CHINA AND JAPAN
REACH AGREEMENT
SETTLEMENT OF LONG STAND
ING DISPUTE OVER SHAN.
TUNG Is cONSUMATED
PARLEY WILL BE- RESUMED
Mediatory Proposals Supported. BY
President Harding Was The Fin
al Basis On Which The Agree
ment Was Reached.

Neutrality-suspicious. and China
have virtually settled their long-stand'
ing fued over Shantung. The medi-
atory proposals supported by Presi-
dent Harding was the final basis on
which the Japanese and Chinese
agreed in principle, after seven-hour
session Of the Shantung negotiations,
and although some details of phrase
ology remain to be worked out, final
settlement is expected by tomorrow
night.
In their discussions, which lasted
until late at night, the Japanese and
Chinese centered their attention upon
the key problem of the Tsingtao-
Tsinanfu railway, with which the
good offices" of President Harding,
Secretary Hughes and Arthur J. Bal
four have been concerned. The pro-
posal given approval in substance pro-
vided that China pay for the railroad
in 15-yaar treasury notes with five
year option, and that Japanese experts
be retained during the payment per-
iod in some departments of road ad-
ministration, but under a Chinese su-
perior Official
The Japanese Chinese converse
tions will be resumed, aud 1t is the
hope Of some Of the delegates that
the agreement will be in such definite
form that it can be announced when
the conference assemblies for it's first
public session since December 10.
1t is expected that two plenary ses-
sions will be called, in order to bring
up TO date the formal ratification of
various decisions reached in the Arm
ament and Far Eastern committees.
A dozen resolutions relating to China,
however, await approval, and the
Root submarine decision also awaits
the official sanction of the conference
proper.
With the naval treaty and Shantung
definitely out of the way, only very
few callateral issues will stand in the
way of final adjournment of the con-
ference. None of these promise to
take very long, and some of the dele
gates believe they may be on their
way home by the end of the week.
Among subjects yet to go through
both the committee and conference
stages are the proposal to prohibit
importation of arms into China, q
settlement regarding the Chinese
Eastern railway, declaration regard
ing leased territories in China, the
Chinese request for abrogation of the
"21 demands" treaties, and general
resolution relating to land armament
In. regard to most of these virtual de-
cisions already have been reached in
informal exchanges between delega-
tion heads, although the Chinese East
ern railway problem is developing
considerable difficulty because of
Chinese objection to proposed meth
DDS of financing and policing.

PREPARATIONS BEING MADE To
WORK WITH STATE HIGH
HAY DEPARTMENT
WILL HaRDsURFACE ROADS
Taxpayers Will Be Asked To Vote
$4,000 As Fifty Per Gent OF The
Work, According TO The
Estimates.

Abbeville, La-Vermilion parish is
making preparations, working in CO
operation with the State Highway
Department to construct system of
hard-surfaced highways. If present
plans are carried out, the parish
within short time, will have one of
the best highway systems in the
state. .
The movement was launched by
a number of progressive citizens, who
organized a parishwide Chamber of
Commerce to push this and other
important development work in the
parish. Special efforts were made to
induce farmers to join the organiza-
tion and many of them are members.
One of the first projects taken up
by the Chamber of Commerce was the
construction of a parish highway
system 1t was decided to ask the
police jury at its next meeting to
create a road district comprising the
territory embraces in the First,
Third Fourth and Ninth Wards of
the parish. Within this proposed
road district are the towns OF Delcam-
A.bre, Erath, Abbeville, Maurice and
Kaplan The assessment of the dis
trict for 1921 is between s10,000.O00
and 100000.
The taxpayers will be asked to
vote bond issue of $500,000, the
proceeds of which are to be applied
first to the districts contribution to
the state highway fund necessary to
defray the cost of construction of that
part Of the state highway system in
yermilion parish, and then to the
building of local lateral highways.
The part of the state highway
system it is proposed to build is
that section of route No 25, not yet
constructed. running through Guey-
dan, Kaplan, Abbeville, Erath and
Delcambre, to the iberia line; route
No. 26, from Kaplan to the Acadia
parish line, and route No. 43, from
Abbeville through Maurice to the
Lafayette parish line.
This proposed contribution, to be
SO per cent of the cost of the work,
according to present estimates, will
be about 100000 The remainder of
the districts funds, say 100000, will
be used to build local lateral roads,
the funds to be allotted to each ward
in proportion to assessed valuation.
The milage of the state highway
routes 10 estimated to be thirty
.eight to forty miles, and the funds
available, according to present esti-
mates will be sufficient to build about
sixty miles of lateral roads, which
viii be narrower and less expensive
than the main highways.
Under this plan Vermilion parish
will add 100 miles of hard-surfaced
roads, which, added to the roads row
in process of construction in the
Eighth or Gueydan Ward. win make
the total mileage about lao miles.

pened that the officer was returning
to find his missing club and he paused
and waited-still out of sight of the
soldier-to watch the shot.
He insisted that he never saw such
a drive in his life and instead Of 60
ing to the man and reprimanding him
he went back and got his clubs and
told the soldier to try the others, but
either because he was embarrassed or
because he put all the golf he knew
in that iron. the soldier couldn't play
with any club as well as with the
iron. When asked what he. thought
about the game his sole COM
ment was that 1t looked good to him.

sary to pack SO darned many clubs
for fiye or six miles.

about a crowd of spectators at q ten

all sports tennis matches draw spec
tators the great bulk of whom play
the game and know all the fine
points, even though they are not ex-
ponents thereof. The difference be-
tween a tennis gathering and a base
ball crowd is that one really knows
all about the game under observation.
while the other thinks 1t does.
If you yourself understand the fine
points Of our national game. take a
seat some afternoon in bleacher or
grandstand and follow the contest
with eyes upon the field and ears
upon your neighbors. You will leave
while superficial knowledge of base
ball is a common possession, real
depth Of understanding is confined to
