Treaty Supporters Gain Strength After Bitter De- bate In Dail; Leaders Oppose Further Delay
Republican A. p. Leased wIre1

DUBLIN, Dec. 20.-After today's session of the Dail Eireann it was clear that decision on the treaty would not be taken be fore Thursday afternoon at the earliest; some mem bers, among them Michael Collins, were even of the opinion that ad- sournment over the holidays may be necessary.
 Arthur Griffith, head of the pleni- Dotentiaries, and Eamonn de Valera, who is strongly opposing the treaty, are agreed, however, that suspense would be bad for the country. As a matter of fact, judging by the att.- tude in Dublin, the whole country is fairly sick with uncertainty and anx- iety.
 It was made evident today that the .Dail Eireann will tolerate no form of cloture. Twenty additional mem bers, the speaker announced, have sent in their names to be heard.
 Observers were of the opinion that the prospects, of ratification have improved. One speaker sharply criticised the attitude of some of the members, suggesting that though they would vote against the treaty, they really hoped it would be ap proved. This tended to confirm re- ports that several deputies, though unwilling to expose the country to the consequences of rejection, wish To maintain their personal position as true republicans.
 The main force of the attack on them was based on the argument that even de Valera has abandoned the idea of a republic and framed an oath recognizing the king as head of the community of nations with which 1r. .a se Ia

 Denounces DaiI Cabinet
 Dr. McCartan denounced the whole Dali cabinet, saying they all went into the boat of British imperialism. He was an uncompromising repub- hcaR. recognizing kings as out of date. and he objected to any asso- ciation with the British empire.
 In conclusion, he saw no way out, for there was a divided cabinet. d divided Dali. a divided army and a divided country. He would abstain from voting.

tent of German privileges and claims in Shantung.
 Let me repeat that principals of these agreements was reached in less than five weeks. If it had not been the case that the spirit of Japan were in the fullest accord with that of the other great nations that have suffered in the recent war. this agreement could not have been con- cluded. It shows how unreasonable was any doubt that prevailed before MT. Hughes made his historic speech. It shows how unfair was the charge that Japan was militaristic in spirit.
 You will see if you have not all ready seen, that Japan will rejoice in these agreements. The opposition to them will be negligible in our country. As long as Japan is as sured that she need fear no assault upon her own independence and need contemplate no dangerous aggres- sions upon the security of China, you will find she will play the part of peace. The security of China is vital to her. as is obvious, and she rejoices not only because of the evidence that | this. conference has given that she need not fear for herself. but be- | cause of the evidence of security ! which has also been given to her great and worthy neighbor.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Interpre- tation of the four power treaty signed by arms delegates as a moral pledge binding the nations to go to war was declared by Prince Tokugawa tonight to be so far fetched that it needed no refutation. He spoke at dinner given in his honor by Lindsay Russell, founder of the Japan so ciety.
 "The treaty" he added, lis a moral pledge of the four powers to consult one another in friendly manner to maintain the general peace in the Pacific. As such no nation can re- fuse to accept it.
 Reviewing the work of the con- ference he said it was ''remarka ble thing that we have done" He en- phasized that in a little more than four weeks the great naval powers had agreed on terms that were all but Identical with the original pro- gram laid down by the American delegation.
 And I may add" he continued, agreement between China and Japan for the settlement of what has been called the 'Shantung question: More properly and fairly that question might be called the 'Tsingtao ques- tion.' for Japan, after driving Ger many out of Tsingtao at consider able cost in blood and money, did not reserve to herself even the full ex-

Harding Says Difference Of Opinion Will Not Be Permitted To Embarass Work of Conference
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-A differ ence in view as to the application of the new four power Pacific treaty has arisen between President Harding and the American arms delegates. but the president announced in state ment tonight that it would not be permitted to embarrass the work of the conference.
 In the presidents personal opin- ion, as outlined today to newspaper men, the principle islands of the Japanese empire are not to be re- garded as included among insular ter ritories to which the treaty applies.
 The American delegation on the other hand, agreed with the represen- tatives of the other powers before the treaty was signed that the principal Japanese group were to be covered under the agreement along with all the other Pacific islands under the sovereignty of the United States, Great Britain. France and Japan.
 In his statement, issued after a two hour conference with Senators Lodge and Underwood, of the American delegation, the president said he had no objection" to the interpretation agreed by this governments pleni- DOLenll8IleS. put dSSulHtu IIldl NAAC spirits of the conference contemplated respect for territory in every way | that would promote peace.
 The presidents original announce ment of his views created a stir among all delegates and although none was willing openly to take issue with him, there were intimations that such an interpretation of the treaty was certain to be challenged event ually from several quarters. His later | statement generally was accepted by | the foreign representatives as having | determined the attitude of the Ameri- can government. It follows:

