Prospects of n Temporary Agreement on

Prospects of n Temporary Agreement on
the Alaska boundary Question.
WASHINGTON. Sept. "a new and salts
factory turn has been given to the Alaska
boundary negotiations within the past few days.
and it is not unlikely that there will be develop
ments early next week that will Justify the an
nouncement that q temporary agreement Is In
sight. and perhaps that partial settlement
has been effected. There is reason to believe
that the Canadian authorities have shown a
disposition to abandon or modify some OF their
more cxtravaGant claims. 1t should be- borne
in mind. however, that whatever agreement
is reached will he merely temporary and can be
regarded only as an entering wedge to a per-
manent adjustment.
Tho United States Government has not
abandoned it's stand that the Indian village Of
Klukwan at the head OF stream leading to
the Lynn Canal. Is within American territory.
and will not do so. The British Canadians
have pndeavored to secure the consent Of the
United States to n proposition so to draw the
provisional boundary line that Klukwan will
be within British territory. One OF the propo-
sitions advanced In the negotiations was that
the United States lease TO Great Britain por-
ton OF the Lynn Canal. and it may be that this
concession has been granted by the United
States in return for withdrawal by Canada OF
some OF her eXtravagant claims.

The Central Porto Rican Relief Committee.
which was recently appointed by tho Secre-
tary OF War for the purpose Of cooperating in

lowing appeal to the people OF the United
States:
The greatest distress prevails In the island
OF Porto Rico. Tens OF thousands OF tho In
habtants are without home. food or clothing
Iheir one hope OF keeping of famine and
starvation lies in the patriotism, generosity
and broad charity OF the American people.
That the Porto Ricans have the stronges,
claims on us for aid In their awful nf1liction Ia
beyond questioning. They gave themselves
into our keeping: they came to us with words
and deeds OF loyalty. and with love for the
American flag and all II stands for.
Help has already been most generously ex-
tended to the sufferers. but 1t must be con-
tinued until new crops can be raised on the
lands devastated by the hurricane.
1t Is estimated by the Governor General OF
the island that 81 100000 will be required to
procure for the destitute the bare necessaries
OF life during the period OF prostration.
The committee feel confident that this ap-
peal will meet with prompt and adequate re-
spouse from the whole nation.
