PLAN
BASIS FOR
+ DECISIONS
Chinese Delegates, Disappointed
At Compromise, Prepare to
Make Hard Fight.
By GEORGE r. HOLMES.
international News Service.


The United States has assumed
the role of umpire in the sharp
conflict Of opinion between Japan
and China as to the general prin-
ciples which are to govern the dis
cussion of China's case at the
Washington conference.
This was learned authoritstively
today when the delegates Of the
nine powers again assmbled behind
closed doors TO take up the Chinese
question. The committee met at IL
q. m. in the Pan-American Union
building.
Root Plan q Compromise.
1t developed today that the -four
principals" brought out by Elibu
Root and agreed to last night by the
powers represented virtual com
promise between the far-reaching
prinnipals" proposed by China and
tne ultra-conservative principals"
favored by Japan.
IT was learned there was consid-
cradle acrimonious talk in the closed
session beofre the Root principles were
accepted. China insisted strongly
that her own program of ten prin-
ciples be accepted as a basis for
any action which the conference
may take.
Japanese objection to them is un-
derstood to have been based on the
fear that the Chinese proposals were
too susceptible TO bringing up old
affairs. such as Manchuria and Mon
golia. Baron Kato is understood To
nave voiced the opinion that the
conference should confine itself to
present and future issues and pres
ent and future conditions, leaving
the dead past to bury its dead"
Plan General In Nature.
In the end, 1t was agreed to &C
cept the four principles" drawn up
by Mr.. Root as a foundation upon
which future discussions of the
Chinese questions will rest. The
ture. and the opinion was expressed
by a diplomat today that "a horse
and wagon could be driven through
any Of them
The net result has been to avert
temporarily an open conflict be-
tween Japan and China at the out
set and to leave to the future to
determine just what can properly he
brought up under the compromise
principles. Inc most important
thing, American officials said, was
that the whole conference is now
on record as having agreed to some.
thing which can be used as a start
ing line for the real work
As to what properly can be brought
up under the Root compromise. II
was officially stated by a spokesman
for the British delegation. that ANY.
thing can be brought up" The Jap
aness viewpoint is known to be diff
ferent.
China's delegates were obviously
disappointed, because they had hoped
for something more specific in the
way Of redressing past wrongs. The
Chinese entered the meeting pre-
pared to discuss the concrete appli-
cation of some OF her own demands.
chiefly that which would make China
party to any treaties which have
been concluded between other powers.
Upon this point, the Chinese are
strongly insistent.

 Profit by the experience of the state Of Arizona. which is in receipt Of a bill of s25o for the feed and care of an elk for one year.

 Alex Hunt. of Thatcher, has sent .n his bill for S2iu for furnishing the elk with board and lodging He has informed the state that he kept the elk in a style in keeping with it's po- sition. Furthermore. he rendered service in the way of carrying water.
 The elk was one of herd brought into Graham county few years ago. smaller than the rest Of the herd it received the betting of the communi- ty and refused 10 leave Thatcher.
 IL was the town pet until il became the town nuisance. for how was q poor little elk to know that familiarity breeds contempt. When the people began to consider il more or less a pest, Hunt says. he agreed to take care of it. providing the state paid the ex- pense He contends that o. R.
