FRANCE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-French delegates commenting on the Chinese proposals agree that they form suitable basis for the discussion of the Far Eastern question. The pro- posals to them, however, seem to lack definiteness except as to prin- ciple and it is presumed that the Chinese delegation will take aa early occasion for suggesting specific set dement's of the Shantung, Mon golia, Manchuria and other disputa- tious problems. Premier Briand, the Chinese project, commented on the general outline of his proposed speech about the French army.
 France being isolated" he said 'is in a different position from America, Great Britain and Japan in the limitation of naval arma- ments. Those countries are friends and they propose, as friends, among | themselves to reach a easonable and equitable restriction. France is not in such relation to Germany | Consequently France is bound tC
 make some provision for her seeur- ity as seems to her sufficient.
 "Germany is in a situation where
 she can with great rapidity mobilize
 five or six million men who have
 had service in her armies. We mus
 be able to put immediately into action a force adequate to delay ol prevent rapid mobilization. It shal go into the questions in the addres. I am to make when MT. Hughes in.

CHINA SUBMITS PROPOSALS
 AS BASIS FOR DISCUSSION
 OF FAR EASTERN QUESTIONS
ENGLAND
Republican A. P. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16- Four features of the official British view point on China's proposals on the Far Eastern question were emphasized tonight by the highest authorities:
 Great Britain reiterates that she is in full agreement with the open door policy.
 She regards the spheres of in- fluence' as antiquated are unsuitable to modern conditions.
 The Panama canal is not regarded as a specific question and will not be urged on the consideration of the conference.
 The Anglo-Japanese alliance Is not regarded by the British as directly involved in the Chinese proposals for settlement of the Far Eastern ques- tion, although it may be drawn into the discussion later.
 By the same authority, it was said, consideration of Far Eastern ques- tions will proceed at once upon the basis of the proposition submitted today by the Chinese delegates. Topics set out in the Chinese plan will be referred to experts.
 While the British viewpoint is that the Anglo-Japa alliance is not directly involved in any of the Chi nese propositions submitted today the British would welcome an agree ment between the great powers or even one limited to America, Japan and Great Britain to replace it. This is founded on the feeling that there is need for some cooperative action to regulate conditions in the Far East in the interest of peace and pros perity.
 s No proposition concerning read justment of foreign indebtedness to the United States resulting from. the war will be advanced by the British delegates. Evidence that the subject is not in contemplation for consider ation is afforded by the fact that there are no financial experts at- tached to the British representation. In fact there is every evidence that the British instructions contemplate strict adherence to the agenda pro- posed by the United States.
 It is known that the French dele gation is of the same mind.

JAPAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-China's proposal today surprised Japanese delegates. They had been expecting suggestions from the United States, rather than China, because it was the United States that first laid empha sis on the importance of discussing the Far Eastern questions in connec- ton with armaments.
 The first wave of fear in Tokio that an examination of Far Eastern matters would be tantamount to placing Japan on trial at Washington was followed by more tranquil views. Japan determined to enter into a frank discussion and her spokesmen gave assurances tonight that China s ten points laid before the conference today did not change their plan.

TRepublican A. p. Leased WIreJ

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-C. s. McNett of Evanston, friend and former legal adviser of the family of Arthur c. Burch, held at Los Angeles for mur- der, today signed deposition in sup port of the claim that Burch is in- sane, in which he says Burch told him weird story in February. 1920. of an attempt by Mrs. Allie Quayle Burch to kill him. Mrs. Burch, the daughter of Bishop Quayle. recently obtained a divorce.
 The deposition says Burch claimed his wife had attempted to murder him in bed and had then talked with what she thought was his spirit in an effort to get his impressions of the future life. MT. McNett'S statement says he drew up a divorce bill on the strength of this story, at Burch's re- quest, but after talking to Mrs. Burch dismissed the matter as the product of a diseased brain.
 Tn February. 1920, Burch came to me-" the statement said, and told me his wife, Mrs. Allie Quayle Burch, has tried to kill him. He said he was | lying in bed when he felt a hand close on his throat. He placed his own hand beneath this and his wife squeezed his hand then and not his throat. Finally she asked, Are you dead -
 "Burch said he replied. Yes. I am dead
 Mrs. Burch Is then supposed to have asked: How does it feel to be dead?' Burch replied that it wasn't so bad
 Then Mrs. Burch felt her hus- ! bands heart. It was beating. Al this, accprding to Burch. She told him, You are not dead, you are warn and your heart is beating.' Burct replied he was dead but hadn't goi cold yet
 Then Mrs. Burch is supposed tc have said: Well, I am going dowT stairs and get the shears and kil your father and mother Burch said he thought the farce had gone fan enough. He jumped out of bed and his wife exclaimed: Why, you have been fooling me you're not | dead at all.' "
 MT McNett said that he was con- vinced that Burch was insane at the time he made the statement and thai nothing of the sort had occurred. | 0NG nROIGHT PROKEN

Basis for Tuition Rate.

Boise, Idaho, May 9.-The state
board of education bas prepared the
report blank which will be sent to all
high schools 10 the state for The pur-
pose of ascertaining the Information
on which to base the tuition for
students who attend school from
outside the district.
When properly filled in, the report
will be submitted to the state board
of education and, if approved by that
body, will be returned TO the school
with authority to charge the amount
of tuition as disclosed by the inf0rma-
tion in the report.
The per capita cost is not based on
average daily attendance or on
enrolment but on the average
number belonging to any one school
for the year. 1t has been estimated
that the attendance figures would
make the cost too high and the
enrolment would make 1t too low.
The average number belonging has
been taken as the proper basis for
figuring the per capita cost.
There are two main divisions of the
report, instruction and operating.
Under instruction there is the total
outlay for teachers salaries, cost of
text books aud coDsumable supplies.
Operation expense includes heat. light
power, water. janitor service, supplies
and warrant interest. The grand
total of these items is competed.
From this result and the average
nun Der of pupils for the year the
average cost per pupil belonging to
TO any school per year is calculated
IT. is then reduced to monthly basis,
which is the tuition outside students
must pay.
