 Says Seeley

Distribution of state aid to Bridge port eX-servtce men has been sus- pended until further provisions are made by the state legislature. w. Parker Seeley announced today no regular pawn would be made in Bridgeport this week, although it Is hoped that funds will be available by the middle of next week.
 State Treasurer Butterworth of the American Legion introduced to the legislature today a measure to pro- vide an emergency appropriation of S150,000 to S2OO,0o0 for imm ediate adoption under suspension of rules.

Plan To Make
 Germany Free Of
 French Iron Ore

Berlin-PIans for making Germany independent of French iron ores have been perfected, it is stated here, by persons explaining the assumption of control by Hugo Stinnes, the German industrial magnaite of the Siemens Schuckert Company of Berlin and the Trans-Alpine Corporation, an Aus triaD company.
 Under working agreeme eIrts, Herr Shines plans with the aid of Aus trian coke to convert German iron ore into steel.

WASHINGTON. Nov. i5.-~Japan
and the United states stand today
precisely where Japan and Russia
stood on the eve OF the Russo-Japan-
ESQ war.
And unless the diplomats gathered
here for the arms conference shattcr
precedent and play fair. America has
hardly a ghost of show to escape
trouble in the Orient.
England. under these circum-
stances. has become vital factor. II
not the vital factor. and her attitude
will largely determine whether there
is TO be peace or war in the Pacific.
When Russia and Japan stood
glaring al each other in 1904. England
had Just become Japan's ally. With.
out England's moral and financial
support. Japan would not have dared
tackle the great Slav bear. But hav-
ing England's support. Japan struck.
For Russia stood in her road to Man
churia.
whether rightly or wrongly
makes little differcnce--Japan consid.
ers the United States in her way.
China blocked her ambitions In Korea
and she licked China. Russia OPP
posed her in Manchuria and she
licked Russia. Only America re-
mains. and she would like TO brush
America aside as she did Russia and
China.
To make the try. however, she
more than ever needs England.
Nippon wishes the Anglo-Japancse
alliance renewed. not so much be
cause she thinks Great Britain would
fight on her side against the United
States in case of war. but because
she fears that, without tho alliance
1t Is possible that BritMn's moral
support might go TO America.
With England as an ally. japan
hopes Canada, Australia and New
Zealand might be coerced into re
naming neutral. and that Engiand's
influence In China would be stronf
enough to keep that country out Of
the conflict.
In short, unless Japan is assured
OF England's benevolent neutrality
there is little likelihood OF her allow
ing her Asiatic policy TO carry her e
such an extreme as war with thu
United states at least for a Ions
time to come.
