NAVY EXPERTS
 ID CONSIDER
 FRENCH REQUES7 !

Washington, Dec. 22-(By the A. P.)- The negotiations for the limita- tion Of naval armament passed on from first line ships to auviliSzy craft today when the full naval commit tee assembled with it's experts to be- gin consideration of the French re- quest for an Increase in submarines and cru1seTs.
 There seemed to be . general feel ing that the auxiliary warship prob lem would nos be sufficiently diff cI-Ir to teopardize success of the con- fe. enco. These class es Of vessels are considered as having defensive value principally whereas the Gues aon or hattIeships already settled for all of five great powers involved considera tions mainly offensive and thus con cerneS directly the purpose Of the conference to remove threats Of az gressive naval warfare.

ALLIED PREMIERS
 WILL MEET IN SUPREME COUNCIL
(By the A. P.1

London, Dec. 22-Wtth the supreme council will rest the decision as to whether the powers will be asked to cooperate in forming such a body. It Is considered likely the council will act with regard to the January and February separations payments, hear ing the French and British viewpoints and endeavortng to conci1iate their views.
 American Ambassador Harvey will attend the Cannes meeting, it was learned today. It is understood he will be an observer when the sub- iect under discussion is one of no in- terest to America and as a "parttci- pant In the consideration of these subjects affecting the United States.
 Aside from the question of Euro pean rehabilitation It Is likely that the supreme council will have before it the Turco-Greek situation and other problems which have long been awaiting it's attention.
 It is expected the Cannes meeting will prove to be the most important the council has ever held. as there is an accumulation of rlomentous sub iects pressing for attention. The council will meet in a much better atmosphere t is thought as the re- suit Of decisions of the Washington conference and of a more promising outlook on the Irish situation.

WILL FIGHT STUBBORNLY
 FOR GREAT REDUCTION

Washington, Dec 22 CBy the A P.)-France was prepared to lay before the full Naval committee of the arms conference today detailed estimates of the tonnage in auxiliary fighting craft, including submarines which she desires under the prospect i've hve-power naval limitation agree ment as condition to acceptance of the 175,000 ton ratio in capital ships proposed for her.
 The question of a higher ratio in marines, for France, brings up the matter of the British position regard ing submarines, and it was thought that at today's meeting of the naval com mmtttee there might also be a pre- sentation of Great Britain's plea for a total abolition of the submarine. The British delegates have prepared which probably will be made public after it has been laid before the com uittee.
 Although apparently not intending to press their request for abolition of the submarine to the point of greatly prolonging the conference, the Brit iSh delegates are known to be pre- pared to make a stubborn fight at least for a great reduction in the sub marine tonnage suggested in the ori- ginal American limitation plan.
 The Shantung negotiations con- tfnued in suspension today although informal conference following their adjournment Monday have developed agreement while the Japanese dele gates await further instructions from Tol<do befone resuming the exchanges with the Chinese.

COST TO RUN
 LOCAL SCHOOLS
 HIGHER IN 1922

The Board of Education gave the budget 9 further scrutiny, last night, sitting as a committee of the whole.
 Every item had to pass the scrutiny Of every member.
 The work is being done on a policy
 of strict corporation with Mayor
 Atwater who has been elected to give
 the people an economical and efficient
 government.
 The utmost frugaIity is employed dn
 preparing every item of the budget,
 but the cost of operating the schools
 will nevertheless be somewhat
 greater than for 1921.
 Teachers salaries are increased annually until 9 maximum is reached. The payroll will be larger. More pupils come into the schools and more teachers must be employed. It Is in the acquisition for german ert plant that the board expects to make its best showing With the assistance of Supt. Siawson and Supt. Outright 8 careful study Is being made Tn order that the school may
 be used more dntensively. and that more education may be given with less expenditure for plant. The policy in this respect is based upon the idea that the children come first and must have adequate educa- ton, but this object attained, no more demand shall be made upon the tax payers than ds absolutely necessary.

London, Dec. 22-(By the A. P.)- When the Dail Eireann adjourned in Dublin late yesterday, twenty-nine members had given their views on the irish peace treaty since public debate was opened last Monday on the mo- ton for ratification. Of these, fifteen favored the treaty, thirteen were against it, while Dr. Patrick McCartan, known as first ambassador of the Irish republic to the United States, declared his neutrality.
 How many of the remaining ninety one menb bers intend to exercise their right to be heard is not known, but regarded here as very favorable.
 The Dali may have session tonight. If this is found necessary to insure termination of the debate before shat even under this arrangement the discussion cannot be concluded unless 3 rule is adopted limiting the length of speeches.
 Piebiscite Seems Certain.
 Despite the opinions of certain members of the Dail Eireann that rati- dcation of the treaty is assured, as noted in yesterdays Associated Press London newspaper correspondents de- clared this morning that an unofficial canvass of the DaiI members last nighc- showed virtually an equal division. The lineup was given by one as fifty tight for ratification an equal number against and four uncertain. Proba- OtlIIy that the question will be submit ted to a popular referendum was therefore regarded in some quarters as in creasing, although none predict ed this with certainty.
 Miss MaCSwiney's Speech. It was suggested that the violent at. tack on the treaty by Mary MacSwinsy which drove many members out of the chamber had injured rather than help- ed the cause she advocated. The Times correspondent says: ''The frozen fury of her hatred Of the treaty was impressive for a time, but the length of her speech in the end spoiled any influence 1t may have had
 on those whose votes are still believed doubtful"
 Attacks Lloyd George. She quoted Winston Churchill as evidence of British control of Ireland nnder the treaty. She described Premier Lloyd George as "an un- scrupulous scoundreI," whose word no European Minister would accept Yet Ireland was asked to accept it. This treaty, she declared, represent ed Griffith. who had never believed in republic. She had told the Ministers supporting the treaty that if a free State were established she would be he first rebel. She had been a teacher. and would teach that the treaty was an act of treacEery. England would not Kill the Irish agitation against that nation in every country of the world 5y this instrument. and Irish enemies would still undermine England's at tempts at friendship with America.
