Fifty years ago this week the New London Northern railroad, its rolling stock and equipment, was leased to the Central Vermont railroad. By the terms of the lease the New London Northern Il ad was to receive annual payments of ten per cent on the capital stock and bonds for a period of twenty years. The same week an official investigation into the causes leading to the burning of the steamer City of New London was started at the custtm house in New London.

Indemnity for Killing of
Japanese Asked of China

PEKING, Feb. 19.-Demands for
compensation, damages and an apology
growing out of the burning of a Japa-
nese consulate and the killing and
wounding of Japanese subjects by
Chinese or Corean bandits in Hung
chun last October, have been presented
to the Chinese government by the
Japanese legation here.
Following the raid, the Japanese
sent troops into the territory, which is
a part Of Manchuria under Chinese
Jurisdiction, and the question Of their
withdrawal has been subject of dis
cussion between the two powers for
several months. All but two battalions
are said to have been removed. and the
Chinese government is refraining from
going into the question of reparation
until the remaining troops are evacu-
ated.
Counter claims for damages and
other satisfaction are said to be forth
coming from the Chinese government,
due to depredations by Japanese
troops during their occupation of the
territory.

Sn1uts Says America
Misunderstands League
South Africa Premier Says VIII.
SON Hundreds of Years Hence
Will Re Called Great

JOHANNESBURG, Union of South
Africa, Feb. 19.-President Wilson was
persuaded to the view that the British
Empire is in reality small league of
nations, declared Jan Christian Smuts,
Premier Of the Union of South Africa,
here to-day in addressing an enthusi-
nstic League of Nations demonstration.
He expressed the hope that America
soon would adopt this viewpoint, Join
the league and assist it with all it's
might.
The Premier said that one of the
difficulties Americans faced in study
ing the league was in the fact that the
small nations OF the British Empire
had a vote, but he asserted that it
should be understood that South
Africa's vote WAS that Of an independ-
ent state.
"Thus, what America achieved by
seven years of bloody war" he con-
tinued, "was achieved peacefully by the
league for South Africa" The Premier
added:
Hundreds of years hence Wilson's
name will be one OF the greatest in
history. The league, which will be one
of the most potential things in the
future of mankind. came from the
hearts of peoples and embodied inspi-
rations born out of the sufferings of
the late war"

Palestine Will Seek
A Development Loan
Country in Need of Everything,
Including All Forms

LONDON, Feb. 19.--As soon as Great
Britain's Palestine mandate has been
submitted to the League Of Nations
an effort will be made to raise loan
for development Of the country, which
Is regarded as having great possibili-
ties, according to Sir Alfred Mond,
Commissioner Of Works, who recently
returned from an official visit to Pal
estine.
Sir Alfred declared the enthusiasm
of the Jews for reconstruction of their
national home was unbounded, and
Jews were walking from all over Eu-
rope to the Holy Land, their journeys
sometimes requiring as long as eleven
months. The possibilities of Palestine
both as producing and consuming
country are immense, Sir Alfred said,
but pointed out that Palestine suffered
much during the war, and many Of its
most fertile tracts now resemble a des-
ert. The cost of living in Palestine has
risen 500 per cent, Sir Alfred declared,
adding that the country is in need of
everything, including all forms Of ma
chinery.
Sir Alfred said that the authorities
were convinced of the existence of min
eral oil in Palestine, and actually
knew that phosphates and asphalt were
there,

White Guard Approved
By Mexican General
No Objection to Petroleum
Workers Organizing to Main.
tain Order i'm Tamnico

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 19.--Guaranties
for agrarian agents in the states Of
Michoacan, Jalisco, San Luis Potosi and
Mexico were requested from the Secre-
tary of War yesterday by Socialists. 1t
was declared the agents were encoun-
tering bitter resistance in their at
tempts to appropriate lands and re-
turn them to their alleged original
owners, small villages and municipali-
ties.
The agents, who are acting under
Federal direction, are meeting with
stern opposition in the form of "civil-
ian defenders," who are alleged to have
assasslnated two agents in the state Of
Michoacan.
Organization of "white guard" by
petroleum workers in the Tampico
region does not constitute "a humilia-
tion for Mexico" according to General
Manuel Pelaez, Federal commander in
that district,
General Pelaez declared the guard,
although composed largely Of for
eigners, was under Mexican leadership,
and had operated solely as a defensive
organization. He declared such a body
of men was needed because of the
diminished number of Federal troops
in the region.
A white guard" was necessary under
present conditions, the general de-
clared. He added that in all cases
he found members of the force sub
servient to Mexican military regula-
tions.

