JAPANESE REFUSE
TO HALT ARMAMENT


surface has been productive of increas-
ing discomfort and virtually has nullificd
the assembly's powers and initiative.
The wishes of Great Britain and
France have shaped the policy respect
ing the admission of new members de-
cisions on armament and the interna-
tional court project and postponed all
amendments. Apparently they have
prevented any action regarding the
mandates that would clearly reaffirm
the principles Of the leagues title and
control
1t was demonstrated by the action or
the full ornaments commission this
morning that the entire result here re-
garding this question of paramount inn
portance to the worlds social and eco
nomic welfare will be a new declaration
of principles, to which the nations Will
be asked to pledge themselves.
Great Britain and France are refus-
ing at this time to take the least step
here toward actual disarmament meas
ures, and the report which the assem-
bly, will adopt will merely be a request
to the Powers by the Powers them
selves. as represented in this council
and assembly; first. that there shall
be no increases whatever of existing
military and naval establishments; Sec
ond, that measures be taken for
gradual reduction Of ornaments. and,
third. that for the recognized good OF
all the end shall be complete disarma-
ment. 1t is little more than Article
VIII. restated.

FRANCE FIRM FOR
UNFOLDING TREATY
AT Reparations Conference
May Accept German Plans
Of Payment.
SITUATION FULLY KNOWN
Experts for France Have Been
Studying Conditions in
Germany.

Special Cable to THE New York HERALD.
Copyright, 1890, by THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Paris, Dec. III.
The French Governments only in
structions to the financial and economic
experts who will represent France at
the Preparations conference in Brussels
with the Germans next week are EN-
braced in the following words: do not
grant anything even slightly resembling
a modification of the treaty of Ver-
sailles."
This does not mean, however. that
France will not accept any German sug
gestions regarding the methods of pay
ing the indemnity. The French dele
gates selected are NJ. Seydoux, Under
Secretary OF the Foreign Office, and NJ
Cheysson, formerly Minister of Finance
both of whom have been studying dur
ing the last two years Germany's real
capacity to pay. In fact, they have
made numerous Investigations in the
interior Of Germany In order toerepudi-
ate Germany's plea of hardship
1t is admitted in official circles here
that France cannot expect much from
germany IN the way or gold disburse-
ments. while with exchange as It is at
present any other cufrency basis is i'm
possible from Berlin's standpoint. TIE
only solution now appearing feasible IN
important French financial circles Is
the one discarded in the early days of
the peace conference-namely. that Ger
many pay for all damages sin kind"
with the Allies exerting sort OF re-
ownership over all OF Germany's OK
terror and interior financial and COM
mercial affairs. meanwhile directing
shipments of German goods TO markets
which will agree to pay promptly, all
shipments to the Allies to be balanced
off against the war claims.

CHILE OR BOLIVIA
MAY QUIT LEAGUE
Tacna Aric Dispute Makes
Action Possible.
BIZ tnc Associated Press.

GENEVA. Dec. ia dispute between
Chile and Bolivia in the assembly to-day
has raised the possibility of the with
drawal of one country or the other from
the league. The dispute arose over the
submission TO assembly OF the Tacna-
africa case which involves these northern
provinces of Chile. taken by Chile from
Peru in the war between these nations
nearly forty years ago. In which Bolivia
was also involved, and the Peruvian and
Bolivian claims concerning them.
The Tacna and africa Gaze was sub
mitted to the assembly at the beginning
OF Its session and soon reached an acute
stage. involving Chile and Bolivia in a
serious dispute. Chile renewed her OPP
position to the assembly hearing the
case, while Bolivia insisted upon an inn
mediate inquiry. The Chilean delegates
threaten drastic action in the event that
the steering committee decides to hear
the case in the present assembly and
the withdrawal of either country is con-
sidered possibility. ~

RERLIN, Dec. 11.-News that
the peace prize has been
awarded to President Wilson is
received here with scorn and
ridicule by all the Berlin news
papers. The Liberal organs bit
terly assail the President and
also the Nobel judges. The
clerical organ Germans says:
president Wilson is the man
who gave Germany the right to
hope, then robbed the Germans
of their peace. If hypocritical
peace ambitions are to be
crowned with the Nobel prize,
then each succeeding recipient
of the award must carry share
of his shame"
The Tageblatt declares that
President Wilson's work has
been "to bequeath heritage of
militarism to the new world, to
which it was a stranger"

plorable. There is q golden mean
between the two, though 1t In hard
to find.
The Fort Leavenworth plan con-
tanned within itself the seeds of fail
ure. Nearly all the details Of man.
agement were turned over to COM
mittees and subcommittee of pris-
oners. A "constitution" was drawn
up, and the right to try lesser Of
tenders and to punish them was
lodged in judicial council. To this
the prisoners themselves soon had
reason to object. The new wielders
Of authority became "tyrannical" and
administered beatings and black
eyes to their victims. They acted,
in short, precisely as they might
have been expected to act. "Set a
thief to catch a thief" is principle
with distinct limitations. The ex-
pertinent Of turning over any part
Of the discipline of the prison to the
prisoners themselves was a fore
ordained failure. No other War
Department in the world would have
dreamed Of trying it.

