tended hand and shook mine warmly.
At once he made 1t plain that he wanted
my views and advice and the views and
advice Of my business friends and as
sociates, back home. He made 1t plain
that he was willing TO have que estions
asked of him and to answer none that
might prove embarrassing to him on the
pending negotiations with the British
Government As he stood before me his
features seemed to mirror the anxiety
manifested so plainly by the Irish
people.
"The tall, hollow checked Sim F'ein
leader seemed trifle thinner and more
careworn than when I talked to him at
the dinner Of the Friendly Sons OF St.
Patrick last year I'm this city. There
was something in his simple. unosten-
tatious bearing that reminded me OF
Abraham Lincoln; there was something
about his appearance that brought to
mind the Woodrow Wilson OF the early
days of the world war, when it was a
question Of whether America should go
In or stay out; whether to let America
be held up to contempt or receive the
everlasting blessing and good will OF CIV
ilization for generations to come, Surely
no great leaders OF the past were con-
fronted with moro complex and trying
situations or had to solve a more diff
cult problem than Eamon de Valera"

RAIL EXECUTIVES FIRM
ON WAGE REDUCTIONS
Issue Plainly Before Public,
Declares Cuylsr.

Special Despatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The rail executives
who remain in Chicago are grimly COM
placent with the receipts of the news of
the strike. Their complacement Is
founded on knowledge of the affairs of
the roads, which to-day have less trans
portation than at any time in recent
years. The executives, through II. De
Witt Cuyler, chairman of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives, to-day de-
sible in present circumstances.
THE position OF the railroads Is that
to carry on the transportation of the
country there must be wage reduc-
tion," he declared at his apartments In
the Blackstone Hotel. "The people have
been crying for a reduction in freight
rates. Inasmuch as they pay the bill on
the wage side we have put the issue
plainly before the public. showing that
the question of wages is a matter be-
tween the public with its government
agencies and the unions"
Robert s. Binkerd. secretary of the
Association Of American Railway Exeou'
tives, returned East late to-day. He de-
clined to comment upon the situation.
pointing to the statement Of the railroad
executives as their case"
The Illinois Manufacturers Assoeia-
ton in a letter to all members appealed
to them to use their influence and
enlist the aid of their employees In sus'
taining the position of the railroad ex-
ecutives. Shippers will receive the benz
eft of the 22h per cent. wage reduction

TOXIC ARMS PARLEY
POLICY IS OUTLINED
By the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Oct. 13 (Delayed) .--Japan's
disarmament policy, formulated during
repeated conferences of the Cabinet
Council and submitted for approval to
the Advisory Council. will serve as in
structions for the japanese delegates to
the Washington conference for the limi-
tation of ornaments and Far Eastern
questions. according to t''n newspaper
Asahi Shin,bu,s to-day. 1hs main points
OF this policy, says that newspaper, are
substantially as follows:
The maintenance of world peace Is the
ardent desire of the Japanese nation !;
SO much so that the Imperial Govern
ment approved ahead of the other Pow
ers the idea of holding the Washington
conference. The delegation shall strive
to make clear that the principle OF the
Empire is to maintain the minimum
strength necessary for assuming the de-
fence of the country
The Japanese policy has not been
framed with the armament of other
countries as an objective. but only with
the idea of necessary defence, taking
the geographical position OF Japan Into
consideration. The yearly increase IN
armament expenditure has been due to
the fact that international relationship
has not allowed the Powers to slacken
their respective armament preparations.
If possible, the sources OF internatlonai
difficulties shall be rooted out and per-
feet assurance of national defence estap-
lished. Japan will willingly agree TO
limitation of armament with the other
Powers.

