tween France and the United States, under the Monroe doctrine.
 This territory, lying south of French Guiana in the Brazilian State of Para. and containing 100000 square miles, was claimed by Brazil and France, and Switzerland was made arbitrator. Her decision was in favor of Brazil. It is now reported that some of the French financiers, anticiating that the decision would be favorable to France had already invested their capital in this terri tory. They are now trying to engineer a deal by which the French government will buy the island from Brazil.
 ''The State Department has absolutely no knowledge on the subject It's attention has, however, been called to the matter and the attempt of the French capitalists to secure government aid in getting their money back will be watched with interest There Is hardly any question, it is said at the State Department, that such action would be a violation of the Monroe doe trine and would call forth a protest from the United States.
 ''As long as the claim was in its orig inal form, France might have maintained that she was simply rectifying her boun- darles and that the United States could not object to that. Even in that case a rectif- cation of boundaries which involved an area of 100000 square miles would be closely scrutinized. France has, however, forfeited the right to make that claim by submitting the matter to arbitration by Switzerland and the granting of an adverse decision The territory has been officially decreed by the Swiss tribunal to be outside the boun- dalTies of French Guiana"

FRENCH GOVERNMENT
Will Embargo Chinese Loot on Arrival
 at MarsieIles.

Paris, December 17.-By order of the government a number of cases filled with Chinese loot, sent to President Loubet and others by General Fry, commander of the French marine force in China, will be em- barged at Marseilles when they are un- shipped.
 This action of the government of France is evidently an outcome of the protest of General Chaffee against footing, which called attention to the fact that military officers were despoiling China of works of art The government here has come to the conclusion that the articles in the case cannot be considered prizes of war, and that therefore they do not belong to the soldiers who seized them.

Caused at Akron by Failure of Natural
 Gas Supply.

al natural gas supply failed today and for a considerable time there was great sui fering. The day was the coldest of the winter Yesterday the supply failed and then came back suddenly with conse- quences which cafne near proving fatal in several cases. Miss Helen Storer and her maid were found unconscious by a physi- clan on the floor of their residence, the house being filled with gas. Dr. Hottenlin, who called at Herman Langers residence to pay a professional visit, found the en- tire family unconscious on the floor. They were resuscitated with difficulty. Many similar cases have been reported.
