Power, who said that he was con- fident the body could be identified as that of the British field marshal who disappeared so tragically after the | sinking of the cruiser Hampshire off the Orkneys in 1916, said the coffin would remain in a private mortuary on Waterloo Road until Monday. A case which Power asserts holds | the coffin in which he bhelieves Lord Kitchener's body is inclosed was de- livered at Waterloo Station by train from Southampton last night. was taken later to the Waterloo Road mortuary and covered with a Union Jack.

Power's story of the discovery of the body on the coast of Norway, which story recently was discredited by the British government in « white paper, is being scoffed at by the English press. The Evening Star to- duy protests against permitting Power “to hawk an exhumed corpse about the country as that of the tragic generalissimo.” COFFIN DRAPED WITH FLAG !

Flags flew in Peking in celebration of the allies’ claim of capture of Nankow Pass, key to the Kuomin- tung position in the mountains north and west of the capital. Intrenched at the pass, 26 miles from Peking, from which they were driven when the government domi- nated by their commander, Feng Yu- Hslung, was deposed, the Kuomin- tung have stubbornly resisted efforts to dislodge and disperse them. Feng abandoned his troops. going to Mos- cow, but able commanders replaced him and the Kuomintung have been reported well equipped and trained, with supplies reaching them from Russizn sources through Mongolia to Kalgan, their base. Communication is interrupted and the meager advices reaching here do not indicate how far the allies were able to press the victory they claimed. Stretching eastward and westward from Nankow Pass, the Kuomintung sole soldiers’ line hus held against flanking and frontal at- tacks in the mountainous country in which they planted themselves. | Wu Pei-Fu, most successful mili- tary commander in China, is direct- ing operations, while his ally, Chang Tso-Lin, remains quietly at Mukden, capital of Manchuria, which he rules as dictator, independently of the re- mainder of China. Wu and Chang, former enemies, al- lied their forces because of their mu- tuag hatred of bolshevism, by which they declared the government they deposed was animated. Far to the south another force sald to. be in- spired by bolshevism threatens the success of the allies’ movement northward of Peking. Recent dis- patches reported the northward movement of Cantonese armies against Wu Pei Fu's troops in Hunan Province and to these. Wu Pei Iu, overlord of the central| provinces, was urged to send aid.

It is to be recommended that pool for white bathers be locates either in East Potomac Pack immed ately adjacent tothe railroad embank ment and the tourist camp, or in West Potomac Park in the area bounded by the roadway leading to the Highway Bridge and that skirting the former bathing beach in the Tidal- Basin, in the area now used for tennis courts and foot ball gridirons. This site is rather favored because it will be possible for traflic to approach it without crossing the road to the Highway Bridge. It will provide a means of egress across the brids, over the inlet to the Tidal Basin which now is being widened, and it is be lieved that not only will there b ample room for the pool and bath houses, but plenty parking space for_automobiles. The site recommended for the bath ing pool for colored residents is at Twenty-sixth street and Riverside Drive, in the plot adjacent to the United States Naval Hospital and: the approach to the Arlintgon Memorial Bridge. This is in the area which is being made a recreation center for colored people.
