WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Congres-
sional Washington was decidedly
stirred to-day by the published reports
that one Of the results of the gathering
of nations at the arms conference may
be an informal agreement for compro-
missing the $11,0Oo,0 100000 of war dep,s
to the United States.
The rumor, which aroused private
comment, particularly among members
OF the Finance committees of both
houses, was that unofficial discussions
among representatives Of the debtor
| countries, just within earshot of the
Administration, centered about a COM
promise calling for so per cent pay
ments, provided the armaments con-
ference is entirely successful. Pre-
mier BRAND returned to France, ac-
cording to report, with q semi-under-
standing that formal proposals along
these lines will be the basis for the
calling Of another international con-
ference.
The behind conferences,
it was stated, are predicated upon the
contention, concurred in by some
American fnanciers, that there can be
no permanent economic or business re-
covery until the world is stabilized
financially through elimination Of the
tremendous debt burdens.
Additional interest was lent the re-
port by che return to New York of
Frank A. Vanderlip, formerly head of
the National City Bank, who has been
studying economic and financial condi-
tions in Europe for the last five
months. His announcement that he
will offer a possible solution of the
inter-Allied debt problem next week
caused at least bit of speculation on
Capitol Hill.
The attention drawn to the two re-
ports in Congressional circles assures
at least that when the bill providing
for commission to arrange refunding
of the war debts comes up in the SEN
ate in the regular session beginning
| next month the discussion will come
| closer to clearing the question than
did the debate in the House before
that body passed the measure.
1t is more than probable that the
Senate will. decide to restrict the
blanket authority placed in the re-
funding commission by the House bill.

and order of the community was threat
ened. Consequently the order was
passed along to the woman, and it is
said that 1900 of them have promised
to report for duty.
They will wear blue uniforms. blue
overseas cap, a black Sam Browne belt,
black leggings and black shoes. They
will have full police authority and are
authorized to direct traffic, serve sum-
monses, make arrests, stop runaways
and perform the duty of policemen.
If it is found that drivers fail to
accord to them the same respect re-
ceived by uniformed members Of the
force on similar duty, nightsticks will
be issued and the women will be in
structed to use them to enforce their
authority when necessary.
The women of the Police Reserves
have been studying traffic regulations
and are said to know as much about
them as the patrolmen ordinarily as
signed to duty at school crossings.
The women will take their places at
school crossings at q. m. and remain
until 9:16 a. m. They will return to

LONDON, Nov. 25.--The final stage
of the Irish negotiations came into
sight to-day as Sir James Craig, the
Ulster Premier, and Prime Minister
Lloyd George met in Downing Street,
came to grips with the crisis and drew
up joint statement which Sir James
will read to the Northern Irish Par
lament on Tuesday. This statement, it
is understood, contains the information
that the Sim Feiners have refused to
admit allegiance to the. British crown,
a concession on. which Ulster insists be-
fore it will consider entering an all
Irish parliament, and which Lloyd
George regards as paramount.
The formulation of a statement
which is to be made public was adopted
as a result of the UlsSermen's protest
against the secrecy of the negotiations
and as an alternative to the publication
of the correspondence between the gov
ernment and the Sim Feiners which
the Ulstermen sought. Sir James de-
parted for Belfast with the statement
this evening.
Precarious Stage of Farley
The Irish negotiations were regarded
as having reached very precarious
stage, but though Sir James looked
grave when he entered the Prime Min
ister's offices this morning, he seemed
more cheerful as he departed at the
end of an hours conversation.
The situation in Belfast had most
important influence on to-day's dis
cussions. From the time of the bomb
ing of a streetcar on one of Belfast's
leading thoroughfares last night, the
second outrage of it's kind within a
week, until the early hours Of this
morning, messages flashed back and
forth between Belfast and London.
The Sim Feiners disavow the recent
outrages in the Northern Irish capital
and describe them as unauthorized re-

1900 Policewomen to Guard
Children; May Use Nightsticks

Two thousand two hundred women in
uniform will report for police duty in
this city at 8 a, m. Monday, according
to an announcement made yesterday by
John f. Dwyer, former inspector in
charge of the Police Reserves. The
women are members of the Police Re-
serves. They will be stationed at street
crossings near schools.
They were ordered out by Rodman
Wanamaker, Special Deputy Police
Commissioner in charge of the Police
Reserves. The reason given for calling
on them was that the strike of milk
drivers had made demands on the
police force that it was difficult to find
policemen to station at school cross
ings at the hours when children are
going to school or returning to their
homes
At first the plan was to call upon the
male members Of the Police Reserves
for school crossing duty, but II was
found that a<large proportion OF them

