One of the mysteries Of the Washing
ton conference is the American advisory
committee. No one seems quite to know
how the members of the committee oc-
cupy themselves. They have offices for
the most part in the Navy building.
The functions of the advisory commit
tee were described by a New England
newspaper man attending the confer
ence as something akin to those OF the
'side Judge" In Vermont. He said that
it had been a custom for many years
to appoint what is called a "side judge
to sit with the real judge in the courts
of the Green Mountain state. The rsids
judge" Is supposed to take the lay view
of the cases argued before the court
and to give the judge the benefit OF
his advice. One of the ''side judges
was asked by friend if he ever gave
the judge advice.
"Well. Henry" replied the side
judge 81 been sitting with the judge
he asked my opinion so far was when
he come into the court room and said:
Cold as hell. amt it?' "
But the advisory committee. which.
by the way. is made up of distinguish :
ed men and women, including it's head.
Gen. Pershing, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt of the Navy. and former
Senator Salisbury of Delaware. has
very useful function. 1t is designed
to act as buffer for the American
delegation to the conference. when
persons appear or write in with sug-
gestions as to how the conference
should be run. All of these plans are
heard or read, by the advisory com
mittee. and il any Cf them seem 20
have merit it is passed along to the
American delegation for its consider
alton.

the United States Senate press gal
lery. known to practically all the
newspaper men of prominence in this
country. is helping to handle the press
arrangements for the Washington
| conference. Jim" as he is familiarly
called. is tall. raw-boned, a bundle of
energy. He was caught in new pose
| this week, however. The delegates
were leaving meeting in the Pan
American building. A doorman. with
a large megaphone, was calling the
aut tomobiles and announcing the dis
tinguished foreigners as they left the
building.
"'rhe French ambassador. NJ. Jusse-
rand" he sang out. for the benefit
of the waiting throng.
At that moment Jim" Preston, hat
pulled down on one side. mustache
bristling, dashed out of the door.

The Washington conference is fairly
reeking with publicity. There were
doubts as to whether everything in
connection with the conference would
be hushed up. and the public al
lowed to know nothing of the de-
liberations. Not So In the first
place, Secretary Hughes launched his
now historic naval limitation pro-
gram at the opening session. Two
other open sessions of the conference
have followed. and the overworked
newspaper man is finding difficulty
keeping up with the various confer
ences arranged for the press by the
various delegations. Here is a sam
pie of the ordinary days work for

SAYS PREPARATIONS
CANNOT Be PAID
German Industrial Expert
Sees Blow to Nation in
Dye Competition.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, November 25.-Privy
Councillor Duisberg, general manager
of the Farben Fabriken. formerly the
Friedrich Bayer Company, speaking
yesterday before representatives of
the German chemical industry, said l.
would be impossible for Germany
from her own resources, to make her
reparations payments due mex
January and February.
Should the Ruhr basin eventual"
be occupied, he said, the results would
not be so fatal as frequently sup
posed. We have already had &"
endure worse" he added.
Sees Blow at Dye Makers.
A systematic effort was bein%
made, he declared, to destroy the
competitive power of the German
chemical industry by representatives
interested in the industries of other
countries which were compelled to
develoS their own dye manufactures
when the war severed them from the
German supply.
Denying that the German chemical
industry constituted a war menace
Herr Duisberg asserted that, due to
Overproduction in the chemical pro-
duction and the waning consumption
in Germany. the industry this year
had fallen to half its former peace
time production. and that eXporta-
tions had been seriously hampered by
tariffs designed to protect the
infant industries Of other countries.
Hopes for Adjustment.
Should this campaign cripple or
destroy the German industry. the
speaker declared, Germany's ability
to meet her reparations payments
would be gravely impaired. and "a
large percentage of our population
condemned to hunger" He eX-
pressed the hope that an economic
understanding throughout the world
would eventually be reached.

sion which are necessary. to lay the
basis for agreements on the various
subjects being considered. There is
every disposition to hurry the work
as fast as possible. The French are
urging that all possible speed be
made, and the United States delega-
tion, not to mention that of Japan and
the other nations, is backing up the
effort to get early action by the con-
ference. But it is necessary to give
the delegations opportunity to discuss
various points raised amoag them
selves. Furthermore, it is necessary
to allow an opportunity to get into
communication with home govern
ments and receive their advice and
instructions.

ference is working through the fol-
lowing instrumentalities:

committees on limitation Of arma-
ment and on far eastern questions.

