A CONTROVERSY AT AN END
The Chinese Concessions SETTLES

Washington. December 9l.-The an
nounosment that the extension OF the for

been finally approved. brings TO close .
diplomatic controversy, between 0rcat
Britain, the Unissd Estates and France,
which has ct times become rather aeuts,
France taking the position 81 one stage
Of the negotiations that the American CO.
operation with the British In opposing
the French plans Of extension WAS an un-
friendly act toward France. This. and
the other differences, have BEEN happily
adjusted, according TO announcements
from China which are borne out by the
Information Of officials here.
The controversy assumed an intsrna-
tiosal scope when the three colonies AZ
Shanghai-Brltish, French and American
sought 10 extsnd their limits. The
CONCESSIONS are just outside Of the old ma

France In turn protested against this on

Tho United States approved the plan Of
an international settlement 40 the Amer

those Of the British but the American at

all the contentious made By the British.
II was to this sourosiof the American gov
eminent that France took exceptions on
the ground that IL was an unfrisndly act
