PROPOSE DAWES"
PLAN TO HELP CHINA
IN MONEY AFFAIRS

New York, Nov. 17.-(By A. P.)-
A Dawes plan" for China, arranged
by business men rather than diplo-
mats at an international conference
soon to be called by China herself,
wa; reported in financial circles here
today to be taking tentative shape.
American business interests oper-
ating in the Far East have mean
while suggested to the state depart
ment that at such parley this
country favor the funding of old
Chinese obligations instead of en-
dorSing new loans.
Revelation of the new develop
ments has come with receipt of re-
cent advices from Picking which in
dictate that DIR. G. r. Wang, the new
foreign minister of China, proposed
to invite the various foreign powers
Interested in China to attend such a
parley at Picking in the near future
The meeting would be to discuss
ways and means to bring China out
of her preseet financial depths and
back into credit"
The Dawes plan" aspect, as seen
here. is conditional upon what rep
resentatives China invites the vari-
Gus governments to send. IT seems
to be generally assumed. however.
that DR.. Wang will invite business
men," the minister feeling that to
invoke officialdom would be merely
to invoke precedents like the nine
power treaty.
The stated phase brings to light
that 10 of the leading American COR
porations operating in China about
CT
association for the purpose of safe
guarding their activities across the
Pacific.
The American material creditors
committee Of the Chinese govern
ment is the official title.
This creditors committee, ii is
learned, in the past ten days sent a
communication to Secretary of State
Hughes. The letter expressed their
unanimous opinion that any increase
in Chinese customs should be for the
purpose Of taking up overdue for
eign obligations of the Chinese gov
eminent rather than for authorize
tion of new projects and construc-
ton. Belief was expressed that this
would be the only way TO re-estab-
lisl China's credit, and pave the way
for its healthy economic develop
ment.
It was also felt that the japanese
and perhaps some others would
agree to sealing down of their fin
ancial claims upon China il they saw
a possibility OF payment. On the 9TH
er hand. It was pointed out. should
any new funds be made applicable
to new construction at this time it
would result only in waste and the
setting up Of new economic spheres
of influence" This was held to be not
only contrary to what American
business men believed was best for
China but best for their own just
interests.

World Musicians
Welcomed to Berlin

Berlin, Oct. 30 CA. =. by MaiD-
Berlin has apparently regained its
position as the premier music center
in Europe. Artists of all national
tiles are floclsing here to give con-
certs and fill engagements as visit
ing artists ir the four grand opera
houses which play nightly to
capacity houses. Chaliapin, the Rus
sian baritone; Julia Culp. the
Dutch concert singer: Ossip Gabril-
owitch, plarist and director Of the
Detroit symphony Orchestra. and
half q dozen other foreign artists
| have already given concerts. and
scores of others are advertised to
appear in tie near future
There Is little talk today OF Ger
man artists seeking American en-
sagements, as there are apparently
abundant opportunities in Germany
for musicians Of all sorts.
Mascagnfs opera season in Berlin
turned out badly because he at
tempted to produce Aida" in an ex-
position hall which was SO large that
even the persons in the front rows
could not hear the singers and the
public refused to attend.
Italy and Germany have appar-
ertly renewed their old battle for
supremacy In the musical world, and
there has been much politics in the
Aiascagni failure. The German
foreign Office and the Italian em-
bassy did everything possible to
salvage the Mascagni engagement.
but It was badly financed By
RUmanian hackers who had in
sufficient funds to meet the deficit.
Even the local Italian colony failed
TO patronize the enterprise after the
reports were widely circulated con-
| corning the unsatisfactory acoustics
Of the building.
London is making a bid for the
Mascagni production of Aida" and
i Will probably be given there in the
Crystal Palace. Mascagni is ar
ranging TO give his "CayaIleria
Rusticana" and "Bazzazi" here in a
smaller house. and will have the as
sistance of Maria Gay, Zsnatello and
other Italian artists who participated
In the unfortunate Aida" expert
ment.
Many Of the German musicians
and singers are unfriendly to modern
Italian music. and heated arguments
are waged in the press az to the
relative merits of the modern music
OF Germany and Italy. The operas
continue. however. to play the Puc-
ctni music and the German pubic
shows decided fondness for the
: tuneful music Of the modern Italian

GENEVIVE REfi'HNS FROM
 ~-- TRIP TO HOLY CROSS

The Tug Genevive, belonging to the Nome Lighterage and Commer- cial Company, which left here for Holy Cross on September Sth. car up-river points, returned to Nome last Sunday morning at 10 o'clock after a delightful trip except for t little of the usual rough wea- ther. On the outbound trip the party found it necessary to put into Golovin for short time on account of heavy weather,
 The party reached Holy Cross Saturday morning September 13.. and after unloading the passen- gers, left immediately and came hack down the rieer to the hunt ing grounds. The party, after leaving Holy Cross consisted of H c. Gabrielson, Purser. E. K. Jo- hansen, chief engineer and navi- gator, Chas Strand, mechanician, and Gus TIolmberg. chief steward, commissary and super cargo.
 They picked up a lot of fresh eatables at Holy Cross consisting a. cabbage. cucumbers. tomatoes. radishes, turnips. rutabagas and gil sorts of green stuff.
 The party bagged good catch of game plenty of ducks and geese, and the friends of the hunt CTS were well supplied with game upon the arrival of the Genevive in Nome on the return trip.
 They say that the new road from kaltag to Unalakleet is badly need cd. and when completed will be wonderful aid to travel in this sec tion. The portage. which is now being surveyed by the Territory under an appropriation by the last session of the Territorial Legisla- ture. will he about 90 miles in length and would save over three hundred miles of hard travel on the river and salt water The trip tC Holy Cross. which now requires about five days. could be made over the portage easily in two days. These gentlemen recom- rlend that the people of the Sec oId Division get behind the move rent for the tramway across the portage and boost until it is put into operation
 The Genevive made the trip from here to Holy Cross in four days actual travel time.

MAIL SERVICE ON RIVER
 VERY INSATISFACTOR

Captain E. K. Johansen. the skip Ter of the Tug Genevive. believes t"at the people of Nome should do something about the mail service on the Yukon river. The service. nct only according to Mir. Johan- sen, but acording to evernone ming from the river route. is very bad, with no indications of any immediate improvement, The mail from up the river arrived at Holy Cross on Tuesday September 1fth. and should have arrived in Nome on the 18th and it is not vet out of Holy Cross and will rot leave there for some days
 Andy Anderson and the party of ship-wrecked sailors from the two wrecked boats to the northward. he Arctic and the Lady Kinders- ley. were compelled to stay in St Michael 10 days and got to Holy Cross just in time to miss the Gen e"al Jacobs and were obliged to remain another 10 days at Holy Cross Captain Johansen earnest F. recommends movement to i'm prove the service on the lower river.
