

FROST KEEPS GRiP ON GOLD
Placers in Alaska That Are Only
Thawed to a Depth of About i
Three Feet in Summer.
Certain Alaska gold pincers lie la
ground that is permanently frozen, only,
the surface being thawed to a depth of
two or three feet In the heart of sum
mer. In this respect they resemble
the gold-bearing gravels of Siberia. nndf
the methods of working are similar.
Summer is the best time to prospect
for new leads, hut excavation of the
grave] from shafts and tunnels can be
ns well carried on in winter. The
ground at the end of a shaft is soft
ened by a fire of wood and then attacked
with the pick. Rut, Instead of break
ing under the blows, it mats together,
and this tendency renders gunpowder
and dynamite comparatively Ineffective
in denting with the frozen mnss. With
any less powerful Incentive than the
gleam of gold to spur on his human
antagonist the frost king would doubt
less win an eusy victory In so desper
ate a conflict.

At What Age Should You Take
Needless Risks With Your Health?
Is that a queer question?
Then many people are doing a queer thing
-and often it turns out to be a serious thing.
The Federal Bureau of Education says in
its ru|es for the health of school children that
children should not drink coffee or tea.
This rule is based on the well
known fact that the drug ele
ment in coffee and tea whip® up
the nerves, and that serious ills
often follow.
If it’s a good rule for children
to keep away from the harm of
nerve-stimulation, isn’t it a good
rule for everybody?
Think it over.
Granted that your body may
stand more, can your judgment
afford to risk more? Any doctor
can tell you what coffee and tea
often do to the health of adults
as well as children.
There’s no sacrifice in being
safe. Postum is a delightful,
satisfying mealtime beverage,
wholesome and pleasant alike
for adults and children. Postum
has no age limitsl
Your grocer has both forma of Postumt
Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in the
