JAPAN AND CHINA AT DaGSER:S
POINT OVER QUESTION OF
TREATY RIGHTS.
Japan Intends Making the First Nov,
Toward Reconstructing the Antunu-
Mukden Railroad Today-Aundreds
of Chinese Soldiers Are Stationed
Along the Lire.

T"kio, Aug. lin a communication
issued today Japan officially notified
the powers of her intention 10 proceel
Immediately with the reconstruction
and Improvement of thu Antung- Muk-
den railroad without the consent nf
China. diplomatic negotiations having
failed to overcome the opposition 1f
that cuntry tn the commencement u.
work which Japan believes to be with
ia her rights under the treaty of 1905.
The note outlines the entire course
of negotiations relative to the inn
provcment of the railroad up to the
present time. 1t declares that through
out the discussions China has had
recourse Ito her wcll-known policy of
obstruction and procrastination. has
evaded the just and reasonable de-
mands of Japan and raised collateral
questions regarding police authority
and other Matters thus delaying
settlement.
Chiua's reply of June ~ IL mentioned
and the note declares that Japan's
rights under the treaty of 1906 were
disregarded and the provisions of tha
treaty wholly nuliified thereby. 1t il
issues in her reply that the work of
Improvement on the undergraduates
railroad must ho confined to the ex-
listing track and that the broadening
of the guage cannot be permitted"
The communication concludes with
the statement that since June II, when
the reply was received, Japan has en-
dea~ored Ia induce China 10 recon
slider her decision and recede from
here untcnable position: but that the
Chinese government has maintained
an unyieding and uncomnromising
attitude.
The final paragraph TO the note
contains Japan's ultimatum which l.
expressed as follows:
I'm this situation tho imperial gov
ernment is compelled to take indepen-
dent action and proceed to carry out
the necessary work nf reconstruction
and improvement according to treaty
rights"
1t is stated in authoritative circles
that Japan intends 10 make the first
move toward reconstruction OF the line
on Saturday August !,
Several hundred Chinese soldiers
are said Ia have been stationed along
the route but Japan does not antici-
pate any physical opposition after the
work Is commenced although further
complications are regarded as quite
Possible.
1t is stated that the war depart
ment OF Japan has prepared for every
csentaality and is determined To
build the road regardless of opposl-
ton.

FUNDS ARE SUFFl-
GENT TO CONTINUE ON ALL
MONTANA PROJECTS.
Supervising Engineer Has Just Re-
turned From Portland, Where He At
Offieials-Secretary Ballinser Is an
Enthusiastic Believer in the Service.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Helena. Aug. 6.-H. n. Savage. su-
pervising engineer of the reclamation
service. returned today from the con-
ference of reclamation officials. which
was attended by Secretary NJ the In
terror Bdliingcr and others. and he
says that as IL result of that confer
ence Ii was determined no new projects
would be started until those now under
way are completed. The secretary is
one of the most enthusiastic supporters
and believers in the reclamation serv-
ice said Mr.. Savage. but he feels
that 1t is more expedient to confine
activities to IA smaller scope and OBJ
tain quick results, rather than to cover
Il broader scope and secure slower re-
suits. At the conference and in his
public address ut Portland he ex-
pressed himself very strongly in favor
of the reclamation of the arid lands.
The allotment of funds for projects
in this state has been made and work
Is to be pushed on the Milk river prof.
ect: construction is to be continued
on the ST. Mary's canal and the st.
Mary's lake project toward the Milk
river country. The Huntley allotment
Is sufficient TO make all bctterments
and minor extension for that project.
The canals and bitches of the lower
Yellowstone win be completed, as wcll
as the lower Yellowstone dam, on
which work Is being pushed. A suffi-
cient allotment has been made on the
Sun river project for the completion
of the lateral. canals and the distrb-
uting system for tho first unit, as well
as to carry the Willow creek dam up
to sufficient height to provide ample
storage for all lands open to entry"

Two things entitle Principal ReitZ
of the Garden City Commercial col
lege to consideration in the booster
class-two things, if not more. The
first--not in Importance but in chro-
biological order-is the handsome home
that he has built for his school. On
the south side of the river the fine
building is one of the first things to
catch the eye of the visitor as he
crosses the river. The building itself
is imposing and commands attention,
but its appearance is made the more
effective by the elaborate and artistic
landscape gardening that has been
done on the grounds. Handsome grass
plots are broken by ornamental flower
beds and shrubbery. the whole ar
ranged with artistic skin, and the gen.
eral effect makes the grounds as pleas
ing to look at as any in the city.
