British Troops Take
Precautions Outside
Shanghai Alien Area
Tension After Shooting
Brings Action; Sandbag
Barriers Erected
By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 21.—British
troops initiated precautionary meas
ures outside the western boundary
of the International Settlement to
day as tension heightened after a
shooting affray in which a Chinese
policeman was killed and an Indian
Sikh wounded Thursday night.
Sandbag redoubts were erected at
strategic points, while armored cars
manned by settlement police pa
trolled the area.
Cornell Franklin, American chair
man of the settlement council, as
serted meanwhile that if Americans
outside the settlement road areas
were endangered "we may ask the
United States marines here to take
a hand."
The shooting occurred in a clash
between the settlement policeman
and his Sikh colleague and a group
of men in Chinese dress. Japanese
military authorities blamed General
issimo Chiang Kai-shek's Chungking
government.
They declared the incident was
planned in a deliberate attempt to
breach relations between Japanese
authorities and the settlement coun
cil.
While the British intensified their
watchfulness, Chinese police pa
trolled Yuguen road, one of the main
thoroughfares outside the settle
ment, where the fortress-like resi
dence of Wang Ching-wei, dissident
former premier of the central gov
ernment, is located.
They explained they were there
i to protect Lt. Gen. Seishiro Itagaki,
commander of the Japanese forces in
China, who visited Wang under
heavy escort.

This Changing World
Russians Have 152 Submarines Ranging
From 200-Ton to 1,200-Ton Class
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.
If the figures the Russian min
istry of defense communicated to
the other powers in 1938 are correct,
it may be that the British and the
French navies won't have such an
easy task in obtaining absolute con
trol over the Black Sea in the event
of war with the U. S. S. R.
The Russian surface navy is neg
ligible as a naval force, but her sub
marine strength is far above what
it is generally believed to be.
The Russians have no less than
152 subs ranging from the 1,200-ton
Pravada class to coastal submarines
of 200 tons or less stationed at
Vladivostok. There are at least 42
submarines in commission with a
tonnage between 900 and 1,200
tons. These vessels are new. The
oldest types were launched in 1930
and the most recent ones were com
pleted last year. They carry one or
two three-inch guns and are fitted
to lay mines.
The other submersible units range
between 200 and 500 tons and are
equally modern. Only 56 such ves
sels are stationed in the Far East.
The others are either in the Baltic
or in the Black Sea. Some naval
observers report that in the course
of the last year they had seen
Soviet submarines bearing the num
ber 167. Whether this is an indi
cation of how many submarines
have been completed since the Rus
sian government communicated its
last figures to the other govern
ments is a matter which nobody
knows. The Moscow government
has never been reliable in his com
munications about its naval, air and
military strength; it has always
falsified, one way or the other.
♦ * * *
Of course, the strength of the
surface vessels is insignificant. The
three battleships which are in com
mission now are ole tubs built in
1911. And when they were new they
were not particularly good. Three
new battleships of 35.000 tons each
are reported to be under construc
tion now. How far they are to
wards completion nobody knows ex
cept the Russian and the German
naval architects. That facilities for
budding such ships in the Russian
navy yards are not particularly great
comes from the fact that the U. S.
S. R. tried hard to buy these ships
in sections in the United States.
Only when they were unable to buy
them here, did the Russian gov
ernment decide to go ahead and
build its own capital ships.
There are also three 8.000 ton
cruisers reported completed. Two,
the Voroshiloff and the Kiroff, are
actually in commission. A third
may be only a blue print. The oth
er eight cruisers the Russian navy
has on its active list are so old they
could hardly be described as war
ships.
Of course, the personnel of the
Russian Navy is not comparable to
the seamen of other large navies.
They lack experience and even in
days when Russia was a first-class
power under the Czar the navy was
below par. How much Improved it
is now is difficult to say. One thing
is certain—the Russians have never
had extensive seagoing training. The
last maneuvers of the Baltic fleet,
according to reports from unofficial
observers, were lamentable. It ap
pears that the Black Sea fleet has
never had more than coastal exer
cises and very little target practice.
* * * *
The allies have a strong fleet in
the Mediterranean which in the
event Italy remains nuetral could
be used in the Black Sea success
fully.
