ami French troops have established a
neutral zone to prevent hostilities be
tween them.
Serbia' Claims L'Dopposed.
Serbia's claims to take from th j
Hapsburg monarchy the provinces of
Bosnia and Herzgovinia are opposed by
no one in the entente group. The plans
for the incorporation into Jugo-Slavia
of the Hapsburg province of Croatia ex- j
cept as to the costal region of Fiume, I
are also considered as subject to inter-j
rial decision of the southern Slavs.
Jugo-Slav and Italian aims are in
sharp conflict in the settlement of the
Adriatic coast problem, involving the
future of Fiume and the Croatian sea
board along w ith the islands of Dalma
lia and Albania. The union of Monte
negro and Serbia as part of a great
Jugo-Slav state has been voted by the
Montenegran parliament, but the fac
tion representing King Nicholas and his
adherents protest against a union
which shall not leave to Montenegro en
tire local self-government. There also
is a conflict between the plans of Jugo
slav statesmen and those of the
Jzecho-Slovakia, who desire a wide
corridor from Bohemia to the Adiatic
lor Hungary and Crotia to secure an
outlet to the seas.
Greece Wants Part of Thrace.
Greece wishes Northern Epirus and
Thrace, with the exception of Constan
tinople and the shores of the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles, which Premier
Venizelos wishes to place under inter
national control. Greece asks for the
vilayet of Smyrna in Asia Minor and
the former Turkish islands in the East
ern Mediterranean, including those
known as the Dodecanesus and claimed
uy Italy.
Although Bulgaria capitulated with
out conditions and her future terri
tories depend upon the conquerors, her
government has not abandoned hope of
adding to its territories, and it even
hopes to receive extensions from the
Hulgarinn frontiers in Southern Mace
donia along the Aegean coast and in
Thrace.
Caccho-Slovnkta Tin Conflicts.
The new state. Csecho-Slovakia, is
, carving out its territories almost en
tirely at the expense of old' Austria
Hungary. The old kingdom of Bohemia,
Moravia and the Slovak regions of
Northern Hungary already have been
incorporated into the proposed state,
but there are certain conflicts with
the Poles, Tlutheniaiie, Roumanians and
Germans, as well as with the Austrlana
and the Magyars, because the Czechs
claim that parts of German Saxony and
German Silesia belong cthnographieally
to the new slate.
-The Czecho-Slovaks are coming into
opposition to Polish claims in Silesia
and sections of ialicia, while to the
northeast Czecho-Slovak "expansion lias
brought them into contact with the
Kuthenians or Ukrainians, in Kastern
Gancla. The hew state desires exnan
sion southward over a frontage on the
Danube and over a corridor to the
Adriatic.
Tolcs Contend for Territory.
i ne. I'oies with, an inadequate army
pro nrjeavoring to establish possession
"f disputed regions on three sides of
Kustlan Poland and Galicia, which con
stitutes the nucleus of the new Polish
state. The Poles desire Eastern Ga
li' ia to include Lrmbiirs, which is in
the Ukraine, and the disputed province
or Cholin, in Little Russia.
To the northeast the Poles desire to
have A'ilma, recognized as Tolish. Both
the Lithuanians and the Bolsheviki
have laid claims to Vilna, the Bolshe
aim supporting tueir pretentions by a
menacing military offensive. The Poles
are contending against the Germans
not only for German iSilesia and Posen
anrl West Prussia, as provinces popu
lated chiefly by Poles, but also for the
city of Dansig, so as to provide Poland
with direct access to the seas.
Should the Poles have Danzig, East
Prussia would be cut off from the rest
of Germany and would remain an
"island" populated by Germans sur
rounded -by Polish dominions.
Belgium Demands First Lien.
Belgium asks that her reparation for
clamages wrought by Germany shall
be the first lien upon German assets
10 the extent of at least 15.000,000,000
francs or up to a much larger turn if
German does not return the machinery
and the materials taken from Belgium.
Belgium believes that sha should be
paid first, because she was the first to
bo invaded, because her neutrality was
violated and because she has suffered
more from despoliation than any other
country in the war.
Belgium, having reasserted her in
dependence and thus emerged from her
old state of neutrality,, desires from
Holland the left bank of the Scheldt
and the peninsula of Maastricht, which
protrudes Into Belgian Ltmburg. Bel
Hum also wlil assent to a plebiscite in
Luxembourg to decide whether that
country wishes to join - Belgium .or
France or to retain its autonomy.
The foregoing may be considered the
extreme claims of Belgium. They come
into conflict with Holland, which re
sists any infringements of the fron
' tiers asked for by the Belgian annex
. ationlsts. The government of Holland
appears willing to revise the Scheldt
. navigation treaty eo that Belgium
. should enjoy equal rights with Hoi
land.
Japan Appears Modest.
Japan enters the peace conference, as
, Baron Makino, the senior delegate, has
said, "with no territorial ambitions in
1 China." and that as for Taing Tau,
"she will hand it back to China under
the terms of the notes exchanged be
tween China and Japan in Mayc, 1915
his is interpreted by Japan as per
initting her to retain former German
concessions on the Shan Tung Pen
insula. Japan, Baron Makino explains,
"neither intends nor desires to Inter-1
v fere in Russian affairs, but Is willing,
if solicited, to aid Russia in restoring
order.''
