TO REDUCE CHINA CLAIMS
United States Proposes to Powers to
Consent to Pro Rata Reduction
of Indemnity.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The United
States government has proposed to the
powers concerned in the Chinese treaty
that they consent to a pro-rata reduction
Of claims so as to maintain the fetal within
the sum OF 45o.oOo,oOO taels. which the pow
ers agreed to accept from China as full in
demnity for the Boxer outrages. Germany
has discovered that it placed its claim too
low and has demanded an increase in allow
ance Of 100000 taels. and II this is to be
met the other signatory powers must agree
to submit to the pro rata deduction Of that
sum from their own original allotments
The United States is firmly opposed to any
attempt to extort from China any more
than the 46O,oOO.OOO taels and It will at
tempt To avoid the creation Of a precedent
to be followed by the other powers in the
allowance Of this German claim.

sions here today. A large number OF the

\ In her annual address Mrs. Birney said

Mrs. Bib 'vised those present to be

The first business OF the congress was the
adoption Of resolution by Mrs. Hardings
Of Now York extending congratulations to
President and Mrs. Roosevelt over the re-
covery Of their son from his recent illness
and expressing appreciation of the compli-
ment to the womanhood of America in the
selection Of Miss Alice Roosevelt to christen
Emperor Williams yacht Meteor.
Miss Harriet A. Marsh of Detroit, Mich,
said she enjoyed the unenviable position of
being the only Miss" belonging to the or
ganization. The subject Of the most prac-
tical work she recommended the establish
ment in the state of bureau for the distri-
button of lesson papers and other litera-
ture on the relative value OF foods and their
preparation for children; the general care
Of children; the Importance to them OF
cleanliness, fresh air and pure water. This
information, she urged, could be dissent
mated through the medium Of the public
school. In fact she said these subjects
could be taught in high schools and COL
leges and communicable disease might be
treated in the same way
Mrs Herman H. Birney of Philadelphia
urged the establishment Of libraries OF
children's books.
An interesting paper was read by Miss
Mary d. Runyon of Columbia university or
"Chlldren's Literature" She maintained
that our attitude toward the literature oi
children depended very much on, the mean
ing attached to literature as a whole. One
Of the strongest needs of children which
literature must meet, she said, is the fur
nishing of food for the imagination, which
serves a very legitimate purpose as pure
recreation. That literature is bad for chill
dren, said Miss Runyon, which portrayl
motives beyond their Imagination. At the
conclusion OF her remarks the delegate,
piled her with questions regarding the ef.
feet on children Of illustrated newspaper,
and certain books, which brought on con.
siderable discussion. The consensus o.
opinion was that funny pictures which ap
pear from time to time in the newspaper
are hurtful"
