Trotzky Insists on Terms Which Make Conference

LONDON, July 2S. - Success or failure of the proposal to hold a con- ference here between the entente, Soviet Russia and Russian border states representatives depends al- most wholly on the armistice terms Russia will. lay down to the Poles. probably Saturday. in the opinion of officials
 Limitations have reached official quarters that the Russians are not finding it easy to decide on terms One faction led by Lenine, is repre- scented to be in favor of terms that it would be reasonable to suppose the Poles would accept, while Trotzky and some of his officials are repre- scented as insisting on terms so hu- initiating that the Poles would be forced to continue fighting, or over throw their government if the terms were accepted. Should the latter contingency arise it would be useless to attempt a conference. Simulta- neously with the dispatch of the note to the Bolsheviki suggesting the con- ference, Great Britain invited Letvia, Lithuania, Finland and Esthonia to participate.
 The first three accepted whole, heartedly; Esthonia sent word it was willing to participate but did not ex- press warm approval

JAPANESE ROUSE WASH|NGTONb BY ACTIVITIES

Seizure of Territory and Railroad Policy Lead to
 Conference

American government is closely watching Japanese relation and Jap ans general policy in the Far East, because of the effect of the questions involved in the recent withdrawal of American troops from Siberia, the signing of the consortium relative to Chinese financial aid, the assumption of control of the Chinese eastern rail- road by the Japanese and the Japan csc eastern railroad has been closely and much of the maratime province of Siberia.
 Secretary Colby has conferred with Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambas- sadOr, who brought into the confer ence Sir Beiley Aston, British am bassador to Japan, who is returning to London on leave. Sir Beilby gave MT. Colby latest information from Tokio, supplementing the views of Roland Morris, American ambassador to Tokio, who is home on leave.
 Treaty Stumbling Block
 British interests in China and Jap an are regarded as parallelling to some extent those of America, be- cause of the large business transac- tions between those countries and Canada and Australia as we'll as the desire of the colonial governments and California and other Pacific coast states to solve the problem of Oriental labor. Solution of this prob lem by the British government, in the opinion here, is made more complex by the Anglo-Japanese treaty, recent ly renewed for one year.
 Changes in the status of the Chin csc eastern railroad hae been closely watched, since this line forms the most valuable stretch of Siberian rail- road and affords the only practical communication between the interior of Siberia and Vladivostok. and both the United Stares and England are understood to desire it's lDte:n,' :CT al character be preserved ;o icsurc the maintainance of the open door.
 As to the Japanese occulat. = of Saghalien, the United States is known to be reluctant to concur. A dispatch from Tokio today said that the Nichi Nichi had published a statement that Japan had received an inquiry par taking of the nature of protest from "a certain country" in connection with her intention to occupy this ter ritory.
 State department officials would neither affirm nor deny that the country referred to was the United States but the general understanding of those in close touch with the sit uation was that it was the United States.

Associated Press Leosrd W;rrJ

BOSTON, July 2S. - Details of the method whereby members of the pro posed world court of justice will be selected, based on private advices from The Hague, were made public by the World Peace Foundation to- night. This method was decided on by the commission of jurists, of which Elihu Root was member. which met recently at The Hague under appoint ment by the council of the League of Nations.
 The court is to consist at the out set of II judges and four alternate judges, serving for nine years. It will sit permanently at The Hague to decide all cases of a purely legal nature arising between nations and will form a complement to the exist ing Hague court, which will retain its competence to deal with all cases of arbitration.
 Under the plan, as outlined in the advices. the four jurists ef each na- tion represented on the permanent Hague court will be asked to form a national group to select not more than six candidates for the new court of whom not more than two may be their own nationals. These groups will be asked to make their selections in consultation with the highest jul dicial authorities in their countries. The list thus obtained will be sub mitted to the council and the asser-- bly, of the League of Nations. Each body, by majority vote, will choose the necessary number of judges.