Their new ally, the Turks, have
a poor navy, although the seaman
ship of its personnel is excellent.
The Turks have one somewhat ob
solete battle cruiser, the Yavuz,
formerly the Goeben. She has been
repaired after having been tor
pedoed in 1917 by a British sub
marine, but she has never been the
same as when she entered the
Golden Horn in the early days of
the war as a refugee from the
Mediterranean.
The two other cruisers which are
listed as active by the Turkish min
istry of- defense were built in 1903
and are not considered seaworthy.
As auxiliaries the Turks have four
modern destroyers and two built in
1906. Turkey's seven submarines
are in good shape and quite modern.
Added to those of the allies which
could now enter the Dardanelles
they might prove an efficient weapon
against the Russian warships and
coastwise transports.
Ankara
_(Continued From First Page.)
full blast for tomorrow's “plebiscite”
in the Polish Western Ukraine and
Western White Russia, former
Polish territories occupied by the
Red Army after the German-Rus
sian partition of the land.
Delegates will be elected to an
assembly, which, in turn, will vote
whether to join the Soviet state
through annexation to the Ukrainian
and White Russian constituent re
publics of the U. S. S. R. The result
was a foregone conclusion as were
Adolf Hitler's famous plebiscites.
Former prisoners, peasant women
and factory workers were among the
nominees for the Assembly. Agi
tators throughout the region were
urging a vote “for a new and happy
life with the U. S. S. R.
A Tass (official Soviet news agen
cy) dispatch from Kaunas denied a
report attributed to the Lithuanian
newspaper Twenty Amgeus that al
most 200.000 Ukrainians had escaped
from the territory occupied by the
Soviet army into Germany.
Joseph Stalin, Premier - Foreign
Commissar Vyacheslaff Molotoff and
Mikhail Kalinin, chairman of the
Presidium, relaxed from their recent
labors of negotiating with foreign
statesmen by attending the premiere
last night of the Armenian opera
"Almast.”
Pacts Incompatible.
Izvestia declared that a Turkish
Russian agreement was incompatible
“with Turkey's undertakings under
the British-French-Turkish treaty.”
Izvestia said the treaty creates a
new balance of power in the Medi
terranean and added:
“The Soviet Union, being the
greatest Black Sea power, must keep
a watchful eye on everything related
to the approaches to the Black Sea.”
Tire editorial, accompanying the
published text of the treaty signed
Thursday night at Ankara, began
with an analysis of the circum
stances in which Britain and France,
on one hand, or Turkey on the other
would be required to go to the
other's aid in the Mediterranean.
Tracing the history of British
French-Turkish co-operation, it
pointed out that the Western pow
ers had become belligerents since the
first temporary understanding last
spring and declared that “in light of
the new situation” the treaty ac
quired “particular significance.”
Izvestia acknowledged British
French interest because of Turkey's
strategic position in the Eastern
ivicuu-erranean.
“However, certain circumstances
lead one to believe that plans of
British-French diplomacy went be
yond a mere pact with Turkey,”
Izvestia declared.
Cites Chamberlain Speech.
“British Prime Minister Chamber
lain in his speech in Parliament
stated that British-French-Turkish
negotiations virtually were concluded
three weeks ago and signature of the
pact was postponed in connection
with negotiations conducted at Mos
cow by Turkish Minister of Foreign
Affairs Sukru Saracoglu.”
These negotiations had been sus
pended and Saracoglu had left Mos
cow for Ankara before the treaty was
signed.
Izvestia continued:
“Chamberlain pointed out that
hopes were entertained for conclu
sion of a parallel mutual assistance
pact between the U. S. S. R. and
Turkey.
"However, that proved impossible
in view of the incompatibility of the
terms of the Soviet-Turkish agree
ment with Turkey’s undertakings
under the British-French-Turkish
treaty.
“From Chamberlain’s statement it
follows that British-French diplo
macy placed definite hopes on a
Soviet-Turkish agreement. The
British and French press alleged
that the British-French-Turkish
treaty represents a ‘test of Soviet
German friendship.’
“All this inevitably creates the
impression that there existed cer
tain plans to drive a wedge between
Germany and the Soviet Union.
“It becomes clear that an unsuc
cessful attempt was made, through
parallel pacts between the U. S. S. R.

