REACH AGREEMENT
'0N NSHANTUNG| ISSUE
>NaochoW- W-Tsinanfu Railroad
Problem Nearly Settled by
Japan and China.

The Tar eastern horizon cleared ma
lerlally yesterday when Japan and
China reached 4 tentative agreement
on the major Shantung issues. Fore
n,, mos. was a virtual settlement of the
question OF the Kiaochow-Tsinanfu
railroad in Shantung. which Japan
agreed to return within nine months
This was the e>culmination of a series
OF conversations between the two
powers in which the question of in
demnlty payments was thraShed out
II has been agreed formally that
China should get back the famous
railroad with an indemnity as the
basis of transaction.
Thursday China offered to pay this
indemnity in cash and showed her
good faith by procuring the offer of
Chinese bankers to forward the funds
necessary to the government. This
was not accepted by the japanese,
who demanded that China pay for the
made by Japan. China was sus-
piciouS of this method, according to
authoritative information, and re-
fused.
The outcome was a compromise in
which China agreed to pay the debt
in installments, and this Compromise
Is considered to be the means of
bringing about a happy conclusion Of
the long negotiations. 1t has not yet
been decided over how long a period
tne lnStaiimenI plan payments Will
extend. China would like to pay it
all within two or three years and get
it over with. but Japan maintains
that this is much too soon and Sug-
geStS what seems to the Chinese "a
very long term" 1t is expected that
this minor detail also will be COM
promised. as also will be other of the
lesser Shantung issues.
The Immediate return of the rail-
road would be somewhat of q blow to
the japanese economic situation and
adversely affect her trade interests.

PROGRESS OF PARLEY
PRAISED BY GOMPERS
Sees Trend Toward Eternal Broth

Peace.

The conference on Limitation Of
arms already has done enough to en-
courage the people of the world that
for the first time in the history of
the human family "a plan is now
nearing consummatioh, the trend of
which must make for eternal brother
hood and international peace"
This declaration was made by
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor at a
meeting of the Caravan Club in the
Washington Hotel yesterday.
1T has been suggested" he added.
that after the closing of this in
ternational conference there shall be
held another or other conferences
Far seeing men have suggested and
recommended that the future confer
ences shall take on a character that
shall not only help in the trend to-
ward disarmament, but shall also
take cognizance of tie causes which
are calculated to bring about differ
ences and ruptures in international
relations.
so we are urging that there shall
be periodical conferences of a char
acter and order that shall take up
questions not only of finance and
commerce, but also the industrial life
of the peoples of the world. For bear
IN mind that. though finance and
commerce are necessary to the high
est development of civilization, finance
and commerce depend entirely upon
industry and agriculture. without
which there can be no commerce"

According to Mr.. Brasol, the move

the sentiments Of the majority of the
farmers themselves. 1t is there, And
education has not progressed to the
point of reading generally in the
rural sections. wherefore a republic

Russians are adhering more strict
~ to the church than ever The first
decree Of the communists was that
churches should be closed. their rev

this led to a reconsideration. More
recently it has been permitted that
churches be open. but an insidious
campaign to undermine religion has
gone forward from soviet headuuar-
ters. This mental campaign caused
a mental reaction and the church is
stronger than ever before.

"TSAR! TSAR!" RUSSIANS WHISPER,
SICK OF SOVIET, SAYS MESSAGE
Boris Brasol, Representative of Supreme
Monarchical Council, Declares Masses
Will Put Romanoff Back on Throne.

Russia today is sick and weary
from the regime of sovietism. In
streets are being whispered the
words "Tsar, tsar." Bolshevism has
failed. and movement for the return
of a Romanoff to the throne of Rus
sia has begun. All that is being
awaited is the psychological moment
when the tables of Lenin and Trot-
sky will be totally reversed.
This is the message brought to
Washington by Boris Brasol. a men,
ber of the Russian supreme mon
archical council and the councils rep
sentative here. He stated In an
interview yesterday that the masses
of Russia will rise against bolshevik-
ism and place Romanoff once more
on the throne of all Russia, but that
the time was not yet ripe.
Brought Letter to President.
Recently, in his official capacity. he
rendered a letter from the metropoli-
tan of south Russia of the Holy Rus
sian Orthodox Church to the Presi-
dent, the Secretary of State and
members of the foreign delegations
to the conference on limitation of
armament, in which this ecclesias-
tical superior of south Russia re-
quested and appealed that moral
support be given to the Russian peo-
pie at the tragic hour of their reso-
lutte struggle against the forces of
the internationale."
Both from that letter and from Mr..
Brasors interview are CLEANED the
statements preceding. Metropolitan
Platon of south Russia, in the letter
says:
1T is the desire of the Russian peo-
pie to preserve the unity of their
country in spite of the. treacherous
policies of the soviet, which. encour-
aged by foreign interests inimical to
Russia. deliberately carved out of her
original territory vast areas that for
centuries belonged to the Russian ma
ton"
In Rags Of Misery.
In another part Of the letter he
adds: To-day Russia lies in rags. of
misery and ruin. ceprived of every
thing except her church, which alone
stands firm and united amidst the
roaring waves of anarchy and civil
war Indeed. in can be said that 1.-The
gates of hell shall not prevail against
1.-The church," he continues, sis the
only power that has survived the
horrors of the sweeping destruction
of Russian life and spiritual culture.
There is no power on earth that can
take Christ away from the Russian
people. for He dwells in their hearts.
and there. amid the dark night of the
present, He shines as bright ray Of
hope, bringing consolation to them in
|, their tragic grief
Country Is Disrupted.
Mr.. Brasol confirms the words of the
metropolitan and adds much more to
them. His interview yesterday en-
phasized the following points:
Russia economically is disrupted.
Politically Russia is body, dor
mant and sleeping, which will rise up
through the might of the peasants
when the word is given by the patri-
arch. or head, of the Russian Church
Religiously, Russia is in the highest
spiritual life of her existence
