An effort to establish wireless tele-

the ten days beginning Wednesday.
me announcement was made last
night by Hiram Percy Maxim. mem
Der of the American Radio Relay

the announcement, it was estimated,
to an audience of 25o,000 persons,
speaking by wireless telephone from
the Westinghouse Electric Company
broadcasting station in Newark.

MIR. Cooley has only just arrived in
England, and he is now erecting his
apparatus and in a few days will be
listening for our signals from this
side. From December to December

throughout the world. Many inside OBJ
servers consider that general election
is not needed to prove this.
According to Mr.. Lloyd Georges
present intentions, he will come to the
United States in January. 1t must not
be assumed that any happenings in
ireland, however regrettable they
might be, will Illustrate this intention.
1t may be held by the Prime Minister
that he has done his best in that quar-
ter and that lie must consider other re-
sponsioilities also. That undoubtedly
is All argument heard in London.
If there should be further active
trouble in ireland the reaction in the
United States would be carefully fol-
lowed by the British officials here,
There is no inclination to underesti-
mate the Importance of this influence
and Tor this and other reasons the
opening of Congress next week is
awaited with great interest. The view
is that no foreign policy can be pur-
sued by the United States unless Con-
gress be favorable. 1t is arguable that
the sanctions underlying the confer
cnce might be unwritten and that
treaties requiring ratification might be
evoided. But the British authorities,
accustomed to the control of ther own
Parliament, do not believe that the
approval of Congress can be dispensed
with even if this were desired, and for
TINS reason they are eagerly picking
up any available gossip as to what is
happening at the Capitol.

on short notice. Such a thing is an
impossibility. At least France does
not believe she can ask it of Amer
lea and England. France has at last
realized that, materially speaking, she
must rely only upon herself for de-
fense. And to-day she Is relying on
herself alone. s
But in coming to Washington France
passionately desired two things:
First, to prove to the world ut large
that her army is still necessary to
her, that that army has no aggressive
or imperialistic objective, bat is solely
an instrument Of defense; second, TO
obtain the assurance, in the absence
of materal support, that she has at
least the moral support of the world
in general and of America in particu-
lar. These two wishes have been COM
pletcly fulfilled. France has the i'm
preston that her demonstration has
convinced even the most incrcdulous
and the most skcptical. France also
has the impression that she will take
back with her the moral support of

tee meeting in the Pan-American
Building, have for us the same value

Are Attacked in Persia
Missionaries Victime of Raid

Cendarrnes Shot Down

LONDON, Dec. l. - A dispatch to
"The Times" from Tabriz, Persia,
dated Tuesday, says wild tribesmen
raided the American Lutheran Mission
at Syjbulak October and tore The
clothes off three Americans, the Misses
Schonhood, Fossum and Gudhard, and
brutally handled M. Bachir1ont, a
Frenchnaan attached to the mission.
Mrs. Bachimont was found two days
later in distraught condition, hiding
sin ruined house.
Five hundred gendarmes, who sur
rendered, were stood up In patches and
shot down with machine guns. After
These excuses the tribcsmen withdrew,
but no Persian troops had occupied
the town when the news reached here.
Two thousand gendarmes and cossacks,
however, were at Miandoab.
The raiders are part Of the forces
Of Simko, the Kurdish brigand chief,
who, making forced march from
Urumiah,- in the Province of Aver
baijan, appeared suddenly before Syj-
bulak October 6. The gendarmes re-
sisted the Kurds, but were defeated,
and on October Simko occupied the
town, which the tribesmen looted.

Japanese Fear
Abrogation of
British Pact
Washington View Is That
They Will Sacrifice Much
Before Doing Anything
to Annul the Alliance
Britain Predicts Success
Believed Lloyd Georges
Arrival Will Insure APP
proval of Hughes Plan
BY Boyden Sparkcs

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.--Great Brit
ain is standing firmly with the United
States in the controversy with Japan
on the question Of capital ship ratios.
Before his departure Admiral Beatty. it
is understood, indorsed the American
contention that the 5-5-3 ratio was
moro than fair to Japan on the basis
of existing strength.
Now that the naval experts of Japan,
Great Britain and the United States
have surrendered the stage to the
statesmen representing the three pow
ers, Great Britain's support Of the
American position is becoming more
effective. Japan will sacrifice much, it
is believed here, before she will do any
thing that would justify the abrogation
Of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
IT Japan's insistence on a 10-l0-7
ratio should threaten the success Of
the conference, it is not inconceivable
that representatives of Great Britain,
perhaps Lloyd George himself, might
suggest that persistence in such a
course would make it impossible for
Great Britain to continue the partner
ship.
British Confident of Success
An American spokesman has already
indicated that if reduction Of naval
armament according to existing rela-
tive strength proves unacceptable
there remains but one alternative
naval competition. There is no repre-
sentative Of Great Britain here who
will admit that that empire should or
could engage in such race.
But the British have not betrayed
the slightest anxiety about the success
Of the Hughes proposals. The depart
ure for home Of Admiral Beatty was a
marked indication of the British feel
ence, and on Saturday the British dele
cation is going to New York and will
not return until the following Wednes-
day. Some Of the British were suffi-
ciently sanguine to-day to hint that
the naval issue would be settled af-
fair before they started back to Wash
ington. The most important business
they have in New York is a dinner as
guests of the Engli sh- Speaking Union,
at which Arthur j. Balfour is to speak,
Press Pessimism Unjustified

night that the pessimistic tone of the
press was quite justified and that

trophic ending of the conference as

This same authority said that he

The Japanese argument for 10-10-7
ratio is still made on their claim
that unfinished shipping should not
count as naval strength. In the Hughes
proposals the British have been cred
tied with a small percentage of
strength, even for those projected post
Jutland Hoods, where material has been
assembled but construction has not