Getting From Under

President Mahon of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, with
which the B. R. T. strikers are af-
filiated, has evidently come to New
York in a pacific mood. The strike
situation here doesn't suit him and
he fatty repudiates the leaders who
brought it about. He has good rea-
son for doing 50.
"We are not here" he says, tto
vilify Judge Mayer or to abuse the
receiver, the authorities or the news
papers," The methods employed in
the Brooklyn strike have solidifed
the public against it. Mr.. Mahon
recognizes this fact. Naturally, he
is dissatisfied.
A strike by a small group of
public utility workers, necessarily
interfering with the comfort and
welfare Of the rest of the COM
munity, cannot succeed unless the
community is convinced that right
is with the strikers, or, at least, that
there is as much right on their
side as on the other. The public
is tolerant and easy-going. 1t will
put up with annoyances if it's sense
of justice and generosity is success
fully appealed to. But it is weary
of arrogant and arbitrary inter
ferences with public utility service.
1t rightly feels that it is entitled
to consideration and that it's inter-
ests are superior to those of en-
ployees who will not operate trains
themselves and don't want to let
others operate them.
Mr.. Mahon says he has great re-
spect for the court and the receiver
and appreciates their difficulties.
Perhaps he also has a kindly feel
ing in his breast for the public
which has to get to and from work.
The most sensible thing he can do
under the circumstances is to ad-
wise the workers to go back to duty,
pending the adjustment promised
them by Judge Mayer and Mr.. Gar
rison if they do go back.

Wasteful Furnaces
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A shortage of coal is predicted
for this winter, which means a high
price. Seventy degrees is given for
the standard temperature for heat,
whereas most people run nearer a hum
dred. This is waste of fuel and is
decidedly unhealthy. Going from a
lot, stuffy room into the cold makes
too sudden change for health. I
found when l reduced my heat from
70 to so degrees I was less subject to
colds and felt better.
/ find that most people have big coal
hills but poor heat. There is defect
in the arrangement of furnaces and
other heating apparatus.
We will take a fve-room house for
an illustration.
The furnace is situated in the rear
Of the house, making the heat travel
long way to reach the two front
rooms. 1t is not placed low enough
to give the pipes a sufficient slope up
ward. The natural inclination Of hot
air is to go upward, whereas the de-
lective system of installation makes
the hot air travel almost on a level.
The furnace should be in the middle
OF The house and be sunk low enough
tc give the pipes an upward slope and
there should be one pipe running
straight up in the center Of the house.
A fan situated at the mouth Of the
feed pipe would help in any kind of
house.
The fan or the proper installation
will solve the heat problem, reduce the
coal bills, and il the temperature is
reduced to so degrees 1t will not only
eeonomize on fuel but add to health.

Sir: The activities Of Bolshevik agents

bad enough at all times, but when they
are extended to include innocent and

American Red Cross has in its charge

them are Russians, but their number

State Growth and Power

The Census Bureau has reported the
1920 population of six more states
Massachusetts, Vermont, Copnecti-
cut, Maryland, Colorado and Wash
ington. They show very irregular
rates of growth. Vermont, in fact,
didn't grow at all. Her total in 1920
is per cent below the total of 1910.
But Vermont has long been among
the firmly anchored states Her rate
of increase between 1900 and 1910
was only SO and between 1890 and
1900 only 3.4.
OF the other two New England
states Massachusetts slowed down in
growth considerably and Connecti-
cut more than held her own-aided,
no doubt, by the great development
of war industry in the Bridgeport
district. Massachusetts percentage
of gain between 1910 and 1920 was
only 14.4. In the preceding decade
it was 20, and between 1880 and 1890
it was 25.3. On the contrary, Con-
necticut's percentage was 23.8 be-
tween 1910 and 1920, 22.7 between
1900 and 1910 and PIT between 1890
and 1000.
Maryland is another state-one of
very few-which made a better
record in the last decade than in the
preceding one. Her percentage of
growth-due to rapid expansion in
Baltimore-was 119. This COM
pares with 90 between 1900 and
1910 and 14.0 between 1890 and
1900. The .spbsidence Of population
growth in the Far West is very
marked. Washington's gain on the
1920 returns is 1873 per cent. But
her gain in the preceding decade was
1904 per cent. Colorado's rate de-
clined from 60.1 to 17.6.
What effect will these census fig
ures have on the distribution of
political power? The present ratio
Of representation in the lower house
OF Congress is 211,877. 1t will be
raised; presumably, in the new ap-
portionment act to between 225, 900
and 100000. Vermont has two seats
and cannot lose one, even if the ratio
goes to 100000, because she will
have more than half o ratio over.
Massachusetts will gain one seat on
100000 basis, thanks to a major
fraction, although she is slightly
over-represented in the present
House. Connecticut will also gain a
seat, increasing her delegation from
five to six.
Maryland's representation in the
House hasn't changed since 1871.
She has six seats now, and will have
six under the new apportionment,
II It Is made along traditional lines.
Colorado's increase in population
since 1910 has been high, compared
New-York tribune., 1920-09-07
Bakerisrm at Leavenworth

There is nothing surprising in the
failure Of the kind Of discipline insti-
tuted by the War Department at
Fort Leavenworth. To the mind of
Secretary Baker the administration
of the prison by council Of prison
ers naturally made a strong appeal.
He has always held to Dick Phenyl's
view that much may be done by
kindness" in the treatment of paci-
fists, slackers and offenders against
military discipline. But kindness in
dealing with criminals has it's limits.
One of the prisoners has put his
finger upon the weak spot in the
Baker scheme. while there were
several hundred men in the prison
who desired to do what was right
and had been sent there for trivial
oRenses," he says, "there were also
several hundred hardened criminals,
who preferred prison life to the
danger Of the trenches. They
cared not at all for oaths and laws
tho only rule they knew was
force"
Questions Of prison reform are
teo often debated by the rerormers
on the assumption that prisoners
can be dealt with in the mass; that
methods well adapted to minor Of
tenders will prove equally successful
with major offenders. The inherent
