Counterfeits Of all the money that comes into the treasury the expert counter quick- ly detects counterfeits, such as a $2 bill raised to a twenty, and stamps it “Counterfeit” in letters that cut clear through the paper. The bill is then sent back to the sender with the hope that it may be traced to its source. Failing to trace it, the bill is returned to the Treasury Department for in- wvestigation by the Secret Service Di- wision. No need for a Secret Service in- vestigation of American Ice.

By the Associated Press. The Cummins bill to enforce rail- road consolidation after an experi- mental period was reported favdrably vesterday by the Senate interstate commerce committee. The outlook for passage at this session is dubious. The compulsory clauses of the bill would apply to those roads which fail to consolidate within five years. At the end of that time the Interstate Commerce Commission would proceed to unify the rouds into a limited num- Dber of systems, to be established in accordance with the public interest. “Without taking inte account the economies that m: be secured through consolidatio 2id the com- mittee report, “it is submitted as an inevitable conclusion that if a process lct wise consolidation 1s not soon en- tered upon and rapidly carried for- ward, not less than 60,000 miles, and it may reach 80,000 miles, of our rail transportation system must be either | abandoned or, at the best, will be rendering the host unsatisfactory d_inefficient service. “These facts present the chief rea-| son for the passage of this bill. It the facts are fairly understood, con- solidation in some form is a foregone conclusion. “It has been estimated that with the | service now being rendered there could be a saving of from $300,000,- 000 to $500,000,000 annually, all of which could be utilized in a reduction of freight and passenger rates, “The committee has not had in mind increasing profits for railway com- panies. Its attention has been di-| rected solely to the highest efficlency in service and the lowest rates at which service can be performed.” POLICE STOP JOURNEY OF 3 GIRLS TO FLORIDA, | Held in House of Detention Here as Fugitives Awaiting Word From Parents. intended migration of three { om their home town of | | Binghamton, N.

AVENUE Pardonable Pride STAR WU’S ABILITY TO IS LEADING QUESTION IN CHINA Result of Seizure of Control Probably Will Depend on Completeness of Reformation and on Decisive- ness of Feng’s and Chang’s Defeat. The wheel of fortune, which con- trols the mysterious destinies of China, has_clicked again, and this time it is Wu Pel-Fu, having tasted once the bitterness.of defeat, who re- coups and rakes in his winnings, to hold them—how long? ws dispatches of the last few days recounted a_quietly executed and bloodless coup d’etat by Wu F 3 ing in unseating the pro- and the release from imprisonraent of the elected President whom Tuan su- perseded, serve to emphasize the pecu- liarities and complexities of the strug- gles resulting from China's “eternal triangle”—or the efforts of _three powerful war lords, whose ambition'it has been to seize for their own selfish ends the fruits of victor: The success in the past few days of Wu, and his regaining of the con- trol he lost in 1924, were not entirely unexpected. As recently as two months and a few days ago his pic- ture was reproduced in The Star, and the caption identifying him said, “Wu is expected to strike not later than the Springtime, and perhaps earlier.” Strike he did, and now the interest centers in his ability to hold his pos tion and consolidate it. Deserted by Feng. Wu Pei-Fu, once supreme war lord of China, was defeated two years ago by Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian ar lord. His defeat was mpade possible by the desertion from his forces of ‘eng Yu-Hsiang, the so-called “Chris- tian General.” After Wu's defeat Feng, with the backing of Soviet Russfa, and Chang, with the help of Japan, held joint control of Peking, each eying the other with suspicion and preparing for the battle for future sole supremacy, which conditions seemed to render certain. In the fighting of the last few months, Chang was driven back into Manchuria with his forces depleted. He now holds Manchuria. Feng, first remaining quiet in his stronghold at Kalgan, in the hills less than 50 miles northwest of Pe- king, fought the governor of the Chihli province, in which Peking and Tientsin are located, and after heavy losses won through to Tient- sin. . Then, leaving in control the gov- which was overthrown a few days ago, Feng faded from the picture, so far as China proper is concerned, for reasons best known to himself. Ostensibly, Feng decided to withdraw very unselfish motive. In a letter to one of his subordinate generals, he declared “I have now won my victory in Chihlt but that is the will of God und not the power of man. I hav heen successful, but I cannot enjoy victorles, for my heart is pained. 1 do not consider it merit or honorable. It is absolutely necessary that the rulers of the country should concen- trate their minds and energies on the reconstruction of the country and maintain peace and order for In the hope that civil wars mayv cease in China, and in order that I might have a rest, I hereby announce that I now resign from all offices that I| have hitherto undertaken, so that] ators of the country will not | h anything upon which to start rumors of war or have a chance to stir up new trouble in China.” Saw Handwriting On Wall. Actually, however, and according to the interpretations by some students of the situation, Feng had seen the handwriting on the wall. He lost confidence in at least two of his sub- ordinates; he was held responsible for the terrific losses sustained by his forces in their Chihli campaign; his minister of finance was unable to raise sufficient funds, "even by extortion from the local bankers, for the sup- port of his troops; his ammunition was low, his supplies were becoming exhausted and his position was un- tenable should Chang return. So he departed for ‘“travel and study,” and some writers prophesied at this time that his subordinates would work with Tuan-Chi Jui, grad- ually, perhaps, breaking the Russian Soviet affiliations effected through Feng, and perhaps bring about an alllance with Mukden. Feng left after paying compliments all around and expressing his faith in the ability of those he left in con- trol to carry on. “With reference to national affairs,” he wrote, “the chief executive, Mar- shal Tuam-Chi Jul, is an highly hon- est and admirable person of great vir- tue and wide experience. Marshal Wu Pei-fu is highly educated and also of profound experience. They are per- <ons of great ability and they are highly to be recommended. They will, 1 know, forget their party differences and fight for their country and its wel fare. Unfit to Lead. “I, Yu-hsiang] am uncultured and inexperienced. I am unfit to lead my soldiers or to govern any place. It is wiser that I should retire rather than be blamed by the people in future for faults committed through ignorance.” The elimination of Feng was hailed with gratification in some quarters because of the removal from the field of at least one disturbing element. But there remained Chang, in Man- churia, and Wu, in Hankow, the latter — GTONEBRAKE 820-N2ST.NW. Here you find comfort and select” environment with- out excessive cost.

