hopes Of the American rubber indus
try, since he will continue direct with
the British government the negotia-

has been carrying on at Washington
for the last two months.
When the British government hrst
placed the embargo on shipments OF
crude rubber from British ports 70 the
limited States. il was regarded as OF
little importance by many, but others
took it more seriously. A joint meet
ing of rubber manufacturers and I'm.
porters representing the majority OF
the trade was held in New YORK early
in November. Il was recognized that
spasmodic individual efforts would be
Of little value in dealing with an m
ternational problem; therefore, JOINT

Of social standing, of the means and

SAYS ITALY NOW NEEDS
LARGE COPPER SUPPLIES
Ambassador Offers Explanation Of
Increased Shipment Since
Outbreak Of War.

The Italian ambassador, after a con-
ference at the State Department yester-
day with Acting Secretary Lansing in
regard to some shipping questions. ex-
planned that shipments Of copper from
the United States direct to Italy would
he larger now than in normal times for
two reasons. Italy needed for her own
use more copper than in times of peace
that her manufacturers might be able
TO supply to the neutral trade of the
world in Sotuh America and elsewhere
electrical instruments and other goods
in which copper was required and
which orders German manufacturers
were rot able 10 supply now.
In normal times, he said, italy i'm
ported from Germany large quantity
of its copper and articles of manufact-
ure made in whole or in part from cop
per. This source of supply, of. course
was cut OF as Germany needed her copper
at home. Statistics would make 1t ap-
pear, he added. as If the larger amount
of the metal ordered from this country
since the outbreak of the war might be
for unneutral purposes, but such was
not the case.
Because Of treaties with some othel
countries, Italy had been compelled to
make Its recent decree allowing copper
plainly addressed "for Germany" OIL
anywhere else. but there was little dan.
ger that any such shipments would gel
by Gibraltar even If 1t passed the eye
of the British consul or authorities il

FOR COURT Of NATIONS
TO lend ARMED STRIFE
Representative Curry of California
Proposes United States Shall
Take Initiative.

A resolution of Representative Curry
Of California for an international con-
vention to frame a constitution to
create an international legislature, in
ternational court and international
army and navy police under a disarma-
ment plan: protest of the Hartford
(Conn.) Business Mems Association
and various commercial concerns
against any legislation to interfere
with expectation of products to any
country, and a warning of i. Monier
of New Britain. Conn, to keep Amer
ican ammunition and firearms at
home," were some Of the things filed
in the House today.
The Curry resolution would empower
the President to invite all nations to
send delegates to a convention to
formulate constitution to provide for
ture to enact laws for government of
intercourse between nations, an inter-
national court to adjudicate interna-
tional differences and would restrict
the army and navy of each nation to
policing it's own territory.
The Hartford organization declared
that any legislation suppressing ex-
portations would close down factories
and throw thousands upon thou
sands of workingmen out OF employ
ment. Forest Morgan, an assistant Ii
brarian. supplemented this with a let
ter saying suppression of trade in war
supplies would spread a wave of ruin
and poverty in Connecticut"

FIGHTING INDIANS UNHONORED
Ghurkas and Sikhs Gets Lions Share
of Glory,
dence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. December 20. - Absurd
stories about the caste habits Of the
Indian soldiers will make trouble at
the front, says Gen. OMoore Greagh.
One correspondent wrote that the
Ghurkas had been given a special dis
pensation to eat beef and drink porter,
like the British soldiers. Nothing
could be a worse insult to the Ghurka,
says Gen. Greagh.
The British press has lavished its
praise almost entirely on the Ghurkas
and Sikhs. to the neglect of other fight
ing castles. There are, for instance,
three regiments of Dogras. who, al
though of poor physique. are the cool
est under fire Of any of the native
soldlery. Some of the best fighting
Indians are the Punjab Mohammedans
A popular mistake is that the Ghur-
kas throw their kukri, or carved knife,
at the enemy. They do not throw it,
but use it so skilfully that they can
behead a buffalo calf at single blow.

LONDON, December 21.-The butt
ends of cigars and cigarettes picked up
SO industriously in the streets by vag-
abonds are not all used for private
smoking, as shown in the case of Isaac
Liss, an East End tobacconist. who was
fined 100 pounds this week for selling
untaxed tobacco.
Liss had in his shop thirty pounds
of butts and 1900 cigarettes made of
that material. He bought part of his
supplies from a man named Robbins.
who sold his picking at the equivalent
of go cents pound. Cigarettes made
of this material brought Liss 2 cents
each.
In view of the nature of the business,
which carried disease. IS well as filth
from the streets to the mouths of de-
ceived purchasers. the magistrate i'm
posed the extreme sentence with its
alternative of four months In Jail on
Liss, and the half Of that penalty upon
the dupe, Robbins.

WILSON Would HASTEN
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
Confers With Senate Leaders Be.
garding Measures He Desires
to Have Advanced.

President Wilson took counsel with
several leaders of the Senate yester.
day in an effort to hasten the admins
tration's legislative program for the
session. He is anxious that 1t shall be
further advanced before he leaves
Thursday to speak at Indianapolis.
With Senator Stone, chairman Of the
foreign relations committee. Mr.. VIII
son discussed the status of the Colum'
bian and Nicaraguan treaties. both OF
which he hopes to see ratified at this
session of Congress. Senator Stone
said later he would write Immediately
to former President Roosevelt, asking
him If he desired to be heard by the
committee as to the Colombian treaty
which provides for the payment OF
s25,oo0.o00 to Colombia for Canal Zone
property.
Asked for Hearing.
When the treaty was first drawn Mr.
Roosevelt protested against its rati-
flcation until he had been given an op-
portunity to discuss 1t before the COM
mittee. He was assured the opportu-
nifty would be provided.
The Nicaraguan treaty, providing fol-
tne acquisition OF an lHteFoCcdHlC Cd
nal route and a naval base in Nicara-
qua by the United States. already has
been reported by the committee. Sen
ator Stone said he would press fol
early action by the Senate.
The President was assured by SEN
ator Fletcher, in charge of the admin
istration merchant marine bill, that the
measure had good chance of passing
the Senate. The senator suggested sew
eral amendments. however. one OF
them relating to the shortening of the
term of the proposed issue Of Panama
canal bonds to raise funds for the pur-
chase or construction of ships.
Declines Invitations.
President Wilson has found 1t impos-
sible to grant the request of Senators
Stone and Lewis that he include St
Louis and Chicago in his trip. He does
not wish to be absent from Washing
ton the additional length of time the
visit to those cities would require.

FERRIS BILL CRITICIsED.
Senator Jones Says States Should
Regulate Water Power Rates.

The trouble with the Ferris water
power site leasing bill, according to
Senator Jones of Washington, in ad-
dressing the Senate public lands COM
mittee yesterday, is that it seeks to con-
fer upon the Secretary Of the Interior
powers to regulate rates and charges.
which powers belong by right to the
states. He declared this power of the
states was fundamental and would be
insisted upon by western states.
Should the general government exact
charges for the power used, he said.
the money produced should go into the
national Treasury, and not into the
reclamation fund.
ITO put it into the reclamation fund
would look too much like bribing those
interested in reclamation to support
the BILL" he added. ITO give the money
to the states interested would be open
to the same criticism"
Hearings on the bill were closed after
Senator Jones remarks. Administra-
tion leaders predict they will have a
majority of one for the Ferris bill in
the committee, but some senators oppos-
ed to the measure declare it cannot be
passed at this session.
