ARMS RESOLUTION * REPORT IN SENATE Embargo Measure Amended to Preserve American Neutrality. By the Associated Press. The Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee today favorably reported the arms embargo resolution with an amendment to preserve American neu- trality by applying any ban to all par- ties to a conflict. The amendment, offered by Senator Johnson, Republican, cf California, was adopted unanimously, while the final draft of the resolution was opposed only by Senator Robinson, Republican, of Indiana. i Each member, however, reserved the | right to vote as he pleased on the floor. Authority Given President. The resolution, already adopted by the House, authorizes the President, in co-operation with other nations, to pro- hibit arms shipments to any troubled area, including countries adjacent to nations actually or on the brink of war. Johnson's amendment added a pro- viso that “any prohibition of export, or of sale for export, proclaimed under this resolution shall apply impartially to all the parties to the dispute or| conflict to which it refers.” | U. S. Neutrality Preserved. The Californian asserted it “preserves American neutrality and retains, if an aggressor is to be designated, the right of the Congress, under the Constitu- tion, to act.” | “As now drafted,” Senator Borah, Re- publican, Idaho, told newspaper men, “the resolution is designed to keep arms and ammunition out of troubled terri- tory regardless of who is participating.” The Johnson amendment was the only change e in the resolution as it was approved ‘by the House. Violation of the embargo would sub- ject shippers to a fine of $10,000 or im- prisonment for two years, or both. -— Marriage Licenses. Joseph E. Noyes, 24, 1122 Shepherd st. d M. M.

D. C, SATURDAY PAGEANT IS STAGED ‘BY CAPITAL WOMAN Baltimore Sees Play Based on Washington’s Praise of Slave Girl. ‘The “Phyllis Wheatley Pageant,” written by a former member of the District Board of Education and staged here last November with the help of the District Bicentennial Commission, was presented last night in the Booker T. Washington Junior High School, Bal- timore. ‘The pageant, which will be presented at the Baltimore school again tonight, 1s based on the life of a colored slave girl, whose poetry—highly praised by George Washington—was published in England in 1773. Its purpose, accord- ing to the author, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of 1615 S street, one of the first two women to serve on the Board of Education here, is to teach colored children to revere the first President. “Some colored people hold against ‘Washington the fact he was a slave- owner,” Mrs. Terrell explained yester- day. “As a matter of fact, he was not in favor of slavery, and I wish to make that point clear. In writing the slave girl a note praising her poetry, he ad- dressed her as ‘Miss,” an altogether un- heard-of thing in those days.” Mrs. Terrell, who was a member of the Board of Education for 11 years, said that in writing the pageant, she also was moved by a desire “to increase the colored youth's respect for his Afri- can ancestors by showing the native ability and the brilliant literary suc- cess of an African girl stolen from her native land and sold as a slave in this c:’ulgtry when she was but a small The pageant was highly praised by school authorities and others at the time it was presented here. — .

The Chinese legation in Washington stated today that it had not received official news of a truce being signed between the Chinese and the Japanese. While the State Department had not| Teceived .any news either, it ls stated| from reliable sources that a truce pro- | viding for the withdrawal of the Chinese forces to the Yellow River has been arranged, but it is not clear yet whether it is going to be signed by the Chinese generals in command of the forces opposing the Japanese or by the Nanking government itself. In well-informed quarters } is be- lieved that the Nanking government may the armistice preparatory to sign the recognition of the SBtate of Man- chukuo. = ot Chinese Fight Each Other. The necessity of finally yiels to the Japanese mailed fist is dueflt?)‘two factors, it was stated here this morning. One is the fact that the Japanese are able to drive the Chinese to the Yellow River if they want to, and the other is that the Chinese generals supposed to oppose the Japanese are fighting at present with each other under the nose of an intensely amused Japanese army. With civil war breaking out anew with greater violence in China. it is stated that the Nanking government had decided to capitulate and bow be- fore the Japanese military machinery. ‘The stage is now set for the forma- tion of a buffer state between the Great Wall and the Yellow River, and able observers declare that it will not be long before the Provinces of Chihli, and eventually Shantung, will declare their autonomy, and the nomi head of the Manchukuo government, Henry Pu-Yi, will be installed on the throne of his ancestors at Peking, as sovereign *% A—S Northern rate of the Japanese. ! Terms of Trute. The terms of the truce provide that the Japanese troops will remain on Chinese tefritory - until it is evident that the Chinese are acting in good faith. The Japanese forces will not enter the town of Peiping and Tientsin in battle formation, but the present garrisons will be increased to assure the security of the life and w of the Japanese citizens living in those towns. ‘The Japanese troops will be called a police force, to assist in maintenance of law and order by a Chinese general, 'hn.ummecueo{llukminfi; tember, 1931, will be responsible to Japanese general in command. The new arrangements, it is believed, will not interfere for the time being with the presence of the American, British, Italian and French troops, which are in Peiping and in Tientsin on the strength of the Boxer treaty, but it is expected that as soon as the new Pu-Yi government is set up he will de- clare that the presence of these forces Is no longer necessary. —_ CHURCH PLANS SERVICE AT METHODIST CEMETERY Memorial Rites of Eldbrooke Con- gregation to Be Held Tues- day Morning. “Clouds That Hide Christ” is the subject tomorrow morning at Eld- brooke Methodist Episcopal Church, and at the evening service Rev.
