Must Secure Approval of Small
Nations to Hughes Plan.
Small Chance for Conference to
Adjourn New Years.
new TANGLES BEING MET
French Declare They'll Not
Bulge on Sub Cut.
British Expected to Yield on
Submarine Question. ms

Washington, Dec. 21-A conferences
of all the nations in the world prob
ably will have to be called by the
United States for the purpose of Sc
curing an agreement on the question
of limiting the constructing of naval
armament, a spokesman of the British
delegation stated today.
Clauses IN the Hughes proposal
which binds nations party to the
agreement not to sell existing war
ships to nations outside the agreement
or to construct new war vessels for
other nations, have raised a question
as to the effectiveness of the Hughes
plan which probably can be settled
only by general world agreement, it
was stated.
Early Adjournment Blocked.
Nearly all hope had fled today that
the armament conference can finish
up it's work and be out OF Washington
by the first of the New Year. the ten
tative goal set by the leaders.
At every turn the conference has
reached a temporary impasse. and
while belief in ultimate agreements is
well nigh unanimous, 1t is recognized
that a great deal more time will be re-
quired to dispose of all the vcxing
problems still confronting the dele
gates
Today's conference activities Ian
guished, while the delegates made
preparations for a resumption of the
diplomatic trading tomorrow.
The French were busily engaged to-
day in formulating the program of
submarines and auxiliary ships which
they will demand from the conference
as compensation for giving up their
ambitious capital ship program. Ad-
miraI De Bon, the French naval ex-
pert had the skeleton of a program
direct from Paris, and he and his ex-
perts were whipping IL into shape fer
presentation - the powers.
British VIII Yield.
There were increasing evidences to-
day that the war over the submarine
allotment is to be bitter one. with
Great Britain making a lone fight for
their complete abolition. Having
yielded on the capital ship issue, the
French delegates stoutly declare they
will not bulge an inch where subma-
rines are concerned and that the pow
ers here will have to allot France an
adequate" force of defensive fighting
ships to protect her coast lines and
colonial possessions.
Great Britain will bow to the will
of the ma ajority If the Washington con-
ference decides in favor of the reten-
zion of the submarine as a weapon of
warfare, a spokesman for the British
delegation stated today.
The British delegates will be willing
to accede in the general interests of
the conference and of the naval limi-
tation program, 1t was explained, tho
they fully appreciate that the unani-
nous agreement for any action OF the
conference necessary to become bind

Hearings on Earning Out" Re-
pair Work Continue.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Petitions for fur
ther wage reductions are expected to
begin pouring into the offices of the
United States railway labor board soon
after the new year. By that time ap-
plications for reductions in pay of
shopmen, maintenance of way men,
clerks, signalmen and stationary fire
men and oilers may be considered by
the board.
Eight disputed rules affecting 354,-
600 clerks, two contested rules invoIv-
ing 5000 signalmen and two rules
affecting 5000 stationary engineers,
are soon to be given out.

threatened general strike last October
Wassayerted, the board may consider
wage reductions for each class of en-
ployes as the working rules for that
class are completed.
Rules for train dispatchers. yard
masters and telegraphers remain for
consideration, hence wage reduction

likely to come before the board for
sometime.

tional agreement were resumed today.

DECIDE ROAD CASE
Building of Surfaced Highways
Up to Commissioners.
Nemaha County Case Reversed
by State Supreme Court.
IMPORTANT TO co. OFFICIALS
Affects Section of Capital Route
Between Omaha and Topeka.
Board Has Right to Determine
DesirabiIity of Road.
IMPORTANT TO co. OFFICIALS

Kansas county commissioners may
exercise judgment and impose fitting
requirements in designating highways
to be hard surfaced. That was the
decision of the state supreme court to-
day when it reversed decision by the
Nemaha county district court and or
dered asmandatory writ of mandamus
against the clerk and county commits
sioners dissolved.
Today's decision is of vital impor-
tance to county officials and persons
interested in hard surface road work
in the state. In passing on the appeal
from Nemaha county the supreme
court held that it was the province of
a county board to determine the rela-
tive importance and need of a high
way in defining it as public utility.
Where it imposes provisions regarding
the surfacing of a road, control of the
situation does not pass from the
board when the road is not promptly
improved.
Capital Highway Involved.
The Nemaha county case involved a
section of the Capital Highway be-
tween Omaha and Topeka. In 1919
the Nemaha county board had ap-
proved plans to hard surface a strip
of six miles of highway from Sahetha
north to the Nebraska state line. When
this order was made, tho, certain pro-
visions were imposed.
First: Federal aid was to be re-
ceived equal to so per cent of a maxi
mum cost of $4,000 a mile.
Second: The highway was to be-
come a section of the permanent capi-
tai highway connecting similar roads
to Topeka on the south and Omaha on
the north.
Third: That Brown county would
take similar action affecting the high
way thru its county and approve plans
for hard surfacing the road from Meta
waka to Sabetha via Fairview.
Failed To Build Road.
The Nemaha county board failed
to build it's share of the road and F. j.
Herman and others went before the
district court with an application for
a writ of nandamus to compel action.
The writ was granted and the county
board appealed. The supreme court in
an opinion by Justice Mason today
reverses the judgment of the lower
court and remands the case with in
structions to deny the writ.
In its opinion the supreme court holds
that the board could not be compelled
to act so long as it had specified terms
under which the road was to be built.
It held that a county board has a
right to determine the desira bility of a
specific highway and it's relative value
to the community by virtue of con-
nections and travel via the particular
route.
Nemaha county commissioners do
not lose control over the road by vir-
tue of their delay. the court. holds.
Yet while the court holds that the COM
missioncrs have the power to control
work on the road it is their duty to
proceed.
The case was of statewide import
ance in view.of the fact that it brought
to issue the right of property owners
to compel prompt action by a county
on road which had been designated
for Improvement
