WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-"Wc shall
get the conference out of the trenches
by Christmas" This forecast was made
to me to-day by high government off,
cia! who had full cognizance of all that
has happened and all that it is planned
to do. This in itself is final proof
that there will be no Far Eastern pro-
nouncement comparable with that on
disarmament of last Saturday, and that
those who have to handle that complex
question arc fully satisfied there will
be no dangerous tension,
THIS means, in substance. moreover.
;hat the conference has now become a
commlttee, or series of committees,
which are to deal with the various ques-
tions before the Assembly. The state
ments of the British and Japanese rep
fesentatives to-day indicated that there
VIII be notifications in the American
program as presented, but they gave
very definite assurances that in the main
the acceptance WIS conceded in ad-
vance.
The hardest work that now lies
ahead is the preparation of the docu-
ment which will embody the agree
ments.. and given the technical charac-
ter of the subject, the extraordinary
number of details, the drafting of this
document promises to be one of the
gravest problems ever faced by the
makers of state paper.
Regarded as Beginning
With the first two open sessions of
the conference past. there is every
reason to believe that even the tech
meal work will not suffice to DELAY the
delegates beyond the Christmas holi-
days or produce the confusion and
disappolntments of Paris, where all
the hlgh hopes had faded long before

ALBANY, Nov. 15.--The Knight bill,
which would place privately y-owned

cussed at meeting here to-day of the
state conference Of Mayors.
Senator John Knight, of Wyoming.
SPONSOR Of the measure in the Legisla-
ture, was present at the meeting which
was called for the purpose of determin-

Almost all the other morning papers
