Stand Is Set Forth
After TwO-HOur
Conference.
TERMS ANNOUNCED
TO SURRENDER LAND
Holds Indo.Chipo Does
Not Enter Question, as
AMMAN Owned 1t.

BY the Associated Press
The French attitude toward the far
eastern proposals of China was set
forth after a two-hour conference
between Premier BRAND and other
members of the delegation.
While the precise conclusions of the
French delegates have not been COM
municated, French policy, in a general
way, is understood to be framed by
these general considerations:
First. France desires earnestly to aid
China in realizing her aspirations, ter
ritorial, political and commercial.
Second. France would give up kou-
ang Tcheou, which she leased from
China in 1898. provided Great Britain
gave up Wei Hei Wei and Japan Shan
tung, leased by the Germans at the
Sula.
Holds ExtraterritOrial Rights.
Third. France would not be unwill-
ing to surrender her extraterritorial
privileges were other powers willing
to do the same. France gave up these
privileges in Japan in 1906, and WIS
in negotiation with Turkey to give
them up there in 1914, when the war
came. However, the French feel that
tanned until it is clear chat the
Chinese republic can give adequate
security and justice to foreigners.
Fourth. The French colony of Indo-
China did not belong to China but to
AMMAN. Consequently IndoChina.
the great French colony with 25,000,
900 inhabitants. does not come in the
question. according to the French
t; point of uSde,d SieW ,, If. hoy hoWeyer' some me
rectification Of the sOo-mile Chinese
frontier, the, French government
would be willing to discuss the
boundary
Sees Japan's Needs.
Fifth-France approaches the dis
cussions of far eastern questions in
sympathy with Japan's need for ex-
pansion and for raw material. The
French delegation desires, under all
circumstances, to take conciliatory
and pacific role.
Sixth-France is for open dealings
o. the powers with China and against
any secret negotiations.
The subject of spheres of. influence
beyond Indo-China does not seem to
be serious one. because the policy
of spheres of influence was replaced
more tnan ten years ago Dy the pOllcy
of the consortium of powers. Never
theless France, having due regard to
her private interests in Yunan and by
agreement with Great Britain and
Kounan Gs, made early in the first
decade of this century, would give up
this rather intangible privilege, pro-
vided Great Britain did the same.
Admiral Baron kato. on behalf of
the japanese delegation to the Wash
ington" conference, today asked and
received from the heads of the dele
cations of the nine participating pow
ers a delay of several days to allow
examinat tion of the far eastern pro-
posals submitted yesterday by China.

Information regarding the nature of
his trip, or his destination was refused

Reports were current that the dis

murder of Kennedy. Handling of pro
ceedings connected with the case here

ney, of Mrs. Obenchain, to obtain pos
session of a trunk ordered seized b.

tain possessions of the defendants
1t was admitted the prosecution
proposed to make its fight in the be-
lief that the trunk contains articles or
documents which may be used as evi
dence. Obenchain said he proposed
to seek an injunction to prevent the

that university professors be made

Mr.. Ringgold asserted, could discuss
before local units of the association
matters on food, technical or other
wise, which would be of benefit to
stewards.

Chicago hotel, addressing the conven-
ton, said that it will be some time

TOXIC. Aug. lit is my belief

He added: Il very much hope that
the powers assembled around the con-

The age of so-called diplomacy
and of political intrigue has passed
and the world is now entering on a
new era; an era of mutual co-opera-
tion among nations. Like many other
countries Japan has been unconscious
of the change in human relationships
and of the progress made in the di-
rection of international cooperation.

DAWSON, Y. T.. Aug. 17.-Sour-
doughs who headed the famous gold
rush to the Klondike in 90 gathered
here today from far and near to cele-
brate the Yukon's twenty-fifth birth
day.
A pioneers parade and a Sourdough
banquet were the big events on the
formal program arranged by the Yu-
kon order OF pioneers. But an even
bigger event for hundreds of the rug
ged old-timers was the renewal of old
acquaintances and the swapping of
thrilling yarns of the late nineties
when the gold fever gripped the land
and millionaires sprang up overnight.
1t was a, motley crowd. made up
partly of prosperous-looking men who
had struck it rich, and partly of griz-
zled, wistful-eyed old prospectors who
still follow the will O. the wisp of for
tune in other fields.
The guest of honor was George T.
Snow of Seattle, first secretary of
the pioneers when they were organ.
lied in the early days at Forty Mile
Post.
First Strike
1t was 25 years ago today that the
first rich strike of gravel was found
on Bonanza creek. News of the strike
spread like wildfire, and stampede
| to the then inaccessible region fol
| lowed. Miners and adventurers from
| all parts of the world hit the trail fol
the Yukon, and within three years the
| population of the district had riser
from virtually nothing to nearly fort,
/ thousand.
Strike followed strike until 1900
when the gold production reached it
highest point-about $4,000, 900.
Thereafter the strikes grew less FIRE
quent and many Of the prospectors de
: parted for Alaska and other newe
, fields. In 1906 the gold production ha
dropped to s5,60o,o00 and the populs
ton had been decreased by more tha
half.
