Allies If Boxer Indemnity
Is Remitted in Full.
NEGOTIATIONS ARE NOW ON
Entente, Seeing Nation as Res
ervoir of Men, Anxious for
Her Entrance.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Ncgotla-
tions looking to China's entrance into
the war against the central powers
now are in progress at Picking. and in
all the entente capitals IL was learned
here today. and their success depends
only upon the harmonizing of the re-
wards with the amount of co-opera-
tion demanded. 1t is regarded as
practically certain that China will
sever relations with Germany and a
low if the entente will guarantee suf-
ficient relaxation of the restrictions
imposed after the Boxer troubles.
Facts learned today from official
and diplomatic circles serve to clear
up the ohscurity which has overhung
recent vague dispatches from China
and references in the reichstag to

China also desires consent to in

existing treaty limits to per cent ad

states has long urged this on the other
sixteen signatory powers. but SO far
only Japan and Great Britain have
given full consent.
Entente Wants China.
The entente powers on their part
are anxious to have China in the
war. not only as a reservoir OF men,
but as the biggest open trade market
after the war. Already more than
100, 00O Chinese laborers and agricuI-
turists have gone to increase the en-

NEW IMPETUS TO PATRIOTISM
Flags on Every Hand and National
Airs Warmly AppIaudcd.

Recent developments in the situa-
ton with Germany has caused new
wave of patriotism in Tulsa. Flags
are in evidence in the homes, stores
and public buildings. The Chamber
of Commerce is loathe to take down
the national colors with which the
downtown streets were decorated for
Washingtons birthday and they may
be left up indefinitely.
In the cafes having orchestras, the
national airs form a part OF the mu-
sical program every night. They are
always applauded vigorously and the
diners are quick to rise as soon as
the musicians begin THE star

a Huge Success.

Altho the weather was not what the

prayed for had he known what was
in store for the people OF Tulsa yes
terday in the reception of the thou

came to attend the states most i'm
portant ceremonial, the haze of rain
and chilly winds were unable to
dampen or disturb the spirits of the
wearers of the fez and the gala af-
fair was as successful as if the sun
had done its best to dry the sands
beneath the feet of the weary mobiles
and novices.
The ceremonial was participated in
by members of the temples of Tulsa,
Muskogee, oklahoma City and others,
and was the largest, in matter of at
tendance and importance that the
state has ever witnessed.

Late trains and weather conditions
made it necessary to deviate slightly
from the announced program, but the
reception of the imperial party,
headed by Imperial Potentate Harry
+, Neidrnghaus, jr., of St Louis. was
enacted as scheduled in advance.
The headquarters for the mobiles
and novices opened at o'clock yes

and during the day more than two
thousand names Were written on the
register.
The parade. which was to have
passed thru the principal streets. was
not held in fun. and the bands from
the three temples only paraded the
streets with the patrols and company

A short business session OF the
three temples was held at 1 o'clock
after which all organizations ad-
journed to Convention hall, where the
ceremonial was held and where scores
of novices were sent across the burn
ing sends.
The streets during the day were
lined with wearers of the red feZ, and
touch of native Arabian color was
given the crowd by the presence Of
