as II has brought the greater part
OF. China under its control, according
to the Interpretation placed here to
day on Secretary Of State Kellogg's
statement OF American policy toward
China.
Negotiations Proposed
Secretary Kellogg's announced vii

pecially significant.
Advance Welcome
Added hope Of recognition for the
Cantonese is seen In the section
which declares that athe2 United
States has watched with sympathetic
interest the nationalistic awakening
Of China and welcomes every ,ad.
vance made by the Chinese people
toward recognizing their system OF
government"
Tariff Control
Aside from these illusions to the
recently changed political situation,
the memorandum concerns itself
with restatement Of this Govern.
ment's desire for a unified, indie.
pendent and prosperous Chinese ma.
ton and its willingness to release az
early az possible the tariff control
and extraterritorialIty provided by
treaties.
The United States cannot, how.
ever, abrogate these treaties. the
statement makes plain, but thew
must be superseded by new treaties
negotiated with somebody represent.
ing China and subsequently ratified
by the Senate Of the United States. -
No Rights Released
This Government Is not partic.
ular, the memorandum suggests
as to whether it enters into neSo-
tiations with the Chinese alone or
in concert with the other powers
as England has requested.
Despite its readiness to discuss
new treaties, the United States
will not Internationally relinquish
its extraterritorial rights. Such a
step viii not be taken until "China
is prepared to provide protection
by law and through her courts
to American citizens, their rights
and property"
British View
The statement, it was explained,
was not intended as q direct re.
ply. to either the British Tnemora n.
dunn OF December Is or to the
manifesto issued last week by, Eu.
gene Chen, Cantonese foreign min.
lister.
The British statement suggested
that cooperation between the pow.
ers would be the only effective
means OF dealing with the Chinese
problem. Kellogg ignored the Brit
ish suggestion.

United States IL not confronted with
the problem Of having concessions to

The British government especially

Kellogg that foreign lives In China

 Members of the Mattabessett Gun club held a clambake and social at their clubhouse in Kensington Satur- day afternoon. A large attendance was present despite the indictment weather.
 Cemetery Appeal | Residents who have relatives buried in the old Beckley cemetery have lodged another appeal for at- tention by town officials in a request that the burying grounds, which is the oldest in town, may be given the necessary care to be kept in good shape. They report that the grass l has grown high about the graves and bushes and weeds have made the old cemetery an unattractive spot, they claim. The cemetery has i received considerable notice since Decoration day when Superintendent of Schools Miss Mary E. Griswold called the place deplorably un- kempt and asked town aid for the caring of the graves there. At that time students of the Selden school cut the high grass and weeded the plot to certain extent in order te hold their annual Decoration Day exercises there. Residents of that section claim that the cemetery has received no attention since tha, date and ask that an appropriation be granted for the perpetual care oi the old burying ground.

VANDALS RANSACk
 RAILROAD STATION
East Berlin Depot Entered and
 Interior Wrecked
BURGLARS ARE SUSPECTED
Two Youths Thought Connected With Local Burglaries Apprehend- cd in New Jersey-Berlin Undcr- pass Provides Income for Boys.

Continuing their depredations burglars broke into the East Berlin railroad station last evening and, failing to find much money, ran- sacked the place. Only 8 in pen nies rewarded the burglars and evidently enraged by the lack of money, the vandals satisfied them selves in wrecking the interior of the small place. The ticket case was ripped open and tickets were strewn about as well as office records and other papers. Not a single piece of office equipment escaped their van dalism. A stock of candy was un- touched although it was in posi- tion to be taken.
 The break was discovered this morning by Station Agent Robert Stevenson when he opened the of- flee. He got in touch with the New Haven office of the railroad and a check-up on the loss will be made today. The amount of loss could not be determined. he stated, until the ruined tickets were checked up The thieves evidently had tried to Jimmy" the doors and windows on the railroad side of the building but had been baked in their efforts They then proceeded to jimmy the west side window which did not have a screen to protect it as the others had. This is not the first time the station has been entered as several times previously the gum machines had been wrecked and all of the money in them taken. Even the telephone pay station has been a target of former breaks.
 Only few days have passed since the burglary at the East Berlin Mill ing Co. store and the loss of s400 worth of stock and cash. Local po- lice are Investigating the burglary but have little to base their investi- gations upon, the robbers leaving few clues as to their identity.
 Youths Apprehtnded
 Word has been received by local police of the apprehension of two boys who were taken into custody by New Jersey police Saturday and who are being held in connection with the several breaks which have taken place in this community. Austin Camina, 15, of Hartford. and Joseph Camalsky IS, of Wethersheld, are being held pending extradition pa pers which will bring them to trial in this state. Both are escaped in- mates of the Connecticut School for Boys at Meriden and when found had in their possession several arti. cles which correspond in description to articles stolen from Kensingtor homes last week.
 It is thought that the arrest ol the boys will clear up the myster. of the convict shirts which were found in the woods near the resid. ence of F. P. Durham of kensing, ton. A diamond ring> stolen from g kensington home. was found on ont of the youths. Officer Frank Browr led the local delegation which in. vestigated the breaks.
