AS SECRETARY
*
AMBABSADOR TO ENGLAND IS
SELECTED BY PRESIDENT
COOLIDGE.
Washington,—Charles Evans Hughes
has resigned as secretary of slate and
will be succeeded by Prank B. Kel
lotK. of Mlnnesoto, now embassodar
to Greetn Britain.
The resignation of Mr. Hughes will
be effective March 4 when he, com
pletes four years as bead of the state
department. Mr. Kellogg Is expected
to take office Immediately afterward.
The prospective cabinet change was
announced at the white house. Mr.
Hughes, It was said, desired after 20
years of public life, interrupted only
by a short period, to return to private
life.
In his letter of resignation Mr.
Hughes expressed to President Cool
idge hi* "deep appreciation of the con
fidence you have reposed and of the
privilege of serving under your leader
ship."
The news of Mr. Hughes' withdrawal
from the cabinet Just at this time sur
prised the capital. It had been un
derstood for some months that he de
sired to recoupe his personal fortunes
by acaln engaging In the practice of
law, but recently his friends had said
he probably would remain for at least
another year In the official family of
President Coolidge.
Appointed by President Harding at
the outset of his term of office, the
secretary took from the start a firm
grip on the conduct of the foreign af
fairs of the country, and was the ad
viser of the white house also on many
questions of domestic policy. He car
ried a heavy load of responsibility at
the Washington Arms conference as
head of tbe American delegation, and
tn the period of his service handled
also many Intricate questions growing
out of the war.
Fresh Fighting Begins In China,
Shanghai.—All the Chinese territory
surrounding Shanghai was captured
*- by Chi Hsien-Yuan and hla ally, Sun
Chain-Fang, and outlying villages
were looted, aa a gesture of defiance
to the provisional government at
Peking.
The attack waa aimed particularly
to prevent the return to power of Lu
Young-Hriang, former Tuchun of Chi
kiang province, who was reported pro
ceeding from Nanking toward Shang
hai with Fen«tlen Manchuran troops.
The soldiers of Chi and Sun made
• surprise attack. By night they were
In complete control of the region sur
rounding the foreign settlements.
Fifctitlng In the Lungwha dlatrict had
aubalded, leaving Sun In undisputed
poeeesslon of Lungwha and the arae

fence commissioner appointed by Pek
ing .baa taken refuge with bla subordi
nate commanders in the foreign settle
ment!.
New British Battleships.
London. —The design of tie battle
skips, Nelson and Rodney, now being
bnflt by Oreat Britain under the pro
visions of the Washington naval
treaty- Is so revolutionary, according
to the Dally Express, that it marks
the end of the dreadnaught era, just
as the dreadnaught marked the end of
previous types.
The new ships will be entirely dif
ferent from any others in the world,
the paper says. Both will be floating
fortresses and airdromes and will have
a radius of action covering thousands
of miles. Nine 16 Inch guns will be
mounted on each In three turrents, all
forward. There will be no guns on ths
after part, which will constitute a
flight deck, and the ships will carry
thalr own flying corps and planes.
Another feature. The Express says
la that there probably will be no fun
nels, the products of the furnaces be
ing discharged through pipes running
alongside the stern.
The dlstrtbution of the armor also
will be revolutionary. The magaslnes,
like the guns, being all forward, the
usual armor beM extending for three
parts of the ship's length, will be un
necessary, and the weight saved on
the sides can be added to the deck
protection against high angle flra

ences over the payment to the United
States of war damages and claims
were virtually settled on the first day
of the conference of the allied finance
ministers, who met here In an Inau
gural session lasting 40 minutes. Both

exchange of diplomatic notes and a
private and informal conversation be

THE A&KANcf OI.FAVEK GRAHAM. N. C.
COME AGAINST
. GUI ELEVATION
PRESIDENT WOULD KEEP FAITH
WITH ALL THE OTHER
NATIONS.
Washington. President Coolidge
sounded what Washington general re
gards as the death knell for the move
to bring about the ~ elefatlon of guns
jn the capital ships of the American
navy.
The views of the President on the
proposal to raise the guns to Increase
the!r range were presented with un
mistakable deflnlteness at the white
house. He holds that elevation of the
guns would be a return to the old
International competition in arma
ments and an abandonment of the new
principal of limitation of armaments
to which the United States, with the
other great powers, committed her
self at the Washington t conference
Such an about-face in policy he Is pre
pared to resist with all the power at
his command, confident of the support
of American public opinion.
Interpretation of the naval treaty,
a matter discussed In Congress in con
nection with the elevation proposition,
and economy, a point raised by him
self, are in the President's opinion
minor factors in determining an an
swer to the question. The spirit,
rather than the letter of the treaty,
Mr. Coolidge believes, should be Amer
ica's guide, since technical construc
tion of a treaty may be carried so far
as to render Inoperative any pact be
tween nations.
With senate and house naval com
mittees marking time on the elevation
question, showing no disposition to
push the matter if the administration
disproves It, the presentation of the
President's views is generally accept
ed as meaning the end for. the time
being of any legislation providing for
the raising of the guns.
The elevation of guns of 18 of the
18 capital ships of the American navy
would. In the of Mr. Coolidge,
be balled the world over as a break
ing down of the principle of limita
tion of armaments, and the President
so Intends to inform Congress in re
sponding to the Oerry resolution re
cently adopted by the senate.
Passage of Budget Lightens Task,
Washington.—The house completed
consideration of the var department
supply by carrying 1331,000,000 of
which $40,000,000 would be available

fiscal year on river and harbor im
provements already authorized.
Passage of the army budget, which
provides for continuance of the regu
lar army at ltp present strength,
brought the house total of appropria
tion bills disposed of to six.
The house intends to put the $30,-
000,000 rivers and harbors authorisa
tion bill to a vote before beginning
consideration of another budget, that
for independent offices, including the
veterans bureau snf shipping board,
which will be reported by the appro
priation committee.
New Madison Square Garden.
New York.—The name of Madison
Square Garden will be perpeuated in
a $5,500,000 memorial building, a com
plete amusement and exhibition plant

PREBIDSNT COOLIDGE IS SUS
TAINED IN VETO BY ONE
VOTE MARGIN.

veto of the postal pay increase bill
was sustained in Vhe senate by the
margin of a single vote.
Twenty nine senators supported the

pay measure, passed at thl last ses

its place will be brought forward- the
administration's combination pay and
postal rate Increase bill, but leaders

has small chance ot enactment at this
session.

dent Opposing him were such lead
ers as Jyes, of Washington, party
whip; Wadsworth, of New York;
Reed, of Pennsylvania; Moses of New
Hampshire; McNary, of Oregon, and
Edge, of New Jersey.
Only one of the 34 democrats voting

Utah, and Owen, of Oklahoma, who
were paired, would have so voted had
they been able to cast their ballota.
