Of 14O5 feet. There remains but
10 feet of sand and the drill will
be sent through this Immediately.

The government has decided not to
publish any of the conclusions reached
by the conference for the present, but
it was declared that the results had
been so gratifying that similar confer
ences may be held annually. The com
ferees included high Japanese military
and civil authorities and was presided
over by Premier Hara.
Msst bs Fully Psoteoaed.
While officials generally declined to
say whether Japan would take any new
positive steps in Siberia and Shan
tung, they voiced the hope that China
was willing to discuss arrangements
for restoration of the province.
They emphasized that Japan sought
nothing in exchange, but must have as
surances that Japanese residents and
interests in Shantung would be fully
protected.
1t was added that the absence of
responsible authority in China with
which to deal was the greatest handi-
cap.

The impression prevails in Toxic
that Japan has actually inauevrated
negotiations with the Chinese govern
ment. -
Meanwhile the leading japanese
newspapers insist that Japan viii with
draw her troops from the Shantunx
railroad to Using Tau without swat
ing Chinese acceptance of Japan's
standing offer to open restoration ne
gotiations.
1t is declared this withdrawal will
be carried out to hasten arrangements
for the actual REIMBURSEMENT of the

The conditions for recognition, it is
understood, are practically identical
with the recommendations made by
Senator Fall, in his report at the last
session of congress as chairman of a
sub committee of the senate foreign
relations committee which investigated
the Mexican question. The important
features of the communication is said
to be insistence that Obregon must
that Americans and their interests will
be properly safeguarded in Mexico. If
such assurances are given, it is believ-
ed that Henry p. Fletcher, under Sec
retary of state, who was ambassador
to Mexico for time under the Will
son administration, will be designated
to represent the United States in draft
ing treaty.
Leave No Ground Of Doubt
The communication contains nothing
which can justify it being character
lied as an ultimatum but is understood
the Mexican executive will be left in
no doubt as to the determination of
the American administration to see that
American interests are not definitely
Disseminated against. It is said to have
been prepared in collaboration with
Secretary Fall.
Among the conditions set forth are:
Elimination of those provisions of
the constitution relating to the nation
alization of the subsol rights insofar
as they affect the tenure of the land to
which title was obtained prior to the
adoption of the constitution of 1917.
Retain Rights for Appeal.
Elimination of the provisions
which deprive Americans Of the right
of diplomatic appeal in cases where
property is acquired.
Modification Of the provisions which
prevent Americans requiring and own
ing property within a certain zone
along the Mexican coasts and interna-
tional boundaries.
Assurance that Article 33 IF the
constitution providing for the expul-
sion of "pernicious foreigners" will not
be applied to Americans without the
filing of charges and the opportunity
Of fair trail.
Modification of the provisions gov
erning religious worship in such man
ner that American clergy shall have
the right to exercise the functions US
ual to their denominations.
Suggest Mixed Court.
1t is also suggested that the two |
governments agree to the creation Of |
a mixed court for the adjustment of
claims.
The Mexican question is said never |
to have been discussed at length at any |
meeting Of President Harding's cabinet |!
but it is understood that careful con-
sideration has been given it by the
president and secretaries Hughes, Fall !
and Hoover.
Some optimism is expressed regard
ing Obregion's reception Of the decis-
ion, but in other quarters the opinion
prevails that he may submit counter
and if they are rejected re-
fuse definitely to sign the agreement.
