ALL OVER NEW YEARS

Washington, Dec. 11.-(By A. P)-
With the four power treaty in final
form and an agreement on naval "a

the arms conference goes into its fifth
week with its principals confident

ties here by the end of the year.
| The problems of the Far East and
details of the naval reduction pro-
gram, including the question of Pa
cific island fortifcations and naval
bases, now become the subjects of

committee of the whole at the same
time that the naval situation is clear

while the separate negotiations over

! Although there are indications that
Japan is about ready to accept the
American "5-5-3" naval ratio, it is
not considered unlikely that she ma y
refrain from committing herself def

standing about future Notifications
on the Pacific islands. There has
been a general indication that all the
powers are willing to assent to an
arrangement by which all present
defenses in Pacific waters would be
retained and none added in the flu
ture. but the question is yet to be
made the subject of formal ex-
changes.
Further instructions from Toxic
were received today by the Japanese
delegates. The nature of the mes
sage was not revealed but there were
evidences that the Japanese were
preparing to canvass the situation
relative to Pacific bases before going
further with the naval ratio discus

long regarded by Japan as INSOFAR
ably linked and her desire to dispose
of both a one time is not regarded as

FOR PEACEFUL PACIFIC

Washington, Dec. 10-(By A. P)-
A new quadruple agreement to pre-
serve peace in the matters of the
Pacific was announced to the world
today by the United States, Great
Britain, Japan and France.
As a consideration of the interna-
tional realignment Great Britain and
Japan agreed to consign to the scrap
heap the Anglo Japanese alliance,
long viewed with apprehension in
both America and Asia.
The provisions of the agreement
which is in the form Of a ten-ycar
treaty, are confined to the region of
the Pacific Ocean" Under them the
four powers are to respect each
others island possessions and to
meet in consultation il a dispute
arises or il the rights of any of the
-four are threatened by any other
power.
Announcement of the treaty terms
was made at a plenary session of the
arms conference by Senator Lodge Of
the American delegation and was fol-
lowed by expressions Of approval by
the plenipotentiaries OF Great Brit
ain, France, Japan, Italy, China and
Belgium, The Netherlands and Por-
tugal.
Opposition Expected
To be binding on the United States
the treaty must be ratified by the
Senate, several of whose members
withheld comment tonight pending
further study of the text. Open war

Minister Vander<elde. IL Is an

prohibiting the sale in bars. restsu-

such as port and sherry. The rev
measure will not interfere with the
sale of beer or light wines, but will
be modelled after the law enacted
about eighteen months ago, sup
pressing the sale in public places
OF whisky, cognac and other liquors.
though permitting their sale for con-

On the whole the law aimed at
hard liquors has worked fairly well
with comparatively few attempts at

the overcrowding or the last boat.
When the last steamer OF the
Dolphin line. the Queen Anne, pulled
out of the dock at the island IL car
ried more than 800 passengers and
left behind several hundred belated
excursionists who were informed
that there would be no more boats.
At 1928, however, the steamer Tren-
ton arrived and was soon filled to
capacity. The crowd on the island
then dwindled to about $50.
Robert Merkel, manager of Bur-
lington' Park. spent an unhappy hour
after the departure OF the Trenton
in his efforts TO placate the stranded
excursionists. He was authorized by
the steamboat company's offices In
Trenton to hire launches to bring the
narooned ones to Bristol and send
them to Philadelphia on the trolley
line.
Many accepted this invitation. but
seventy of the number demanded that
the company send steamer and
avowed their intention of remaining
on the island until steamer ar
rived. They were as good as their
word and remained on the island all
night. without loss of time mem
bers of the marooned marty made
themselves beds on park benches,
