Naval Experts Require
More Time to Work Out
Details of Reduction
BY T. > SANDIFER.


hte"' IA NeWs service.
Several 8 may elapse before the
experts re ,nting the three great
naval powers will be ready to thrash
out in formal session the final pro
gram for limitation of naval arma-
ment, it was said today by one Of the
chief American advisers.
Satisfactory progress Is being made.
1t is said, but for numerous reasons
neither the American or any other ma
val group is willing yet to go into a
formal session of the delegates and
lay before them the definite results OF
the negotiations. ....
This is readily understood, 1t was
said, when the situation of the for
eign groups is considered. They are
thousands of miles from their head
quarters, and there are innumerable
details which cannot be considered
definitely without reference to home
authorities.

Great Britain is not especially in

Washington conference will probably
favor the re-establishment of a com
mission similar to that set up in 1S45

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Ah interesting
review of conditions abroad is con-
tanned in an interview with James
Simpson, vice president of Marshall
Field & Co., who has just returned
from a two-month trip through
France, England, Germany, and
Switzerland. Mr.. Simpson said:
Chaos Is General.
''In Europe is economical and
financial chaos. Unless something
is promptly done to avert the dis
aster which approaches with con-
stantly increasing rapidity, 1t will
spread from one country to another
until we are all involved in the mael-
strom.

which way to turn. They feel that
their only hope lies in America as
suming leadership in the restoration
of an orderly state of affairs as be-

LOS ANGELES PEEVED BECAUSE
RIGHTS TO COLORADO
RIVER CHALLENGED
(Mohave County Miner)

Amusing are the stories told in the
Los Angeles newspapers regarding
the refusal of the Arizona Water
Commission to permit the filing of
power sites on the Colorado river
by California interests, and still
more amusing is the bunk given out
regarding the cause assigned for
this refusal
The real fact of the matter is that
until the meeting of the League of
the Southwest last year the people
Of Los Angeles never heard of
Boulder Canyon, or for that matter
any Of the other dam sites that have
come under view, nor did they real
ize what the building of one of these
great dams would mean to the ir-
rigation districts of the southland.
Yet today the newspapers are talk
ing big of the attempt of the some
bodies" to take from Los Angeles
its rights on the Colorado river and
turn them over the big power COM
panies, which are named in these
articles There is not the least
likelihood Of any big power COM

GREEK REVERSE
CAUSED BY POOR
WAR MATERIAL

New York.-Old secondhand war

the armistice upon which profteers
made q fortune is the cause Of the
reverses lately suffered by the
Greek army in Asia Minor, accord
ing to DR.. Barton w. Brush, of Elm
hurst. L. l.. who has just returned
from service behind the Greek
front with the Near East Relief.
AL the leftover war supplies
for which the European countries
had no further use after 1918 seem
to have been sold to the Greeks in
the past three years, and that is
all the Greek army has to fight
with" DR.. Brush declared.
"ln' the past three years vast
fortunes have been made in Greece
out Of army supplies, and now the
Greek soldiers are paying for it.
There are no hospitals, no hos
pital equipment no ambulances
worth the name, and tho wounded
have little chance except for such
care as the American Near East Re-
lief can give them"
According to DR.. Brush the Greek
people were wildly enthusiastic
about the war, and eager to drive
the Turks out of Smyrna, for good.
