Eventually, he added, a confiict arose through the contention of one of the siznatories that a treaty ne- gotiated by two of the republics in- juriously affected its interests and the signatory states later refused to accept the findings of the arbitral court.

By the Associated Press. BOSTON, September 6.—Naval vessels engaged in patrolling the North Atlantic route of the Army world flight steamed more than 37,000 nautical miles, Rear Admiral T. P. Magruder, commanding the light cruiser divisions which had charge of patrol operations, an- nounced today, as the work of the Navy ships in protecting the flight came to an end here. Among the twelve Navy ships which took sta- tions along the flight course, the scout cruiser Richmond, Admiral Magruder’s flagship, was first in distance covered, cruising more than 8,100 miles. The destroyer Barry stood second with 3,800 miles. Contending with fog, pack ice 4nd berge, conditions almost con- stant in subarctic waters, the ships carried out the tedious and arduous duties assigned to them with accuracy and propmtness, the admiral said. The long delay of the fiyers in Iceland, due to ice conditions on the East coast of Greenland, brought about a seri- ous fuel shortage, while food sup- plies on many of the patrol ves- sels dwindled to “sea stores” when the cruise stretched ‘many weeks beyond the period provided for. “Several times it looked as though the flight would have to be (Continued on Page 2, Column - |U. S.

In spite of a loan of 30-, 000 gallons of oil from the de- stroyer Coghlan at Labrador, the Richmond, with an oil capacity of 500,000 gallons, had only 8,000 gal- lons when she reached the tanker Brazos at Bay of Islands, New- foundland.

It was also “Richmond luck” that found Locatelli and his com- panion one dark Sunday night off southeastern Greenland when a signal man on the cruiser's bridge picked out the flash of a tiny hand lamp on the. drifting plane many miles away.

Sympathy for Country. Word from Manchuria to terday indicated that Chang Lir’s attitude was one of for flood-swept, war-torn China. Wu Pei-Fu issued a statement which indicated his armies were not being sent to the aid of the Tuchun in- vading Shanghai. The temperate at- titude of the Peking and Manchurian military men eliminates them as pos- sible principals in the expected main event in China’s civil war. Although both sides brought artil- lery into action yesterday, the fight- ing was indecisive, and few casual- ties were reported. The Chinese ar- tillerymen scattered shot without any marked objective in the wasteful manner of most Chinese encounters. There was some conjecture in the best informed military circles as to where the main battle on the present front is to be fought. The active lines now extend from Woosung on the north to Hwangtu on the east, with reports from the Lungwha ar- senal, headquarters of the defending general, Lu Yung-Hsiang, that troops had been dispatched to reinforce the army in the fleld there against a con- templated swing southward.
