LASSEN PEAK NOT
LIKELY TO ERUPT
No Danger From Mountain While It
Er1its Smoke and Steam.
(sy The Associated Pressl

REDDING, Calf, Dec. 24-Eruptions
are not liable to occur at Lassen peak,
the molly active volcano in the United
States proper. as long as the mountain
continues to emit smoke and steam, as
it isnow doing. according to NJ. E. Ditt-
mar, geologist, and authority on con-
ditions in the Lassen section here.
Dittmar, known as the father of
Lassen National park. which includes
the volcano and the country surround
ing it, recently returned from an extern
sive tour over the section.
The action of the volcano, the geolo-
gist declared, is similar to that of a
cape there is not any danger of an ex-
plosion but. If the steam is confined
and cannot escape. the pressure grad
ually increases until finally the boiler
blows up, just as the top of the noun
tain blows off if gas and steam inside
is confined.
There is a great deal of steam and
gas coming from the crooks in the
mountain. Dittmar reported Before the
big eruption Of 1915 there was very lit
tie steam emitted.
Several geysers have made their APP
pearance since the eruption in what is
known as the Devils Kitchen, one OF
the noted spots in the park In the
Devils Kitchen there are between 700
and 500 active hot springs, boiling
mud craters and geysers within an area
of 25 acres. Some of the geysers force
boiling water several feet into the air
and eject steam to 4 height OF several
hundred feet.
Boiling waters from the Kitchen
flow into the ICY cold waters of a near
by stream which has been named the
Riyulet StyN. 4 scenic highway IS
proposed through the park, touching
the Devils Kitchen. the Rivulet Styx
and giving a view Of the mountain.

COMPROMISE ON SUB
CONTROVERSY FAILS
Japs Refuse to Depart From
5-5-3 Ratio and French
Action Is Deferred.
lay The AssocIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-American
effort to compromise the submarine
controversy failed Of immediate sue
cess today before the arms conference
naval committee when Japan refused
to depart from "5-5-s" ratio proper
tion Of submersibles for her fleet and
French action was deferred pending
advices from Paris.
When the committee adjourned after
four hours debate to meet again next
Tuesday, some members OF the Ameri-
can group appeared discouraged over
the prospect OF an early agreement on
submarine. although negotiations are
to continue.
The American compromise plan pre-
sented after the British effort for COM
plete suppression of submarines had
been shelved. proposed $4,000 ton liIn-
itations for Great Britain and the
United states instead of the original
American figure Of 10000 tons each.
and virtually a status quo for other
powers.
The British delegation, failing to-
obtain favorable action on suppression
of submarines, accepted the new
American reduction scheme. The
French group indicated that it would
be unacceptable, but deferred fun an
swer pending Paris advsces. Japan
flatly held out for the full $4,000 tons
in submarines under the original
American "5-5-S" ratio plan. Italy ac-
cepted the compromise plan. condi-
toned on submarine tonnage parity
with France, the Italian delegation
contending that $1,000 tons would be
the correct limitation for both French
and Italian governments.
The French delegation indicated it
would not oppose parity with Italy in
submarines as well as capital ships but
withheld approval of any tonnage linn
itation Of less than 10000 tons suggest
ed by French experts.
Under status quo, France would
have about $4,000 tons in submersi-
bles.
The American group made 1t plain
that while it had great sympathy for
the British viewpoint in opposing all
submarine warfare. it was inclined to
agree with the American advisory
committee that submarines were a
legitimate weapon. 1t was said the
matter had been discussed with Presi-
dent Harding, and that the willingness
of the American government to pro-
ceed at some future date toward an
international discussion of submarine
warfare on wider basis than the
present conference had been indicated
It was also indicated that the
American delegation would bring into
the conference later a resolution con-
demning informal fashion for the five
powers such use of submarines as was
made by Germany during the world
war.

CHRISTMAS ! M! PARCELS
WERE MAILED EARLY
Despite Tremendous Volume of
Holiday Mail, Everything
Moved Smoothly.
(sy The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec 24.-Offcials
Of the postoffce department left their
desks tonight convinced that the
American people had begun to prac-
tice mail early for Christmas"
While the nearly one third million
persons in the postal Service stag
gered under a load which appears,
when viewed as statistics, to be the
largest volume of Christmas mail in
history, reports from several thousand
divjsionR1 and minoa offices showed
plainly, it was declared, that the mails
had been moved smoothly and with
dispatch and, above all, without the
usual peak"
DIR. Hubert Work, first assistant
postmaster general, declared due to
the fine cooperation Of the people and
the splendid, efficient service of the
employees" the response to Postmaster
General Hays appeal for an early
mailing of Christmas packages was
more hearty than we could have
hoped"
The indication of a great increase in
the Christmas mail was viewed as
significant by many government Of
ficials, who declared it showed a bet
terment in the nations economic con-
ditions. 1t reflected, it was said, bet
ter markets, buster factories, fewer
unemployed. They believed also it re-
vealed a closer knit American nation,
for transcontinental as well as local
mail alike was heavy. Mention was
made in the reports Of postmasters
and railway mail service heads Of the
higher percentage Of registered and
Insured packages and the tremendous
volume of parcel post matter as in
dicative of the rising tide of business.
As shown by the postoffice depart
ment charts. mails that could accu-
rately be charged to the Christmas
period began to increase in volume
about Dec. 10. In the next 10 days,
the flow of greetings and packages
continued steadily and. although in
creasing gradually, it got beyond the
capacity Of few important postoffices
to dispatch or deliver with celerity
Even stormy weather in some sections
did not cause what has hitherto been
an annual jam in the mails, the re
ports showed
Great cities like New York and Chi
cago, important gateways as at mid
continent rail dividing points and the
hundreds of lesser relay stations for
the mails met foods of the tide and
turned it into its proper channels
promptly. delayed only to the extent
that railway service was impaired BY
its burden OF homeward bound tray-
elIers. according to DR.. Work. He said
in this connection that so far as rec
ords show never in recent years has
less mail reached division points "un-
worked or unsorted for its prompt
transfer.
