A resolution de claring for relinquishment of foreign postoffice privileges In China, was adopted by the nine powers sitting as a committee on Pacific and Far East ern questions. The date of January 1, 1923, was set for the abandonment of foreign post offices, and this was agreed to by all the powers represented except Japan, whose representatives asked for time to hear from their government. Chinese representatives at Monday's meeting brought up the domestic con trol of Chinese railways. The Chinese railway question, ac cording to Chinese representatives, would necessarily involve the matter of Shantung, which is regarded as one of the big problems with which the Washington conference may have to deal, so far as Far Eastern affairs are concerned. Published reports alleging use of harsh words by Premier Brland of France while In Washington against Senator Schanzer, head of the Italian armament conference delegation, were formally denied In a statement made by Chairman Hughes at a meeting ot the conference committee on Far East ern and Pacific questions. The reports which have led to much comment in Europe find to demonstra tions against the French In Italy were said by Mr. Hughes to be absolutely without foundation. He also was un derstood to have declared that the re lations between the French and Italian delegations within the conferenoe had been most friendly. MIIIUI HIM MHTKi' - .''

ANNUAL ARMAMENT MEETINGS SUGGESTED President Harding's Idea Gen erally Approved of By Arm-, anient Delegates. Washington, D. C. A continuing series of international conferences, the fruition of which may be an "associa tion of nations," has been suggested Informally -by President Harding to some of the arms delegates and has met with their general approval. The suggest lou has by no moans reached the point of a definite proposal for such an association, but It was reveal ed that the president's personal con versations with foreign spokesmen on the subject had greatly increased his hope for a new day in International relationship as a result of the Wash ington conference. It was indicated further that as a first step toward world wide recogni tion for the conference plan the result of the negotiations here might be sub mitted for approval not only to the participating nations, but to those not represented here. Including Germany and Russia So far as the suggestions of Mr. Hardiag have been mad known they contemplate a meeting of nations about the council table once a year to thresh out troublesome questions and devise means for the preservation of peace. It is said to be the hope of the presi dent that in the end all the smaller governments will join with the great powers in whatever discussions may concern them or the world situation generally. Happy and Prosperous Year Your little paper will soon be a year old. Started at the beginning of the slump, under adverse cir cumstances, the Mirror has enjoyed some prosperi ty, nevertheless, and the solution of the small town paper has been solved. Boardman is not large enough to support a printing plant and publish a paper of her own, but under the present arrangement she is getting a bigger and better paper than many other towns of three times the size. The publisher knows you have your own little set backs and "getting by" is the chief interest in life just now. But when things go "fluey" with the farmer, the printer has hard sledding too. So, to co-operate with you and share the loss, we are going to offer the Mirror at a reduced price for a few weeks. Most of you are in arrears to some extent, but it is because money is scarce. But money is just as scarce with us as it is with you. To all who will pay their subscriptions in advance Tor one year between now and February 1, 1922, we will make a rat of $1.50 Per Year We have never asked you to pay the second install ment of your subscription, fully appreciating the condition of the rancher these days, but by meeting you half way, may we not expect renewals from all of you and new subscriptions from the few who do not take the paper.
