SURGICAL WORK IN MlD.AIR
French Authorities Equip Airpianes
With Every Appliance Neces-
sary for Any Operation.

The French authorities have found
airplanes so useful for transport and
other services in their colonial ter
ritories that they intend to introduce
large multi-engined airplanes, which
will be assigned, with pilot and
small staff of mechanics, to surgeons
who have large territories to cover.
The cabins will be equipped as
operating theaters possessing every
life-saving device that modern surgery
can suggest. The surgeon, with his
assistant acting as anesthetist, will
be able to perform major as well as
minor operations just as readily in
remote areas as If he had his patient
in well-equipped hospital.
1t will be possible, should patient
in transit develop any suddenly ad-
verse symptoms, to perform delicate
operation in mid-air.

CALL FOR MORE CHICKENS
Poultry Supply Seemingly Has. Not

City folks who move 10 the country
-and most of them want to, but won't
admit it-always want to keep chick
ems. 1t seems easy, it promises to be
profitable, and anyhow there is some
thing fascinating in the idea, to wom-
en- as to men.
Under the circumstances, then, the
United States chicken census of last
year, report of which is just available
possesses sentiment as well as bust
ness interest.
There were 1853, ,537 1856 chickens on
farms in the United States on January

FouR-PoWER THEATY IN FINAL
FORM AND NAVAL AGREE
MENT ASSURED.
JApS NEAR DECISION
1T is PREDICTED THAT JAPAN
WILL ACCEPT 5-5-s NAVY
RATIO SHORTLY.
western Newspaper Union News s.ries.)

WashingtOn.-Wit the four-pOwer
treaty in final form and an agreement
on naval ratio regarded as practically
assured the arms conference is confi-
dent they can finish their major duties
here by January. Problems of the
Far East and details of the naval re-
duction program, including the ques-
ton Of Pacific island Notifications
and naval bases, now become the sub
jects of primary consideration. The
Far Eastern discussions are to be
pressed forward at daily meetings OF
the committee of the whole, while the
naval situation is clearing up through
communication with the foreign cap
itals and while the separate negotia-
tions over Shantung and Yap are verg-
ing toward decision.
Although there are indications that
japan is about ready to accept the
American 5-5-3 naval ratio, 1t Is not
cinsidered unlikely that she may re-
frain from committing herself defi-
nitely until there is a clearer under
standing about future Notifications on
the Pacific
There has been a general indication
that the powers are willing to assent
to an arrangement by which all pres
ent defenses in the Pacific would be
retained and none added, but the ques-
ton is vet to be made the subject of
formal exchanges.
Further instructions from Toxic
were received by the japanese. Their
nature was not revealed, but there
were evidences that the japanese were
preparing to canvass the situation
relative to Pacific bases before going
further with the naval ratio discus
sion
The two subjects have been long re-
garded by Japan as inseparable, and
her desire to dispose of both together
is not regarded as serious barrier to
ratio agreement.
The negotiations on China, although
proceeding separately, also are receiv-
ing the careful attention of the Jap
anese, while the naval question is In
abeyance, and there have been some
hints that they would prefer to see
decision in that quarter also before
they make their acceptance of the B.
5-S final and binding.
It is the general expectation that the
result of the Far Eastern discussions
will be a united declaration of policy
by the nine nations embodying the
flour points" of Elihu Root and max
ing such specific application of them as
may be found possible. Such declara-
| tion, a part of which was given official
sanction by the nine nations, it was
expected would finally take the form OF
"gentlemen's understanding" Some
plenipotentlaries, however, want to
write it into a treaty and decision on
that point is to be reached.

d RESIDENT HARDING gave voice
4 to his optimism concerning the con-
ference in two public addresses last
wednesday. In converting the annual
meeting of the Red Cross he said
II hope with all my heart that much
Of the big work which has been yours
In the past will never be asked of you
again. 1t will be wonderful thing
for me and for you to have lived In
period when we have brought the
conscience Of mankind into an under
standing where we shall have done
something tangible to prevent calling
upon you again for war service. And
like to say it to you, because know
whereof I speak. We are going to sue
ceed beyond our fondest hopes; 1t is
getting to be so pleasing TO be able to
say that things never done before we
can do now"

Gus farm organizations the President

"ThIs conference will demonstrate

and settling problems without resort
to arms"

