MINISTER
 VISITS FRANCE

Paris, December S-The Paris Temps today prints an interview with the Rus sian foreign minister, M. Sazonoff, whose visit here is regarded by the French press as a kindly reaffirmation of the Russo French entent.
 After saying that the European sit uation. in his opinion, was not serious M Sazonoff declared that Russias dem7 onstration of good will towards Persia had not been reciprocated and that. Russia had been obliged to ask for complete sat isfaction. It was the intention of the Rus sian government to permit the national dignity of the commercial interests of the country to be compromised Russia, Great Britain and France, the foreign minister says, were unanimous in their decision not to take any imprudent initiative relative to the situation in China. This also was the attitude of Japan, with whom Rus sia's relations regarding China were IF accord.
 M. Sazonoff denied that Russia had yet officially proposed the question of opening the Dardanelles to Russian war ships. In conclusion he referred to the unity and soldity of the triple intent, declaring that his countrys alliance with France continues to be the basis of Rus sia's foreign policy.

PURE FOOD BOARD
 MAILS, DECISIONS

Washington, December S-Tentative de- cisions of the pure food board affecting both the importation and handling in this country of cocaine and absinthe and the handling of opium, were sent today from the office of the Secretary of Agri- culture to importers and drug manufac- turers throughout the United States. The decisions have been sent in confidence, with request that suggestions should be offered as to possible changes before they are made final.
 The official refused to make public the substances of the rulings, holding that such action would raise objections from those affected.
 pr. Wiley, head of the pure food board, said he was of the opinion that it would be very seldom that any radical change would be made from the tentative deci- SionS.