No Change in Balkans
Without Italy, Says Gayda
ROME, Oct. 21 IJP).—Virginio
Gayda, in a discussion of the An
kara pact, declared today that
"nothing may be attempted or done
in the Balkans without Italy," which
has strategic as well as economic
interests there.
Gayda, who often reflects the
Italian government’s views, con
firmed a belief that Italy would
refrain from any immediate action
as a result of the British-French
Turkish mutual-assistance treaty.
Gayda asserted the Mediter
ranean and Balkan situations had
been fixed since agreement in May
among London, Paris and Ankara,
with British loans to Turkey and
the French cession to her of the Re
public of Hatay.
Italy will stand by now to follow
developments in the functioning of
I the pact, Gayda said, “with usual
; calm and undivided attention."
Harvard Seismograph
I Records Two Quakes
the Associated Press.
HARVARD. Mass., Oct. 21.—The
Harvard College seismographic sta
tion recorded two small earthquakes
early today, one at 4 a.m. (E. S. T.)
about 150 miles away, and the other
—a smaller shock at a greater dis
tance—at 3:09 a.m.
L. Don Leet, seismologist at the
station, termed both quakes “nor
mal” and said the first of the two
apparently was a “small adjustment
shock” coming as an aftermath to
the earth tremors which shook New
York, New England and Eastern
Canada Thursday.
He said there was “no reason to
read any danger” into the shocks.

Peace Chance Rises
As Line-up of Forces
Becomes More Clear
Decision Up to Stalin;
Will He Stop Now or
Start New Orgy?
By COL. FREDERICK PALMER,
Noted Military Expert.
For the first time, we have some
thing like the final line-up of forces,
sea, land and air, both European
and Asiatic, vital for their policy
to both civil and warrior chiefs.
Now they can say, “We know where
we are and what we have to do."
Peace does not seem as remote as
before the Anglo-French-Turkish
pact was signed.
In any effort to stop this war
before it begins “in earnest” on pos
sibly a much larger scale, diplomats
now know which way the guns laid
on the council table will be shoot
ing. This removes at least one
hopeless embarrassment from any
secret tentative approach to nego
tiations.
Reckoning up the armed power
of the nations at war and that of
the nations which might be drawn
in, the decision rests with Joseph
Stalin. Will he be content with
what Russia has gained and put
the pincers on Hitler, or will he
start an orgy of shooting on his own
account?
Stalin Europe's Master.
In one sense, Stalin is master of
the present European situation, and
in another It is his master. Think
ing only in terms of force applied,
and potential force which may be
applied, let us review the progress
of allied statesmanship from the
outset of the war, since the Anglo
French mission's humiliation in
Moscow. The links take form in
revealing the chain of a necessitous
policy.
With Russia aligned with Ger
many, as the war drew near, the
allies had more reason to consider
whether Italy would be neutral: then
consider whether she would remain
neutral, and to bring the pressure
of the steel hand under the velvet
glove of diplomacy to bear to keep
her neutral. It was not for them
to underestimate Premier Mussolini's
nuisance value.
He had 800 bombers, nearly 4.000
planes, old and new, in all; 80 sub
marines, not to mention his much
publicized little suicide speed tor
pedo boats, as a threat to the French
ferry to Morocco, and, in the narrow
passage between Sicily and the
African coast, to the French as well
as the British life-line through Suez
to the East and also to the oil fields
of Iran and Iraq.
In the interplay of forces, in
making a virtue of a loss. Anglo
French diplomacy could make the
most of the Russo-German pact as
a threat to Italy s interests in the
Balkans. And on the borders of
the Suez Canal was Turkey, also
a power in the Balkans.
Sub Feat Boosted Morale.
The signing of the Anglo-French
Turkish pact came on the heels of
German rejoicing over the immortal
feat of Submarine Comdr. Prien in
sinking the Royal Oak, and the air
raids over the Firth of Forth and
Scapa Flow. German morale was
strengthened with the promise that
victory would be theirs if they had
to fight a long war.
The German communique report
ing the German offensive on the
western front, as it happened, was
timed with the pact. It literally im
plied, whether for concealment of
plans or not, that, having recovered
a strip of lost German soil, there
the German Army rested. This, too,
was good for German morale in its
suggestion that responsibility rested
with the allies for a future “bath of
blood.”
