DEATH OR PRISON
IN FORTUNES WAKE
FOR MAIL ROBBERS
LOoting of Government Trains
Now Dangerous and Pro
fitless Business.
IN Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. Mo, Dec f.
Robbing government trains is a dan
gerous and unremunerative occupa-
ton. according TO Joe p. Johnston.
post office inspector here in charge
of the Kansas City district.
Mr.. Johnston admits registered
mail robberies have been in distinct
vogue recently. but insists they do
not really offer the opportunity to
get rich quick that those who at
tempt them believe exists.
Rather, says Mr.. Johnston. they
offer a remarkable opportunity TO
get killed or sent to prison quick.
Then he recites the fates that have
overtaken many mail bandits.
They all get killed or sent TO
prison in the long run" he remarks,
"and usually it isn't such a very long
run. either"
Robbing the mails, the veteran
post Office Inspector says. probably
will be less attractive than ever since
the government has stationed ma
rine guards on trains carrying valu-
able mails. and provided escorts OF
devil dogs" for mail trucks. and
guards for rooms where mail IS
handled. The instruction given the
marines are very explicit. II is a
guards duty 10 know who is author
tied 10 handle mail. and allow no
one else TO handle It. 1t is his duty
in case anyone attempts 10 rob tie
mails. 10 take that person. dead or
alive. or be able to show a satisfac-
tory reason why. And the reason
needs to be q good one.
Under Secretary Denby's orders"
says Mr. Johnston. about the only
reason that IS considered valid IS
that the bandit has killed the ma
rine first"
There has been an epidemic OF
mail robberies recently" Mr.. John
ston continued. II believe the rea-
son IS that a lot OF young fellows be-
lieve there Is easy money in large
amounts 20 be had. That IS a mis-
take. Ordinarily the loot obtained
from registered sacks IS NOT easily
negotiable, and the bandit. even 81
he gets away with It, gets q small
proportion OF the value OF the loot"

SPECIAL RUSSIAN
DELEGATION JOINS
WORLD CONFEREES
Demand Withdrawal of Jap
anese Troops From Siberia
and Other Things.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A. Russia
appeared at the Washington confer
ence Sunday night in the arrival Of
a special deputation from the far
eastern republic of Chita to lay be-
fore the powers here the plea Of that
government for assistance in secur-
ing immediate withdrawal Of Japan
csc troops from Siberia.
Other purposes of the visit OF the
delegation, according 10 its mem
bers. are TO open trade relations with
foreign countries and to secure rec
ignition for the Chita administra-
ton.
There can be no development Of
the country or Of development OF
trade until the japanese troops are
withdrawn" the delega EN- declared
in a statement Sunday night, "as for
obvious reasons the presence Of these
troops prevents the utilization Of our
natural resources. The very name
of the republic signifies the import
ance Of tae Washington conference
for its people. The delegation hopes
10 be able to present its case TO the
conference in order to defend the in
terests of the far eastern republic"
The delegation is headed by Alexan-
der A Yazikoff, advisor Of the far
eastern government on economic
matters: B. L Skvirsky. former vice
minister for foreign affairs; P. y.
Karavaeff economist and editor. and
Gustav J. Farman The deputation
left Chita IN mid October. and has
been travelling steadily since, coming
by Shanghai and Vancouver.
Chairman Yazikoff IN the formal
statement OF the party. said the
United States government had in
vited Japan TO send troops TO Siberia
with American troops 70 aid the
Czecho- Slovaks and that all the pow
ers had guaranteed there would be
no interference with the sovereignty
or integrity OF Russia.

