LONDON, July 11.—The Admiralty has decided to abandon all further operations for salvaging the sunken submarine H-47. The announcement of this was supplemented by the state- ment that this decision had been reached after full consideration of the location of the lost warcraft and the difficuities in attempting to salvage it. The Admiralty statement says that the facts which guided it in reaching this decision were the certainty that all the missing men perished almost immediately the vessel sank, and that the great depth of water, risk from EUROPEAN UNITY i Briand Hopes to Lay Founda- tion of “United States”’ by End of Year.

She has insisted that she was unaware of the presence of opium in her trunk and that she had been made the dupe of smugglers. Federal officials also 3aid they had learned that Mrs. Kao would. have re- ceived $23,000 if she had been successful in getting the opium past the customs inspectors here. They declared that prominent Chinese of San Francisco and Honolulu as well as others in China have been implicated and that the names of the ring’s leaders were known to them. John Smith, government agent, de- clared last night that the price of opium ‘here had soared $50 a tin since the dis- closures. Resentment against Mrs. Kgo ran ‘high in the Nationalist circles of China- fown.

While the foreign protests are taken | seriously by many large American busi- nesses and by many important public men in Congress and out of it, some cf the old spirit of ignoring such protests still survives.

Referring to & summary of the com- munications issued from Senator Smoot’s office, the Mississippl Senator declared it was hoped that the full texts of these protests will be published and not partisan summaries by the chairman of the finance committee. Senator Thomas, Democrat, Okla- homa, joined in the attack on the bill. Calling attention to what he said was a report that an amendment to the bill was planned to provide for an embargo against nations adopting retaliatory measures against this country, the Senator declared, “a more impractical, inopportune and undiplomatic sugges- tion could scarcely be made.” The American Tariff League an- nounced that in response to a reported threat on the part of certain foreign countries to use the International Chamber of Commerce now in session in Amsterdam as an agency through which to attack the American tariff, it had taken steps to combat this move. Expressing & bellef that most of the foreign opposition is based upon misin- formation, the League officials sent to Jultus N. Barnes, an American repre- nl?g‘“‘): hnto Amsterdam, informa with whic] oppose possible action by the chamber. ¢ Among the sharply-worded documents made public yesterday was that from the Spanish government, which threat- ened “denouncement” of the existing most-favored nation trade relations witn the United States should various rates in the House bill become law, and to this, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon had attached an opinion, which de- clared the Treasury was without au- thority to give Spanish imports an: ‘more favorable treatment than is given imports from other countries, but “if the importers of Spanish products feel that they are being discriminated against, they have, of course, the right to protest and to secure a determination of the question at issue by our courts.” DEBT PLAN PARLEY TO OPEN AUGUST 6 Conference on Young'’s Reparations Program May Be Held ing a most distinguished group of Amer- ican bankers and leaders.

The Washington Federation of the Protestant congregations here arc affiliated, has not discussed Sunday ob- | servance with a view to sponsoring or | approving legislation, it was said today. | Some of the affiliated churches co- operate with the Lord’s Day Allianc however, and it was said that sev pastors feel that movements for Sunday observance in the District should origi- nate in Washington rather than in New York, where the Lord’s Day Alliance is headquartered. ‘Washington pastors who discussed | the subject with President Hoover yes- | terday were Rev.

It was said this justified the order by Gen.

Another branch of the line runs south from { Harbin to Changchun, joining the South Manchuria Railway. The line was built by the Russians and under agreements dated October 2, 1920, and May 31, 1924, has been op- erated by both Russian and Chinese. It has 1,100 miles in Chinese territory, conforms to the Russian standard guage of five feet and is of vital im- | portance to the Russian communication | system, separating as it does the im- portant port of Vladivostok from the remainder of the Soviet Union. CHANG LEAVES FOR NORTH. PEKING, China, July 11 (#).—Chang Hsueh Liang, son of the late Marshal Chang Tso Lin, and himself overlord of Manchuria, hurriedly departed for the north today upon receipt of news from Harbin that Chinese officials there had seized the telegraph adminis- tration of the Chinese Eastern Railway. ‘Twelve or more Russian officials of the railway, who were accused of Com- munistic activities, were said to have been arrested. Chang told friends he assumed the Harbin authorities were proceeding to it into effect Mukden’s declared pol- icy that the Russian-Chinese Eastern :lmilzlnm must refrain from political ac- ivity.