The outlook, in all precedent, is
that the German Army will rest
after the heavy autumn rains have
begun falling and winter is in the
offing. Through the winter, the
Germans may be training reserve
manpower for the spring offensive.
But, by spring, the British, at the
rate they are training, should have
500.000 men in France to insure the
stalemate on the western front while
they wear Germany down by block
ade.
Meanwhile, the Germans can con
tinue their submarine warfare. So
far. they have sunk 60 per cent more
French ships than the French build
in a year. At the rate up to this
writing, they would sink 1,500.000
tons of British ships in a year, while
the British build only 900,000 tons a
year. But that would leave the Brit
ish still with 20,000,000 tons.
"No Man s Sea uerman Purpose.
Through the winter, too, the Ger
mans, instead of sending two squad
rons of bombers against British
naval ships and bases, may send
squadron after squadron. Evidently
the present German purpose, fur
ther supported by pressure on Nor
way and Sweden, is to make a no
man's sea of the North Sea, or even
to drive all British and neutral ships
off the North Sea.
Now we cross Europe to another
sea, the Black, on the Russian,
Turkish and Rumanian shores. If
Russia moves to recover Bessarabia,
she is at war with Turkey. This
will draw in Britain, in keeping her
agreement with Rumania. Greece
may be drawn in, too, along with
Turkey against Russia. Turkey
wants to be friendly with Russia.
She does not want war. No nation
wants war.
But Turkey certainly will be at
war with Russia if Russia strikes at
Iran and Iraq for the Persian Gulf.
This insures strong British military
support. Britain must defend the
gulf and the approach to India.
But the main point in the Anglo
French-Turkish pact is that the
Dardanelles is not closed to the al
lies, as Stalin desired. Britain and
France could easily spare 50 subma
rines for the Black Sea; battleships
and cruisers, too, which might make
it not only a no man's sea, but an
allied sea.
Soviet Air Efficiency Doubted.
Russia has more planes than Tur
key, Rumania and Greece together,
but, if professional reports now com
ing in count, Russian aviation effi
ciency cannot be very high, to Judge
by the breakdown of her mechaniza
tion on her advance into Poland.
The big question mark is over
Moscow. Since Russia faces Japan
in the Far East, it is interesting, in
view of the great United States fleet
in the Pacific, that Ambassador
Grew’s frank statement in Tokio
should have followed President
Roosevelt’s appeal to Russia in be
half of Finland.

Mars Hits Cupid; War Boosts
Prices of Diamonds Sharply
By THOMAS R. HENRY,
■tar Staff Correspondent.
ROTTERDAM (By Mail).—Mars
and Cupid are running afoul of
each other.
One side effect of the war is
an enormous increase in the cost
of engagement rings the world over.
The intricate story is told by Ant
werp and Amsterdam diamond
merchants stopping here.
Already, they say, the wholesale
price is up from $40 to $60 per carat
for the full-cut white or blue-white
diamond, and they expect it to go
higher.
Great Britain, through its South
African mines, has almost a
monopoly on the rough diamond
supply. Practically all the cutting
and polishing is done in Holland
and Belgium. The polishing is done
with boart, diamond powder made
by grinding black and brown stones
which are not of gem quality. But
boart is a war material used in
finishing guns. Exports naturally
were stopped when war broke out
and Germany, in anticipation, al
ready had bought up most of the
available supplies in the neutral
countries.
Hence the cost of this boart, which
is a considerable item in the price
of the finished diamond, has in
creased about fourfold. Even rough
stones of gem quality could be
ground into boart in case of neces
sity. When the rough stone dealers
saw that their market was to be
shut off they started to hoard the
supplies on hand. The price of fine
quality rough stones is now up about
30 per cent in Antwerp.
About half a rough stone is lost
in making a polished diamond. The
big diamond merchants have not
even started to calculate the extra
costs which will come from the wage
advances necessitated by the mob
ilization of many of their skilled
workers in the Dutch and Belgium
armies. Still another factor in the
price increase has been the enor
mous demand, especially from the
United States, for speculation in the
prospect of still greater price ad
vances.
