started afresh.

AMERICAN PEACE COMMISSIONER
BELIEVES AMERICA SHOULD

WANTS NAVY REDUCED

Washington, Jan. 22.-Another o
the American commissioners VIII,
helped draft the treaty of Versailles
Henry White, ambassador to France
under President Itooseyelt-told tn
House naval committee that the tim'
was ripe for world disarmament ant
that the United States should initiate

and Acting Secretary Davis of the

Mr.. White gave as his opinion thai
the great burden of taxation result
ing from the war made the peoples OF
all nations anxious to cut down on
expenditures for ornaments. He eX
pressed it that the world was "crylna
for some agreement" to limit arma
ments as a means of reducing taxes

under way. He said he would like ia

sizes of navies could be fixed by
agreement mt the proposed conference,
He added that questions raised mt the
conference might show ''the right of
some nations 49, Great Britain for In.
stance-to a larger navy than others"
Because of the threatened spread of
Bolshevism, the witness said. France
might object 10 disarmament on land.
In this connection, he said, that "thc
state of chaos" in which Germany had
been kept over PREPARATIONS was doing
more TO open the way To Bolsheyism
than any other single factor.
As to the time of calling a confer
ence, Mr.. White said that should be
left TO P~resident-elect Harding. He
did not think President Wilson should
call IT as the fact that he would re-
tire March 4 might lead other nations
not to take the invitation seriously.
While the hearings were in progress
before the House committee, Senator
France, Republican, Maryland, pre-
scented 10 the Senate a proposal that
the United States, Great Britain and
japan agree to a reduction by 1895 of
one-fourth Of their relative naval
strength on next July I.
senator France embodied his pro-
p0sal in an amendment to the pending
resolution of Senator Borah, Republi-
can, Idaho, directing the President TO
call a conference of the three principal
powers for reduction of their naval
building program. The Maryland SEN
ator's resolution would create a COM
mission of naval experts of the three
powers to arrange gradual reductions
between now and 1885.

SEVEN KILLED IN DISORDERS
NEAR DUBLIN.
WRECK SINN FEINERS HOMES IN
CORK AS START ON NEW
TACTICS.

Cork, Ireland, Jan. 2l.-The first
crown forces in Cork city since mar
tial law WAS enforced in this area
was carried out when two houses in
Washington street, where two men,
bers of the royal Irish constabulary
were attacked, were destroyed by mil
itary forces.
The military authorities assert
crown forces were fired on from six
houses in Washington street and that
"the two worst were selected for de-
struction.
A large force of military arrived
and drew Il Gordon around several
blocks, and no n was permitted to
enter or leave. Dryers wholesale
drapery, the largest in southern Ire
land, was searched. The work of
blowing up the designated houses was
gone about carefully to prevent dam
age to adjoining property.
The houses selected for reprisals
are said to have been occupied by
wellknown Sim Fem sympathizers,
who we're given warning to clear out.
They were permitted to remove their
furniture. and then military engineers
prepared for the demolition. Mean
while Officers with drawn reyolyers
ordered the large crowd that had
gathered to disperse, saying that 9th
erwise il would be fired on.
Ten loud explosions followed at in
tervals of several minutes, causing
CONSERVATION. However, no fires
broke out and no visible damage had
been done to houses outside the zone.
A proclamation was issued by the
military authorities announcing that
the curfew on Saturday and Sunday
would begin hereafter at . p. m.
A majority of the ambushes and 9th

In the first formal Interview given

a success. lie discussed the reprisals
and his letter to the acting lord mayor
explaining that he expected aid from
the citizens through n vigilance com

not allude TO his report ON the burning
of Cork.