These declarations dispose of two of
the main questions in which Japan Is
interested, except that she desires to
retain the Southern Pacific Islands
north of the equator which formerly
belonged to Germany.
The Chinese delegates ask. t he
guaranteed against foreign imperial
ism or aggression and desire the
fjradu-al abolition of "consular rights'
and to be allowed to Impose higher
'duties on Importations, The Chinese
Blso ask for the return of Klau Chau.
i Snlm Seek Ontlet to Sea,
Switzerland appears to be tha only
'neutral state which has bo far presented
'her desires to the peace conference.
The Swiss government has represented
"that while Swlt zerland would be glad
to participate Jn A nociety of nations,
j et because of her mixed nationalities

she could not do so if that should mean
the vise of her troops in policing the
world by force, as, perhaps, against
Italy. France or Germany.
Switzerland desires an outlet to the
sea by making the Khtne a neutral
stream. This is in accord with French
desires, since if Alsace-Uorraine be
comes French from Basle northward
and independent buffer states should
be erected out of the Palatinate and
Rhenish Prussia, as suggested by
Marshal Foch. it would be necessary to
neutralize the Rhinf. If this were done
It would give Switzerland an outlet to
the sea.
9i!andinRti,i Not Aajicrrcsslvr.
The territorial aspirations of the
three Scandinavian- nations are consid
ered modest. Denmark wishes to annex
that part of northern bcnieswig inhab
ited prodomlnently by Danes, but has
not asked to regain the provinces of
Frhleswig and Holstein. taken from
Denmark by Prussia i nthe war of
1864. or to extend her frontiers south
ward to the Kiel canal.
Norway has certain aspirations to
Spitzenbergen. of a part of it. but is
not pressing these claims energetically.
A strong Socialist movement in
Sweden favors the union with Sweden
of the Aland islands, which are re
garded by the Swedes as the naval key
to Stockholm. Swedish Interests in
thi3 connection are in conflict with
those of Finland. Sovereignty over the
islands has belonged to Finland since
the fall cf the Russian imperial gov
ernment. Nothing has been heard since the col
lapse of- Germany of earlier Finnisli
plans to secure an outlet by the an
nexation of, parts of Russian T'arella,
lying between Finland and the Murman
coast, and even of adjacent Finmark,
which belongs to Norway. This con
tention on tho part of Finland led to
the landing of allied troops at Mur
mansk to prevent the establishment of
a. German submarine base in the North
ern seas.
The delegates of the five powers who
will straighten out this plexus of rival
interests are obliged also to take Into
consideration tho passionate racial
claims, as well as the history of all
Europe for centuries.
ROUMANIANS RIGHTS DISCUSSED
Council- of Orcat Power Considers
Territorial Intercuts.
PARIS. Feb. 2. (By the Associated
Press.) The council of the great pow
ers gave most of the session Saturday
to hearing M. Bratiano and M. Mischu
concerning Roumania'a territorial In
terests, and gave its final approval to
the instructions to the commission
about to start for Poland to investi
gate the entire political, economic and
military situation.
The somewhat warlike situation In
the Teschen region between the Poles
and the Czecho-Slovaks has been pro
visionally adjusted by an agreement
between the delegates of these coun
tries, vftilch the council approved.

LONDON, Feb. 2. (Special Cable.)
The cut in shipping rC--s has not elec
trified many Amcricaj business men
here because from Mar;h 1 new import
prohibition regulations will mean ex
clusion of large quantities of Amer
ican good3. After tha armistice, tem
porary general liccriK.es were issued for
the import of a considerable variety of
American products. There was. how
ever, much protest from numerous
British manufacturers with the result
that these licenses will be void after
March 1.
The American Chamber of Commerce
has been considering the situation with
the British authorities. In nome in
stances American business firms here
are in danger of closing down unless
there is an amelioration of the prohi
bitions. Among the things on which licenses
are to be withdrawn are machine tools
and machinery driven by power, sew
ing machines, stoves, soap, weighing
machines. vacuum cleaners, perfu
mery and toilet preparations.
RABBIT CANNERY PROPOSED
BREEDERS OCTLIXE PLANS TO
"FURTHER INDUSTRY.
Headquarters of Association Will Be
Located In Portland, 'With Den
nis ITulton at rtead.
A few months hence housewives of
the country may be dinning up in all
sorts of delectable ways rabbit meat
canoed in Portland. The canning of
large numbers of Belgian hares is one
of the proposals of a newly formed
organization of rabbit growers, known
as the Oregon - Washington Rabbit
Breeders" Association. Portland is the
home and headquarters of the new
association, but it plans to extend Its
membership and operations over West
ern Oregon and Washington.
Dennis Hulton has been selected as
president of tha new association.
Robert C. Benn is vice-president and
T. U. Cochrane is secretary-treasurer.
When the membership is further ex
tended permanent officers will be
named and the association will be In
corporated, if present plans are car
ried through.
If Incorporation Is effected, said Mr.
Cochrane yesterday. It will mean the
establishment of & cannery. One of
the problems of the rablt grower la
that of selling his stock when it
reaches the age of six or seven months.
If obliged to carry his animals much
longer than this without a market his
profit wanes. In addition, however, to
furnishing a market for surplus stock
tha cannery would provide the stimulus
for tho growing of more Belgian hares
In Oregon and Washington, Secretary
Cochrane explained. The csnnery would
handle between 100A and S009 rabbits
a month to begin with,
