MAY DECIDE TO JOIN
FAR EASTERN DISCUSSION

TOXIC, July 24.-(By The Associated
Press. THE belief prevails in diplo-
matte circles here that the reply of the
United States to Japan's query as to
the nature and scope of the questions
to be discussed at the proposed con-
ference on far eastern questions and
disarmament will be followed by an in
timation by Japan that she will accept
participation in the far eastern discus
sions.
It is believed here that Japan also
has received from the allies word that
they do not interpret the proposed
conference as in any way directed
against the interests of Japan. 1t is
considered unlikely the participations
will be able definitely to arrange agen-
da before an official assembling of
the congress for which the Washing
ton administration apparently desires
to issue invitations as soon as possi-
BILE. The diplomats here express the
opinion that Japan may accept with
reserve and maintain perfect freedom
without being committed in advance
to any line of action.
Publicists are reverting to their ORR
ginal viewpoint as to the imperative
necessity for the creation of perma-
nent and practical understanding with
America. which they now deem more
urgent than ever because of the uncer-
tainty surrounding the future of the
alliance with Great Britain.

Shovel So Hours
to Recover Body
of Cave-in Victim

Red Wing, Mimi, July 24.-After 50
hours of constantly shoveling by men,
the body of Frank Elk, who was buried
alive in cave-in, in the sand Dit of
the Red Wing Filter Sand Co., here
Friday forenoon, was recovered at 1890
p. m, Sunday.
Ek's neck had been broken and his
body badly bruised. The recovery of
his body was made extremely difficult
by continuation of sand running into
the pit. 1t is estimated that more
than 1000 tons of sand was moved.
Saturday afternoon practically all
the factories in the city were closed
and their crews put to work in the
sand pit. They worked all night.
Elk is survived by widow and a
daughter.

BANDITS SHOOT
TWO Of POSSE
Five Men Rob Bank of
$4,000 and Make
Their Escape.

Taylors Falls, Mimi, July 24.-
Scores of citizens, headed by county
and village authorities, secured the
woods for miles around Sunday in
search of five men, believed to be bank
bandits, who shortly after midnight
engaged in gun battle with the village
marshal and several citizen guards.
Two men were shot, one seriously.
The alleged bandits are believed to
have escaped to Wisconsin.
The wounded men are Bert Gibbs,
a young man Of this place, who was
shot in the shoulder, and Sidney Top
ness, farmer living near here, who
was shot in the abdomen when he re-
fused to heed the command of the
guard to halt. His condition is crit
ical. Gibbs is recovering.
Get $4,000 Loot.
Saturday five men held up the Farm
ers State bank at Almelund, a small
town near here, and escaped with Lib
erty bonds valued at $4,000. Local
authorities were notified of the rob-
berry and guards were placed along the
principal highways and at the bridge
over the st. Croix river.
About 1890 a. m. Sunday an auto
mobile coming from the Wisconsin side
of the river crossed the bridge at high
speed and failed to heed commands of
Lewis Freeden, village marshal, and
several guards, to halt. Freeden and
his men opened fire, which was re-
turned. Gibbs and Topness were
wounded.
Auto Turns Over.
A short distance from the bridge,
the automobile struck sandy stretch
of road and turned over. The occu-
pants extricated themselves and fled
into the woods amid a shower of bull
let's from their pursuers.
Though the woods were searched
from one end to the other, no trace
of the men could be found. The au-
thorities believe they worked their way
to the ST. Croix river, swan across
and fled into Wisconsin.
Five bullet holes were found in the
wrecked automobile Several shirts
and collars also were found.

FRENCH SEEK
ENGLISH AID
Compromise Is Reached
on Silesian Issue
Says Paris.

