FELTON,

It has been definitely ascertained
that the burglars who robbed the Fel-
ton postofice on January 3rd last, Sc
cured one hundred and thirty dollars
in cash as the result of their daring.
They gained entrance thru a window,
but left no clew by which they could
be trailed.
The store of John VOshell was en-
tered last week by thief while the
proprietor was eating supper in an
adjoining ROOM Beside a sum of
money, several articles were missed
but there has been no arrests made
because of a lack of evidence which
would convict in court. There is no
reason why people should steal in the
town or vicinity of FELTON,. There is
no suffering from lack of supplies, or
employment whereby money can be
earned. It is a class of people who
want to get money without working,
or giving value for it in any form,
that is doing the stealing, and if the
people will shoot to kill, or prosecute
the thieves vigorously in court, there
will be a stop to this kind Of lawless-
ness. Better go to work and get a
living honestly.

Today's parley between Japan and
China on the Shantung controversy
may force q decision whether It is
to end amicably or whether the con-
versations will be broken off, it was
said today in Chinese quarters.
Conference Resumed Today.
The conversations will be renewed
late this afternoon in the Pau-Aiueri-
can building. China's principal dele
gates will participate against the
wishes of q majority of the Chinese
dvisers here. and In the face of strong
disapproval from the South Chinese
faction, and also the Chinese peo-
pies delegates" Monlin Chang and
2. T. Yuf.
The converse tons that have been
held have resulted in nothing. Japan
has stood pat" on her offer to give
up Shantung provided Japanese are
allowed 80 per cent control Of the
railways. That is the proposal she
had previously made to Peking direct,
before the conference In Washington
assembled.
The Chinese peoples delegates today
issued a statement which. after review
ing the history of the Shantung con-
troversy, charged Japan has a COM
plete plan to dominate communica-
tions and natural resources OF the
country"
Mineral Grabbing Charged.
Japanese experts" the statement
said, have mapped the whole face
of China and discovered precisely
where the valuable mineral deposits
lie, have In combination with jap
anese capitalists, acquired or pretend
they have acquired. most of the min
erals of China.
I'm the matter of preferential
freights on railways and steamers con-
trolled by them. and in all manner of
subtle irritations. the Japanese are
impeding foreign commerce in Chinese
territory. precisely as they did In
Korea
In the many railway concessions
IT Is plain to zee Japan has COM
plete plan to dominate the communi-
cations Of the country. Today 1t is
the Shantung railway, which Is ac-
tually the center Of the discussion
now proceeding between China and
Japan. japan Is trying desperately
to retain control of the Shantung
railway, because, as in South Man
churia. SO In Shantung. the instru.
mentality for dominating the prov.
ince economically-and thereby polit
ically-is the railway.
The fate of the Shantung railway
Is therefore the fate of Shantung
province. No settlement except un'
conditional return to China is &C
cebtable or will be tolerated by the
Chinese people,"
