Fear General Warfare Washington, D. C., Sept. 2.—Nava* forces of the United States, Japan, Great Britain and France, kept for patrol work in Asiatic waters, nre being assembled at Shanghai, China. Some already are there and others are proceeding to that port, moving as neutral ships, but prepared to acr swiftly In the event they are called upon to protect their respective na tionals, commercial and trade Inter ests, now menaced by danger of hos tilities between military forces com manded by two provincial governors. The diplomatic agents of the four governments already have advised the Peking foreign office "that the Idea of a naval battle In the great est harbor of the east was unthink able and could not he tolerated,” ■^silntlng out that the Shanghai waters constitute one vast harbor In which the ships of every nation float and that the .present status of affairs presents a situation that can not be regarded with equanimity by them. Report to Washington. Admiral Thomas Washington, com mander In chief of the Asiatic squad ron and Edward Bell, charge of the legation In Peking, both reported to day to the Washington government on the situation at Shanghai. Admiral Washington said nine de stroyers, the Borie, Smith, Thomp son, Tracy, Hulbert, J. D. Evans, Preble, Frultt, Penquln and Whipple, i^had been dispatched from the summer j>a*e at Chefoo to Shanghai and in addition, the gimbont Tsabell, flag ship of the river patrol, had been or dered from Klukang to Shanghai. No mention, however, was con tained in these dispatches as to what ships the other three powers now have at Shanghai or have ordered there. It is known, however, that the Pekin diplomats, representing the four great powers, are acting in unison in the Shanghai matter and that they will be or are represented there now by vessels of their respec tive naval forces, selected for that duty from the various Asiatic squad rons. Bell, reporting the other diplomatic officers held in Pekin with Dr. Koo, the foreign minister, declared that while It was their desire to remain strictly neutral and not to Interfere with Chinese Internal wars, the diplomats had made It clear to the Chinese minister that a battle be tween the forts at Woosung and the Nanking navy, such ns was threat ened would endanger the ships of all nations crowded in Shanghai waters and would not be tolerated. General War May Result. The situation now developing at Shanghai is attributed by officials here familiar with conditions In China to an intense rivalry which has ex isted for a year or more between Generals Chi Hsioh-Yuan and Lu Yung-Hslang, military governors re spectively of Klangsu and Chekiang, adjoining provinces. A conflict be tween them, it Is feared, would tend fcyto throw other provincial forces Into the struggle, and. It Is said, might result possibly in general warfare In China. The question at Issue between the two provincial le-dcis is sold to re snlve itself practically Into a contest between them for military control of Shanghai. That city is located In Kiangsu province, over which Gen eral Chi holds military control ns gov ernor. OenersI Ho Feng-LIn, defense commissioner of Shsnghal, however, Is related to General Lu, governor of Chekiang. It Is for control of this office, officials here understand, that the two governors are now threaten Ing conflict. f m m w m » we nave With Us Today ,!. B.

League of Nations Discourages New Arms Conference Isolated Meetings Out of Place When Permanent Institution of Discus sion Exists. By Associated Tress. Geneva, Sept. 2.—The Indication exists here that efforts arf being made to discourage the holding of disarmament eonferences elsewhere which are not linked with the league of nations. The spokesman for one European delegation, expressing what he termed his personal views, said that Isolated conferences similar to that held at Washington seemed out of place while a permanent Institution like the league of nations existed, with ex perts devoting years of study to the technique and difficulties of reducing armaments. The impression prevails here that those powers which feel most keenly about the question of security will be slow to participate in any new confer ence affecting land and naval arma ments until some solution of the prob lem of security Is found. These pow ers believe that military forces must exist somewhere In the background, even when the security problem has been solved and It Is said, they will not be satisfied with the extension of the power of arbitration as a remedy. A committee representing the Syria Palestlne congress today circulated a manifesto protesting against what was termed “imperialist regime" Imposed upon Syria under the cloak of a man date, and the "slicing up’’ of the country by the powers, thus destroy ing the national unity. The manifesto demanded that the league assembly send an impartial commission to Syria to conduct an investigation. It also Insisted upon the recognition of the Independence of Syria. By Associated Tress. Geneva, Sept. 2.—The smaller na tions of Europe, especially the mem bers of the little entente, manifested today their determination to achieve some international pact which they consider will really safeguard their security when they selected Foreign Minister Duca of Rumania to preside over the Important deliberations of the third assembly commission which is to probe the entire problem of dis armament and security. There seems here to be s distinct movement, under the apparent leader ship of France, to Insist that all international deliberations for the limitation of armaments shall be held through the mechanism of the league of nations. If this movement develops It might sidetrack, It is thought, the American government's reported In tentlon to convoke a new disarms ment conference, unless It be definite ly linked with the league. For the moment at least, the move ment Is entirely confined to the lobby discussions of the delegates. Greece came out strongly for the Armenians when It Introduced a reso lution providing for the transfer of the Armenian refugees to the Cau casus and the creation there of an Armenian national home. LINCOLN-YANKTON HIGHWAY MAPPED Wlsner, Neb., Sept. 2.—Wahoo, Cedar Bluffs, Morse Bluffs, North Bend, Snyder, Dodge and Wlsner were represented at a public meeting held at the Community club rooms for the purpose of naming and mark ing a road which shall connect Lin coln, Neb., and Yankton, S.

Delays Mail Carriers By EDNA WILLIS, la I i orr«*»i»oniient The Omaha Bee. Central City, Neb., Sept. 2 —A Union Pacific train was wrecked here today, repre senting a loss of thousands of dollars, four cars were piled on the right-of-way blocking traffic both east and west for an hour and three passenger trains were held up, two of them carrying the mails—be cause a little girl was on the track and the engineer of the freight train realized that either there must be a wreck or the little life snuffed out. The engineer chose to p:le his traiu In the ditch. As a result, little Mar garet Pugnman, 13, Is alne tonight, and safely home with her parents. Fails to Hear Whistle. The engineer of the freight train. John Lowhorn. is glad tfcat the little girl is alive. ,glad that It was h s riuk-k-wittedness that saved her, though his thoughts stray regretfully to the pile of twisted Iron, splintered wood and ruined merchandise that is piled up alongside the railroad tracks. Lowhorn was within a few blocks >f the east approach to the Central C.ty station when he caught sight of the child on the tracks. He whistled repeatedly, hut the youngster walked on, seemingly deaf to the sound of the approaching train. Again Lowhorn whistled. Again without result, the little girl was plainly oblivious to the oncoming juggernaut. She walked slowly, stop ping now and then to gaze at s :ue thlng which attracted her attention. In the engine cab lowhorn turned through his mind a thousand expedi ents tn the fraction of a eeconl. rhen he realized that there was but me thing to be done The train must he brought to a stop or the little girl would be ground beneath the wheels. The faces of all the little girls he had ever known fashed before his eyes. His mind raced, as men's minds al ways race in such crises. Train Buckle*. Then action—the air was applied, the brakes set. The wheels caught. :umod a fraction and caught again l"he long train groaned, buckled and ttopped with four freight cars piled ip aefoss the tracks. Lowborn looked back at the wreck ige and thought, probably of the in luirv that would be made, and of T-.e questions that would be asked St headquarters. But the little girl was >afe. Frightened spectators who ran up to the child said that she did not realize a train had been wrecked on her account When told she did not realize the seriousness of what had happened.
