Discussion at washington.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-two
courses are open in attempting to bring
Japan into full participation in the con-
ference to discuss Far Eastern questions
and limitation of armament. The state
department may again present the case to
her informally and ask that she consider
once more the return of an unqualified
acceptance. On the other hand this gov
ernment may go forward with its plan OF
sending out formal invitations in the hope
that the officials at Toxic will decide they
can secure a satisfactory delimitatlon OF
the discussions after the delegates have
assembled.
There is a feeling here that Japan
scarcely will decide in the end to stand
by herself among the powers when con-
fronted with the actual choice of accept
ing or declining formal invitation.
1t is manifest that high officials here
are thoroughly confident they will succeed
in constructing basis of negotiation
that Japan can accept.
As it is understood in Washing, the
feeling of Japanese statesmen is that
there are many vital questions which
ought not to be opened up to worldwide
debate in the present state of world rela-
tionS. 1t is understood that none of these
questions are mentioned by name in the
note to this. government, but among Off
cialS here there is poignant realization
of what they are.
1t is held to be easily conceivable that
the objection might be applied, for in
stance. to such subjects as disposition of
the Island of Yap, japanese occupation
of the northern half of Sakhalien and
the Shantung concessions.

yate sale the assets of the Vermont Farm
Machine Co. of Bellows Falls developed at

portunity for further consultation with

gregating $4,000 and Attorney George

scented $4,000 of similar claims. Mr..
BARRIERS clients are the DaviS-Watkins
Dairymen'S Mfg Co. the Bull Stamping
Co. and the National Can Co. of Detroit
and the !. G. Cleary Co. of Cedar Rapids,
Ia.
The attaching creditors insist that their
attachments are valid and that they are
a first lien on the property and are en-
titled to preference over all other claims,
including the receivers certificates.
Charles III. Terry. an investment broker
of Bristol. Conn. who had entered into
contracts with creditors having claims of
SJ26.01 81 out of total of S662, ,421 .4S
and with all the holders of common and
preferred stock. offered to pay dividend
|of % per cent to such creditors as had
filed attachments against the assets and a
dividend of 10 per cent to such of the
general creditors as had not entered into
the contract for reorganization and to
pay the balance of the receivers certifi-
oates and court costs ..
When Attorney Barber objected to the
proposition of Mr. Terry the latter en-
larged his proposition and offered to pay
the attaching creditors 40 per cent.

The company is desirOuS of removing its

not allow the logs to be taken out and
threats have been made to the effect that
If an attempt is made to remove the logs
