was voted down. Then National Com
mander Emery was restored to the post
of chairman Of the meetings, in an
effort to keep secret the fight of the
insurrectionists when the Leopoldina
reached this country.
The dissatisfaction expressed yester-
day is not all local. Delegates from
nearly every state in the Union were
on the tour, and it was said that near
ly all of them returned to their home $
determined to insist that their state
organizations take up a campaign
against the national executive.
The only member of the headquarters
staff who could be reached in New York
lag, night was John J. Wicker jr.. Of
Virginia, who was the business man
ager Of the tour. He denied that there
was revolt within the delegation, and
said the reason Judge Hanley was Sc
lected to preside over the sessions on
the ship was that there were few
disgruntled members on board who
were going to criticize Emery, and he
felt it would be embarrassing to him
to be in the chair at such time.
Wicker added that the discomforta
of the voyage were shared by all. the
delegates and pointed to the fact that
he himself had stateroom in the hold
on the return trip as evidence of his

equally we'll.
~The complaint Of the delegates is
not confined to the poor hotel accom-
modations they were given. They are
dissatisfied with the attitude of the
higher officers toward them during the
ceremonies on the journey. They de-
clare it was not in conformity with
the spirit of the Legion and that it
must not happen again.
Among the complainants who propose
to carry their grievance to the national
convention at Kansas City, il neces-
sary, are the following:
Colonel e. A. Simmons, commander
Of the Kings County Post and one of
the Legion's leaders IN welfare work:
the Rev. Father James j. Halligan,
chaplain of the 77th Division during
the war; Bernard Flood, of the La
fayette police DEPARTMENT. Post, and
Richard 3. O'Connor, who represented
the Thomas b. Wanamaker Post on
the trip.
At the New York state convention
of the Legion, to be held in James,
town this week, it is probable that a
resolution will be adopted condemning
the attitude of the officers criticised.

U. S. Plans to Open Food

Who Seems Favorably In

MOSCOW, Sept. 10 (By The Asso-

senting the American Relief Admins
tration, has discussed with Leo Kam-
eneff, liaison officer between the Soviet
government and the Relief Admins
tration, the plan of the administration
for warehouses in Russia. M. KAN
eneff appeared favorably inclined to-
ward the plan.
1t is likely food warehouses will be
opened in several Russian cities similar
to those recently closed in Germany,
which will enable persons living in the
United States and western Europe to
have food delivered to relatives and
friends in Russia by sending food
drafts ranging in value from $40 to $50
The Relief Administration already has
about $2,500,000 worth of sugar. cocoa
rice, milk and fats in Moscow and
Petrograd for child feeding. part of
which Immediately will be available for
issuance against the drafts if an agree
ment for their use is completed. The
only change necessary in the Hoover
Litvinoff agreement would be consent
by the Soviets to permit the free entry
of food for drafts, q guaranty that It
will not be used for rationing and that
all the profits from the sales will be
used for child feeding,

Arms Decision
Of League Aids
Hardil1g's Plan
Diplomats at Capital Read
Into Surrender Emphatic
Endorsement of Original
Purpose Behind Meeting
3 Nations Hold Solution
Settlement of Questions in
Far East May Lead to
Early Decision on Fleets
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-.-The COM
plete and almost eager surrender Of
jurisdiction by the League of Nations
on the question, Of naval armament
limitation to the Harding conference
came as big surprise to official and
diplomatic Washington tonight 1t is
regarded as perhaps the. most sweeping
triumph which the Washington con-
ference idea has scored in advance of
the formal meeting, excluding, Of
course, the acceptance of the invita-
tions by the powers concerned
AS matter of fact there are only
three nations in the "big league" naval
armament race. These are Britain,
Japan and the United States. Two
discussions here, France and Italy, but
they were invited primarily because the
original idea of President Harding was
to have limitation of land forces also
agreed upon, if possible.
The three other nations which prob
ably will participate-C China, Belgium
and Holland-will be restricted to the
discussions of Pacific and Far Eastern
problems. China, already invited, was
in the invitation. Belgium and Hol-
land, whose formal invitations have
not gone forward because the consents
Of all the other powers have not been
obtained. here. will be asked also on
that basis.
France has abandoned big ship
building in this years budget, and
Italy has shown no intention Of getting
into q scramble to have more power
full fleet than any other nation.
The Harding idea all along has been
that if the three nations which were
giving promise of piling up their naval
budgets could be gotten to agree upon
curtailment, if not an abandonment,
of their building programs, the prob
lem Of naval ar1naments could easily
be settled for the entire world
The only drawback was that between
the two or three nations concerned there
were several sharp controversies which
apparently had the seed of war in them.
So the Administration thought, and still
thinks, that only by the solution Of
these Pacific and Far Eastern questions,
thus restoring friendly feeling and re-
moving the causes of friction between
the United States and Japan, could the
path to the end sought be achieved.

