Commencement of Purchase of
Hail Warrants Awaits Ac-
tiOn of Bond Attorneys

Purchase of North Dakota's 1921
hail warrants will begin as soon as
the two firms in Minneapolis, who
are jointly, financing the proposition,
have received the approval upon the
decision of the North Dakota Supreme
Court in the recent injunction case
from a firm of Chicago attorneys to
whom they submit questions Of legal
points upon financial matters. A GER
titled copy of the opinion left Bis
marck on the first train after the de-
cision was handed down and decision
of the attorneys upon the points sub
mitted to them is expected in the
course of day or two.
The companies have made all ar
rangements to make immediate pur-
chases as soon as they receive legal
assurance that the decision protects
the buyers Of the securities. Moneys
already are in Bismarck to begin the
purchase and additional credit will
be furnished as desired. The war;
rants probably will be purchased
through the First National Bank.
Complete power was given the In
dustrial Commission to make good it's
contract when the supreme court de-
MED the injunction requested by Otto
Bauer, who Instituted friendly suit
for the financial organizations to set
tie certain questions which had not
before been presented to the court.
The decision covered the entire field
of the contract and the powers of the
Industrial Commission in dealing
with the questions raised concerning
the operation of the hail warrant
laws.
Entire Law Covered
The entire course of the hail in
surance legislation in the state is set
forth in the opinion, beginning with
the adoption of a constitutional

tion and the subsequent passage of
laws making operative the different

TOKYO, July 1.-THE first Incl
dent in the Siberian fishery grounds
where rival fishermen of Japan and
Russia have been operating under
the respective protection of Vladi-
vostok cruisers and Japanese gum
boats are reported today.
A Vladivostok cruiser seized the
output of a Japanese cannery at the
mouth of the Suvesta River and
compelled the Gamers to suspend
work.
The Japanese authorities are
making an investigation in readi,
ness to lodge a protest. if it is
proved the Gamers were operating
under the Japanese ruling. Appa-
rently, however, the Japanese opera
tions were not authorized by any
one.
The foreign office IS awaiting a
messenger from Chita carrying a
formal proposal to resume the
Chita-Japanese conference. 1t was
announced that the messenger has
left for Tokyo. The Japanese are
willing to resume the conference
along clearly defined lines. They
want a commercial agreement whicn
does not include recognition. similar
Tokyo demands safety for Japa-
nese' lives and property in Siberia,
and it is stated that the careful
keeping of this pledge during the
period of a year or so will be

A movement in Tokyo has been
started the save the Japanese bat
tleship Mikasa from the scrap heap,
although disarming it and render
ing useless for war purposes.
This action is urged for senti-
mental reasons as the Mikasa was
Admiral Togo's flagship in the bat
tie with the Russians in the sea of
Japan, and it is comparable with
Admiral Nelson's victory.
Admiral Togo, when interviewed,
said he hoped the ship would not
be. sunk or demolished, but the
matter was in the hands of the
minister of the navy.

BELFAST. July II. Crudely

last night. Today members OF
Royal Ulster constabulary are keep

mean that the building is desig-

Such secret signs appear daily

Ambassador Harvey Says
Financial Mission Will
Arrive in September.
EXPECT NO DELAY
IN NEGOTIATIONS
England Will Probably
Pick Sir Robert Horne
To Head Delegation.

The State Department announced
yesterday the receipt of a cable
gram from Ambassador Harvey at
London stating that a mission of
British financial experts would
reach the United States early in
September to negotiate the funding
of the British war debt to America.
Britain Owes Half of Debt.
Ambassador Harvey's cablegram
was the first official word this gov
ernment has had of Great Britain's
plan for taking up the debt for ne
Eotiations since the formation Of
the Allied Debt Funding Commits
sion. although il had been hoped
that Great Britain would be the
first to discuss funding arrange
ments in view Of the fact that Ens-
land alone owes about half of the
s11. 900. 900 900 foreign war debt to
United States.
The view has also been expressed
at the Treasury that arrangements
with Great Britain as to interest
terms and maturity for the pay
ment of her debt were desirable as
1t is not believed the other debtor
nations will be able for severaI
years to commence making regular
payments to the United States.
To Determine Interest.
The view expressed yesterday by
Treasury officials that the negotia-
tions with the British would be
carried on expeditiously as a course
to be followed was plain, there be-
ing only the question of interest
and maturity to be determined.
Whether the negotiations already
begun with NJ. Jean Parmentier, di-
rector of finance of the French
Treasury. for the funding of the
French debt before discussions with
the British representatives are be-
gun: officials declared, could not be
forecast because of the probable un-
forseen developments in the course
Of the French negotiations.

Balfour and Harvey De.
vising Plan for Share
In Oil Fields.

LONDON, July Instantaneous
ly with the opening of the league
of nations council today. Ambas-
sador Harvey announced the COM
pleting of successful negotiations
between the United States and
Great Britain reagrding mandates.
Treaties covering all the British
mandates under the league of ma
tions, including Mesopatamia and
Palestine, already have been drafted
by Lord Balfour and Mr.. Harvey
and are awaiting the councils ap-
proval for ratification by the Par
lament and the Senate.
A solution of the vexed mandate
problem which has been hanging
fire for three years, permits the
exploitation of the oil fields in
Mesopatamia and stabilizes the
Zionist movement in Palestine.
The treaty does not change the
previous existing mandate and it
does not provide for the United
their concessions on oil lands, but
II does provide tnat Americans Will
be permitted to prospect in the
region and search for oil deposits.
enjoying equal rights on any claim
they obtain with other foreigners
or native Arabs.
The original Anglo-Franco and
Italian holdings embracing nearly
all the known oil deposits in
Mesopatamia. are not changed.
Germany's former holdings being
divided between the allies with the
United States left out through not
ratifying the treaty of Versailles.
Mr.. Harvey indicated that the
United States is negotiating similar
treaties with Paris for the mandate
territory which France holds, in
cluding Syria.
The drafts of the treaties al
ready framed will be submitted to
the league council tomorrow for
approval and then win be placed
before the assembly IN September
at Geneva. after which they will be
sent to the respective Legislative
bodies for ratification.
