CHINA MAY INTERFERE.
4nOther Report of Insistence on
Rights IN NEGOTIATIONS.

Berlin July 3O.-The "Lokal Anzeiger'' prints
an interview with "a prominent Chinese diplO-
mat" evidently the Chinese Minister at Berlin,
who says that the Empress Dowager and the
Emperor have sent circular letter to all vice
roys and governors and TO Chinese Ministers
abroad asking them TO state fully their views
of the attitude which China should take in the
settlement Of the Manchurian question. The
diplomat further says that China. in fixing an
indemnity to be demanded from Russia, will in
clude not only the reduction in public revenues
during the war, but sufficient to cover
damages suffered through years of Illegal occu-
patton of that country. He assumes that Japan
will keep her word and hand over Manchuria
to China, but thinks it will be impossible for
China to install the cid form of government
there, since the improvements the Russians and
Japanese have introduced make a modern sys-
tenn Of administration necessary. The diplomat
adds:
China will no longer play the part of a mere
spectator. but Will assert its claims with energy
in the Portsmouth negotiations, and interesting
developments will certainly follow.

Russian Foreign Office Objects to
Dir. SGtO's Remark.

ST. Petersburg. July 29.-Mr. Sato's reference
TO the delay in the Chino-Japanese negotiations
because of faulty credentials was shown to the
Foreign Office to-day. 1t was reiterated that
there could be absolutely no doubt of the COM
pleteness and adequacy of the credentials of the
Russian plenipotentaries. one official said:
Mr.. Sato seems to forget that Russia is a civ
iliZed nation. that she has made treaties before
and that she does not omit SEALS
The tone OF the Russian press grows more
warlilxe the peace conference draws NIGH and
the government all sides is urged TO resist
humiliatng demands. even at the cost of con-
tinung the war Peace on the japanese terms
outlined by Mr.. Sato" says "the Russ" "ean
only be armistice." THE Russ which has
now the largest Liberal following. finds the Jap
anese demands far from moderate and sees little
chance Of the conference ending successfully. if
Mr. Sato has correctly stated the Japanese po-
stion. but it appears to believe that Baron Ko-
mura's spokesman is acting ION his re-
spOnsibility.' and sees a possible bluff TO pave
the way for the acceptance OF more moderate
terms.
The "Sviet' continues its fautfnding with
the "tactlessness' of the visit of Secretary Taft

The way the new papers are
springing up all over the state,
North Dakota is certainly going to
be we'll advertised. There are few
states in the union that are today
receiving the newspaper advertis-
ing that falls to this state. In
looking over the exchanges week
after week we find that they are
all loyalty supporting the localities
in which they are located and in
cidentally putting. in a good word
for the state as a whole. Nc Won
der, is it, that North Dakota is
rapidly forging to the fore as one
of the best and most prosperous in
the sisterhood of states? We be-
lieve, from the prosperous look of
our exchanges that they are re-
ceiving the hearty support of the
localities, and they should. With
out the press, the means of letting
the outside world know the true
conditions, North Dakota would
develop very slowly, indeed.

Iowa is one of the five states
that have more than 1000 news
papers, it's companions on this
honor roll being Ohio, Illinois,
Pennsylvania and New York. IL
linois has a newspaper for every
1928 of it's population, Ohio for
every 5000, New York for every
$500, and Pennsylvania for every
1861. Iowa's leadership of news
papers signifies something. 1t is
not without meaning that the
Philippines, with three times the
population of Iowa, have less than
a dozen newspapers. It is not
without meaning that Georgia,
Kentucky, North Carolina and
Louisiana together have but thir-
ty more newspapers than Iowa
alone, although their combined
population exceeds that of Iowa by
three times. The newspaper is
the outward index of civilization
It is an infallible test of the cul-

IS LAND OF PROMISE

On the train from Minneapolis
today everyone was going to North
Dakota. Now, why?
North Dakota is the land Of pro-
mise. It took the children Of Is
rael, under Moses, 40 years to
reach the promised land. It does
not take near SO long to reach
North Dakota-even coming thru
on the $780," Speaking Of the
$780," our train was off the track
today, running along I mentioned
the fact to the conductor. He said,
that don't make any difference,
the company own 60 feet on each
side" After wandering 40 years
in a circle even then Moses was not
permitted to enter the promised
land. Had he gone to North Da-
kota he would have acquired a
competency in a good deal less
time and avoided a whole lot OF
murmuring.
North Dakota is a land flowing
with milk and honey-except in
extreme cold weather. While the
people don't always attend church
twice on Sunday when a man
wants a bite to eat he gets it. No
old settler was ever known to re-
fuse to smile with those who smile.
The glad hand of welcome is ever
extended to the stranger.
I notice a whole lot of misguided
people are going over into the
Dominion of Canada. Some. peo-
pie have in all ages preferred dark
ness to light.
Scientific men claim the earth
is round; in looking out of the car
window today, 1 discovered that it
was level-nothing prettier this
side of Jordan than the level plains
of North Dakota in the spring
time.
They say 'hope springs eternal
in the human breast" 1t springs
with leaps and bounds. in the
North Dakotan breast-no crop
ever SO poor but next year will pay
up all. Men have been known to
hesitate about dying for fear they
would lose a round before quitting
time. They even go 80 far as to
say that some farmers in North
Dakota have more money than
other folks have hay. As this has
been an open winter, I know q few
myself included-that have more
hay.-Williston News.
