TREAT BOTH NATIONS ALIKE
Japan Says China Allows Russia Free
Trade in Manchuria.
London, Aug 10, In a dispatch

Daily Telegraph says it Ih stated with
authority that Japan will only consent
to the establishment of a Chinese cub
torn house at Port Dalny to levy duties
on goods proceeding inland beyond the
Kwau Tung peninsula on condition
that a similar system be inaugurated at
the southrrn frontier railroad stations
in Northern Manchuria.
It is asrerted, the correspondent con
tinues, that at preeont merchandise is
pturiiig into Manchuria over the Siber
ian rr.ilioad, from both European Rus
sia and Vladivostok, without the pay
ment of duty. It can therefore be sold
very cheaply. Russia's policy, th
correspondent concludes, obviously 1b
to isolate Port Dalny and divert all the
trade to Vladivostok, in order to rob
Japan of the fruits of victory.

tho loyal Finnish women have drcssod
themselves in garments of flaming rod

ready to sacrifice lives and property to
deal blows at the military oppressors.
