LONDON. December Silt is hard
to realize the financial condition In
America during these holidays. as so
many Americans here are entertaining
more lavishly than ever. Their Christ
mas dinners were elaborate festivities,
which many English guests deserted
their own holiday celebrations to at
tend. Thus the flags of both nations
mingled as table decorations and Anleri-
cans and English united over plum pud-
ding and toasted the king and the Presi-
dent with impartial enthusiasm.

Hayashi yesterday and fully explain
ed conditions in that city relative TO
the Japanese. He pointed out that

Minister Hayashi replied that at
present it was advisable to limit emf.

thing will be done to protect Japan

to America to investigate the subject,
definite STEPS may be taken to find an

A Swiss scientist, who has complet.

found traces of radium that suggest
larger deposits than any hitherto

posits caused the abnormal heat ex.
perienced in building the tunnel. This
goes to support the theory that pos
sibly the presence of radium in vast

biggest and most successful conven-

body was organized with five mem

leave the first of the year to accept a
