cHlLrs REGENT TREATY WITH JAPAN MAKES ACTION SEEM
 oMlNOUS.
WERE ORDERED BEFORE VAR
Vessels Were Sold To Italy at the Outbreak of War But England Re- fused To Sanction Sale and
 Requisitioned Them.

Paris. European naval experts are discussing the strategic position of Chile, on the flank of American lines of communication with mid-Paeitio possessions and the Panama Canal, following the signing of Chilean-Jap- anese alliance.
 This discussion became more active when it was learned that Chile re- gently increased her fleet through the purhase of two dreadnoughts, two battle cruisers and three destroyers from England
 In the course of comment high French official declared he had infor- nation which led him to believe that the vatican's statement regarding the reported alliance, as reported from Rome last week, was entirely correct.
 Information given me by Oliver Guiheneue, a French naval expert in- cludes the names of ships Chile has purchased The dreadnoughts are the Canada and Eagle, the battle cruisers Infexible and Indomitable, and the destroyers Falkner, Botha and Broke.
 The vessels were laid down for Chile before the war, and during the summer of 1914 were sold to Italy. However, with the outbreak of hostil- ities England refused to sanction the sale and requistioned them.
 The Canada, which was near com pletion, immediately was commis- stoned and placed in the nrst line of defense. The Eagle, on which guns had not been mounted, was converted into an airplane carrier. Since the war it had been reconverted into a dreadnought corresponding with the New York class. Before July all these ships will have been delivered to Chile in fighting trim.
 As in former times, when the cav airy was an important arm, the sale Of horses always preceded hostilities, so today the transfer of fighting ships always comes before a war" conclud- ed NJ. Guiheneuc. This was true of the Japanese war and the world war"

WILL DROP MANY
 FEDERAL EMPLOYES
REPUBLICANS TO INSIST UPON ECONOMY, SAYS APPRoPRI-
 ATION CHAIRMAN.

Washington.-Th Thirty thousand su- perfluous government employees in the District of Columbia are to be elim- mated by Congress this winter, ac- cording to Representative Wood of Indiana
 MT. Wood returned to Washington today to begin hearings on the legis- lative, executive and judicial appro- priation bill by the House Appropria- tions Subcommittee, of which he is chairman He said that the payroll slashing he contemplates is only pre- liminary to wholesale reduction of the force of employees throughout the country upon the reorganization of the government departments and bureaus by the Harding administration
 The congressman also joined the ranks of those legislators who advo- cate the refunding of government war obligations for long period so that taxes may be greatly reduced imme- diately
 q would issue new bonds, refund ing government obligations over 8 long period" said Representative Wood. T would have this include not only the Liberty bonds, but the short-term Treasury certificates of in debtedness and the Victory notes The short-term certificates are making lots of trouble in the banks and helped to cause depreciation in the value of Liberty bonds. I believe the situa- tion will be helped by refunding all gthese obligations over long period. I believe the next generation should help to bear the load of the war ex- penses.
 Business is in such condition that we must reduce the burden of taxation if possible. The excess prof it's tax should be repealed. It has proved an unjust burden upon busi- ness.
 There were 37,QO0 government em- ployes in Washington before the war, 11S,000 when the armistice was signed. There are now 90000. Mr. Wood says that the same amount of work can be done more efficiently by 60,000. In the entire country the number of civil employees rose from 45O, ,000 before the war to nearly 80O,0O0 at it's close. De- partment heads now are asking for more employees whose salaries would total S14.000.0O0

BRITAIN MAKES
 TRADE AGREEMENT
GREAT BRITAIN RECOGNIZES THE DE FAcTO RUSSIAN
 GOVERNMENT.

Washington. In the view of State Department officials, practical de fac to recognition of the Russian soviet government is extended by Great Brit ain in the proposed trade agreement between the two countries. 4 copy of the agreement has been received here.
 The proposed agreement, which consists of 10 articles, provides not only for the appointment of one or more official agents to reside and ex- ercise their functions in the territo ries of the other with immunity from arrest, but also provides that such agents shall have the rights accorded to diplomatic representatives, of the wise of passports and the liberty of communicating by code and cipher. Provision also is made that the of fcial agents shall be at liberty to receive and dispatch couriers with sealed bags which shall be exempt from examinations"
 Premier Lloyd George said in the British House of Commons, that the draft of the agreement would be ready for submission to the soviet government within few days. He added, however, that the agreement would not be entered into until satis- factory assurances are received from the soviet authorities regarding the release of British prisoners and that the Bolsheviki would refraln rom spreading propaganda and committing hostile acts in Asia.
 In the preamble to the agreement, 1t Is said that whereas it is desira- ble in the interest both of Russia ana of the United Kingdom, that peace trade and commerce should be resum ed forthwith between these countries. and whereas for this purpose it Is necessary, pending the conclusion of a formal treaty between the govern ments of these countries by which their permanent economic and politi cal relations shall be regulated, that a preliminary agreement should be arrived at between the government of the United Kingdom and the Russian soviet government, the aforesaid par ties have accordingly entered into the following agreement"

MILITARY FORCES ARE TIGHTEN. ING THE GORDON ABOUT
 DUBLIN.
ROADS COMPLETELY CLOSED
Soldiers Conduct Scores of Raids Wrought city-certaln That Many Casualties Marked the Days
 Activity.

Dublin.-Vigorous activities of the authorities leave little doubt that de- termined and concerted efforts are be- Ing made et round up every Repub- hcan suspected of being active in out rages. Military forces are tightening the cordon about Dublin and gradual ly working in toward the center, as was done during the Easter rebellion of 1916. It is believed many Republi- can leaders in the provinces, finding the pursuit too hot, have taken refuge in Dublin.
 Total arrests to date are huge. but the government refuses to divuIge the figures. Dublin castle authorities, however, admit the prisons are so full that it has become necessary to util- ize the castle and that it was in a lumber room in the old derectlve quar- ters of the castle that Peter Clancy and two others were shot recently.
 Strong military patrols guarded ev cry bridge and road running out of the city. All avenues of egress and ingress were closed, and even persons holding permits were not allowed to pass the lines drawn through the out skirts of the city Reports reaching the center of Dublin during the night indicated that practically the whole military establishment in this district of Ireland was employed in maintain. ing this cordon.
 Late in the evening the strict guard placed around the city made absolute the paralysis of traffic in and out of Dublin, which was begun when orders were issued Sunday suspending all railway service.
 In the meantime soldiers were con- ducting scores of raids throughout the city. All classes and types or residences and other premises were searched
 It seems certain that many casual ties marked the days activity. The thoroughness with which the cordon about the city was drawn and saids conducted led those in close touch with the situation to believe the mili- tary authorities were determined to arrest the persons responsible for the murder of II officers Sunday.

Would that there were means of handling the moral stacker as well as the deserter-the stacker who evad- ed service by acts of his own violation, which acts were known by this per son to be sufficient to keep him with in the bounds of exemption.
