hastily, and every moment her fear
was growing. She spied the note
pinned to the lamp handle and stared
at it mutely as if dreading to know its
contents, but she unpinned it with fin

ly. She watched 1t coming with no
show of interest Directly in front Of
her the paddle remained suspended
and the boat came to a stop. Tonni-

fan to the pit of her stomach. Here,
right before her was the Salvation

"How do you do?' he said. smiling
at her. 81 see you're having a nice

Tonnlbel shook her head.
NO, I amt, and Gusslp aint,

BY a skillful twist of the paddle,
Philip MacCauley drew the canoe close
to the dock.

1t is almost as easy to picture
a conference on international af-
fairs getting anywhere without its
premier as it is without its NJ.
Camerlynck, whose efficient inter-
pretations have done much to
eliminate delays in the armament
deliberations here. And so, until
he returns to Washington, which
will be the first of next week, IL
may be taken for granted that the
French delegation, at least, will
mark time.
NJ Camerlynck Joined the exodus
of the large number of officials and
delegates who went to New York
yesterday afternoon. He is so al
together indispensable that his
countrymen can't very well get
along without him. Incidentally he
is a double for John Drew, before
that gentleman took on excess
avoirdupois and was overtaken by
ripening years.
The British delegation moved en-
masse to New York yesterday.
They are to be the guests of their
countrymen in the metropolis at a
series of dinners and entertain
ments lasting through Monday and
Tuesday.

In the leased territory of Kwan-
tung province there reside no less
than $4,000 Japanese, and the COM
mercial and Industrial interests they
have established there are OF such
Importance and magnitude to Japan
that they are regarded as an essen
tial part of her economic life.
1t is believed that this attitude
of the japanese delegation towards
the leased territory of Kwantung is
not against the principle of the
resolution adopted on September Il.
Circumstances Vary.
Mr. Balfour pointed out that
leased territories. though nominally
all described under the same title.
were held under very different and
varying circumstances The Japan
csc delegation had already indicated
that Shantung and Manchuria respec-
lively were held on entirely diff
erent bases and must be considered
from different points of view. Great
Britain had two different kinds of
leases, and these, as he thought the
Chinese delegation itself would ad-
nit, must be held to stand on a
different footing one from the other
Mr.. Balfour referred first to the
leased territory of Kowlocn Exten-
sion. Why, he asked. was 1t con-
sidered necessary that the leased
territory of Kowloon should come
under the same administration as
Hong-kong? The reason was that
without the leased territory, Hong
Kong WAS nRFfRfflV indafanGfh1a y
would be at the mercy Of any enemy
possessing modern artillery. He
hoped that he would carry the con-
terence with him when he asserted
that the safeguarding of the posi-
ton of Hong-kong was not merely
a British interest. but one in which
the whole world was concerned.
He was informed that Hong-kong
was easily first among the ports
OF the world, exceeding in this re-
spect Hamburg before the war, Ant
werp and New York. Mr. Balfour
then read the following extract
from The United States Govern
ment Commercial Handbook of Chi
ma"
The position of the British
Colony of Hongkong in the worlds
trade is unique and without parallel
1t is free port. except for a duty
on wine and spirits; it has relatively
few important industries; it is one
or the greatest shipping centers in
the world; it is the distributing
point for all the enormous trade of
South China, and about 30 per cent
OF the entire foreign commerce of
China. The conditions of Hong
Kong in its relations to commerce
are in every way excellent, a2d the
government centers all its efforts on
fostering trade. while the future is
being anticipated by increased dock
facilities, the dredging of the fair
ways and other improvements. The
merchants, both native and foreign,
give special attention to the assem-
bling and transhipping of merchan-
disc to and from all the ports of the
world, and with the worldwide
steamship connections at Hongkong.
the necessity of retranshipment at
other ports is reduced to a mini
mum. Hongkong is the financial
center of the East"
Mr. Balfour said he could not add
al ything to this perfectly impartial
testimony to the conditions of abso-
lutte equality of nations under which
the affairs of Hongkong are admin
istered, and the motives on which

