The House today sent the conference report on the Mississippi River flood control bill back to the conferees for revision along lines agreed upon today at the White House. The decision to recommit it to the conferees was reached without discussion and came after a meeting this morning of President Coolidge and members of the Senate and House conference committees, at which objections of the President to the measure as it passed Congress were discussed. Senate and House managers planned to meet later in the day to revamp the measure. At the same time Chairman Reid of the flood-control committee obtained approval of a resolution to give the conference committee authority to revise the measure to provide that the Mississippi River Commission, instead of the proposed supervising board, be authorized to receive the report regarding the survey of tributaries authorized under the bill. This resolution, which still must be approved by the Senate likewise, was acted upon without discussion. While Reid would not reveal what took place at the White House, he indicated that he felt the changes agreed upon would alleviate Mr. Coolidge's opposition and enable him to sign the measure when it is forwarded to him by Congress, probably in the next day or so. To Protect government. It is understood that the conferees agreed to revise the bill to absolve the Federal Government from any obligation regarding the acquisition of flowage rights or easements over natural floodways, and also to provide that the proposed report on the survey of the Mississippi River Commission was numerous tributaries filed directly with the Mississippi River Commission. Immediately after the House convened, Reid, Representative Tilson of Connecticut, the Republican leader, and Speaker Longworth inferred that the differences which had developed between Congress and the President over the bill had been adjusted satisfactorily. The House, by referring the conference report back to the conference committee, has cut the bill in the same legislative status that it had a week ago when the two houses voted the committee to iron out difficulties.

OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS OF PAST WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD By the Associated Press The clash of the Japanese and Chinese Nationalists at Tsinan, capital of Shantung Province, has overshadowed the internecine warfare between the North and the South. For the moment, the Nationalist push toward the Northern capital, Peking, has been forgotten in the more serious consequences entailed in Japan’s intervention to protect her own and other foreign nations in China. On the occupation of Tsinan by Chinese troops under command of Gen. Chiag Kai-Shek, the Japanese took measures to save the foreign settlement from the ravages of war. Each side blames the other for the fighting which ensued. Nationalist officials are reported to have been deliberately slain, while many of the Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded, and there were reports also of the death of numerous Japanese civilians. (Many Powers Involved.) With so many powers involved in the war by treaty rights, and with the Japanese government obligated to take some action against the Chinese authorities, the situation immediately became a dangerous one. Japanese reinforcements are already being hurried to the scene of the conflict and to various strategic points, while American and British warships are known to be stationed at ports in Chinese waters where their services may be available. Chang Tao-Lin, the Northern dictator at Peking, offered support to the Japanese in the way of arms and munitions, to aid them in holding back the Huns, but the Japanese are said to have replied that they could handle this affair themselves. At Tokyo, the government is beset by the opposition parties, and last week a vote of non-confidence in Premier Tannak was threatened. The political situation at Tokyo makes the affair more difficult to handle and reports from the Japanese capital indicated that the people there were not conversant with all the facts. The Diet, however, even in the disturbed atmosphere, adopted the Japanese policy and, providing for a large amount to cover the expeditions in Shantung. Gen Umberto Nobile's Arctic expedition is well under way. His great dirigible Italia landed at Kings Huy, Spitsbergen, at which place he will prepare for scientific researches in the frozen North. Rumanian peasants under the leadership of Juitu Maniu, who has been a thorn in the flesh of Premier Bratlanu, thousands of them gathered at Alba, Jalu, where the late King Ferdinand and Queen Marie were crowned, Other thousands assembled at various other cities to enter a combined protest against what Manu describes as “an illegal, tyrannical, incompetent government." Germany Favors Kellogg Proposal. Secretary Kellogg's anti-war proposal brought a prompt response from Germany, which favors such an agreement, Egypt has been brought to terms by Great Britain on its proposed legislative measure for public assemblies. The British government would have none of this, and compelled the Egyptian premier to lay it aside at least temporarily. Great Britain is of the belief that the subject will not be revived. The celebration of May day throughout the world was mild, compared with previous years. Russia, which submitted a proposal to the League of Nations for total disarmament, gave a great military display of all arms of the service, without, however, disorder, while in Warsaw Poland, eight persons lost their lives in other cities. celebrations were confined largely to harmless processions and speeches. Admiral Die, a farm hand, Admiral Makovsky, who was in command of the Russian fleet at the beginning of the World War, and who distinguished himself in the defense of the Gulf of Riga, was only a farm hand at the time of his death recently near Antwerp, France. Since his escape from Russia, he had earned his living on the Riviera Fields as a farm laborer. CIVIC BODY LAUNCHES MONTGOMERY SURVEY Exhaustive Study of County Government to Be Made by Federation Committee. An intensive survey and study of the government of Montgomery County was inaugurated at a dinner at the University Club by a committee of the Montgomery County Civic Federation, headed by George H. Lamar. The object of this study is in part to better familiarize the membership of the federation with the present form of county government and in part to ascertain what improvements, if any, may be developed. Many special governmental problems arise because of the unusual relationship between suburban sections of Montgomery County and the adjacent Federal district, on the one side, and the rural districts on the other side of this suburban area. In addition to outlining the plan of study at this first meeting, Maj. K. Brooke Lee discussed in detail the methods of raising and disbursing funds for county road building.
