STOCkHOLM, Sweden, January A.
The various reviews of business pros
poets for this year in Sweden and the
other two Scandinavian countries are
extremely optimistic despite the pres
ent terribly depressing effects of un-
employment. The greatest factor en-
tering into the revival of the foreign
trade-the stabilization of exchange
rates-seems to be on the road TO settle
nient with Swcden's money now nearly
on par with the American dollar.
During the last two years the "x-
change rate has continually operated
against SWedenS trade with the / tnit'u
States. not only because the dollar was
SO costly. but because of the violent
fiunctua ions. Bankers here believe that
this difficulty has been overcome t.
such an extent that business with the
United States can go forward as IN
former days. Danish exchange through
a S30.000.0o0 loan has also been i'm
proved TO such an extent that the pros
poets for American business men i'll Co
penhagen are brighter than they have
been since 1873.
Normal Production Seen.
Though III" trade experts with whom
til" writer has talked hesitate to look
forward for more Than three months, all
agree that production in Sweden should
reach normal proportions by June. They
say that by that time the various indus
tries viii absorb more than 100 400 per
sons who are nOw out of employment in
order TO meet heavy domestic and for
eign demands. Trad" with Russia aud
the Baltic states. which is slack at pres
ent, is duc 10 increase greatly by early
spring, offering AN outlet for goods now
stored in warehouses and having no
market. Several American business men
who used Rcval and Riga as their head
quarters last summer have returned To
Stockholm and Copenhagen, preferrins
to take advantage of stable financial
conditions rather than rlsk additional
capital on the tricky exchange rates

reasonable to SUPPOSE that the Japa-

Toxic regarding Shantung. Baron
kato. head of the Japanese delega-
Japanese have received some in
structionS. they did not fully cover
the ground and that the delegation is
waiting for supplemental instructions
from home.
New Negotiations Reported.
A rumor has been in circulation
here that the Toxic government has
been attempting to deal with the
Shantung matter through negotiations
in Peking, and further. that the Jap
anese are in a position to give
orders to the new government in
Peking Baron Kato denies fatty,
however. that the Shantung matter is
being handled in Peking. 1t will be
decided through the negotiations in
Washington, he insisted, if it Is de-
cded.
Both Japanese and Chinese continue
to express hope that the Shantung
matter will be satisfactorily settled.
The Chinese insist. however. that
they have gone as far as tHey can IN
making concessions. while She Japan
eSe take the same view Of their own
offers.
The Japanese delegation will be in
a position soon. it is believed, to take
up the Shantung matter again. The
Chinese point out that meeting
necessarily must be held, at which
the Japanese will formally state to
the Chinese what is their reply to the
Chinese proposals regarding the
Shantung railroad.
Mediation May he Proposed.
If at this meeting it becomes ap-
parent that no solution of the
problem can be reached, and ne
gotiations are again broken off, then
the alternatives will be mediation
by Secretary Hughes anu Mr.. Balfour.
or an appeal by the Chinese to the
full conference committee on the
far east to take the matter up.
The twenty-one demands of Japan
also must be considered. in the
opinion of tire Chinese. if there is
to be a real settlement of the far
eastern problems at this conference:
Also there looms up the question of
Siberia and the removal of japanese
troops from that region. The French
early in the conference offered to
return to China the leased territory
France holds at kwangchowan, pro-
vided the British and Japanese would
return their leaseholds. The British
followed this with an offer to give
over their leaSehold at Weikaiwei,
which is in the Shantung peninsula.
These are questions which must be
handled if there are to be real accom-
pIishments at the conference in
regard to China and the far east, it
is declared.

MURDER AT

Film Colony and Taylor Mystery Cause Wide
 spread Comment.

Los Angeles, Feb. 10.-The recent murder of William Des- mond Taylor at Hollywood is still as great a mystery as the day upon which his body was discovered.
 Two young women of the movie colony are being connect ed with the case. The police department is also making na- ton wide search for l.. Sands, valet of Taylor, who disappeared immediately following the dis covery of the crime. Sands is likewise being sought by the War Department, the adjutaLt general of the Army stating that he is wanted on the charge of desertion.
 In many quarters it is alleged that prominent film people are making a determined effort to prevent the investigation of the Taylor murder from pursuing certain channels which would reflect further on tffe already dubious reputation of Holly wood. Criticisms from all parts of the United States, many de- handing the abatement of the film colony, are pouring into the authorities handling the case.

 Took Jack Denapsey's Best And Stuck til the End

Rioux more nearly matched up to his conception of what a potential cham pion should possess.

Gadbols' plan not to let him don the mttts for a period of six months.
 Took Jacks Best
 That period of trial elapsed last month and then, true to his deter mination, the physician began to put his pupil through a course of lessons in boxing. He had completed the first stages of his training in this re- spect when Jack Dempsey came to Montreal on. an exhibition swing
 Dr. Gadbois requested shat Jack put on the gloves with the Canadian and spare no punishment through four rounds What the mentor wished 10 do was to test the heart of the man. And Rioux wished himself tested. The two went at it hammer and tongs, and at the end of the four. rounds, Rioux, while dazed and somewhat shaky, was still on his feet and willing to take more.
 "A coming champion" said Jack.
 Dr. Gadbois believes this himset. Rioux must still learn a lot about the art of hit, stop and get away but he still has all the mental qualflca- lions. Keep your eye on Rioux.