Paris, Oct. Is.
An investigation of the exchange
speculation scandal involving several
French and American banks, and which
has caused some concern In financial
circles here for the last fortnight, has
developed that no losses were suffered
by the banks. all the operations having
been confined to a few dishonest, am
bilious clerks whose integrity as far as
the banks are concerned was fully COW
cred by insurance.
The banks have met all the obliga-
tons. the total Of which is now stated
to be immaterial, and all the clerks con-
cerned have been discharged. AS q re-
suit of the expose, however. the French
Government has imposed the strictest
regulations regarding the buying and
selling Of foreign exchanges on margin
in the hope of ending such speculate
practices.
It is understood that precautionary
measures have been taken to provide
for tho presentation Of documentary evi-
dence signed by reliable authorities re-
garting the reasons for and the des-
tination of all such transactions before
they will be honored by the Paris
Bourse. thus further protecting all
financial institutions in their legitimate
exchange operations.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The first walkou,
in the progressive general railroad
strike. scheduled to begin at A. M
October 30. would find virtually every
large city and forty-two OF the forty
eight States in the nation affected
Only the New England States would
be untouched in the strikes planned
for the roads in the frst of the four
groups Of carriers.
The strike is planned to extend along
every border Of the country with the
exception of the extreme Northeast
and to cover every interior State.
The seventeen roads that first would
be affected have a total mileage Of
73.471, approximately 36 per cent. Of the
trackage Of the country. Including all of
the railroad organizations about 100000
men would walk out on the first day,
union leaders estimated, although It has
not been decided definitely whether the
eleven minor unions shall carry out their
walkout in all details the Same as the
big four brotherhoods and the Switch
mems Union Of North America.
The largest Of the roads listed in
group one is the Chicago. Milwaukee and
ST. Paul, which has tracAage of TO-
se1 miles and runs through most Of the
States In the northern part Of the coun-
try between Chicago and the Pacific
coast. The Chicago and Northwestern.
covering the central and north CEN
trai States, Is the second largest. it's
mileage totalliRg 1o,155.
The Southern Pacific lines have a
larger mileage than either of the fore
going roads, but part Of their lines
run into Mexico and 1t is not known
whether the strike will affect that coun-
try.
The only States not reached by the
roads on which the strike is scheduled
m begin are: Massachusetts,, Maine.
Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut
and Rhode Island.
While only four of the big brother
hoods and the Switchmen's Union have

COMING OF PREMfERS

Special Despatch 10 THE New York HmALs.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. O., Oct Is.
Administration officials are highly en-
couraged over the fact that both Premier
BRAND of France and Premier Lloyd
George of England will attend the arma-
ment conference.
The announcement that the two are
to be here Is greeted as tardy recogni-
tion by Europe OF the Importance of tho
conference. Hitherto IT had been be-
lieved In some circles here that Europe
was loath to take the conference seri-
ously. this suspicion attaching to Great
Britain more than to other nations. 1t
has been fully realized that Lloyd
George faces a complicated situation at
home, but even this, II has been be-
lieved, should not prevent the Premier'e
attendance at least for brief period.
Several other incidents suggested that
Great Britain did not stress the impor-
tance OF the conference, and II also had
been suspected that quiet opposition on
the part of the League OF Nations might
have had It's effect In lessening the Inn
portance which Europe attached to the
gathering.
Various interchanges have been made
between this country and Europe during
ti' id1t houi Wccho WHiCl naNc PfccbSVA
on the European countries the fact that
this country believes the conference In
OF supreme Importance. It also has been
made clear that this country regarded
lack of enthusiasm over the conference
as injudicious.
Premier BRAND has been eager TO
como to Washington. but political con-
ditions have made his coming doubtful.
II the French Premier comes II will be
more difIlcult for the British Premier to
remain away, and the same would be
true II the situation should be reversed.
While the coming OF both Premiers
adds encouragement TO preparations for
the conference other features OF the
situation are not 10 encouraging. The
condition of affairs In the Far East Ia
even more complicated than II was when
invitations TO the conference were issued.
China In In a state of armed revolt with
the factions marshaling their armies ard
with little outlook for peaceful settle
ment.
It had been hoped also that China and
Japan might settle the Shantung diff
hculty before the conference convenes
but news from Toxic and Pekin indicates
no settlement is possible at this time and
that this vexatious question may come
into the conference The settlement had
been anticipated, but is unaccountably
hanging fire.

ment TO letter written by Secretary on

Of private efforts to further the aims of
the conference. The Secretary says the
State Department welcomes the aid OF

