IN PLENARY SESSION
China Gives Formal Assent to Root
Principles and Conference
Adopts.

Washington, D. G.. Dec. 10 tBy the
Associated Press THE fourth plen-
ary session of the arms conference
opened promptly at II o'clock with .
statement BY Secretary Hughes that
.most satisfactory progress has been
made BIZ I'll, committee OF the whole on
the far easter questions.
@1slat committed" said Secretary
Hughes, "at first permitted general
discussion Of the questions before the
committee and then proceed to take
up The topics specially indicated in the
tentative agends.
ssThe first subject considered was
China. In the course OF the general
discussion most important declarations
were made on behalf of the powers
represented, expressing their intentions
with respect to the sovereignty, in
dependence and administration integ
rity of China and also to observe as
among themselves the principles OF
fair and equal opportunity"
Secretary Hughes added that the
s.Root four points constituted in
truth a charter containing an insurance
to China from acts in derogation of her
rights to integrity" and also binding
agreement for future guidance Of the
powers
Secretary Hughes, proceeding to read
the Root resolution declared that they
were a definite statement of princi-
pies" and that it was unnecessary for
further discussion, he believed. In that
all delegates were members Of the far
eastern committee.
Mr. Hughes said also the resolution
was an assurance that as between pow
ers there would be careful observance
Of the principle Of free and equal OPP
portunity and that none would seek
special advantage or privileges at the
expense or the rights Of others. All
that was necessary he added. was TO
have the formal assent Of the confer
enee and he invited Cliina's assent.
The Chinese accepted the invitation
and the resolution was approved unan-
imously.
A.wave Of applause from tbs. gallery
followed the adoption Of the Root reso-
lutions. Secretary Hughes then pro-
ceeded to deal with other matters on
the agenda.
"The first of these" said Mr..
Hughes, related to China's territorial
ity and administrative integrity. As
the first principle lof the Root resolu-
tions) adopted fully covered that mat
ter, the committee proceeded to deal
with special instances, special matters,
in the application of this principle.
"In the course of the general discus
sion there has been presented on be-
hah of China a series of propositions,
he said. The fifth of these dealt with
existing limitations on China's juris-
dictional procedure.
Mr.. Hughes recited that the first
question then dealt with was that of
extra territorial rights and that after
full discussion the far eastern com
mittee had adopted the resolution,
which he read
Again China was asked TO partiei
pate in forma' approval of the commit
tees action and did so, making the
acceptance unanimous.

ply heart taking and the suspense of the book become overwhelmingly acute as one follows the fortunes of the white stragglers and the efforts of the faithful Uncas to rescue them from the Hurons in general and from Magua in particular. The action moves against marvellous backgrounds-back grounds
 which are awe-inspiring and give one
 an eerie feeling. The scene of the
 Fort William Henry massacre is stark
 in it's realism. One can almost catch
 the sound of the screaming women
 and children as they are tortured by the redskins.
 This is Cooper to the life. And with true dramatic instinct, the story switches to the sentimental side, and considerable knowledge of Indian
 customs is shown. Magua has cap tured the two white girls. The brun- Iette offers. to go with him so that the little yellow hair may be spared. And the Delawares permit xher to go. ae- cording to Indian justice.s But Uncas who loves the dark -haired girl and whose affection is recfprocated, fol lows the trail And far upon the rocky ledge he fights the Huron.
