JAPAN THREATENS
CHINA With ARMS
Picking Powerless to Pre-
vent Enforcement s
Demands.

Pekinp, Feb military action to
enforce its demands upon China has
been threatened by the Japanese gov
eminent. according to cable message
from the Chinese Minister at Toxic.
II is believed in official circles here,
however, that the communication should
not be taken too seriously.
Both public men and newspapers are
urging President Yuan Sh-kai to let
Japan seize by force what she wishes.
as China would be unable 20 oppose
her, but refuse TO grant Illuminating
concessions. IL is reported that Presl-
dent Yuan Shi-kai intends 10 meet some
OF the demands. granting Japan such
concessions as would be given to any
other country, but stubbornly resisting
any transgression of China's sovereign
rights.
The government is observing Japan's
requirement that secrecy be main
tanned in conducting negotiations, as
il is desired TO give Japan every OPP
portunity OF moderating her demands
without losing prestige
Washington, Feb. 7.-Japan's require
ment that China keep secret the ne
gotiations between the two countries
now being carried Oh 20 determine the
relation Of these two countries TO each
other, following the capture OF Mao
Chau. prevents the United States gov
eminent for the present from knowing
lust what the demands and discussions
between Japan and China comprehend.
Practically no information has been
received from either Ambassadors
Guthrie, at Toxic, or Minister Reinsch'
at Peking, giving any definite idea as
10 what the demands OF japan INCLUDE.
Notwithstanding the fact that the ne
gotiations have been in progress for
some time.
The United States, in note to Japan
shortly after the latter issued her u'ti-
matum to Germany, placed itself on
record as expecting TO be consuitec

Wilson's Close Friend
Soon to Call on the
British Secretary.
WILL NOT MAKE
PEACE PROPOSALS
Mission Believed To Be to Learn
UnOfficially Attitude OF
Belligerents.
tBy Cable TO The Tribune ]

London, Feb. Tt is expected that
Edward Grey. On a former visit to
London, Colonel House, on account OF
his personal friendship with President
Wilson, was received by Sir Edward.
A repetition Of such visit is likely in
the near future, although, so far AS
can be learned, no date has been iiXed.
From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, Feb. THE visit Of
Colonel f. VI. House. one Of President
Wilson's closest friends, to London is
more or less Of mystery here, but the
general understanding is that the trip
does not differ from any of his previ-
Gus ones, in that it is partly for pleas
ure and partly to ascertain the gen
eral sentiment Of European countries
ovard the United States.
So far az any peace proposals are
concerned. or any efforts to sound the
Lelligerent nations as to the posi-
b;litv of peace, the belief IS that
President Wilson has no intention OF
offering his good Offices at this time
There is sort of unwritten agree
mcnt between The Netherlands and
this government by which they will act
Jointly in proposing good offices Tor
reace. should what both consider the
nroner time arise. Such a time. IT was
EXPLAINED to-day, would be when de-
cisive victory had been won. 1t is be
lieved here. officially, furthermore, that
the belliperents, in their present tenn
per. would receive such proposals with
resentment.
At the White House il was stated
to-day that Mr.. House was not au-
thorized to carry on any negotiations
for peace while in Europe, though the
President naturally expected 70 learn
much Of interest about the diplomatic
situation when the colonel returned IN
the spring. It was also said that the
President had asked Colonel House. to
do what he could toward co-ordinatlng
the various measures of relief under
taken by Americans abroad.
MANY diplomats were inclined to be-
lieve that the trip of Colonel house
might be instrumental eventually IN
developing unoficially an understand
ing of the conditions under which the
belligerents would make peace. he Is
on intimate terms with some OF the
principal foreign secretaries or Eu-
rome. and most of the American Am
bassadors in Europe were his close as
sociates before their appointments to
foreign posts. He bears letter say
ing he is the personal and unofficial
representative Of President Wilson, so
that Americans in charge of various
branches of relief work will not hest
tate to discuss their plans and cooper
ate with him freely.

SCHOOL FARMS INTRODUCE PURE
BRED LIVE STOCK INTO
COMMUNITIES.

A rapidly growing interest in better
farming methods and in the growing of
better live stock in the communities
surrounding the agricultural schools is
very evident, according to members Of
the extension division of L. S. U. who
visit these schools.
The best known farming methods
are practiced on the school farms, and
many of them have pure-bred live stock.
In many cases these animals are loan
ed or sold in the community, for breed
ing purposes. The Cataro, St. Landry
parish, Agricultural School, has been
particularly active in introducing pure
bred live stock into the school CON-
munity as is evidenced by the follow
ing report from the teacher in charge:
During the past eighteen months
we have sold from the school farm one
hundred and thirty-eight dollars worth
of registered pigs for breeding purposes
and have litter of seven pigs on hand
for sale. During the same period Of
time we have introduced into this CON-
munity, or caused to be introduced.
seven hundred or eight hundred Duroc-
Jersey pigs and a number of graded
Shorthorn calves"

PRESIDENT BOYD AT WASHING
TON, D. c.

President Thos D. Boyd, of the Lou
isiana State University, attended the
joint meeting of the executive COM
mittees of the National Association Of
State Universities and the Association
of Agricultural Colleges and Expert
ment Stations which was held recently
In Washington, D. C.
The committees met and conferred
with the Commissioner of Education
and the Secretary of War, and with
officers Of the War College, with regard
to the preparation of a Congressional
bill to provide for such instruction at
military colleges as would enable the
colleges to train officers for the pro-
posed military reserve force. A tenta-
tive bill was drawn, the details of which
are to be worked out later
The Louisiana State University, with
over three hundred students in the
military department, is, of course, very
much interested in any legislation that
would affect that organization.

A SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL
SEASON.

The football season at L. s. U. was
brought to a close with the annual
Thanksgiving Day game with Tulane
University in which the Tigers were
victorious by score of II to 0. The
game was played in Baton Rouge and
was closely contested, as is charac-
teristic of games between these two
ancient rivals.
The football schedule for this year
was particularly we'll arranged, in that
lit provided games in each section of
the state and in its three largest cities.
The games with Georgia Tech in New
Orleans; with Arkansas in Shreveport,
at the Louisiana State Fair; and with
Tulane at Baton Rouge, each drew
large crowds, and it is probable that a
much larger number of alumni and
other friends of the University wit.
messed the team in action this year
than in any previous year.

that prior to the outbreak of yellow

found dead or dying in the neighboring

to the above theory, which is supported