 PREMIERS MAKE PROGRESS IN PREPARATIONS CONVERSATIONS
Republican A. p. Leased WireI


 LONDON, Dec. 2O.-Not much progress has been made thus far, it was learned tonight. in the conver- sations between Premiers Briand of France and Lloyd George of Great Britain on German separations and kindred questions. The two met again this morning but did not get together this afternoon. Talking to the Associated Press tonight, NJ. Bri- and said he was unable to give any details of the conversations which ranged over a wide field. including separations and the intentions of France should Germany fail to meet her financial obligations due Janu- ary 15. He emphasized that his con- versations with Lloyd George did not constitute a conference. which could be called only after an accord had been reached in an exchange of views.
 To an observation that today's London papers spoke of the French naval puzzle" at the Washington conference and suggested that NJ. Briand's recent statement did not square with the announcement of the French delegation. he replied warmly that there were no such di- vergencies as had been insinuated. On the contrary. he declared, he was in full agreement with the Ere nch delegation and the claims they had put forward in Frances behalf.
 NJ. Briand complained somewhat bitterly of what he termed the sus- picion with which certain quarters had judged France S defensive naval measures.
 People seem to forget" declared
 NJ Briand, that France is surround ed by three seas-the North sea. the Atlantic ocean. and the Mediterran can. Moreover, France needs a navy to protect her distant colonies with their 6O,000,O 900 inhabitants.
 Tt is curious that as soon as France mentions h<r need of a navy the people raise their hands in hOr- TOT and cry French militarism,' whereas the past two years have sufficiently shown France Lnsw"rv- ! ingly pursues a. policy of peace. You know. We are getting rather tired of this sort of talk" He maintained reserve on the subject of the ealing of a five power conference to in clude representative of Russia and Germany to solve the European financial problem, although he ad- mitted such a move would likely be | highly desirable with view to eX- tricating Europe from the financial morass. In other French sourcesS There 1 however. it was indicated Russia s participation in such conference would be strongly opposed by France. Neither Louis r.

tire volume of horsepower into poss- ible national use.
 "Ore of the large problems of the river is the constant threat of the lower river to break through its bank and to flood the Imperial valley, where something like S100, 900, 900 worth of property is at stake. Such a break occurred a few years ago and it cost several million dollars to re- store the river.
 ITO secure a definite control of the flood waters and systematic develop ment of it's power possibilities and give maximum storage for irrigation, the river must be considered as a single problem in the interests of all the states and the nation. If such a coordinated long view plan is worked out it is anticipated that enough water will be available for all the land available to the river and enough power for all of the community.
 Tt Is the duty of the commission to determine a plan for such develop ments and to make recommendations to congress. A number of private concerns are anxious to undertake the development of the power an6 water. The municipalities of south ern California are also willing to un- | dertake various projects. One of the i first questions before the commission | will be to determine whether con | struCtion of the dams along the rive,
 should be undertaken by the federa 1 government or whether they should be allotted to these different interests 1 In any event. whatever program i undertaken it must be undertaken from the point of view Of the cooU 1 dinated whole and with view to tn greatest national benefit.

 that the first construction should b
 a dam about 500 feet high at Boulde Canyon in Arizona, costing abou
 $40, 100000 which would give an ins

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-None of the six witnesses appearing today be- fore the senate committee was able to give first hand evidence to sup port charges by Senator Watson, Democrat of Georgia, that American soldiers had been hanged wits:out trial in France.
 George II. Taylor of Philadelphia, thin and frail and under treatment, as he himself explained, for epilipsy, declared he had seen F soldiers hanged, or one more than the num- Der officially listed by the depart ment as executed in accordance with court martial verdicts. Taylor tesd- fled at first he had seen three, and then under direct questioning in creased his figure to four, jumping finally to twelve. All. he declared. were put to death in and around Is- Sur -Tille from April to June, 1919.
 In no instance could he say he knew whether any or all of the twelve had been tried by a military court.
 Because of the evident physical weakness of the witness Senator Watson suggested that army officers. including Colonel Walter Bethel, as sistant judge advocate general, leave the room explaining that Taylor was subject to epiliptic attacks and that the presence of the officers might disturb him. But the former soldier announced he wanted the officers to remain.

 A bottle containing ten sheets of paper. each with a message signed by one of the crew. was found on one of the Orkney Islands, off the Scottish coast. Nine were written in Spanish. One in English said:
 We are sinking in mid ocean and the captain had deserted us. There are ten men left behind. The stew ard of the ship. Faithfully yours, George Matthews. Good bye