The normal price for a one-carat
white polished diamond full cut—
that is, ground with 52 facets—runs
around $250 in Antwerp. The blue
white, best of all, runs from $300 to
$350. When these prices are shot
up from $60 to $100 and the United
States tariff and retail profit added,
together with the increased cost ot
insurance, the eventual cost is hard
to estimate.
Class Division Based
On Ability to Learn
Urged in School Talk
U. of Pennsylvania
Professor Speaks at
Conference Here
A revised course of study based
on division of children according
to their ability to learn was rec
ommended by Dr. Francis M. Garver
of the University of Pennsylvania
today to improve education in the
elementary schools.
Dr. Garver was the first speaker
at the all-day regional conference
on elementary school problems at
Miner Teachers’ College. He was
introduced by Dr. Garnet C. Wilk
inson, first assistant superintendent
in charge of colored schools of the
District.
Dr. Garver said numerous studies
had shown that fully 10 per cent of
all students in elementary and
high schools and colleges read so
poorly that they could not do re
quired work sufficiently well to keep
up with their classes. He attributed
more than 90 per cent of college
failures to poor reading habits.
To improve elementary school ed
ucation and to bring children
through the elementary grades
without delay, he proposed three
plans. The first was to reduce all
subjects taught to five categories
in five or six natural work periods a
day. All activities should be cen
tered around co-operative enter
prise. he said, and better provision
should be made for differences in
thP fl bill tiPS nf rbilHrors
Royce E. Brewster, specialist in
the division of consultation and field
service, United States Office of Ed
ucation, and Charles W. Florence,
associate professor of education at
Howard University, were the speak
ers at the session on elementaly
school guidance. Miss Edith A.
Lyons, principal of the Morgan
Demonstration School here, pre
sided.
There was to be another general
session of the conference this after
noon with Dr. Gertrude P. Driscoll,
of Teachers College, Columbia Uni
versity, speaking on “Guidance in
the Elementary Schools and how it
might be administered.”
Dr. Francis M. Wood, director of
colored schools, Baltimore, was to
preside. The conference was to
conclude with a general summary of
its work by A. Kiger Savoy, assistant
superintendent in charge of colored
elementary schools here and chair
man of the program committee.
Teachers were present from the
District's colored schools. Howard
University, Baltimore and Virginia
and Pennsylvania.

fought back as best we could. The
submarine surfaced and dived con
tinually, firing with its guns. I
think they wanted to save the ex
pense of a torpedo.
We zig-zagged all over the ocean
it seemed, firing back and forth at
each other for four hours. Because
of our gun the submarine didn't risk
coming too close, and with the
darkness adding to the confusion
they failed to touch us with a shell.
At 12:45 a.m., the submarine com
mander must have become tired of
this. Anyway he let go a torpedo—
and the fight was over.
The torpedo struck us so unex
pectedly and we abandoned ship so
quickly I didn’t have time even to
send an SOS for help. All 36 crew
members got away safely in two life
boats.
ine submarine cruised about us
as we bobbed in the sea swells but
no one spoke to us. The Heronspool
sank very slowly and we would have
boarded her again if the sub had
only left.
Finally, four hours after it was
hit, the freighter sank. The sub
stuck by us, however, for another
hour until the American liner Pres
ident Harding came into sight, then
left.
The American ship, which was
hurrying to the scene in answer to
the French oil tanker’s distress sig
nals, saw us and picked us up. Two
British warships meanwhile had
come to the aid of the French tank
er's survivors.
All the Heronspool crew are in
good condition. None were hurt
when the hurricane hit the Presi
dent Harding last Tuesday night,
Injuring many of her passengers and
crew.

Members of the Rock Creek Park
“horsey set” groomed their mounts
today in preparation for the semi
annual bridle path horse show which
will be put on at 10 a.m. tomorrow
by the Office of National Capital
Parks.
Albert Clyde-Burton, chairman of
the committee arranging the show,
said today his committee had de
cided to allow Tommy Owen, 4-year
old son of Thornton W. Owen, one
of the members of the committee, to
enter his pet burro in the children's'
saddle pony class.
Tommy had the committee in a
quandary this week as to whether
to consider a burro a legitimate
“saddle pony.” Inasmuch as burros
are members of the horse tribe, the
| committee decided to let the furry
i little beast enter with legitimate
horses in this class.