British Press Sees Conference
Menaced by Japan's Attitude

LONDON, Nov. 25 (By The Asso-
ciated press).-The weekly reviews
again comment at great length on the
Washington conference, but with far
less confidence than week ago. Their
misgivings are based mainly on what
is considered the doubtful attitude of
Japan and France.
Lord Northcliffe's demand for a de-
nunciation Of the Anglo-Japanese treaty
is criticized in some of the journals,
but mainly on the ground that the
alliance ought not to be sacrificed
merely to please the United States, but
because it stands in the way of the sue
cess of the conference. But even the
reviews objecting to the Northcliffe
method agree that the alliance should
be got rid of.
"The Spectator" considers Japan's
attitude disappointing, and that unless
Japan can be brought to change of
mind there is grave fear that the con-
ference will prove fiasco. This news
paper declares plainly that unless
Japan agrees to a naval sacrifice the
New-York tribune., 1921-11-26

United States and Great Britain must
deal with the Pacific question by them
selves. "The Spectator" indorses Lord
Northcliffe's suggestion that Singapore
and Hong Kong should be placed under
the disposition of the United States if
needed.
"The Saturday Review" also says the
Anglo-Japanese pact should not go be-
cause of American pressure, but be-
cause, on it's merits, it is a failure.
"The Weekly Nation" admitting that
the success of the conference with re-
gard to China depends on whether the
British government is ready to drop
the Japanese alliance, agrees with ''The
Statesman"
"The Outlook says Japan can in
dubitably destroy the conference and
sees reasons to fear she may do So II
adds that upon the conference depends
the fate of the world and that 1--WE are
confronted for the first time in history
with a situation in which non-white
race holds in its hands the destnies
of all the white peoples"
Therefore, "The Outlook says. the
British delegates must use all their in,
fuence with Japan to make the confer
ence success.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The sug.
gestion, voiced at the White House to-
day, that Germany might be invited
to participate in the final phases of
the disarmament conference was coldly
received at the headquarters Of the
French delegation.
Reactions obtained there were nee.
essarily unofficial. M. BRAND is still
close to American shores and none of
the other delegates cared to assume the
function of spokesman so soon. But
there is no doubt among them regard
ing the opinion entertained by Rene
Viviani. who now is head Of the French
delegation.
There are two matters that might
be submitted to Germany and other
smaller nations of Europe that might
be invited to participate in the con.
ference. For one thing they might be
asked to ratify an agreement about
submarines. For another their aid
could be sought for the purpose of eff
ting some degree of land disarmament
No Credit in Assurances
Premier BRAND, in his eloquent
statement Of the reasons which impe
France to maintain a large army
stressed the dangers confronting his
country from vengeful Germany ant
chaotic Russia. Some of the French
to-day were inclined to feel that the
| only purpose back of any plan to brins
| Germany to the conference would bt
to get Teutonic assurances of pacific
intentions.
Such assurances, they say, would be
utterly unimportant. They say thai
one Of the principal reasons for the
! maintenance of powerful army by
France is that only the threat of in.
vasion will keep the Germans to the
terms of the agreement they signec
at Versailles.
The German government in it's pres
ent form is none too secure, in tht
opinion Of some of the French, ane
the instant the French army no Longer
existed there would come revolu
tion that might restore the Hohen
zollerns to power. And then, ask the
French, what about reparations?

FARMERS CONTRIBUTE
431 CARLOADS OF CORN
FOR EUROPEAN RELIEF

Huron, S, D.. May 7.-Farmers
in ten states contributed 431 car
loads of gift-corn for the RELIEF
of starving people in Europe from
the Near East, according to the re-
port of Carl Vrooman, general di-
rector of the gift-corn project for
the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON. Although no accurate
check is yet available, it is esti-
mated by Mr.. Vrooman that these
43l carloads will approximate
5000 bushels.
The number of cars from each
of the ten states contributing is
given as follows: South Dakota,
81; Illinois, 147 Ohio, 81; Indi-
ana, "A; Minnesota, "A; Iowa, &C.
Missouri, %; Nebraska, 20; Kan
sas, 16 and Colorado, 4.
Mr.. Vrooman, in his report, esti-
mates the value of this corn when
processed and delivered across the
water will be at the rate of $12 a
bushel. At that rate the shipment
will have a value at its destination
of $7,200,000. This states gift will
have an approximate value OF
$3.50, 900.
