Infantry columns marched here and there and cavalry and artillery units dashed about. Columns of artillery lined the roadways, well-groomed horses hitched to the big guns, Groups of officers rode ahead of the artillery units and foot soldiers tramped behind the pieces. IleadqunrtcrH Hllent Motorcycles skidded through the cavalry and Infantry formations, al though no one seemed to know where they were1 going. Headquar ters officials kept a close-mouthed silence and one's observation was hampered everywhere by sentries who frowned on prying eyes. Long trains of brown army trucks moved, up and down the roads from the Japanes wharves, , completing the unloading of military supplies from tho transport ships In the river. Kafhf trtinV wnn imrlpr n hpftW ffimrd. I carrying unslung rifles They hauled bedding, food, cooking outfits, tents, clothing, fuel, ammunition and other war supplies. Smartly uniformed officers rode restless horses and wero surrounded by staff men and guards. Motor cycles, each bearing three men and a machine gun dashed through the milling traffic. Avlutora Seek Wnrmth Japanese aviators warmed them selves around fires at the newly-built airdrome at tho settlement limits. Mechanics "tuned up" tho planes and others filled tho bomb racks with bombs. At the some time Russian and Chi nese laborers continued leveling the new runways of the field. Around the edges of the airdrome 30 planes glistened in the brilliant sunBhlne. Some of them were bombers and some pursuit planes. : All were a bright metallic color, with flaming red tallr- and they bore the rlBlng sun emblem of Japan on their Bides. . No planes had taken off from the field during the day but everything was ready. The field Is now a com plete unit. Tho atmosphere of the placo Indicated that something was about to happen. I.lttlo Firing Today Except for a brief artillery duel over Chapel earlier In tho day in which Chinese and Japanese guns boomed rather harmlessly at each other, there was little firing during tho day. . General Tsal Tlng-Kai, tho dapper, brilliant young poot-commandor of the Chinese forces, shifted his 60,000 troops with surprising, rapidity appar ently to block Japancso moves. Con tinual shifting was In progress within the Japaneso lines, alBO, and each .side apparently sought to counteract tho Increasing preparations In tho other camp. Both sides prepared for something, a visit to the positions of each indi cated, but nobody seemed to know Just what to expect. The Chinese Bankors association presented tho nineteenth routo army which Is defending the city with 260, 000' Mexican dollars about a dollar to each of tho 60.000 men In tho army, as an expression of "gratitude and good will," the bankors Bald. Tho pence preservation committee, a patriotic organization of Shanghai residents, also launched a campaign, for "a national salvation fund for armed resistance to Japancso Inva sion of Chinese territory," Its repre sentatives said. "While tho military mon aro rlak Ing their Uvea and abandoning tholr families," tho committee's statomont said, "It Is tlmo for every clttwn to pledge financial support to tho cam paign, which is for tho good of tho country." Foreign FIhrh Seen Foreign flags, especially American, sprung up everywhere today, flying from flagpoles over buildings, in courtyards, over doorwayB and from most automobiles, trucks, carriages and evon rlcknhas. Small boats ply ing along tho watorfront also carried British or Amor lean flags. Of 48 vehicles investigated, on which either American or British flags woro flying, not one was found to be oned by a national of either country. The Investigation was mado after a complaint was made by tho Japaneso that the flans wero being misused. Chinese Offending t The examination by municipal police revealed that Chinese wero the principal offenders, citizens who wished to guard against tho danger or being halted by tho troops who aro guarding all portions of tho set tlement. Evon Red Cross flags wero being flown on Chlneso commercial vehicles. Two such trucks stopped revealed that one was a produce deal er and another belonged to a truck ing company. Chinese authorities Immediately began an attempt to devise a plan to stop the practice In the meantime. native flag shops were doing a Inud offlco business and Chinese flags wero conspicuous by their absence.

A id rich Editor at Pendleton Bcott Is a well known Portland business man and is president of the Oregon taxpayers equalization and conservation league. Washburno Is a prominent Eugene merchant and Aldrlch is editor and co-publisher of tho Pendleton East Oregon lan. Tho resignations of Ainsworth and Hanlcy were attributed to Spauld lng's attitude In highway matters, which Haniey recently termed a "pro gram of rows and confusion." HIMIUMNO NOT DIHOJUJNTLHI) SALEM, Feb. lfl (ff) Charles K. Spauldlng, who was removed from tho state highway commission when Governor Julius h. Meier announced a new organization, said this morn ing he still "could sco no reason why ho should have been dismissed when all through tho year his every movo hod tho support of tho governor." "My conscience is absolutely clear and I feel I have dono a good Job on tho commission. My work will bear fruit, and what I have started will bo carried through. My solo object In accepting tho appointment to tho commission a year ago was to placo the affairs of tho department on a business basis, and that Is what I have strlvcd to do. All through the year Governor Meier has several times told mo ho was In favor of my every ; move, and never once did I receive anything but commendation from him." Spauldlng mado It plain that he was not disgruntled, and that he would contlnuo to advocate business principles In tho conduct of state government, "Tho first authentic Information, I received Indicating that there was to bo a chango In tho personnel of tho highway commission came Saturday, when Governor Meier called me by long distance and asked if I would resign. . Tho governor Informed mo that my retention as a member of tho commission would causo him con siderable embarrassment. I told Gov ernor Meier that I would not re sign, and I remained true to my word." Spauldlng In discussing tho matter, said ho was preparing a statement which ho would release later today. In this statement, ho said, will be listed soma of the accomplishments of tho commission during tho past yeor, and will show why "I om not shamed of my work." "Tho peoplo of Oregon apparently approved of my economy program," I Spauldlng said as ho pointed to a - letter file which ho said contalnod I mora than two thousand indorse , mcuts received from taxpayers and business men representing all sections of tho stato. "Theso letters indi cate what tho peoplo of Oregon thought of my economy program." Deluged With Cull Spauldlng said he was deluged with tolcphono calls all night long. Tho Salem chamber of commorco and numerous other local organizations previously had sent telegrams to Governor Meier urging that ho be re tained as a member of the commis sion. "One ray of sunshine In the con troversy," Spauldlng added, "was tho announcement that J. C. Ainsworth and William Himloy also arc no longer on the highway commission." Hundreds of letters and telegrams wore received at tho executive de partment Monday, endorsing various persons for tho offlco of highway commissioner. Tho largest number of theso letters and telegrams favored the appointment of A. C. Mursters, Roseburg banker, and Prank Jenkins, co-publisher of newspapers at Rose burg, Med ford and Klomath Palls. Other Indorsements mentioned tho names of T. A. Llvceley, Salem and Joe Roman, Astoria. TO OHOAMK TOO AY PORTLAND, Ore.. Feb. 16 T) An entirely new state highway commis sion, fornwd with tho dual purpose of promoting harmonious and eco nomical administration of one of the largest highway budgets Oregon ever afforded, stood today for the Inspec tion of the commonwealth. At a meeting In Salem today with the governor tho new commission was b ... . tlons of operating tho state's vast system of highways taken to administer one of the larg est highway budgets in the history of the state. During 1932 nearly ' $5,500,000 in stato and federal funds will bo sper.t on Oregon roads. This I construction program takes into con sideration the allocation of $2,333,680 of state funds. $1,600,360 of federal I Aid money, and $1,500,000 Involved In tho forest highway program adopted j in December. J The stato commission co-operates with tho federal bureaus in the ad- ministration of federal funds. J Governor Meier spoke highly of the , three men he has appointed.