already had received the Endorsements
of the governments In London, TOki
and Paris and the approval of the
American administration, and 1t Is as
sumed that it will be ratified by con-
gress when submitted to it, since 1t is
not drawn in the form of an alliance
or entente which would be distasteful
to large element in the senate.
BY this agreement the four powers
recognize the status quo of the island
possessions of each in the Pacific and
undertake to settle by mediation or
arbitration any disputes that may arise
between two or more OF the powers
concerning those possessions and that
are not settled by conference of the
four powers.
Upon the ratification of the pact by
the powers the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance is to be terminated, which will
be pleasing not only to 'the United
States but also to the British domin-
ions. The abrogation of that alliance
will make 1t safe for America to re-
duce its navy and will permit close
cooperation between this country and
Britain in handling questions pertain
ing to the Pacific.
Since the other powers are pledged,
by the status quo agreement, to re-
frain from aggression against the Phil
ippines the islands are virtually neu-
traliZed and the United States is re-
lieved of the necessity of strengthen
ing its defenses there and in Guam.
The agreement also operates to record
the recognition by America of the
Japanese mandate over the former
German islands that lie north of the
equator, and it was understood that
the United States and Japan had
reached, outside the conference, a set
tlement of their disputes over cOmmun-
icatiOn and commercial rights. espe-
cially those pertaining to the island of
Yap.
With this quadrilateral agreement
reached it is believed the other main
problems before the conference will h.
speedily solved. The acceptance of
the Hughes naval reduction plan is at
hand, including the 5-5-3 ratio, for
even Japan will not hold out against
1t now. The matter Of the strength of
the French and Italian navies will be
settled at future conference, as will
be some Of the problems relating to
China. However, before adJourning,
the conference will do all 1t can with
the Chinese questions, and the Chinese
when the situation is fully understood
by them, probably will have to be sat
isfied with this.
Japanese and Chinese delegates are
not getting along so well as was
hoped in their discussion of the evacu-
alton of Shantung, and the latter may
yet insist that the question. be placed
before the conference without prelim-
mary settlement. The Chinese feel
that they are getting the worst of
things in the conference, and one or
two important members of their dele
cation have resigned.
The conference committee on Far
East questions has pledged that the
nine powers it represents will respect
the neutrality of China In future wars,
and has agreed on a wireless conven-
tion by which the various government
radio stations in legation compounds
shall be used only for government
messages, except when ordinary means
Of telegraphc communication are in

nEACE and amity between Great
L Britain and Ireland are in sight,
after many long year of bitter en-
nifty and Intermittent fighting. Just
as the outlook seemed darkest, Lloyd
George and the Sim Fein delegates ar
rived at an agreement that solved the
tangled problem and signed treaty
which creates the Irish Free State as
a sister nation Of the British empire
like Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa. Its constitution Is
to be based on that Of Canada, and
the representative of the crown In Ire
land is to be chosen in the same way
as the Canadian viceroy.
By clever Juggling of words and
phrases the peace delegates evolved
an oath of allegiance that the Irish
we're willing TO accept. 1t must be
taken by every member of the Irish
parliament and Is as follows:
'T do solemnly swear true faith and
allegiance to the constitution of the
Irish Free State as by law established
and that / will be faithful to his mai
esty King George V, and his heirs
and successors by law, in virtue Of the
common citizenship of Ireland with
Great Britain and her adherence to
and membership of the group Of ma
tIons forming the British common
wealth Of nations"
Ireland is TO have her own army and
coast defenses and to control her own
finances. She admits liability for
share Of the British debt, and Britain
retains the right to control certain
ports.
Az for Ulster, while speedily in
formed Of the treaty, she is not even
asked to consent to it. The northern
counties are to be included in the
Irish Free State, with local autonomy,
but have a month to decide whether
they prefer their present status. and
during that time "the powers Of the
parliament and government Of the
Irish Free State shall not be exercis-
able as respects northern Ireland" II
Ulster elects to retain her present

fixed by commission Of three.
At this writing Ulster has not acted
, formally concerning the treaty, but 1t
Is predicted 1t will approve it. All
Great Britain, except a very few OF
the most rabid Unionlsts, are enthusi-
astically for the pact and the southern
Irish themselves seem fairly well sat
isfied and decidedly relieved. They
should be happy, for they gain practi-
cally everything they have asked ex-
cept ac.Jal separation from the Brit
ish empire. The treaty is yet to be ac-
cepted formally by the Irish parlia-
ment and the Dali Eireann and by the
British parliament. which has been
summoned to special session. "Presl-
dent" de Valera declares himself
against the agreement, but the real
rulers of Sim Fein are Arthur Griffith
and Michael Collins. both Of whom
signed the pact gladly. Mr.. Griffith
said:
These proposals give ireland the
control of her own destlnies and place
our future in our own hands. They
enable us to stand on our own feet
and to develop our own civilization
and national distlnctlveness. They
constitute a regainment Of Irish liber-
ty after struggle Of centuries"

THE first regular session of the Six.
= ty-seventh congress opened on De
cember 5, and President Harding
promptly submitted the budget for the
fiscal year 1923-the first national
budget in our history. 1t shows the
expenditures of the government dur
ing 1923 will be more than half bill
lion dollars less than during 1922, and
two billions less than during 1921. The
budget contemplates total expendi-
ture of $4,081 ,992, ,793.
On Tuesday the President read his
message to congress in the presence
of nearly TIE entire membership of the
arms conference and many other dis
more startling in parts THAN people
had been led to expect from Mr.. Har-
ding and some of his recommendations
already are the subjects of warm con-
troverSy. For instance, he advises the
establishment of tribunals for the ad-
judication of disputes between capital
and labor and TO prevent the strike,
the lockout and the boycott. OF course
this brought instant response from
Samuel Gompers, who characterized
the recommendation as a "reversion
to conditions of 400 years ago." and
asserted that the experience of the
Australasian countries and Kansas
with such courts proved them to be
utter failures.
In a plea for closer party unity and
less division in congress ''geograph-
ically or according to pursuits" Mr.
Harding was supposed to be hitting at
the members Of the agriculture bloc;
but he pleased them by recommending
the adoption of a cooperative market
ing system similar to that of Russia,
The President made it clear that he,
like President Wilson, would refuse
to carry out the injunction of the
Jones act TO abrogate commercial
treaties in order to help develop our
merchant marine, and said that soon
he would submit better plan which
would contemplate no greater draft