Paris, July 24.-(By the Associated
Press. "A compromise has been eff
fected between France and Great Brit
ain regarding the Silesian issue as a
result of new exchanges Sunday after
noon. Premier BRAND, it is announc-
ed, will probably agree to a meeting
of the supreme council about the mid
die of the first week in August.
In return for this, Great Britain
has been asked to join with France in
requesting free passage through Ger
many of reinforcements.
At an interview between Sir Milne
Chetcham,, the British charge DAT
faires, and Philip Berthelot, general
secretary of the French foreign af-
fairs, it was made clear that France
strongly desires to eliminate the diverg-
ence of views between the two coun-
tries, which, although it existed only
as procedure, was being exploited by
Germany. France still desires to send
reinforcements to Silesia, it was ex-
planned, and Great Britain was urged
to ask Berlin for assurances of safe
transport
The meeting of the supreme council
will be held at Boulogne or Paris.
The French ambassador at Berlin
was informed by DR.. Friedrich Rosen,
the German foreign minister, Saturday,
that in the German view, the request
for safe conduct through Germany of
division of French troops on it's
way to Silesia must be made, not by
one of the three occupying powers in
its own name, but by the three pow
ers as whole. DIR. Rosen asked
whether the request was so made
Great Britain has let it be known
since the question of sending reinforce
ments into Silesia came up, that she
did not see the necessity at present of
sending further troops into the plebis-
cite area and suggested that meet
ing of the supreme council be called
Immediately to discuss the status of
Silesia.
The French government has insisted
that the troops were necessary and
advocated a meeting Of experts to con-
slider the situation before assembling
the supreme council.

TERMS SHORT
Of Sim FE|N
IDEAL, CLAIM
Outstanding Feature Is
Doninionism Outside
Six North Counties.
May Prove Strongest
Lever for Forcing
Ulster Into Lineup.

Belfast, July 24.-(By the Associat-
ed Press The belief appears genera.
in Belfast that Eamonn de Valera, the
Irish republican leader, will not accept
the terms of the British government
Tor settlement of the Irish question
which falls far short of the republican
ideal.
1t may be assumed that the outstand-
ing feature of the government offer
is fiscal control, which implies domin-
ionism fer Ireland outside the six
northern counties and unless special
provision is made to the contrary, it is
believed likely to prove the strongest
lever for forcing Ulster to join with
the southern parliament.
The prospects apparently are not dis
concerting to the northern cabinet. Sir
James Craig, Ulster premier, has left
for Scotland with his wife and daugh-
ter to join his sons, who are on a
holiday there, and John Miller An
drews, minister of labor, who is also
president of the Ulster unionist labor
association, did not attend the monthly
meeting of that body Saturday night.
Although not officially stated, it is
generally believed here that the Ulster
government has received the most
positive guarantees from the British
prime minister.
Meanwhile the authorities are TAX
ing advantage of the truce to restore
matters to a normal basis.

TRUCE REMAINS UNBROKEN
AND LONDON is HOPEFUL

London, July 24.-(By The Associat.
ed Press) THE truce between Eng
land and Ireland, which his lasted for
a fortnight, is unbroken and every day
gained is regarded as favorable to q
peace settlement.
There is no sign from Dublin of ap-
proval or disapproval of the govern
ment's proposals. But the fact that
they have not been rejected outright
is considered good ground for hope.
1t is said that the government will
not insist that the settlement be ef-
fected through the machinery of the
existing act of parliament but will be
disposed to consider any plan upon
which Ulster and southern Ireland may
be able to agree for attaining the de-
sired end.
Almost all the discussions here,
however, assume that Mr.. de Valera
must be willing to agree to the main
tenance of the present status of the
Ulster parliament, and those most fa-
vorable to Ireland's cause express the
hope that the Irish republican leader
and his friends will recognize the fu-
tility of throwing away the chance of
peace by insisting upon any plan cal
culated to disturb listers position.
Their view is that time will be on
their side in bringing Ulster around
to cooperation with the south.
It is not yet known whether Mr..
de Valera intends to convene the re-
publican parliament for the purpose of
considering the proposals.
