DEATH TAXES MOST
 VENERABLE EDITOR
COLONEL HENRY PATTERSON, OLD SCHOOL JOURNALIST,
 DIES PEACEFULLY.

Jacksonville, Fla.--Go. Henry Wat terson, known to the American peo- pie as one of the last surviving mem. bers of the old schol of journalism and to his friends as "Marse Henry" died early last week at hotel here. Death came peacefully, the venerable editor retaining consciousness almost to the ends
 Henry Watterson was one of the last of the old-time personal journal ists. More than half 8 century his editorials, with their brilliant original and phrase-making composition, at, tracted wide attention.
 A natural bent for writing develop ed but even in this Mir Watterson was seriously handicapped as an ill ness in infancy had affected his wis ion. His first journalistic experience was gained on a Washington CD. O newspaper as musical and dramatic critic.
 Watterson's course in letters and journalism in the national capitol was interrupted just as he attained his ma jority by the outbreak of the war. With his father, he opposed the seces- sion movement, but upon declaring of hostilities he returned to his Tennes- see home, and joined the army of the Confederacy.

DIFFERENCE OVER SUBMARINES MAY PREVENT AGREEMENT ON IMPORTANT QUES-
 TiONS.
sHAHTUNG ASPECT GRAVE
Japanese Receive instructions From Tokio, Announcing They Are Not Prepared To Make Any Further Concessions
 To Chinese.

Washington. 1.-The submarine con troversy has revealed so wide differ. ence of opinion among the powers that the arms delegates are seriously discussing a plan to leave the whole question of auxiliary warship tonnage to later international conference
 So far, consideration of the project has been entirely informal, with con- ference leaders outwardly expressing hope that the negotiations may yet bring the submarine problem to so- lution. In many quarters, howevere, there are growing signs of discourage ment over the prospect and an ae- companying tendency to examine the possibilities of the compromise plan.
 In higher American circles it was said that concrete plan for future conference may be laid before the delegates within few days. Presi- dent Harding is said to believe that such conference would be logical development of his policy of interna- tional consultation, and it was indi- cated that he had communicated his desires to the American delegates.
 The submarine tangle apparently is as far as ever from settlement, de- spite conferences between the Amer ican delegates and the representatives of Japan and France, the countries which are holding out against the compromise proposals. The Naval Committee, which has not met since Saturday, will resume its sessions to- morrow, but neither the French nor Japanese expect to be able to modify their objections to the American plan.
 Negotiations over Shantung also took on a more serious aspect when the Japanese, after the receipt of fresh instructions from Tokc, an- nounced that they are not prepared to make any further concessions in their exchanges with t.se Chinese over the return of the Thingtao-Tsinanfu rail- road The Chinese already have de- clared they can go no further toward a compromise, but in some conference circles there still is hope that the two groups may be brought together.
