general that II would be permitted to

strengthened by the departure OF NJ

TT WAS foreseen that the Chinese
problem would be the most trou.
blesome for the conference, for obvious
reasons. At this writing II seems to
have come TO n question whether the
! Anglo.Japanese treaty will be abro-
gated, and If so, whether some sort
of a tripartite agreement will be sub
Stltuted for 1t. Unless the former Is
done, probably the discussions will be
fruitless; and unless the latter Is
done, II is likely Great Britain will
not consent TO the former. On Mon
day the eight powers sitting In the
committee on the Far East adopted
a program submitted by Elihu Root
by which these points were made
sure:
There will be no Intervention by
foreign powers in the present pollt-
lcal struggle In China.
The territorial and administrative
integrity of the Asiatic republic Is as.
sured.
Japan and all the other nations
agreed to refrain from a greedy scram-
BILE for commercial rights and privi.
leges there.
The "open door" finds new defnl.
ton.
Baron Kato won decided victory
for japan when he persuaded the
committee virtually to recognize that
Manchuria, though IN integral part
OF China. Is so thoroughly in posses
sion Of the japanese that the status
quo should he maintained there. There
Is divergence Of views among the
British. French and Chinese as to
how the Root principles are to be
applied to specific matters. At the
close Of the week the Chinese pro.
posals for lifting foreign restrictions
on China's customs revenue were be.
ing considered by a subcommittee.
One concession had been won by the |
Oriental repuhic-permiSslon to In |
crease Its tariff rate from per cent
to 1914 per cent. So far ms Is now
apparent, the idea of restoring to
China the various parts OF her ter
rltory now held by other powers has
gone into the discard. That question
is complicated by the fact that Rus.

FORT BAYARD TO BE
SOLD; PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICE LIKELY TO BUY

Official announcement has been
made in Washington of the purpose
of the War Department to sell at
auction as part of the army economy
plan, more than 20 large real estate
tracts over the country regarded as
useless for present or future army
purposes.
Included in the sale, the
ment says, will be the extensive Fort
Bayard military reservation. one of
the finest in the country. Fort Bay
ard now is under lease to the United
States Public Health Service, which
is using the large hospital for the
treatment and care of over 1000 ex-
service men suffering from tubercul-
osis.
Public Health Likely Buyer
While no statement has been given
out. It is regarded as certain that the
purchaser of the Fort Bayard reser-
walton and sanatorium buildings will
be the United States Public Health
Service.
1t is known that the Public Health
Service regards Fort Bayard as the
most desirable of its present hospit-
ais, especially from the standpoint of
climate. Improvements and extern
sions, totalling approximately 81 ,ON,-
900, to be made Immediately, would
confirm the rumor that the reserva-
ton will be taken over by the Public
Health Bureau.
Famous as Cavalry Post
Established in the early 60 as a
frontier cavalry post, when maraud-
ing Indian bands were committing
d~epredations in the Southwest, Fort
Bayard is one of the historic army
posts of the United States, 1t was at
Fort Bayard that Lieutenant General
Nelson \. Miles once was stationed
and it was here that General John J..
Pcrshing, on his graduation from
West Point, saw his first active SER
wise as a second lieutenant OF cav-
airy.
When the War Department found
il no longer necessary to MAINTAIN
Fort Bayard as a cavalry post, it was
turned over to the Medical Corps of
the United States Army and convert
ed into a hospital for the treatment
of soldiers afflicted with tuberculosis
Dtllp inc plOictf army Sdlidtoi iuil
in the United States. As such an
institution it has since held first rank.
10000 Acres in Tract
The Fort Bayard reservation en-
braces 10000 acres Of magnificent
land in the foothills OF the Pinos Al
tos range of mountains. The reserva-
ticn for the most parts is timbered,
with an unfailing water supply, and
has thousands of acres of splendid
grazing lands. 1t also is believed TO
be rich in mineral deposits.
If By any chance all OF the reServa-
ton should not be taken gel by the
Public Health Service, it is cert2in
tha: bidding would be very spirited
among the large cattle companies for
the land. 1t might be that the Public
Health Service would desire only
enough acreage TO adequately pro-
vide a site for the sanatorium and
! rotect the water supply ard range
