Soldiers ar holding their positions on natural mounds, graves or anything that affords the slightest protection. Many of these warriors fire into the alr, instead of aiming at the enemy.

The background possibility that the Shanghai conflict would furnish the long awaited opportunity and excuse for a battle between Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian war lord, and Wu Pel-Fu, head of the Pekin gov- ernment, loomed large in the past twenty-four hours. Reports reaching here from Pekin and Mukden, Manchuria, said that Chang Tso-Lin had issued an ultima- tum, declaring that unless the Chi Shieh-Yuan army 'stopped its at- tack" on Gen.

RED BATHING BEAUTY IS SAFE IN MICHIGAN The Secretary of State Finds No Law Against Them Up There. Lansing, Mich, Sept. 6. -- The crimson paper bathing beauties pasted on the windows of thousands of Michigan automobiles are safe for another five months at least. So are the red rubber devils that have recently joined the bathing girls as automobile ornaments. "There is no law," said Secretary of State Charles J. DeLand, "which would permit us to revoke automo- bile licenses because machines are decorated with pictures of girls in red bathing suits nor for that mat- ter with pictures of any sort. As long as the red advertisements do not cover the numbers on the license plates themselves, they are entirely within the law." "Of course," Mr. DeLaad sug- gested, "if the people of Michigan wish to end the red bathing girl, they will have an opportunity next January. The Legislature meets then and the Legislautre, if it & y de- | vestigate the hotel guestion in King- iso Se ne Sh 88 ans RE be which would give this departmen & company at that time, was eh some ground for action."

SEVEN ARMED BANDITS, SECURE $8,000 LOOT Jewellery Proprietor Grappled With Bandit But Had to Release Hold. Montreal, Sept. 6.--Seven armed bandits held up Charles Herman and bis clerk in a jewellry store at 831 St. Lawrence boulevard yesterday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, smashed a show window with iron bars, and, amid a fusillade from four revolvers escaped in a stolen automobile with diamond rings worth $8,000. Heroism on the part of Mr, Her- man, who flung himself on the ban- dit who had taken the tray of rings saved part of the loot. The jeweller and the thief wrestled on Lhe side- walk for a moment, then bandits re- maining in the parked automobile, 'and two who had awed the clerk, all opened fire with their guns. Those on the spot at the moment, howev- er, think that the armed men used blank cartridges, otherwise at least three persons would have been hit. - PARTITION OF ERIN ON RELIGIOUS BASIS Is Denounced by Editor of the Gaelic American of New York.

The survey was auth- orized by the joint hote] committee at a meeting in the city committee rooms on Friday afternoon. This step was decided following a conference with Willlam R. Flory, a director of the service department of the system, who outlined the pur- pose of such a survey. The day of small hotels had passed, he said. The modern hotel was a big business, or industry, and not a one-man af- fair and no organization! would come to Kingston and build one on their own responsibility. Comumnity sub- scriptions were needed. Here the Hockenbury System came in. They would undertake to secure these at a cost to the city of not more than 6 1-2 pér cent. of the amount raised. They preferred: to raise two-thirds of the cost of a hotel, It was a new thing to his company for the city to give a bond, as some hotel schemes in Kingston have pro- posed. But before his company at- tempted such an ~ enterprise they made a survey of a city to see if it were possible to raise the amount desired. Forty-five per cent, of the cases they investigated they turned down. Oshawa was one, They had already financed sixty hotels, some costing over a million dollars each, and they had only had two failures where they failed to reach the two- thirds of the amount of stock they undertook to sell after they had made the survey, Favorably Impressed. The system had had dealings with the city in the past through L. A. Guild and the Rotary Club, which had appointed a committee to in- favorably impressed with the pros- pects of financing a hotel in King- ston, He thought a 100-room hete] was all Kingston needed at present. The committee considered Mr. Flory's proposal a good one and on motion of Ald. Kid and Ald. Nash a survey was authorized. According to the application signed it costs the city nothing and Kingston is under no obligation but the firm has the op- tion on the selling of the stock if the survey is favorable, They are bound to raise two-thirds or the amount they undertake to sell. Mr. Flory said the survey might be finished and ready for presenta- tion to council by a representative of the firm inside of a month. His company was not working in con- junction with any builder or opera- tor, but were willing to assist the city in such matters. An Apology Offered. The meeting of the committee was primarily called to confer with re- presentatives of the Knott hote] com- pany, but a hitch occurred at the outset. The "Knott propossi," taken up at the previous meeting of the committee, was denied by 8. R. Real, who was present, representing the Knott people, in so far as the pro- posal said the company would give a guarantee bond of $50,000 a year. If he had understood that he would not have come to Kingston, he said. No company could be found who decrying a big! bond issue such as fifty per cent.) more} as needed. This, on the Guess OF KINGSTON ) TO AN HOTEL The Hockenbury System Will Advise Upon the Local Possibilities--One, Hundred Room «Hotel Is Considered As Sufficient At Present. would give such a bond. Joseph Nash was blamed for creating this impression, of which the company had fot been notified, and H. C. Nickle offered an apology on behalf of the Board of Trade for bringing Mr. Real here '"unaer false pre tenses." + On motion of himself and Capt. Donnelly it was decided for the committee to begin all over again with the Knott people. Mr. Nash, saying he was not a member of the hotel committee, jeft the room. At the close of the meeting, a motion by Capt. Donnelly was carried, re- imbursing Mr. Real for his expenses incurred in coming to the city. The committee will wait for the result of the survey before taking any more steps, but some interesting information regarding a hotel was furnished in the conference with Mr, Real. 100-Room Hotel Sufficient. Mr. Real thought a 100-room hotel was enough for a start in Kingston. It would be easy to add livery 'site, could be built for $400, 000, meaning $300,000 for construc tion, and $60,000 each for rite and furnishings. This would be dre-proot construction and every room with bath. He would like to count on a gross rental from the rooms of $25. 000 a year. The sub-rentals of stores on the ground floor would likely carry the taxes. He claimed his firm was a very reliable one, operating twenty-two hotels, and that it would pot gtart in Kingston unless it were sure of success. He spoke a good word for the Hockenbury System, B. N. Steacy, president of the Board of Trade, suggested that Mr. Real be heard again if the survey went through.

A. Macpherson and H. C. Nickle thought that the Randolph site at $140,000 was too dear for a hundred- room building. Those present in addition to the representatives mentioned were Ald. Peters, chairman, Mayor Angrove, B. N, Steacy, Ald. C. C. Nasa, Ald. H." Kelly, Ald. Kidd, J. Nash, i. Cohen, C. A. Macpherson, Capt. John Don- nelly, H. C. Nickle and City Clerk Dr. Sands.
