Diamonds in Russia are cheaper relatively than food. , Pure white, flawless stones, cut on Amerl can standards, can -be had at $100 a carat But It Is difficult to get them out of the country on account of the Soviet ban. The sellers usulally are members ot the old aristocracy or nobility, who, like most other classes, find times ex tremely hard. Americans and British ers who were the principal buyers of second hand jewelry, have nearly all left Russia and in consequence the demand for precious stones Is very small and prices have dropped in pro portion.

FOUR NAVY FORCES ASSEMBLE PEKING) WARNED THAT BATTLE IN CHINESE HARBOR WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. Washington. Naval forces of the United States, Japan. Great Britain and France, kept tor patrol work In Asiatic waters, are being assembled at Shanghai, China. Some already are there and others are proceeding, moving as neutral hnt nreosred to act swuuy in the event they are called upon to pro tect their respective nationals, com m.ii and trade interests, now me naced by danger of hostilities between military forces commanded . by iwo provincial governors. The diplomatic agents of the tour governments already have advised the p.nnr forelra office that "the Idea of a naval battle In the greatest harbor ot the east was unthinkable ana couiu not be tolerated," pointing out that the Shanghai waters constitute one vast 'harbor In which the ships of every nation float Admiral Thomas Washington, com mander in chle of the Asiatic squad ron, and Edward Bell, charge ot the legation In Peking, reported to the Washington, government on the situa tion at Shanghai Admiral Washington said nine de stroyers, the Borle, Smith Thompson, Tnrr. Hulbert. J. D. Evans, Preble, Prultt Penquin and Whipple, had been dispatched from the summer case ai rhafnn to Shanshal and, in addition, the gunboat Isabel, flagship ot the river patrol, had been oraereu mere from KIpkang. No mention, however, was contained in these dispatches as to what ships th nthr three nowers now have at Shanghai, or have ordered there. It Is known, however .that tne resing diplomats representing the tour great powers are acting in unison in the Shanghai matter and that all will be or are represented there now by ves sels of their respective naval forces. Mr. Bell, reporting on the conference he and the other diplomatic officers held in Peking with Dr. Koo, the tor elgn minister, declared that, while It was their desire to remain strictly neutral and not to lnterfere'wlth Chin ese internal wars, the diplomats had made it clear to the Chinese minister that a battle between the torts' at wnniranr and the Nanking navy, such as was threatened, would endanger the ships of all nations crowaea in Shanghai waters and would not be tol erated. The diplomatic agents had notinea nr. Koo in previous conversations of the determination ot . their govern ments to use such nans as were available to afford requisite protection to foreign residents and to their trade and properties in or near Shanghai. The situation now developing at Shanghai is attrlbuated by officials here familiar wtlh conditions In China to an intense ravalry which has exist ed a year or more between Generals Chi Hsloh-Yua'n and Lu Yung-Hslang, military governors respectively of Klangsu and Chekiang, adjoining pro vinces. A conflict between them, it is feared, would tend to throw other provincial forces into the struggle, and, it is said, might result in general warfare in China. Legion Meets Next at Fayettevllle.

Phillips, Lexingtdn atorney, as commander to head the North Carolina department of the American legion tor the ensuing year featured the closing session of the sixth annual convention here. A motion to consider ship "ports bill was tabled. The delegates voted unanimously In favor ot meeting next year in Fayette vllle, although Charlotte was mention ed by several delegates, no Invitation was submitted by the Queen City dele gation, it being generally understood that the convention should go to the east It Is probable that Charlotte will be chosen for the 1928 convention.