ARMS FARLEY
TAKES RECESS
TILL MIDWEEK
Only Informal Consultations
Are to be Held During
Next Few Days.
TOXIC REPLY AWAITED
Conferees Do Not Anticipate
Far-East Action Before
Late in the Week.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Dec A. The
arms conference is in recess unit
Wednesday. but for most OF the
delegates there is no rest from the
increasingly prominent informal
consultations" in which individuals
and small groups exchange views on
important phases of the negotiations
For the present these interviews
are concerned chiefly with collateral
elements of the situation, while
progress on the aH-important sub
ject of naval ratio awaits further
word from Toxic. The far eastern
discussions are to be resumed at a
meeting Of the committee OF the
whole on Wednesday, but il may be
late in the week before the Japanese
have received instructions from their
government warranting a further
step in the neval exchanges.
Naval Status secret
Like the deliberations of the less
er groups. the actual state of affairs
in regard to the naval ratio remains
secret with the result that in it's
present phase most OF the happen
ings Of the conference must remain
a mystery TO the public Even the
delegates OF some OF the nations rep
resented here are ignorant OF what
is in the minds OF the naval big
Three'-Hughes, Balfour and Kato
who are described as regarding II
as a matter of honor" not TO di-
vulge what happened at their two
hour conference on Friday night.
Since the big Three" is not a
regularly constituted subcommittee
of the conference, it's discussions are
not dealt with as formal" negotia-
tions in the Official public state-
ments OF the conference. Similarly.
the statements do not take into az
count at all the many meetings be-
tween various national spokesman at
which some or the real business Of
the negotiations has been informal
~" carried on.
Long Delay Explained.
The long delay in carrying forward
the naval discussions is explained by
the time required for the Japanese
delegates TO communicate with To-
kio. as we'll as by the importance
which the Japanese attach to the
present stage OF the negotiations.
1t is said in Japanese circles here
that the home officials doubtless will
not desire TO forward definite
statement OF the national attitude
until they have very thoroughly
canvassed sentiment throughout
Japan.
BY some Japanese the question OF
accepting or rejecting the American
proposal for a 5-5-3 naval ratio is
regarded as bringing Japan face to
face with one OF the important de-
cisiOns OF her history. Bound UP In
the problem are many of the vital
considerations Of national security
and the expectation here is that no
hasty action Will be taken.
New Suggestion Made.
The latest suggestion to gain cur
rency IN unofficial discussions here
is that the much discussed censor
tium OF foreign powers for China
may furnish the basis OF a plan by

Pres't Harding plans TO give his
message TO the new session Tuesday.

that, probably for the first time in
American history. the message &c
[ congress viii be delivered in the
presence Of members Of an interna-
ional conference Many Of the dele
gates TO the conference on arma-
ments are expected to attend.
Any action by the conference on
naval or army reduction IS regarded
az certain to be reflected in appro-
priatiOn bills for those services, and
leaders say. there probably Will be
frequent outbreaks Of discussion on
the floor concerning the arms con-
ference and its doings.

High Conferees Far From

in Deep Gloom.

BY Associated FresS-
LONDON. Dec. 4.-The Irish con-
ference reassembled in Downing ST.
at the official residence OF Premier
Lloyd George Sunday afternoon, TO
discuss the latest phases OF the Irish
situation.
Those present were Mr.. Lloyd
George. ]. Austen Chamberlain. Lord
OF the Privy Seal; Yiscount Birken-
had. Lord Chancellor and Sir Robert
s. Horne, Chancellor OF the Exche-
quer representing Great Britain, and
Arthur Grifth. Robert Barton and
George Gavan Duffy, representing the
Sim Feiners
The general impression of the sit
uation after the meeting was very
gloomy one. The Irishmen submitted
the result Of the Dali Eireann's eX-
animation OF the latest proposals Of
the government and pointed out
where they we're unacceptable. They
had said no more on Thursday night
than that the proposal required full
consideration and had not yielded
any points in dispute.
Principles Emphasized.
The meeting Of the Dali Eireann
cabinet-in Dublin Saturday emphas-
lied the principles involved In the
scheme, and the impression conveyed
was that no principle would be sacri-
feed TO gain listers assent. or TO put
Ulster In wrong If II refused assent
Premier Lloyd Georges difficulty
according to those in close touch with
him, Is that he cannot ask Ulster 20
agree to any terms which British OPP
inion would not endorse.
He IS firm in his stand that the
alliance question cannot be aban-
doned OF camoufiaged and this, il IS
said, has proved the most insuper-
able OF all the obstacles 20 a settle
ment. The proposal that the king
might be recognized as the head OF a
British federation OF free states. but
not as a king OF Ireland, was objected
20 by the British ministers. An at
tempt was made 20 divise some form
Of allegiance the Sim Fein might &C
cept. but this apparently proved IN
successful.
The crux OF partition was almost
equally serious. The Sim Fem re-
CARDS Irish unity as fundamental and
was firm that no PROPOSE aimed at
securing listers assent should prove
a possible permanent bar.