Secretary Hughes's letter was ad-
dressed to Miss Christina Merriman, sec
retary Of the Foreign Policy Association,
and reads:
ber 9. You may be assured that the
State Department welcomes the aid OF
public spirited citizens in furthering the
objects OF the Conference on the Limita-
ton OF Armament and keenly desires to
facilitate all who are engaged in the eff

develop sound opinion. / am not suf-
iiciently informed as to the plans Of
your organisation to comment upon them
and certainly I do not wish to be put in
the position Of criticising an attempt, as
you put 1t, TO direct public interest in

Being deeply in earnest I'm this mat
ter and solicitous for the success of
negotiations which involve grave diff
culties and will undoubtedly afford
many opportunities for misunderstand-
ing. I am naturally anxious that the
American people should place confi-
dence in the American delegation and
that those who are most interested in
the objects to be attained will permit
us to endeavor to attain them and to
perform our important work without
unnecessary embarrassment. 1t is quite
clear from your letter that you share
this view.
1T do not wish to put you to the In
convenience of coming to Washington,
but shall be glad to see you whenever

CRAIG INTIA1ATES HE
WILL BE AT PARLEY
Says Ulster IL Watchful; Will
Not Be Ho0duinked.
BIZ the Associated Press.

BELFAST, Oct 15.-Sir James Craig.
the Ulster Premier. in an address here
to-day dealing with the Irish conference
in progress In London and with listers
position regarding Il, made remarks re-
garded as a strong intimation that he
expects to participate In the peace ne
gotiations He said he might not have
an opportunity of making another pub
lie speech for some time. "as may be
engaged in most delicate operations re-
garding the future of our beloved coun-
| try"
"lf am asked to go INTO conference
| with the Prime Minister and his Cab
met" Sir James continued, ut may be
that my lips will be sealed while the
conference is proceeding. Remember
this. Don't be overelated II you hear
that Ulster Is up and Sim Fein down,
and don't be downhearted because the
rumor gets abroad that Sim Fein is up.
He declared he would see that listers
rights were not interfered with.
Sir James said some people thought
the only way to obtain peace was for
Ulster to give way in some direction.
"They seem to think" he said. that nib
bling at Ulster is like mouse nibbling
at cheese not making much impression
at first, but If the mouse goes on for
month or two the cheese disappears.
That is the effect Of nibbling. Some peo-
pie too think the only way TO knock
down a wall Is with battering ram.
But if they take away the wall piece by
piece and say II Is only little bit OF
brick and mortar they are taking, In
time the wall will 90.
what / wish to convey Is that Ulster
Is not cheese to be nibbled at. Ulster is
rock-granite-that will break the teeth
of those who try to nibble it,
Sir James said that much of the dis
turbance, trouble and bitter anxiety
shaking the Ulster people was fear that
If nothing happened at the peace con-
ference and II It broke down. listers
opponents meantime would have made
some plans for attacking the peaceful
population of Ulster. He then con
tinued:
II want to say regarding that-I can
give NV word for II and can do no more
IL the peace negotiations break down,
and II trouble be anticipated from that
event, I and my advisers at all events
have taken every precaution that could
be taken to provide against that event
uality.
LET US have our Ulster watch dogs
and say It is not the way to peace
to come up here and attempt to take
away our principles and rights. We
are just as able to prepare our plans
as the Sim Fein, and We would be
wanting In our duty IL we allowed
them to sweep over our fair province
and take away one single thing we
treasure as q blessing of empire"
He concluded with an appeal to his
hearers ito show the British public
that the Ulster people are able to con-
troll themselves in time of difficulty"

Love laughs at locksmiths every

at man made laws. This was shown
this week when Joseph Ferre was or
dered to answer to a charge OF having
forged birth certifications and having
presented q couple as his parents when
his own family refused to give their
consent to hts marriage with a wealthy
young woman of that region.
1t all happened In 1919. Although the
young man refused to reveal the
identity of the couple who aided him,
he admitted that he paid 80 francs to
each of them, as well az buying a suit
Of clothes and wedding gown for
them to wear at the ceremony.
The police have now decided to charge
Ferre with forgery. In addition to which
ne will probably have to repeat the
marriage ceremony in order to comply
with the law.
