EIGHT DEMANDS REJECTED Masses of People ITare Scant Con cern With Strife That Has Been jsisrnpiing 1 ne tounir. SHANGHAI. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) A definite trove, to brlna; about peace between the northern and southern factions in China was made in Aucust. when the Pekin foternmtnt appointed Wans; Tl-tana. a former minister of finance, ot head a northern peace deification to take tip astain with the southern representatiTes the negotiations that were broken off last s prime. At that ttmethe north rejected eight demands made by the south and so brought to an end the Shanrhal peace conference. The eiKht demands of the Canton government comprised the following: Abrogate all secret treaties with Japan. f'unish the officials who negotiated the secret Japanese treaties. Dismiss military and civil govern ors of provinces wbo had violated certain laws. iMsband the northern defense anr.y. Rescind the mandate of 117. by which the old parliament thebody that removed to Canton and there set up the southern government was de clared to be dismissed. Recognise President Hsu Shih cbang only as provisional president. What, if any. modifications the Canton government has expressed a willingness to make in Ita demands have not been clearly defined. Late in August it was learned that private negotiations to withdraw troops had been inprogress between military leaders of the north .and south who apparently sought to hold a peace conference of their own at Nank'ng. Since the Pekin govern ment haa appointed a new peace dele gate, the opinion has been advanced that this military conference may not be held. The great masses of people In China have scant concern with the strife which has been disrupting the country. Whatever division might have ex isted between the masses of people In the north and the south, was swept away by announcement from Paris that the citv of Tilnrtao and the rights formerly held by the Germans in the province of Shantung had been awarded to the Japanese. The whole country, north and south, saw that no action to avert the consequences of the Shantung decision could be taken with China divided against itself and this wave of popular sentiment grew Into an Important factor for the res toration of interna peace. the hearts of the audience via tb personality of Henry.

Organiza tion of state and national parks in Humboldt county, California, to con serve redwoods, the finest trees in the world, is the object of a strong campaign being carried forward by the "Save the Redwoods league." Mil lions of years ago redwood trees cov ered all of Europe. Asia and . North America. In tUis geologic age they are restricted to California and a fringe of southern Oregon. To preserve these magnificent trees for posterity, to see to it that they are not' destroyed by fire and lumbermen's axe. the "Save the Red woods league" have cqme into exist ence. Secretary or the Interior Franklin K. Lane is its president. tfnd among its officers and sponsors are Congressman William Kent, Di rector of National Parks Stephen T. Mather. President R. L. Wilbur of Stanford university and William E. Colby, president of the Sierra club. Actively in charge of its campaign is Professor John C. II err lam of the University of California, chairman of the leagues executive committee. There are two kinds of redwood he sequoia glgantea. largest tree In he world, which grows in the high Sierras, and its cousin, the sequoia sempervlrens. only slightly smaller. which is found along the California coast. The trees called redwood are imply younger sequoia sempervlrens, hlch, allowed to grow three or tour housand years, .would become 100 feet in circumference, and contain nough lumber to build a village. To finance its plan of saving these redwoods the league is seeking mem- ers throughout the United States, he privelege of membership costing Many wealthy men nave promisea iberal subscriptions, and Professor errlam said lumbermen were aiding he league in a liberal and co-opera- ve spirit. Efforts are at present being con centrated upon some liO.000 acres of giant redwood along the south rorit of the Eel river and near Dyerville, Humboldt county, at the northern boundary of California. Already lumbering has attacked this stand of virgin timber, so that quick action is necessary. The state highway to Eureka runs through the middle of the grove, and it is hoped a state park can be created along this road, with a national park t oeach side beyond. For the preservation of the timber along the highway $60,000 already has been subscribed $30,000 by the supervisors of Humboldt county and $15,000 each by William Kent and Stephen T. Mather. The number of trees saved for the proposed parks will depend upon the amount of money obtained and upon action by the state and national governments. Addressing a Sierra club gathering recently its president, Mr. Colby, said : "To allow this wonderful stand of redwood, the finest trees in the world, to be destroyed would be noth ing less than a sacrilege and a crime. They are the tallest trees anywhere. The late John Muir. the famous nat uralist, made a special voyage to Australia to verify this. He found the eucalyptus grew to 820 feet, but our own California redwood topped 350 feet."

Government Endeavoring: to Relieve High Cost of Living: by Stabi lizing Rate of Exchange. SANTIAGO, Chile, Aug. 28. tCorre spondence of the Associated Press.) The Chilean government is endeavor ing to relieve the pressure of the high cost of living by stabilizing the rate of exchange. It has proposed the adoption of a gold standard and that Chilean currency should be made con veitible at sight. This would be at tended by the organization of a cen tral bank to act in the same way as the federal reserve bank of the United States. It is argued that thus would put the economical resources of the country on a steady financial basis and eliminate the private specula tion in gold which is felt to have much Influence on the present ex change rates. The rise of sterling exchange is at tributed in part to an adverse balance of trade against Chile in 1918 to the amount of about $7,000,000. This dif ference has to be paid in gold, conse quently the pese declines in value. Chileans have been affected by the increased cost of living like the rest of the world and there have been pub lic demonstrations, meetings of labor men and congressional debates on re strictions of exports of foodstuffs and upon providing work for the unem ployed. Nitrate, which is the main stay of Chilean industry, has been out of the market for several months owing to the slump in the demand resulting from the ending of the war and the scarcity of freight steamers. This threw thousands of workers out of employment. To meet this labor sit uation the government proposed measures providing for the expendi ture of several million dollars in con struction of highways and railways. petroleum properties and the lives of employes. The meeting was presided over by General Francisco Murguia, chief of military operations m tne re gion, and is said to have resulted in an amicable agreement calling for a prosecution of bandits.
