UNITED STATES ANNOUNCES
ITS CHINESE-JAPANESE POLICY

4
Washington, May 6.-The silence
consistently maintained by the United
States with reference to the Japanese
Chinese negotiations since they began
nearly four months ago was broken
| tonight by the Issuance of a state
meRt by Secretary Bryan explaining
the American governments position.
The statement was prepared ear
ller in the afternoon after consulta-
ton with President Wilson. While
press reports had told of Japan's de-
cision to send an ultimatum to China,
no official information had been re-
ceived to confirm this tonight
"Open Door" Policy.
The American government in It's
pronouncement in effect, reiterates
it's adherence to the open door plo1cv
and the maintenance Of the territorial
integrity of China, and points out
that there has been "no abatement Of
its interest in the welfare and pro-
gress of China" The sole interest"
| OF the United States is declared to DO
| that the negotiations between Japan
and China, may be concluded in a
manner satisfactory to both nations"
and thus contribute to "the peace Of
the world"
The statement was interpreted in
some quarters as meaning that while
NO tender of good offices would be
made by the Washington government.
the services of the United States were
at the disposal of both countries
should they desire the assistance Of
any third power to bring about di-
plomatic settlement of the questions
at issue.
Viscount Chinda, the Japanese an
bassador, and Kai Flu Shah, the Chi
nese minister, sought separate inter-
views with Mr.. Bryan late today but
declined to discuss the object of their
visits. 1t is believed they were shown
copies of the statement of the Ameri-
can position.
The Statement.
The text of the statement follows:
"In order that there may be no mis-
understanding of the position of the
United States in reference to the me-
gotiations pending between Japan and
China the following announcement is
made:
| cat the beginning of negotiations
the Japanese government confidential
| ly informed this government of the
matters which were under discussion
and accompanied the information by
the assurance that Japan had no in
tentions of interfering with either the
political independence or territorial
| Integrity of China and that nothing
she proposed would discriminate
against other powers having treaties
with China, or interfere with the
open door policy to which all the
leading nations are committed.
%This government not only has nc
thought of surrendering any of its
treaty rights with China, but it mas
/ never been asked by either Japan or
| China to make any surrender Of these
rights. There is no abatement OF It's
interest in the welfare and progress
of China and it's sole interest in the
present negotiations is that they may
be concluded in a manner satisfactory
to both nations, and that the terms OF
the agreement will not ony contribute
to the prosperity of both OF these
great Oriental empires, but maintain
that cordial relationship SO essential
to the future of both and to the peace
of the world

OF lack of satisfactory means of con.
Veyance and, most important of aIl.of
general and lamentabIe lack of salts
flying social intercourse.
Of course, with the present state of
society, all farmers cannot have these
tnlngs no more than can all city people
nave them, but it is a fact that there
is IN the country a general and la
mentable, neglect of such conyen-
fences even among well-to-do farm
ers who are amply able to afford them.
This condition does not exist in the
city among those who are able to af-
ford them, and it is perhaps for this
very reason that so many young peo-
pie, who possess the very qualities that
are so much needed in the making of
our country life. have gone to the city
and towns where these things are to
be found.
We do not as a general proposition
advocate going into debt for luxuries
and we should be cautious about going
IN debt even for necessities, but the
things mentioned above should no
longer be considered luxuries even on
the farm. They are now actual neces-
sites of farm life and of good health.
likewise contributing to that degree
of pleasure which every one is en-
titled to enjoy along with the neces-
sary labor and drudgery that goes
with the making of a living and the
rearing of family.
And the sooner we farmers wake up
to the fact that it is only by providing
these things that we can keep our
young people with us on the farm the
better it viii be for us and for our
rural civilization. The sooner then
will our rural problems begin to find
a solution, because we will then have
our young people to help in the solu-
ton. We must keep our young people
on the farm and we can only do so by
making a farm life so attractive TO
them that they will mot want to go
elsewhere.

FARM LIFE CoNvENIENCEs.

Farmers Should Adopt More of Ordi-
nary Conveniences for Their Comfort.
(Southern Farm JournaI.)
One of the most pitiable and dis
tressing features of farm life in the
average farm home is the lack of the
little ordinary conveniences about the
farm and the home whose possession
would go so far toward making life
on the farm pleasant and endurable,
especially for the young people.
Among these things may be men
toned the lack of proper water sup
ply in the home, of lack of proper
bathing facilities, of lack of good

Impromptu Solo.

Pierre Carat, the singer and exquis.
te of Napoleonic France, was not
merely a glass of fashion and won
lerful, self-instructed singer. but an
trtist devoted to his art. But is the
ollowing, asks Mr.. Bernard Mall In
his biography, an example Of sincerity
In art, or of love Of attracting atten-
ton?
Coupigny had supplied him with a
romance" to be set to music. When
ever the two met, Carat replied, Il
have not hit upon an idea as yet"
One day Coupigny was walking down
the Rue Neuve-des-PetitsC Champs.
Hearing a sound of some one running
behind him, he turned; 1t was Carat,
who seized him by the arm. dragged
him up the stairs Of a neighboring
house, and, halting on the first landing,
exclaimed, I've got it," At once he
began to sing the romance through at
the top Of his voice. The inhabitants
of the house began to open their doors;
heads were projected over the ban
listers; finally they began to approach;
but Carat, having finished. tore down
the stairs like monkey, dragging the
bewildered poet with him.-Youth's
