Heads of the del egations of the nine powers partici pating in discussion or Far Kastern (tucstions at a meeting today decided to proceed first with the cojisldern- '.

Ji In fact, In sonio quarters, it is felt 'f that with an independent armaments "d agreement, an accomplished fact, and with the powers even tacitly agreed as to the broadest principles to be pursued In the Pacific and the Ori ent, further treaties or specific un- derstandngs as to the detals of the i,S ar hastern stuatlon may bo render- it ed unnecessary WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. (I!y As sociated Press.) Preliminary Tocou nolteiing gave way to more direct ne gotiation today in the endeavors of I ho armament conference to find a solution for the problems of the Far East. Sitting as a special committee on the Far Eastern situation, the heads of the nine delegations went into con ference to outline the respective pol icies by which each would be guided and to work out a plan of procedure that will give each of these policies a fair show. The ten points presented yesterday by China with the general hacking of the I'nited States formed the basis of today's exchanges which were de signed to develop step by step the exact attitude of the nine delegations. No one expected this process to go very far at today's meeting, although the discussion of a program was con sidered certain to draw out the opin ions of the powers as to tho relative importance of tho topics before them. The opinion of the American delega tion which appeared to have consider able support among the representa tives of other countries wns that the Far East negotiations need not be complicated by committees. The American delegates take the position 'hat the Far Eastern questions are not technical subjects requiring the pro longed scrutiny of experts. They would lie glad to see the big nine or the full conference directly to work upon the problem. W ASHINGTON. Nov. 17 (Uy Asso ciated Press.)

Willing to Yield Territory When Protection Assured Indo-China Not Concerned Also Recognizes Rights of Japan at Issue. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. (Uy the Associated Press) The French atti tude in a general way toward the Far Eastern proposals of China was set forth after a two-hour conference of Premier Briand" and othermembers of the delegation today as follows: First France desires earnestly to aid China In realizing her aspirations territorial, political and commercial. Second France would give up Kouang Tcbeou, which she leased from China in IStiti, provided (treat Britain would give up Wei-Hel-Wel, and Japan Shantung, leased by the Germans at the same time, and the Port Arthur peninsula. Third France would not be un willing to surrender her extra-territorial orivileges were other powers 'willing to do the same. France gave up tiiese privileges In Japan In l'JOti and was in negotiation with Turkey to give them up there in lull when the war came. However, the French feel that extra territoriality should be maintained until it is clear that the Chinese republie run give ade quate security and justice to for eigners. Fourth The Japanese colony of Indo-China did not belong tn China, hut habitants does not come in ques tion, according to the French point of view. If, however, some question should be raised as to the rectifi cation of the 900-nille Chinese fron tier, the French government would be willing to discuss the boundary. Fifth France approaches the dis cussions of Far Eastern questions In sympathy with Japan's need for ex ..tiui.iti niwl for raw material. Tile French delegation desires under all eirrtinistanoes to take a . conciliatory ami paeine roie. Sixth France is for open, dealing of the powers with China and against any s4rct negotiations. The subject of spheres of inf. nonce beyond Indo-China does not seem to be a serious one because the policy of spines of influence was replaced moru than ten years ago by the policy of the consortium of powers.

Home 1SU0 delegates are attending the con ference. There was a growing foellng over night that the sensational develop ments predicted In some quarters including a eonsorvntivo secession led by Andrew Honar Law would not oc cur and that the government's policy would receive tho calm endorsement of the convention by a great majority. It is reported that Sir .lames Craig, the Ulster premier, has arrived in Liverpool to attend the conference. Premier Lloyd -George will not go to Liverpool having Journeyed to liourne moulh, a seaside resort, for a brief rest. LIVERPOOL. Nov. 17. (Ily Associ ated Press.) The unionist party's at titude toward tlie Irish settlement ne gotiations witli tho question of Ulster foremost, was foremost today with a conference of tho unionist party. Ixnd Derby who was elected presi dent, said that he did not disguise from himself the fact that it would re quire any tact and any intelligence that lie possessed to keep the conser vative party together. The main business before tho con ference was a resolution moved by Colonel John Gretton, member of par liament for Rutlandshire, calling upon the conference to "record its condem nation of the long continued ascen dancy of ciitue and rebellion In Ireland and resolve that no settlement of the Irish question is acceptable which does not respect absolutely the posi tion acquired by Ulster and provide every safeguard essential for imperial security and the protection of the loyalists In the west and south of Ire land." i U)rd Karnhain and General Prescott Decc presented the case against nego tiations witli tlx.

Three or four j days must elapse before the Ilritlsli committee which is considering the subject of naval armaments will he able to conclude its work. This com mittee, which is headed by Arthur .1. Half our, head of the Hrltlsh delega tion, and Includes all the l.ritish dele gates, is working hard' in daily ses sions with the assistance of a number of the Hritish naval experts upon the American proposal. Hegardlng the point that has been made In favor of the Aniorlcan plan that by favoring submarines, rather than expensive battleships, weaker nations may be placed on a piano of equality as such means of defense will bo within their financial re source. It Is explained In authorita tive quarters that the Hritish object decidedly to any plan that would telfd tii cheapen wars, and therohy render them more likely to occur. The. Hritish are represented as feel ing the conference Is not apt to ahol li h capital ships because they are ex pensive, but rather with the nobler purpose of avoiding war. A subma rine which may lie cheaper, they hold, v. HI not accomplish tho object in view. It was declared with signifi cant emphasis I hat this subject Is bound to loom huge In the discus sions not only of the conference hut In the press of the world. SPORTSMEN ATTENTION Here in southern Oregon, we are all more or less interested in tlie subject of game protection, and in the preservation of tho wild life of our streams and for ests. A mass convention has been called to meet at the American Legion hall, this evening, to dis cuss game protection, and related Bubjocts. Also, tho question of having one big county organiza tion, or continuing, as at present, with several small anil compara tively weak local associations, will be threshed out. Colonel George Kelley, member of the state game commission, and Captain' A. K. llurgduff, state game warden, will be here, and address the meeting. This will he no formal affair: everybody can have his say: every angler or hunter who has anything souring lu his system, can get it out, or have it knocked out. I hope to see this a real he-mun now wow. Kvery man In tlie Rogue River valley can consider himself especially invited. Wo want a big representative crowd of men to discuss these questions, and settle them right. IIKRT ANDKRSON. Member State Game Commission.
