CHINESE ASK FOR
 NATIONAL FREEDOM
Dr. Sze Reads Demands of Asiatic Re- public Before Secret Confer
 ence at Washington.

Washington. Nov. 1e-China today asked recognition as an independent nation.
 The great Pacific empire of more tha 4OO,OO0,OOO souls, possessors of the worlds oldest civilization and culture, pleaded with the younger powers this afternoon for her sov- ereign rights.
 Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese minister to the United States and chief of the Chinese delegation, read before the secret conference on Eastern affairs lat the disarmament-Pacific conference an expose of the demands of the Asiatic republic. Ten points are enumerated by the Chinese who will nov ethe adoption of the principles embodied therein before subcom- mittees proceed to work out applica- tions of these principles, in secret, to the various problems of the Orient.
 Respect for her territorial integrity restitution of seized provinces and regions, abandonment of special rights, monopolies, privileges and ex- tra-territorial rights, and withdrawal of foreign troops from her soil and permission to direct her own domestic affairs and govern her own internal and foreign policies, is what China asks
 Asks for Independence.
 The Chinese delegation does not ask that all powers enjoying monopolies and privileges usurping her sovereign rights and occupying her territory shall abandon their claims and evacu- ate their holdings immediately. She asks instead merely that her rights to exist as a free and Independent na- tion be admitted by all states on her for decades and that as time goes on and conditions warrant, the economic industrial, commercial and political letters on her be looseed For cen- turies before the "dOOr" was pried open for younger powers to enter and lCot and seize in China. she gov erned herself inside her frontiers and maintained order. But the "open door, proved to be a one-way passage with everything foreign going in and nothing Chinese coming out, except such exports as the guardians of the portal controlled and levied on. No foreign power patrols Japan with it's troops, nor collects customs duties for the Tokio government; no foreign power holds the salt mo- nopoly in Britain no foreign power administers portions of the United States for the Washington govern ment

WORK OF MANY BUILDERS

Westminster abbey has been changed
and rebuilt so many times that. one
must go back to the Seventh century
to locate the architect who erected the
first structure bearing the name. He
was st. Sebert. king OF Essex. and
probably not one stone OF the original
ediflce Is now IN place.
Edward the Confessor repaired the
abbey during 1055-65. but his work did
not withstand the tooth OF tune. and
In l220 Henry III gave orders for a
complete restoration.
In 1909 the ecclesiastical authorities
OF London made a complete Job OF the
reconstruction OF all the dilapldated

years under the direction OF a builder
named Wyatt.

PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE
Many Breeders Follow Practice some
Time Prior to Noting When
ouiiis Are Dry.

Many breeders of geese In the South,
and some In the Middle West and the
North pluck the feathers from the live
geese at some time prior TO molting.
Some pick every six weeks during the
summer, and early In the fall, while
others pick only once or twice year.
either In the spring. or in both spring
and fall. Feathers are considered ripe
for picking when the quills are dry
and do not contain blood. Both young
and old geese are plucked. The aver
age yearly production OF feathers is
about IL pounds TO the goose.
The practice of plucking live geese.
however, is considered by many breed
crs to be cruel and Injurious. Geese
should not be plucked during the
breeding season. A stocking usually
Is placed over the head Of the goose,
and part of the soft feathers on the
breast, back and sides and abdomen
are pulled. Enough soft feathers TO
support the wings always should be
left. Geese feathers are now bringing
about 70 cents pound for pure white I;
65 cents for average white, and 50
cents for gray. These prices are for
good, dry feathers.