Austrians Hope Harding
VIII GiUe Financial Aid
Declare Nafion Must Unite
With Germany Unless Netp
Administration Gr0nkS Lnn1n

Just as the Austrians hoped that
President Wilson would relieve their
plight, they now hope that President
Harding will be their savior, and un-
less the incoming Administration
grants Austria loan her position as a
nation will be hopeless and she will be
driven into consolidating with Ger
many.
That is the view of the Austrian
situation brought back to this country
by Macmillan Grab, publisher of a
half dozen fashion journals, who has
just spent four months in Vienna. Mr..
Grab is member Of the American
Relief Committee for Sufferers in Aus
tria and several similar committees.
Austria is now suffering from the
peace as greatly as she did from the
war when that was going on" said Mr.,
Grab. "The people are starving, and
there Tesms to be no way of returning
the country to tolerable conditions
without outside help. loan of
from the United States, would go a
long way toward doing that" he de-
clared.
In describing the peculiar conditions
Prevailing in postwar Austria, with q
population Of 100000, compared to
the 60,000,000 population of the former
central power, Mr.. Grab stressed the
fact that che new government has had
to retain the same number of govern
ment employees as the old empire. Sad
died onto the taxpayers, he said, ara
$4,000 government job-holders, or one
to every nine of population, simply be-
cause the government dare not dis
charge them. AS there are no other
jobs for them it is feared, he said, that
revolution might be the consequence
of discharging them.
The average salary Of these en-
ployees is 5000 kronen month, he
said, or nearly 81 in United States
money at the present exchange rate.
When he left Austria a dollar would
buy TIT kronen.
"The value of their money has be-
come a great joke" he said. ''The
people who have money prefer to put
it into good pictures and antiques
rather than into the banks. In the
last two years more antique shops
have opened in Vienna than there are
in New York and Paris"
MI Grab was born in that part of
the old Austrian Empire that is now
Czecho-Slovakia. 81
New-York tribune., 1921-02-20

leaders will reach no agreement at the
London meeting, and will revert to the
original indemnity clauses Of the Yer
sailles treaty.
Berlin to Seek More Delay
The reparation bill is now expected
to be about t20,000,000,00 gold marks,
in which it is reported the Reparation
Commission allows 70 per cent as the
estimated increased gold value of
articles to be replaced. German reports
say that Germany intends to try to
postpone the settlement date of May 1
by insisting that there is not enough
time to examine and reply to the Al
lied claims by that date.
The most interesting point in the
German counter proposition, and one
about which the least is being said
here, IS the alleged intention of the
Germans to divide up the worlds mar
kets. All the Allies are agreed on the
IL per cent tax on German exports, be-
cause this would tend to increase the
price of German export goods and to
prevent dumping. Foreign Minister
Simon's proposal seems to be that the
Germans will refrain from unfair COM
petition in the Allied markets in re-
turn for permission to exploit Russia
in order to pay the Allied war bill.
The Germans would like to send
manufactured goods to Russia in ex-
change for grain and raw materials,
which they would export to the Allies.
England and Germany stand together
in desiring the initiation of trade rela-
tions with Russia. France continues to
be firmly opposed to the Bolsheviki,
both in the south and the north. She
will probably give the fullest support
to the offer which is expected to be
made by the Turkish Nationalists at
the London conference to make war on
the Reds in exchange for the revision
Of the Treaty of Sevres.
France will offer to give UP Cilicia
to the followers of Mustapha Kemal
as the first sacrifice in securing Turk
ish military help against the Boil
sheviki. The Turks would make
Georgia into an Bolshevik barrier,
stretching from the Black Sea to the
Caspian.
1t is probable that the reports of the
evacuation of the Georgian capital,
Tiflis, in the face of the alleged Boil
shevik attack by "many divisions, in
Guiding cavalry" is we'll timed to help
the Kemalists plea in London,
Now that President Wilson has dis
appeared from the negotiations and
Armenia has gone red every one is
agreed to throw Armenia to the Turks.