Maw Juz IINGTON HOLD POWER W busy making up for his defeat two years previous. Wu, after his defeat, had been forced to fly for his life, and he es- caped with difficulty. But he re- tained some of his popularity, even in defeat, by refusing to take refuge in a foreign concession. He found u safe retreat in the upper reaches of the Yangtse River, and there, by his untiring energy, his diplomacy and means of threats and extor- tion, he filled his war chest, combined and organized the Yangtse provinces, and became a threatening figure, ready to get his revenge on Chang, who defeated him, and on Feng, who betrayed him. Co-operating first with Feng’s forces to drive Chang back to Manchuria, and then co-operating with Chang’s forces to drive Feng's army out of Tientsin, and Feng himself {nto Mon- golia, Wu was placed in the position he sought. A cleverly executed coup d'etat put him in power overnight. How Wu had been preparing to un- seat the provisional President, Tuan- Chi Jul, and drive out Feng by care- full\ paving his way with propagan- da, is indicated by the wording of a circular telegram sent out by his leaders recently, and published as late as March 11 in a Chinese news paper. Faults Pointed Out. Addressed to the “Civil and military leaders of the various provinces, com. manders of the allied armies, members of the Parliament and of various provincial assemblies,” the telegram, in_part, follow “The intrigues and crimes of Tuan Chizjui have been repeatedly revealed in the telegrams of Mr. Tang Shao-yi, Mr. Chang Tai-yen and members of the houses, we presume that his con- demnable faults are already known to everybody in the country and it is not necessary for us to enumerate them herein. On December 24, last year.

Since Chia Teh-yao became act- ing premier a regular Red govern- ment has been instituted in Peking and evervthing has been done to strengthen the position of the great bandit, Feng Yu-Hsiang Critical Point Near. “The national condition is certainly approaching a criitcal point and it is | impossible for Peifu and the rest to stand aside any longer." The names signed to the telegram ure interesting in that they will bear watching during the developments which are_to follw Wu's victory. They are: Wu Pel-fu, Chi Hsieh-yuan, Chang Tsung-chang, Li Chingling, Chen Chia-Mou, Tu Shih-chun, C! Yun-ao, Lu Chin-san, Kow Yin-chieh, Shu Yu-Pu, Pi Shou-chen, 1-Kun, Cheng Koh-jui, Sun Chyng-hsien, Wang Tih, Liu Tsolung, Chang Liang-sheng, Tien Wei-chin, Wang Wel-wei, Wang Tu-ching, Yang Sen, Liu Cheng-hua, Wu Sin-tien, Chang Chikung, Ma Chi. One of the most inter: tions brought about by Wu'’s restora- tion is that concerning Soviet Russia. in Feng's withdrawal from the scene Russia has lost a valuable tool. In the popular mind Wu stands for China. He represents neither Japan nor Russia. This gives him at once a popular appeal, which may allow him to absorb and completely domi- nate the remaining Feng forces which were under the influence of Russia. Wu is pictured as being of higher inteilectual caliber than either of the other two war lords—Feng and Chang. In addition to being a student of the Chinese classics, he excels in leader- hip and is a skilled soldier. When he was in power he was despotic, arbi- trary and bore the reputation of being a hard drinker. After his defeat and while he was preparing himself for his attempt to regain lost power, he is said to have reformed and laid aside some of his bad habits. The extent of this reformation re- mains, however, to be seeh. Genuine Pa. Quality Bituminous Prepared Sizes COKE Run of the oven and stove sizes MARLOW COAL CO. 811 E St. D. C.
