POISON GAS
is OUTLAWED
Five Great Powers Ap-

Proposal
TO PROHIBITVSE
AS WAR WEAPON
Mediation in Far East
Seems the Only Possible
Solution There

| Washington, ID. C.. Jan. tBy th'
Associated Press Poison gas as al
!! instrument of warfare was outlawee
! by Great Britain, Japan, France, Italy
and the United States, who through
their representatives in the Washing
ton conference approved the American
proposal to prohibit the use Of That
weapon.
After the adoption of the anti-gas
resolution, the armament committed
took up the report Of it's sub-commit.
tee on aircraft limitation but reached
no conclusion on that matter. The air
craft discussion will be discussed on
Monday.
Washington, d. G., Jan, ! tBy The
Associated Press Arthur y. Balfonr
and Secretary Hughes, il was said to-
day BY British spokesman, probably
will await joint request from the
Japanese and Chinese delegates to the
arms conference to mediate the Shan
tung dispute, before stepping into the
breach caused yesterday when the con-
rersations between the two groups
came TO an end after failing to agree
on terms Il payment for the Kiaochow-
Tsinanfn railway.
Messrs. Hughes and Balfonr, the
spokesman said, however, likely would
agree to meet the Chinese delegation
in response to its request made late
Yesterday. They thus would receive
the Chinese report on the situation.
The British view il that the situa.
tion Is 50 delicate that ii would be
difficult for the British and American
delegation heads TO intervene at the
instance o. the Chinese without the
Japanese joining in the request. This
the Japanese announced to the Chi
nese last night they were unwilling
to do although they said fhey had no
objection to the Chinese asking medi-
alton.
The Chinese delegation shortly be-
fore noon received an invitation from
Mr.. Balfour for conference late In
the day. The delegation said il had
not received any reply from Secre
tary Hughes to its request and did not
believe that he would attend the con
ference with Mr.. Balfour.

DEMAND FOR POTATO
INSPECTION INCREASES

A few daYs Aso complaint was
made that potato growers here and
elsewhere throughout the county ap-
perently did not realize the advantage
Of having their potatoes inspected
by a state oncial, but since then the
situation has changed, according to
reports received here saturday. For
Skull Rutherford, state inspector. is
being kept ION the jump" all the
ttnan.s calls coming in for inspection
almost every hour.
The inspector on Saturday said that
under. ordinary circumstances, g car
load OF potatoes can be inspected in
the course o. two hours. depending
somewhat on the manner in which
tho car has heen loaded.
Mr.. Rutherford comes only when
sent tor; but 1t was said here that
hs probably would visit East Grand
Forks some time this week for The
purpose OF ~discussing various angles
OF the potato marketing problem with
growers and buyers In this part OF
Polk county.

closed Saturday noon.
At the present times it Is not known
how many la5orers the bureau has

but 1t is sad by those familiar with
the labor conditions that the num-
Der exceeds that which was expected
when the office vas opened. ss Ii.
The closing order was received at
a time when the activities Of the bu-
reau had reached their climax, for
scores Of persons were being sent out
for potato picking during the last
few days.
During the height of the harvest
ing and threshins season the bureau
was busy finding laborers for farmers
from all over the county, and it IL
said that in nearly all cases mutual
satisfaction resulted.
