DAY BY DAY
(From oar Special Correspondent

Washington, Dec. 15.-The ltailar
delegates to the arms conference are
very fond of visiting the Nationa
Geological Park, and scarcely miss 3
Sunday on which to take in the ami
mails collected there. Last Sunday
one of the Italian delegates was look
ing over the cage containing tht
giant apes, baboons and gorl!las
He was especially interested. Ht
looked away for moment from one
of the cages and spied an old negro
man, thick-lipped and to every out
ward appearance a specimen OF tne
missing link" The Italian looked
first at the giant ape then at the ne.
gro. again at the ape and once more
at the negro and turning to the Sc:
cret Service man who accompanied
him, queried:
"Ees it all the same:"

It is stated in official circles that
adjournment of the conference on
Limitation of Armaments and Pa
cific and Far Eastern questions by
December 81 is very probable. Such
progress has been made on the naval
ratio and Far Eastern questions that
there is little doubt in the minds OF
the highest conference officials that
agreements on all of them can be
concluded by that time. Some de-
tails Of the conference may hang
over, to be worked out later, but
they can be arranged by diplomatic
exchanges between the Ambassadors
and Ministers with Secretary OF
State Hughes.

Hull. of Tennessee, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. A
wag suggests that possibly they are
arranging for limitation OF political
ornaments.
A spokesman for the British del
eeation called attention today to
what he said were many misleading
and inaccurate reports reaching this
country from London, dealing chiefly
with economic subjects. One OF
these, which suggests that the Brit
ish government contemplates the
cancellation of all war debts due her
from various nations is totally un'
true, it was said, inasmuch as the
British could not possibly take such
action unless they had reason to be-
ilievs that America would also be
willing to cancel war debts.
The British spokesman also SCOT
fed at the idea that Europe was
planning for a conference on arma.
ments at this time.
Negotiations between China and
japan with the United States and
Great Britain friendly consultants,
have reached a critical stage, it IS
learned today and the negotiations
will shortly either mean the return
of Shantung o. China or else those
responsible will be forced to report a
disagreement to the Far Eastern
Committee Of the conference.
All minor details of the Shantung
arrangement having been settled,
the question of the railway In the
peninsula remains as the present in
soluble problem between the two
nations Japan, it is learned, is in
sisting strongly on her proposal for
joint operation of the road with the
Chinese, while China is just az
strongly insisting on having full and
complete control.
The Chinese offer to buy the rail-
way has been definitely refused by
the Japanese, it is learned without
figure having been set by either
party as tentative purchase price.
The Chinese suggested that they
would buy the road, but were not III
a position to state the amount OF
money that might be paid. The Jap
anese rejected the suggestion before
the Chinese could obtain the neces-
sary information on which to base
a monetary proposition.
There seems to be every likelihood
that another plenary session Of the
arms conference will take place be.
fore the end Of the present week.
Negotiations over several disputed
questions in the Hughes plan for
limitation Of naval armaments have
reached the stage where only one
or two minor points need to be
cleared up and it is strongly be-
lieved that Hughes. Balfour and
Kato will be ready to get together
on the final plan. 1t is just about
certain that Japan will retain the
battleship Mutsu for which she has
been contending SO strongly but that
she will come into the agreement Oh
approximately the 5-5-3 basis origi-
nally suggested by Secretary Hughes

CHECKING UP ON
MIGRATORY BIRDS

The desire to learn what became of
birds that flew south with the ap-
proach of cold weather led Audubon,
the great American naturalist, to place
silver threads about the legs of a
brood of Phoebes. The following spring
he was rewarded by having two of
the birds return to nest near the
haunts where they learned to fly.
This occurred early in the ninteenth
century, and was the first known last
in America of bird banding. Since
that time this means of securing in
formation on the movements and life
history Of migratory birds has been
used by many societies, and every fall
thousands of birds fly south, each
bearing a narrow ring, stamped with
a number, about one of its legs.
Information for Bird Banding.
So valuable is this work, especially
with game and insectivorous species
of birds, that in 1920 the United States
Department of Agriculture took over
the experiments being conducted by
the American Bird-Banding Associa-
ton, the socitey's work having out
grown its available Since
it is the returns from bird banding
that furnish the data desired in this
branch of research, it is of prime i'm
portance that the methods employed
be improved and that the percentage
of birds under observation be increas-
ed. To assist cooperators in this
work, the department has published
Department Circular 10, Instructions
for Bird Banding, which is now avail
able for distribution.
If iS tho n1an of tho Rio1opipa1 Sl1r-
vey of the department, which is su-
pervising the bird-banding work, to
advance this method of research along
two principal lines: First, the banding
of fledglings as formerly practiced;
and second, the systematic trapping
and banding of adult birds. AS the
banding of fledglings has the advan-
tage of affording valuable informa-
ton on the ages of birds, the survey
wishes to encourage these activities,
but it desires to lay special emphasis
on the added value of the systematic
trapping of adults.
With the establishment of a we'll
connected chain of trapping stations
throughout the United States and
Canada, regular returns" are conf

that had been banded at the original
and other stations. Data thus afford
ed are already indicating the exact
lines of migration of individual birds,
the speed of travel, and innumerable
items of interest, may of which have
a direct bearing upon the study of
life history and the administration
of the migratory bird treaty act with
which the department is charged.
Use Trap to Catch Birds.
The department issues bands of two
types to cooperators in the work. One
type is the Suffering band for all
small birds, and the other is the flat
strip band that is adjustable for all
