HAGUE CONFERENCE
IS STILL IN DANGER
Problem is to Find ComprO-
mise Between Communism
and Property Rights.

THE HAGUE, July 80 By A. P
The experts conference. on Rus
stan problems has held on through
a great crisis but is not yet con-
sidered out OF danger All the dele
gates as they sat Sunday in their
icy hotels az Scheveningen were
unanimous in this view but their
depression. which Is very evident
undoubtedly Is Influenced by the
persistent absence OF sunshine and
the equally persistent biting North
sea winds. The danger arises from
the attitude or the Russian delega-
ton towards restitution OF con-
fscated property and prominent
European representative frankly
declared that unless the sOviets
made many concessions from their
intransigeant policy announced Fri
day Il would be quite useless 20
continue the conference
The English delegation remains
doggedly optimistic: IL believes that
suitable comp romise viii be
found on the vital problem OF the
property OF foreigners in Russia.
The italians also are hopeful The

Russians do not care whether the
conference succeeds or collapses az
they will hope 20 make advanta-
geous separate agreements with dlf-
ferent financial groups and $hereby
obtain immediate credits for which
they constantly clamor and which
the conference may long postpone
even n a general accord is reached.
Such - a brief summary OF the
situation as the conference Is

Although this move Is considered
a temporary expedient with the
prime purpose of influencing the
deliberations at Paris, official finan-
cial circles would welcome this re-
vision as indicating a general solu-
ti0n OF the present schedule Of gold
payments, which Chancellor With
had declared Germany is in no posi-
ton TO carry out.
While officials decline TO say IL
the present mission TO Paris Is d.
rect outcome Of the conferences now
going on in Berlin, banking offices
believe that the progress which has
marked the deliberations IN the last
few weeks has contributed material
ly to encouraging the German gov

 A mile to the north, blocking the otherexit from Drowned Valley, Mike Clinch, Harvey Chase, Cornelius Blommers, and Dick Berry stood lis- tening to the shooting,
 "B'gosh," blurted out Chase, it sounds like they was goin' through. Mike. B'gosh, it does!'
 Clinch's little pale eyes blazed. but he said in his soft. agreeable voice:
 Stay right here. boys. Like as not some of 'em will come this way"
 The shooting below ceased. Clinch. Clinch's nostrils expanded and fattened with every breath, as he stood glaring into the woods.
 "Havre," he said presently, you an Corny go down there an kinda look around And you signal if I'm wanted. G'wan, both o'you. Git!'
 They started running heavily, but their feet made little noise on the moss.
 Berry came over and stood near Clinch. For ten minutes neither man moved. Clinch stared at the woods in front of him. The

 Presently two shots came from the south. A pause; rattle of shots from hastily emptied magazines.
 "G'wan down there, Dick!' said Clinch.
 You'll be alone, Mike"
 "Au right. You do like say; git along quick"
 Berry walked southward a little way. He had turned very white under his tan.
 "Gol ding vel" shouted Clinch, take 1t on lope or I'll kick the papts off'n vel"
 Berry began to run, carrying his rife at trail.
 For half an hour there was not sound in the forests of Drowned Val ley except in the dead timber where unseen woodpeckers hammered f1t- fully at the ghosts of ancient trees.

 He meant to settle matters with Mike Clinch anyway He was not afraid of Clinch; not really afraid of anybody It had been the dogs that demoralized Quintana.

 As Picquet came up Quintana turned on him. with gesture toward the extinguished fire: Tt is cold like he'll" he said. Why do you not have some fire?"

PRODUCES MORE RICE.
Production, / By Improved Methods,
 Keeps Pace With Population.

Tokio, Nov. 3.-While Japan does not produce sufficient rice for the needs of her people, who. even after an elaborate banquet require a bowl or more of their staple food, produc- ton has kept pace with the increase of the population. In the early days of the Meiji reign, when the popu- lation was 35,O0O,O00, there was 35,- oO0,O0o koku of rice produced. This year, with a population of 7o,ooo,ooo the crop is estimated at an equal number of koku. The increase In production is due more to improved methods than greater acreage under cultivation.