Mr.. Balfour then passed to the
question of Wei-hai-wei. The ac-
QUESTION by Great Britain of this
lease had been part of the general
movement for obtaining leased ter
ritories in 1898 in which Russia.
Germany and France, as well as
Great Britain, had been concerned
The motive which had animated the
| Germans in acquiring Kiaochow had
been largely to secure economic
domination. The motive OF the Brit
ish government. on the other hand.
in acquiring the lease of Wei-hai-
wei had been connected with re-
sistance to the economic domination
/ Of China by other powers: in fact,
| it had been based on a desire for
the maintenance of the balance of
power in the Far East, with a view
to the maintenance of the policy of
the open door. and had been in
tended as a check to the predatory
action of Germany and Russia.
| Mr.. Balfour laid emphasis on the
/ fact that the convention OF July 1,
| 1898, confirming the lease gave no
| economic rights or advantages to
| Great Britain. There had been no
| question Of its being a privileged
| port of entry for British commerce,
nor for the establishment of Brit

Points.

Tnere Is wonderful transform

and publicity the weapon of that
spirit.
The peace spirit took charge of
the arms conference on the open

departing crowds and took up its
abode in the conference hall and

IL il compelling spirit. stretch

of battlefields innumerable to the
hope of a warlike world. and all
the horrors of yesterday combine
to coerce a world into a new path.
New Spirit Rules.
1t used to be said that the paths
OF glory led but to the grave, but
that description does not apply to
paths no less glorious that lead to
prosperity and progress based on
friendship and cooperation.
All metal will fiuX at some tenn
perature and the warmth of the
arms conference is sufficient for
the supreme task of uniting the
world
II will be seen that they are find
ing a solution of problems that
seemed insoluble. For the old dip
lomatic ultimatums based on
threats. they are substituting
frankness and cordiality. Nothing
is final between friends. Each party
feels free to make suggestions and
the suggestions are considered in
the friendly spirit in which they
are made.
Agreement Is Predicted.
The end will be agreement on all
important points and charity
where differences yet remain, but
the differences will be due to diff
ferences in local conditions and
will not be inconsistent with the
general purpose of the conference.
This first Sabbath in December

it has had on any previous in CEN

AMERICAN LAWYER

|. HAyRE, Dec. s-Awaiting the
sailing of the liner Paris, on which
he is to return to America Mon
day to face investigation Of charges
of fraud in connection with ship
contracts, Charles w. Morse tonight
appeared unworried at the failure
Of his search to find a lawyer to
represent him.
Donald Harper. leading American
lawyer in Paris. refused to repre-
sent Morse.
Morse. however. did not appear to
be disturbed and spent the day in
his room, clad in his dressing gown.
Guarded By Detectives.
French detectives in the room ad-
joining Morse's, and on the stairs
of the hotel did not appear TO
bother the fnancier any more than
his failure to get a lawyer.
The people of Havre were as
tinctly not thrilled by the deten-
ton of Morse. They were much
more interested in Douglas ran-
banks and Mary Pickford, who are
to sail son the Paris Monday.
Charles W. Morse. shipping finan-
cier. has acquiesced the demand
OF Attorney General Daugherty
that he return to the United States
from France for examination in
connection with the investigation
of certain United States Shipping
Board p-buIlding contracts.

Justice yesterday that he will re-
turn on the steamer Paris. leaving
Havre Monday night.

cier's two sons. who are here. said
last night that Morse was placing
his life in jeopardy by returning at
this time. Morse. they said. was on
his way to Rome to consult his ply
stefan relative to an operation for
gall stones. He is IN a critical con-
dition. they said. and failure to re-
ceive the specialists attention may
prove fatal.
officials indicated that other.
may be involved with Morse in the
investigation OF ship contracts to-
falling approximately $40. Qp0. 900.
These contracts were made during

Justice Department officials and