A
Byrd Sees Workers
Pul Final Touches
On Snow Cruiser
37-Ton Mechanical
Monster to Be Taken on
Antarctic Expedition
Bt the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd was an interested
spectator today as workmen put fin
ishing touches on a giant snow
cruiser, newest aid to Antarctic ex
ploration.
The famous explorer will have the
37-ton mechanical monster aboard
ship when he sails for the Antarctic
next month. He said he hoped the
cruiser would permit ground ex- *
ploration of as much territory in a
month as in all previous expeditions
combined.
Admiral Byrd yesterday got his
first look at the cruiser which has
been a-building for many weeks. It
was designed by Dr. Thomas C. Poul
ter. scientific director of Armour In
stitute of Technology.
Cruiser 55 Feet Long.
Dr. Poulter said he hoped to test
the snow cruiser on the Indiana
sand dunes, the nearest approach
to Antarctic terrain in this area,
but that it might not be completed
in time. Because Antarctic waters
are open for only two months a year,
the expedition must leave Boston
by the first week in November, ht
said.
The cruiser is 55 feet long and 20
feet high. It has living quarters for
a crew of four, a cruising range of
5.000 miles, an airplane and almost
all the comforts of home—including ’
upholstered chairs and electric
razors.
Dr. Wade to Direct Work.
Dr. F. A. Wade, senior scientist of
the United States Antarctic Service,
will direct the scientific work on the
cruiser. The personnel of the cruiser,
which was disclosed yesterday, will
consist of Dr. Wade, Felix Ferranto,
28, Brooklyn, N. Y„ United States
Marine Corps radio operator; Charles
Meyer, 34, Dunedin, Fla., chief ma-*
chinist mate of the United States
Navy, and Theodore A. Petras. 29,
San Diego, Calif., United States Ma
rine Corps pilot.
Dr. Wade said the cruiser would
be used in geographic exploration
for a year and then will transport
scientific parties to temporary bases
for weather surveys, mineral an
alyses and other studies. The cruis
er's plane will be equipped with 11 „
cameras, each fixed at a different "
angle so as to map 100 square miles
at a single exposure.
New Pemmican Formula
Developed for Explorers
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Oct. 21 oPV—
A Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology scientist said yesterday he
had packed a new energy wallop
into the pemmican of Admiral
Byrd's Antarctic explorers—and
made the old Indian trail food as
tasty as something mother used to
bake.
Dr. Robert S. Harris reported he,
had developed a new formula, giv
ing more calories per ounce of the
concentrated he-man's ration than
anything in that line that has yet
hit the trail in polar regions.
The new pemmican—3 tons of
which will be shipped for the ad
miral and his men on their coming
Antarctic trek—has the further ad
vantage. Dr. Harris said, of being
precooked and of having a “nicer
flavor" than previous trail dishes
eaten by the adventurers.
Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Oct. 21—Scattered
buying, stimulated by continued
drought in the Southwest winter
wheat belt and by a bullish private
crop report, today lifted wheat
prices nearly a cent a bushel.
May contracts advanced to 85 U.
up 34 cent, while July, representing
the new crop, also was up \ cent
at 8234. |
No rain fell overnight in the hard
winter wheat belt and generally
clear weather was indicated for
most of the area today and tomor
row. The weekly forecast indicated
the possibility of some precipitation
toward the end iOf the period.
Cargill, Inc., a leading grain
house, reported after the close yes
terday that unless the record-break
ing drought changed soon it ex
pected a very small 1940 crop of
winter wheat.
r-reseni conditions, tney said, were
similar to those of the fall of 1932,
when the crop harvested the follow
ing year was placed at 376,000,000
bushels. Such a crop would com
pare with 551,000,000 this year, 687,
000,000 in 1938 and a 10-year 1928
1937 average of 687,000.000 bushels.
Moisture conditions during the
next few weeks, however, the report
added, would be the determining
factor in the 1940 winter wheat crop.
Corn prices held about steady In
light trade. Initial buying was
scattered and some locals later
turned to the selling side.
Oats and rye advanced fractionally,
and lard was about unchanged.
At 11 a.m„ wheat was ->-1 cent
higher, December, 85>4: May, 84**,
and corn was unchanged to '4 down;
December, 48**; May, 51**.
