FORTY-SIXTH YEAR—NO. 22/ JAPAN AGREES TO PROTOCOL AMENDMENT Heavy Assaults of Kiangsu Forces Repulsed iiiomcM SHANGHAI REPULSED BY CITY DEFENDERS Continuous Firing Since Satur day Results in Many Cas ualties in Chinese War SHANGHAI, Sept. 30. (By The Associated Press.) —Heavy counter attacks were made by the invading Kiangsu forces throughout last night in the Malo and Kianing sectors, west of Shanghai. Military headquarters of the de fending Chekiang armies at Lung wha claim these attacks were all re pulsed. The fourth day of continuous fighting between the rival Chinese armies near Shanghai was completed tonight and no evidence of an early termination of the battles could be expected. The battles on the Chinese' front started Saturday morning with the opening of an offensive by the Che kiang-Shanghai forces against the be seiging Kiangsu province armies. A muffled roar of guns from the bat tle front 20 miles away continued up to 9: 30 last night. The offensive, which has resulted in continuous firing since it opened on Saturday, has enabled the Che kiang forces to drive the Kiangsu forces back six miles, according to Gen. Hsia Chao Lin, commander of the Chekiang forces in the center of activity. More wounded reached Shanghai today than on any one day since the fighting started. All hospitals are overflowing and it is reported that measures are being taken to exclude any more of the wounded from the foreign settlements whose facilities are exhausted. Foreign physicians personally are renting and holding rooms in the public hospitals for the accommoda tion of their own foreign patients which otherwise would be taken up by the wounded Chinese. Spurred to action by representa tions from the international settle ment, it is understood the Chekiang leaders are planning an emergency camp to provide for the steadily in creasing number of wounded. The dead have been left where they fell, according to the witnesses, and this practice has resulted in a carrion odor extending over the whole battle area.. CHANG’S ARMIES CAPTURE KIENPING.

This announcement is made today by Walter Rylander, the moving spirit in the enterprise, and associated with him is Prof. R. S. Wooster, a hatching and poultry expert who has come to Americus from the State College of Agriculture at Athens. Another announcement of interest made by Mr. Rylander is that he and his associates have purchased the “Happy Feed” store, of which Bob Edwards is manager, and this business will be run in connection with the hatchery and the East Point Poultry farm, located four miles east of Americus. HATCHERY CAPACITY IS 20,000 EGGS. Both the hatchery and the feed and poultry supply departments will be operated in the old Piggly-Wigg ly stand, with Bob Edwards ia charge of feed and poultry supply departments, and Prof. Wooster in charge of the hatchery and poultry farm. The big incubators now in oper ation are the latest model Buckeye machines, with every modern conve nience,” says Mr. Rylanaer. “These machines are so arranged that the eggs of each individual arc kept sep arate from those of others. The eggs are placed in drawers with the name of the owner on each drawer. We have special equipment for test ing eggs and we are arranging the operation of the machines so that the owners of eggs- may be pres ent the day the chicks are hatched and see their chicks removed from the incubator and to secure chickens and all unhatched eggs. In this way there can be no room for any one to doubt that he is getting a square deal. “In fact we shall insist that our customers visit the paint as of'.en as they desire and see how their hatches are progressing. “Our first hatches will start Mon day, October 6, and we have design ed Mondays as hatching days. That is we prefer that eggs brought in during the week be placed in ths machine on the Monday following their receipt. In this way the hatches will come off universally on Tuesday. Eggs may be left at any time, however. “We will hatch eggs for the pub lic, or we will buy eggs outright. Our charges for hatching will be four cents per egg, with a lower price for eggs in large quantities. Those who desire to sell us the’r eggs will find a cash market at any time. “Day old chicks will be for sale to the public here and elsewhere, in quantities of from one to 10,000 with a gurantee of 100 per cent hva delivery. We also guarantee to hatch every hatchable egg for those who entrust their eggs with us. “The hatchery will buy eggs, and chickens of any and all varieties, paying market prices,” says Mr. Ry lander, as has been their cus tom for the past year.

The country has not forgotten too that on the first day President Harding went in as chief executive, he said: “The sort of government I have in mind ougnt to take advantage of the capacity and experience of a man like Gov ernor Coolidge by bringing him into the Cabinet counsels.” “If Calvin Coolidge did not ob tain some inside information touch ing the corruption of the Teapot Dome from these cabinet members then it was certainly his duty, in the interest of the country and in good faith of his high position to his party and administration to apprise the President and the Cabinet ofr what he had heard as presiding officer of tlje Senate.” On the subject of reparations Sen ator Harrison said: “We are' told this administration deserves great credit for the part it has played in concluding the reparations Report. “I charge that the Republican Party has withheld from the Ameri can people and the world repara tions settlement for over three years.

He refused to I grant a temporary injunction to re strain election officials from placing her name on the ballot, which was requested by the plaintiff, Charles M. Dickson, of San Antonio.

Stephens, of Fort Worth, gave notice of an appeal to the court of civil appeals.
