severe righting between Japan
ese f oTces and ' troops of General
Man Chan-Shan in the Nonni rlv
er region. In which a Japanese
officer and one soldier were killed
yesterday, was reported in a com
xnunlque issued at Manchurian
headquarters here today.
A Japanese ultimatum demand
ing that General Mah resign as
chief of the province of Heilung-
kiang. and that his army evacuate
Tsitsihar, was rejected on Instruc
tions from Chang Hsueh-Liang,
deposed governor of Manchuria,
who ordered General Mah to de
fend his territory to the last.
The ultimatum expired at mid
night.
Authority For Order
Is Held In Doubt
The, Manehurlan governor's or
der, the communique said, was
based on the following reasons:
(1) It was not clear whether
the ultimatum represented the
personal opinion of General Hon-
Jo or whether It emanated from
the Tokyo government.
(2) General Hon jo's represen
tative lacked adequate creden
tials.
(3) Before the time limit ex
pired, Japanese attacked Chinese
lines.
Fierce fighting lasted until late
yesterday afternoon and was still
proceeding, further telegrams
from Tsitsihar reported.
A Japanese second lieutenant
and one soldier were reported
killed in a cavalry skirmish.
The morale of the Chinese
troops was excellent, General Mah
declared. There had beau' no
contact as yet between Infantry
forces on both sides, he added

sighed and tat back in its seats.
Spaulding made two proposals.
one for lower salary scales clear
down the line In the highway de
partment, the savings to go into
the emergency employment fund;
and the other for staggering the
work of some 700 to 800 regular
patrolmen and employes so that
more men could be employed.
Spaulding advanced his program
solely, he said, to provide more
employment for men who were
destitute.
His resolution was turned in
after appeals were presented by
various counties for just as much
money as possible for employ
ment, most of whom wanted the
money right away. Before he
got done presenting his resolu

sisted Hanley. Spaulding replied
that he thought he had given
enough publicity to his proposals
that all the members would know
very well what he stood for.
Then Mr. Ainsworth said:
"I am not able to second the
resolution now. I think perhaps
we may be able to do something
along this line, hut I want time
to study it. I will investigate
and be ready to act at the next
meeting which will be held about
December 1."
This satisfied Mr. Spaulding
and the flurry ended. The in
ference is that before the next
meeting Ainsworth will try to
work out a solution that will
satisfy Spaulding, perhaps put
ting the question up to Governor
Meier.

AT PORTLAND IM
The Community Service com
mittee's drive for wtater relirf
funds, delayed for the past two
weeks, will begin at once, mem
bers of the financial committee,
which met at the chamber of
commerce yesterday afternoon,
decided. In a statement nnitar.
ed by the group, the goal for the
drive will be "from S10.000 to
$15,000, and more if necessary."
Composing the financial com
mittee, which will launch the
campaign, are: T. A. Wlndlshar,
chairman; J. T. Delaney and Wil- -
nam McGIlchrlst Jr.
Following the plan which last
year proved successful, the com
mittee will address a letter to
each business house, office, de
partment, lodge, club and other
groups, appealing for financial
support and asking that the name
of one person be submitted as so
licitor and collector for that or
ganization. The work of tbe
lieutenants in the drive will be
pverseen by the various financial
committeemen for Community
Service.
All Relief Funds
To be Centralized
In its statement, the cimmlttee
commends the workers at the
state capitol for already having
taken steps to provide relief
funds.
Under, the financial committee
of Community Service, all Salem
relief funds will, by common un
derstanding, be centralized, ac
cording to the statement.
The question of how much each
person solicited will be asked to
contribute Is answered In the
statement as follows:
"An amount equal to a day's
wages each month for six months.
xsovemDer to April inclusive. i
the amount the solicitors will ask
of those who can reasonably af-
rord It. Each contributor, bow
ever, will be regarded as best
ualified to know what he or she
can afford in consideration of
his personal responsibilities. But
a disposition to evade a fair meas
ure of cooperation, It Is under
stood, will meet with protest a ad
more flagrant cases by something
kin to the ' flying squadron of
liberty loan days."
Gas prices In Salem were down
half cent yesterday. But that
does not spell a gas war. Rather
was the public's 18 -cent price
the final outcome of a long-drawn
out move to bring the differential
between Portland and Salem prices
to a satisfactory conclusion for
Salem.
The tank wagon price to deal
ers is now 15 cents. Both deal
ers' and consumers' figures are
but a half cent higher than the
Portland figures now, the half
cent being merely the freight
charge of bringing gasoline to Sa
lem from Portland.
The new freight rate on gas, by
recent order of the utilities com
missioner, Is .00495 cent a gallon.
The new prices are finale to the
gas war of last July, when deal
ers started a move to absorb the
differential, and a concession
made now by the oil companies
themselves. Formerly, the normal
differential was a cent and a half,
and was swelled during wars to
from three to four cents.
