WASHINGTON. Nov. l9.-The Unit
ed States has not been informed of
Japan 5 reported intention of turning
over to Great Britain until the end of
the war the islands in the Pacific ocean
taken from Germany. This caused no
surprise here, and high authority said
last night that it was in line with what
the Japanese government had led the
United States government to expect.
Almost Immediately after Japan en-
tered the war and Indicated it's purpose
Of attacking Kiao-chau the japanese
government informed the United States
of it's ultimate intention to restore
Kiao-chau to China and to hold certain
islands only so long as they were OF
military or naval Importance. It is
suggested that If Japan should turn
the islands over to an Australian force
| this would be construed rs /, sign OF
Japan s previous good faith, and that
whilcs tile islands might not be return
cd to Germany at the end OF the war
| they would at least be thrown INTO the
ipot along with everything cisc to b,
Iscttled at the table around which tn,
lpeaccmakers would sit when the war il
over.

trunk. Years after this tree had
fallen, there sprang up in the sun
ken kettle, "a lyn sapling, which,
at the time OF this discovery had
attained q diameter offour inches.
The roots had filed the vessel to
it's full capacity, while some had
overgrown the top, thusdrawing |
nourishment from the outside |
soil. p, /
This discovery was made about !
two decades ago, yet it was at a
later date that the Importance Of
the relic was realized. Owing to
their limited knowledge ofpioneer
history it had never occurred to
these men that Boone, or any OF
the other famous frontiersmen
had visited this locality. 4twas
their belief that the kettle had
been hidden there by Indians who
had stolen it from some early SET
tier. Not being an antiquarian
Mr.. Webb concluded to use this
for some purpose. Its capacity
being about six gallone, rendered
it a very suitable vessel for a
swill pail. 1t served in hiscapa-
city for some time. At length it
was decided to use 1t for other
purposes, which necessitated the
removal of the sedimentfrom the
outer surface. 1t was while re-:
moving this sediment that his
daughter discovered the rude, yet
plainly carved inscription; I'D
Boone 1760."
After the announcement ofthis
discovery of the inscription there
was considerable local interest
manifested, and somebody pur-
suaded the owner to take this his
toric relic to Bristol, Tennessee
and offer it for sale, A feeble
attempt was made to sell it tc
disinterested parties and failure
was the result, Whereupon the
owner returned home and relegat
ed this relic to the garret. 1t wat
afterwards made to serve a mum
ber OF purposes; and in the ecourst
of time has been considerably
damaged. 1t is mo longer usee
