Laying the ground work for their nic task of organizing American | ezriculture, the Federal Farm Board is| moving deliberately, as it promised. Using the press as a medium of con- tact with the farmers and the public gonerally, the board has broadcast its| policies as they have been determined around the table presided over by Alex- ander Legge, Chicago business man, of | & firm but good natured disposition. Chairman Legge thus has launched a campaign of education, and joined by Viee Chairman Stone has made its} hizh point clear with an appeal to the rs to organize into co-operative| keting associations, on & broad and nore intensive scale ever before. e nt made public late yes- en Legge and Vice! irman called attention that| board was directed under the recent irm relief act to do its relief work through the co-operative marketing| azencles. Deals With Assoclations. The board has concluded after several study of the law that its work is fined elmost entirely to contact with the co-operative marketing associations. Therefore the members have decided individual appeals will have to be passed over while the board directs its energies to relations with organized farmers. Chris 1.

Close at hand is the steadily increasing shore of Hoshigaura, which means Star Beach. The tide is ebbing and points of gravelly strand pierce the lazy sea. Here and there are some late-staying Sunday holiday makers, the last of & couple of thousand who an hour or so ago thronged the beach, mestly Japamese from Deiren. The soft light of tise setting sun falls pleasantly upon half a dnzen isiands carved ages ago by the sea from the mainland, now set about three or four miles from shore.

Then again diplo. macy intervened, and today Japan has a “lease” of this important tip of the peninsula, a lease with a definite term, toward the end of which nobody at present looks. For in this part of the world the conditions of today suffice and no man knows what the future holds. ‘We are here for a three-day stay, and as regards the comforts of existence we would be delighted to stay much longer. We came down from Chang- chun in two jumps, stopping off at Tangkangtzu for 24 hours of respite from travel in the blistering heat. All the way dcwn from Changchun, through Mukden and below, we were running through battlefields of the Russo-Jap- anese war. Monuments from time to time punctuated the landscape and gave us reminders of place names that 2 vears ago were world famous, such as Liao Yang, where the Japanese de- livered one of their most fateful blows at the Russians and gave them proof of their persistent power of attack. An Endurance Test, At Anshan we left our train for an hour or so and visited the great iron works of the South Manchuria Rail- way, a_most severd test of our endur- ance.

When. the Russo-Japanese war began, eight years later, the city was well built up accord- ing to the exact plans of the Russian government. The Japanese took it very soon after the outbreak of hostilities and used it as a of operations, eventually changing the name to the present designation. Dairen now has a ropulation of at least 300,000. Port Arthur Named for Prince. Port Arthur is alzo known by another name, Ryojun. It, too, was a mere fish- ing village, when, in 1857, Great Britain and France declared war against China. It was selected by the two powers as their base of operations, and it was young prince, who later became the Duke of Connaught. In later years Li Hung Chang, with an eye to future eventualitiess fortified the place and strengthened the harbor. But when Japan went to war with China in 1894 &he managed to carry this supposed stronghold in & single day, in a desper- ate assault. Ten years later it took Japan nearly a year to carry Port Arthur and win it from the Russians.

Today our party went over part of the field of this siege. We could not possi- bly cover it all. The distances are too | great and the hills are too high for such | an expedition in a single span of 24 | hours. " Students of military history and technique mey spend many weeks here | profitably.

Brown, in charge of the Trafic Bu- reau, that all empty taxicabs be barred from F and G streets between Ninth and Fifteenth streets, which reached Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty to- day, was promptly sent back to Brown for further study. Commissioner Dougherty said that he had informed Brown that relief of con- gestion on these two streets from taxi- cabs could probably best be secured by | enforcing the regulations on the sub- | ject already on the books. Commissioner | Dougherty said that the regulations he ! referred to were those preventing taxis | with livery tags from picking up fares | on the streets and prohibiting cabs from loitering. The proposed regulation was attacked ‘before it reached Commissioner Dough- | erty by the Independent cab interests, most of whose vehicles operate on H tags.

By the Associated Press. President Hoover today icsued a proe- lamation raising the embargo on the | shipment of arms and munitions to Mexico. The embargo has been in force since January 7, 1924, and was imposed by President Coolidge. The Mexican gov- | ernment recently requested the lifting | of the embargo, however, and the Presi- | dent’s action today revoked the action | in 1924 by President Coolidge. A statement by the State Department in connection with the embargo pointed out that the Mexican government has | recently successfully withstood another | domestic_insurrection, and that condi- tions in Mexico no longer require main- tenance of the embargo.
