Hause, recently returned from four years In China, at the weekly luncheon at the Lincoln. "Soldiers are hired by the thousands, because it is practically the only way they can earn a little money.

BRITAIN FIRM IN STAND AGAINST ‘l2-MILE LIMIT’ Lord Curzon Sees No Trouble Over Booze Seizures on Liners at New York, Bu United Press LONDON, June 29.—The BritishAmerican dispute over enforcement of prohibition on the seas has been thrown into the field of open diplomacy after extensive secret negotiations. Lord Curzon, secretary of State for foreign affairs, announced in the House of Lords that "friendly discussion” with the United States over this question had been ig progress for about a year. Curzon, in response to an interrogation, stated ‘.‘there is no chance of our agreeing, under, any circumstances whatever, to the American proposal for a twelve-mile limit to replace the three mile limit.” America asked for this extension of the zone of territorial waters in crder to give more latitude for the chasing of rum ships. Curzon said a committee, considering the uqestion raised by seizure of liquor aboard British liners at New cYrk. He indicated belief that the American action In boarding .foreign ships and confiscating liquor was not a violation of international law, but constituted an infraction of the code of International practice or custom. tjndue importance should ‘not be attached to the breaking of British seals by American officials in order to get at the liquor, he said, since these seals have no standing outside British territorial waters.
