Paris.-Oficial confirmation has
been obtained of the report that ne

France and Japan looking to an I'M
derstanding mutually guaranteeing the
political and commercial interests of
the two powers in the far east.
Harmonious conferences on the sub
ject have been going on at Toxic.
France has recognized that her pos
sessions in Indo-China and Siam, as
well as her commercial interests in
the far east, would be extremely vul-
nerable in the event of war; and
deemed 1T wise to make an arrange

guarantee French interests in return
for recognition of the Japanese
claims in Korea.

Partial Clearing up of Mystery That
Has Puzzled Whole Country.

Dover, Del.-The body of little Hor-
ace Marvin, who disappeared from the
farm of his father at Kittshammock,
near here, March 4, was found Satur-
day afternoon in a marsh in a state
of preservation.
DR.. Marvin, at the moment the body
was found, was not ready to say
whether the body was placed where
it was found or whether he believed
the child wandered into the marsh
and lost his life.
The marsh was frozen over the
day the boy disappeared. There is a

his body placed in the marsh, as the
long grass where the body was found
was burned and cleared four weeks
ago.

wheat, seeding has been delayed about
two weeks, but with a few days of

weeks of damage being wrought by
green bugs. These reports of damage
to the winter wheat have been great
