RUSSIAN DEMANDS
 ARE MET BY CHINA
Peaceful Settlement Of ManChu- rian Problem Seems Assured

Moscow Aug. 31 (UP)-China has met the demand of the soviet union for an immediate restoration Of the Chinese Eastern Railway to a status quo ante as preliminary condition for a conference for a peaceful settlement of the Man churian dispute, it was announced here today
 In keeping with China's concilia- tory move the soviet government will reappoint q Russian manager for the disputed road and instruct all soviet cmployes who have ce&sed work on the Chinese Eastern to re- turn to their posts
 Thus an amicabIc settlement of the dispute which for a time threatened to inhame the Ear East seemed assured. The negotiations probably will begin at an early date.
 The now development was brought about through an exchange of views through the German goy- ernment. which has been acting as agent for both China and Russia since they broke off diplomatic re- lationships
 Nankiug Gives IL
 Ranking. after weeks Of private negotiation, finally has agreed to the Russian demand that the rail- road be restored to its status, prior to it's seizure by the Chinese gov ernment. before the soyiets would be willing to settle the dispute by conference.
 Significantly, China has agreed to a conference with an eye to the provision in the 1924 Mukden agreement enabling China to pur- chase the road at a future date.
 On August 27, it was announced, the Chinese mission at Berlin transmitted the text Of the pro- posed joint declaration that both China and Russia had agreed to conference, that Moscow will free all persons arrested in connection with the current dispute and that Moscow will agree 10 instruct all soviet railway employees in Man churia not to engage in communist propa ganda.
 The following day the soviet rep resentatives told the German nc gotiators that the document was acceptable, with the following changes:
 CD The soviets instead of ap- pointing new managers and assist ants will reappoint the old ones, unless China removes the Chinese director who started the trouble.
 CD China must instruct all authorities to obey the terms of the treaty.

More than 5000 persons in

homeless today and at least $4,000
acres Of rich farming lands were in
undated as a result of a break in the
Laconia circle levee and high water
around the main Mississippi river
levee at Knowlton's landing.
High water from the White river
yesterday forced a gap in the levee
more than 200 feet wide. Residents
afr receiving warnings by telephone
and farm bells gathered part of
their belongings and hurried to
safety. No loss of life was reported.
All livestock was saved.
The onruShing waters today had
inundated Snowflake, water in some
places being nearly Is feet deep. The
Laconia circle section, a low lying
area, at one time was believed to
have been a lake. There IS no levee
protection for the White river, and
the region around it had been under
water for several weeks.
The refugees have been housed In
box cars and on a string OF flat cars
belonging to the Missouri Pacific
railroad. For several days the rail-
road has kept a train near Snowflake
for such an emergency.

EXPERTS ISSUE
COMMUNIQUE
Statement Tells Of Failure of
Committees to Reach
Agreement

PARIS, April 23.-P)-Repara-
tons experts Of seven nations in an
official communique issued today
announced their failure to reach an
agreement on a settlement of what
Germany owes to the allies.
A committee composed Of the
chiefs Of the various national dele
cations has been appointed to draft
a report surveying the work which
has been done and notifying the
governments Of failure to reach an
accord.
The door was not closed to further
negotiations.
The communique said that while
the subcommittee was drafting the
report to the various governments
other members Of the delegations
would work to see if agreement
could not finally be reached where
they had failed before. Observers
regarded this as the slimmest Of
hopes.
The subcommittee began its work
Immediately after adjournment Of
the plenary session. 1t was said its
intention was to push the work
along and finish it as soon as pos
sible.

AGREEMENT ON
ARMS Is NEAR
Hugh Gibson's Proposal Be.
lieyed to Have Paved
Way to Settlement

GENEVA, April 23.-(P-In the
light of their unquestioned back
ground of compromise there was
growing belief at Geneva today that
American disarmament proposals
preached by Ambassador Hugh l..
Gibson might have been made pos
Sible a disarmament agreement be-
tween the worlds principal nations.
The project continued to absorb
delegates to the preparatory COM
mission of the league of nations
seeking a possible basis for a flu
ture international disarmament con-
ference. The proposals were believed
to embory results of long study by
American naval experts.
Some observers likened the prof.
ect to proposals of Elihu Root which
are believed to have paved the way
for American adherence to the world
court. American objections to GER
tain forms Of advisory opinions were
removed with tentative agreement to
handle each case on its own merits.
So does the Washington warship
formula involve handling each spe-
cific warship on its unit character
iSticS.
Various factors besides tonnage
enter into the formula and any one
Of them may bring a variation on
the indeXing according to tonnage,
thus, for instance, it would not
necessarily hold that a 6,O00-ton
cruiser would be so per cent as EFF
ficient" as a 10,O0O-ton cruiser. Diff
erences in age, gun elevation, etc.,
probably would give it a rating of
nearer 5000 tons.
The relative value Of such char
acteritsics as age, displacement of
the vessel and gun calibre will have
to be determined as yet by agree
ment among experts of the powers,
although American delegates have
already worked out what is believed
may be a fair index of proportion.
Their tables may easily become the
basis for a hypothetical considera-
ton Of the project.