FRENCH DEPUTIES
GET RECRUIT BILL
Measure Indefinite, But Con-
sidered Capable of
100000 Men.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS. November 26.-The govern
ment's recruiting bill to raise nu-
cleus Of professional soldiers as the
stabilizer of a smaller conscripted
army under the proposed eighteen
months service was filed today with
the army commission Of the chamber
Of deputies. This bill Is still indefi-
mite in it's terms, but it's advocates
consider it capable Of producing 100.-
600 men, who will form the frame
work of a big army in case Of general
mobilization.
The bill. coupled with Premier Bri-
ands declaration at Washington Of
a reduction in the army, has resulted
in much discussion among military
men and parliamentarians.
1t is agreed that the country de-
mands eighteen months service, and
this probably will be adopted. but
as to what force France should main
tain. This doubtless will take a fore
most place in the debates In the
chamber and senate after NJ. BRAND re-
turns to Paris.
Would Maintain 25O,OOO.
Eighteen months service. it is esti-
mated by the members of the army
commission of the chamber. would
maintain a force Of quarter Of a
million men. This is based on the
fact that there are about 100000 men
or military age annually, out of whom
could be drafted about 10000. Some
think. however. that there would be
such pressure in time of peace for the
most liberal exemptions that each
class would yield only 10000 to 120.-
900 men.
From these, therefore. could be
raised an army of a class and a half.
amounting to 10000 to 10000. In
cruited from among professional SOL
dters. as we'll as Moroccans. Sengalese
and orientals.
Desire to Reduce Army.
Members of the commission assert
that the plans of the military au-
thorities call for total force ap-
preaching half million men. But
there is an evident desire by the
chamber to reduce the army to the
country's safety.
NJ. Barthou, the war minister, an
nounced in the chamber on THURSDAY
that reduction Of service to eighteen
months was dependent upon the pas<
sage of the physical training bill and
OF African units. This physical train
ing bill provided obligatory military
training from sixteen years of age
until conscription.
Former Soldiers Can Enlist. .
The new recruiting bill approved
by the cabinet Thursday authorizes
the enlistment of former soldiers up
to the age Of thirty-six years. for
two years and upward. What in
ducement will be offered to attract
professional soldiers has not been
determined. The whole matter of the
reorganization Of the army is still
pending.
The three years service law has
not yet been abrogated, but the gov
ernment. with parliament's approval.
is applying the two-year plan. The
army. numbering now about half a
million, is being reduced by the
evacuation of Cilicia. from which
place a shipload of the class of 1919
had returned. Others will return as
shipping becomes available.

WOULD END WARS
BY BANNING BABIES
Mrs. H. T. Upton Tells Club
That Women Will Refuse to
Bear Children to Be Shot.

Peace will come to the world be-
cause the women will not produce
war-loving generations. They will
refuse to bear children to be shot
and killed in warfare. And women,
who in former times have given their
whole-hearted devotion to the home,
will in the future increase this de-
votion until by bestowing 1t upon the
nation and it's government war VIII
be made impossible and unthinkable.
These predictions were made dur
ing an address yesterday afternoon
at the luncheon forum of the Wom-
ems City Club by Mrs. Harriet Tay-
lor Upton.
Asks Support for Conference.
She described the situation at
tendant upon the international con-
ference for limitation of armament
as one which will need not only the
undivided attention of each delegate
the support of the people whom the
delegates represent. And upon the
latter. she said. falls the greater part
of the burden on which the success
Of the discussion hinges.
1T is terrible to think that nations

to follow the doctrine of Christ and
to walk in the ways of peace. were

world.
come peace. There may be pessimists
on this subject. 1 nave talked 10
military men, and they tell me.
.Bosh, there has always been war.
and there will always be war. try
to talk to laymen. but they will not
talk freely with me. probably because
I am only a woman and not sup
posed to know very much about such
things.
Sees Power in Vote.
But since we have gained power
at the polls and what might be called
a weapon in the vote, we are in a
position to get what we want. Men
are afraid of us in politics. They
don't know what we are going to do
next. But we've got our weapon,
whether it is a pitchfork, or a ham
mer. or a mallet. and we know. what
we want when it comes to the ques.
ton of peace, so do not let US be
afraid to go out and get it.
II have the greatest confidence i'll
American womanhood. 1 am sure
that body will give as great devo-
ton to the nation as they have given
in the past to the home alone. Don
let a single person discourage you by
saying that we will always have war
because we always have aad war.
We have not always had he SUBJ
marine, or the airplane, or the auto
mobile, or the railroad. We did rot
always have them. but we have them
now. So with peace, universal peace.
We might not yet have 1t, but :-ere
going to get it, and we will have it
always.
Mothers VIII Protest.
Another reason why we are going
to do away with war is because
mothers will refuse to bear children
to be shot. The mothers Of the ma
tions will protest against it In this
manner. And when women cry out I
notice that generally the other fell
low sits up and takes notice."
At the speakers table were Mrs.
Laura Bradley, who was in charge Of
the forum: Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mus
sey. Mrs. Lyman B. Sworn1stedt, Mrs.
Ellis Meredith, Miss Emily New, Mrs.
Robert E. Wilson and Miss Gertrude