.condiriors from year to year
= The Lithuanian delegation to the
league conference to-day demanded in
open session that the Council take steps
to bring about the evacuation of Wilma
by the irregular Polish troops of Gem
ersl Leligoushi. Both the Poles and the
Llthuanians were represented at the
session, and it seemingly was evident
that the Villa dispute was far from
having been settled, notw;th standing
the fact that fortnight ago it was
announced thai an agreement had been
reached
The Lithuanian delegation to-day
vigorously supported a number of pro-
posed changes n the plan of Paul
Hymans. Belgium representative at
the conference, under which Wilma
would be an autonomous community in
federal Lithuania. Professor Simon
Askenazy, of Poland, said his country
would never accept settlement so
unfavorabie to Poland.
Debate or White Slavery
An attempt by the Assembly of the
League TO negotiate and put into effect
an international convention for the
regulation OF the white slave traffic
developed "a sharp debate during the
Assembly session to-day. The human
itarian committee of the Assembly is
considering the proposed regulations,
and the delegates have expressed anx-
lety that the Assembly do something
which may be pointed to as q prac-
flcal achievement along this lire it
has been proposed that the delegates
ask their respective governments by
wire Tor full powers to sign the con-
vention, which has been prepared by a
special commission sitting since the
first Assembly of the League.
The French delegation raised the
question today of whether the pro-
posed that the political committee of
the Assembly be asked to pronounce
on its constitutionality before an ex-
pertinent is tried. Gabriel Hanotaux
said this was getting away from che
covenant of the league and warned
the commission it was on dangerous
grounds when it was attempting to
get the various powers to give theil
delegates by wire instructions to sign
binding agreements.
French Protest Overruied
The committee decided against the
French protest and viii recommend
that the Assembly adopt the project
presented by Arthur ]. Paltour, which
supplements the regulations already
in force by provisions for the extradi
ton of persons accused of or con
victed of this traffic, for an obliga
tory inquiry by agents before pro
curing employment abroad for womer

cussing at the Washington conference
not only questions regarding the Ear
East. but also matters affecting the
American coast, including Mexico. and
also Australia, says Viscount Takaaki
Kato, president of the Kensei-kai, or
Opposition, party, in statement issued
here.
The withdrawal of fortifcations from
all islands in the Pacific, the neutral
igation of the Panama Canal, the re-
moval of limitations on coastwise trade
throughout the world and the settle
ment of racial discrimination on the
principle of the co-existence of man
kind and the spirit of justice and hu-
manity should be included in Japan's
proposals at the conference, ls the opin-
ion of the National Policy Investigation
Association This body was organized
to educate the public concerning the
conference.
In addition to the foregoing demands
the association believes self-defense
ornaments should be reduced to the
minimum. The organization also urges
that the sovereignty and integrity OF
China should be respected and that all
her customs rights should be restored.
1t holds that the right of Siberian peo-
ple to govern themselves should be
recognized, and that the "open door"
should be inaugurated in all countries
touching the Pacific.
The army and navy advisory DEL
egates going to the Washington meet
ing will sail on the steamship Korea
Maru October l.
"The Jill Shimpo" says that if the
Japanese military authorities insist
that this country must maintain an
army Of twenty-one divisions, they
must be prepared to give satisfactory
answer to the powers represented at
Washington when questioned as to the
reasons for such large army.

Irish Cabinet Drafted

AU Declared Agreed in Desire

DUBLIN, Sept. 19--Ihe members of
the Dali Eireann Cabinet reviewed the
situation this afternoon, giving par
ticular attention to Premier Lloyd
Georges kilograms. At the conclusion
of the session reply to the British
Prime Minister was drafted and dis
patched Immediately by Mr.. de Valera.
So far as the Sim Fein position is
concerned it did not appear to change
it in any way whatsoever.
= At the same time it is announced
that MIR. de Valera's desire for con-
ference is strong, as is that of his
colleagues. The members OF the Dali
Eiceann do not believe that the notes
forwarded TO Efr. Lloyd George were

state. AS some OF them express it,
tle;r idea of a conference is one which
may lead to association with the Brit
ish commonwealth, and, if that failed
would leave them in no worse position
morally than when they entered it.
The general impression among their
supporters seen at the Mansion House
to-day was that conference would be
held.

merchant marine you may Judge from
the fact that the navy of the United
States would be Of very little value as
u defense of the United States and our
possessions If it were not for the
merchant marine.
"ln the absence of merchant ma
rine to furnish the transport for the
immense amount of supplies that n
feet would need, that fleet would be
restricted in its operations to a COM
paratively short distance from its
nearest base.
IF our fleet had to be sent to make
an attack at a long distance across the
ocean it would require something like
$4,000 tons of supplies day, including
fuel and all other supplies. This is one
of the essential elements that enter
into the consideration of what we call
the logistics of military operation,
and is one of the subjects which re-
ceive the closest study of those who
are charged with the preparation OF
naval plans.
CAS- remember my conversation with
Senator Glass, it was to the effect that,
with the restriction Of our present
shipping laws, it would be very difficult
for our country to develop q merchant
marine commensurate with our needs. y
Glass Sticks to His Words
LYNCHBuRG, Va, Sept. 19.-Com-
menting on the statement by Rear Ad-
miral William s. Sims that he was mis-
taken when in recent Senate debate
he quoted the naval officer as express
ing opposition to development of a
merchant marine by the United States,
Senator Carter Glass at his home here
to-day reiterated his former statement
and said he recalled distinctly what
Admiral Sims had told him in their
London conversation.
''It may be that l was mistaken in
what Admiral Sims meant to say" the
Virginia Senator said, "but | was not
in the least mistaken in what he did
say: =,
miral Sims declared, as a final word
on the subject, that the United States
was traditionally opposed to ship
subsidy, remarked to him: 80 have
I been ever since reading Ben Butter
worth's speech in Congress forty years
ago, but, subsidy or no subsidy, I do
ever again allow their country to be
caught in the fix it found itself in at
the outbreak of this war
"To repeat" said Senator Glass, Cad
niral Sims very likely knows better
than / what he intended to say, but
know perfectly we'll that he did say
precisely what I incidentally stated he
said when I recalled the incident in
my Senate remarks. Two of my Con-
gressional colleagues were present
when the statement was made, and the
three Of us discussed the amazing ma
ture Of it after leaving the Office of
Admiral Sims. However, wish it to
be understood that I did not present
the matter in any controversial spirit
in my brief remarks in the Senate. nor
in any sense of implied criticism of
Sims"
