The burial will be at Knox’s summer home at Valley Forge, Penn. Knox was stricken with apoplexy at his home here last evening. The shock of Knox’s death came with even greater force as he had just returned from a vacation in England, and he told his associates that he felt much rested. | Senator Knox spent the day as |usual at the senate leaving the capitol about 5 o’clock with his secretary, W. S. Martin, for a short motor ride through the park. He then purchased tickets for the theater. Arriving home Knox went, as was his custom, to his study, and it was when descending the stairs in response to a summons to dinner he sustained the stroke that ended his life. g Knox’s career was among the most notable in recent American political history. He was 68 years of age. n that period he had twice been United States senator, twice a cabinet offi- cer and was more than once men- tioned for the presidency. ! Th esenate adjourned on convening and appointed a committee together with house members to have charge of the funeral. Knox was a native of Brownsville, Penn., and after ob- University of West Virginia and Alli- ance, Ohio, he began the study of law, commencing practice in Pitts- burgh in 1875.

M.

According to Mr. Everts, the peat Ibeds around Corona are very similar {to those in upper Beltrami county with the exeeption, however, that the | peat beds of Beltrami county would |need to be drained to a sufficient {depth to take the water off the peat, and this, according to him, is pos- sible. The report in de Mr. Everts, follows “The peat beds are located on each side of the tracks at Corona and con- {sist of about 200 acres of land with a depth of about 25 feet of peat soil, this being similar to about 7H per cent of the peat lands in the north- ern Beltrami county. “There were four peat machines |on the job, but only two were worl tail, as given by machine was preparing a ditch and taking off the top, which cohsists o the greey oss and undecayed peat.

MEET CRISIS IN ANGLO-JAPANESE RELATIONS Decision Reached Suddenly When Canada Created Deadlock at London—Coming Conference Now Being Watched With The situation in which the two greatest nations of the world—the United States and Great Britain— found themselves last July, can bg summed up briefly as follows: These two leading powers, bound by natural ties of race, color and speech, were at the cross-roads. It was obvious that the plans of the far- away empire of Japan were running counter to the principles and policies of the United Stutes in the Pacific and the Far East. Was Great Britain, for reasons of political and commer- cial expediency, to continue this situs ation, and, undoubtedly thereby, ag- gravate it by pledging herself again in alliance with Japan, and so al- ligning herself indirectly against the United States in this dangerous situs ation? So, the crux of the situation which has resulted in the forthcoming Wash« ington conference, narrowed down from the broad description of “the Pacific and Far East,” was Japan. The imperial conference of British Dominion Premicrs was meeting in London with the heads of the home government the latter part of June and in the early days of last July. And while there was never any pub- lic, confidential, direct or indirect ministatement to this effect by any administration spokesman, every well- informed newspaper correspondent in Washington knew that the United States government was utterly op- posed to a renewal of the Anglo- Jap- anese plliance, the principal question (Contintied on Page 7)