the American experts have information
indicating that she Is precisely in the

prcssod Ii Washington during the last

Thus far the Japanese have kept as
silent az the American delegation on
the question Of submarines, Since Mr..
Balfour made clear that Great Britain
believed the only solution OF the sub
marine problem was it's abolition, all
parties to the discussion have adhered
to the proposition that the question OF
auxiliary shipping should wait on the
settlement of the capital ship issue.
British Oppose Submarines
The British point Of view was rctcr-
atcd again to-day, however. The Eng
lish delegates are still persuaded that
the undersea boat should be abolished

and surprise to every good Englishman
That Mr.. Balfour seems to survive the
ordeal is cause for added wonder.
Such "a thing could only be possible
in these strange United States, where
people seem to pay very little atten-
tion to the traditions Of Downing Street
and the British Empire.
From tho point OF view Of the British
Mr., Hughes certainly started some
ness at tho conference, he decided to
continue his daily meetings with the
newspaper men. The fact that the
American Secretary of State did this
made it hard for tho British not to
follow suit. What are the traditions
Of an empire between friends?
The novelty Of removing the pillars
Of the empire from their pedestals,
though it shocks the British corre-
spondcnts, apparently fascinates them.
They are generally foremost in asking
questions of the British representa-
tives. Cockney voices and university
voices with strong English accents are
constantly being raised to ask some
point. But there is often q note Of
hesitation among these British voices
which is lacking when the Americans
question Mr.. Hughes. 1t looks as if the
Brltons had difficulty in realizing that
their questions put so informally should
yet receive due consideration.
Perhaps this very difference caused
one OF the best known British CORE
spondents to ask Mr.. Balfour for the
names of the two American advisers on
n certain committee when these names
were written in the communique which
the correspondent at the moment held
in his hand. 1t was a relief for some
of the Americans to see that the art of
asking foolish questions is not alto
gether confined to these United States.
When their thoughts are not occu-
led with the conference the Britons
are busy discovering America. At the
present moment they are awaiting with
curiosity the convening Of the new
Congress and are specializing as to the
intricacies of American politics. Fol-
lowing the dangerous policy of seeking
II parallel to the Paris conference they
assume that because former President
Wilson and his Congress were at odds,
the same situation is to be expected
with Mr.. Harding. Envisaging a pos
slble treaty they are speculating upon
its ratification in much the same spirit
as they would embark upon the hunt
ing Of the shark. Their knowledge Of
American politics is about as compre-
hensive as the chart which the bell
man used. and their great fear IS that
when they discover their quarry they
Will find that the shark is boojum.

Ftom Tho Tsibuns's Washington Buredu
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Right
hon. Arthur James Balfour, Lord
president Of the Council, was at homo
this afternoon in the Navy building.
Mr.. Balfour wore what would be de-
scribed by the experts who write in
theatcr programs about "what the
young men will wear" ss sack suit
of dark serge. Contrary to the advice
in the best programs, he had on a
boiled shirt, which should be reserved
for evening wear, and low cut collar
with a small black bow tic. Mr.. Balfour
affects the very latest style of tucking
the ends OF his tie under the tips Of
the collar. His sack suit gives the illu-
sion of being frock coat. thereby
strengthening the impression that he
belongs to the old-fashioned school Of
Clergyman scholar. A certain embar-
rassment evidenced in the nervous
clutching at the lapcls of his coat by
his slender hands gives an appearance
of shyness that adds to his charm. His
fine white hair and rosy complexion
and his expression of slightly absent
minded kindliness complete the ilu-
sion that he Is man to whom sermons
and books mean much more than the
problems q state
When he rises to speak. smiling
gently and gazing at the ceiling. Mr..
Balfour picks his words delicately and
carefully, as if the search for the right
phrase were a fine art. In measured
periods and we'll balanced cadences he
expresses his thoughts clearly and
musically. To the inquirng reporter
who seeks to elicit an indiscretion he
replies with suave candor, neatly avoid
ing any reference TO the indiscreet
point. Where little sermon on sub
marines is appropriate he expands with
delight of the born orator, enriching
his statements by frequent references
to the lessons Of history Where to
reply while saying nothing is neces
sary, he phrases his answers in a rich
vocabulary. In fact, Mr.. Balfour can be
noncommittal with greater grace than
any other man in Washington.
To the British mind the idea Of Mr..
baifour being subjected to the inquis-
itorial attacks of newspaper men is
a severe shock. They do not order
these matters thus in England That
the Lord President of the Council
should have to submit to this instead
of to the discreet interpretations in
the House of Commons is departure
from long cherished tradition which
is constant source of mixed horror

Haste for Navy Action Ebhs
Prior to November Ii the Japanese
would much have preferred to have the
conference consider only naval ar,na-
ment limitations. and 60 leave the
Racife and Far Eastern questions to
negotiations between the powers in
cerestcd--which for tho most part
meant between Japan and the United
States.
Then Japan, when she first came TO
the conference, was in favor OF taking
up naval armament first and Pacific
and Far Eastern questions later. The
tEo0ght OF some Of her people at that
time was that IL a settlement of the
naval armament could be achieved.
then the Pacific and Far Eastern uues-
tlons could be allowed to drag along
without anything more real than a
pretended solution, which would leave
conditions actually pretty much as they
are.
But with the sweeping moves curtail-
ing some of the privileges which Japan
has enjoyed in China there has come a
feeling Of apprehension among the
= Japanese, with the result that they now
want very much to know Just how far
this policy of sacrifice--for Japan--is
going TO be carried before they burn
all their bridges on the naval arna-
meut situation.
