Lay Claim to Islands.

London. July H.-At the annual meet ing of the British Northwest Borneo Company this afternoon the question of the recent occupation by the United States of the seven small islands off the coast of Borneo came up. The chairman, MT. Marten, M. F., said the islands of which Great Britain had been in posses sion for 25 years, were derelict and had not been referred to in any treaty with any power. Managing Director Cowie said it was not a question of aggression. It was simply misunderstanding and in the end the United States would, even when the matter was explained, waive it's claim to the islands.

 He was just as happy this morning when he returned with the license and asked Arthur Pitts who is chief clerk while MT. Chisholm is taking @ short rest to exchange the pair of licenses. D. B. had gone of with another man, Glenn said, but he had gotten another girl and he wanted Fannie Thomas's name sub- stituted for that of D. B. Smith.
