NEWPORT NEWS, Va., September 8 (#).—The Red Star liner Pennland rode at anchor here today while hun- dreds of Legionnaires waited to board’ her for the trip across the Atlantic to the national convention of the American Legion in Paris. It was from this same port and the same dock that many of its passengers boarded a transport in 1917. Gov. Harry F. Byrd and a group of State officials were to arrive be- fore the steamers' sailing at, 3 o'clock. He was to greet Comdr. Howard Savage of the Legion.

Dyed Horses and Shineless Saddles Urged to Protect Cavalry From Air By the Associated Press. Dyed horses, shineless saddle seats and employment of a *“‘flock” forma- tion are three suggestions made by a special board at the Cavalry School, Fort Riley, Kans.,, as to means of protecting mounted ferces against low- flying attack planes, ‘The board conducted experiments in wvisibility of Cavalry and while light- colored Cavalry horses have been un- der the ban for years, the suggestion that mounts be dyed to neutral tints is a new one. The board found that flashes of light from polished equipment, *‘espe- clally seats of saddles” of dismounted invariably invited close inspec- Just how to tion by aerial observers. take the shine off the saddle seat the board does not determine, but it sug- gests that inasmuch as saddles are apt to remain polished from much use, it may be necessary to provide a screen to throw over them when troops are dismounted. ‘The *flock” formation found least visible 1s described as Cavalry squads disposed irregularly to both sides and the rear of the leader at distances of 10 to 20 yards and with no three riders “in a single straight line from any direction.” Further experiments in concealment of mounted troops from air observers wili be made during the Cavalry ma- neuvers near Marfa, Tex., September 20 to.

By the Associated Press. TOKIO, September 8.-—Anti-Japa- nese demonstrations are continuing in Mukden, Manchuria, official reports say, and other similar manifestations are expected. The Japanese residents are uneasy, and it has been thought necessary to provide guards for their children on the way to and from school. The Japanese Minister to China, Kenkichi Yoshizawa, yesterday pro- tested to Marshal Chang -Lin, the Manchurian military dictator, request- ing him to take steps to end the dis- turbances. The government is await- ing a reply which it expects will be satistactory. Mystified by Outbreaks. A foreign office spokesman was non- committal today when asked as to the possible steps to be taken by Japan in the event the disturbances continue. Government officials seem mystified by the outbreaks, which they consider due to a misunderstanding regarding Japan's so-called positive policy in Manchuria. It is intimated by some, however, that what they term Chang Tso-Lin’s “'overweening pride” is responsible. Moreover the opinion is expressed that the war lord, who for a long time past has not been popular with the Jap- anese generally, will by his latest ac- tion lose the sympathy even of those who hitherto have been favorably dis- posed toward him. It is understood that the Japanese premier, Baron Tanaka, formerly re- puted to be friendly toward Chang, is extremely incensed at him. Holds Pact Not Carried Out.
