GEDDES VISIT TO
 ENGLAND CAUSES SPECULATION ON PURPOSE UT TRIP
Naval Disarmament, Anglo American Debt And Inde-
 pendence Of Canada May Be Discussed with George
TRepubIiean A. p. Leased WireI


 LONDON. Jan. 17.-csovernment of- ficials are displaying reticence con- cerning both the visit of Sir Muck land GedGes. the British ambassador at Washington, and Lord Chalmers post poned mission to the United States. The coincidence of the ambassadors 8 return with this postpouement points 10 the likelihood that the question of the Anglo American debt will be the chief subject of his conferences with the government.
 The ambassadors visit, which it was reported, was undertaken on a nasty summons from Premier Lloyd George. cxcites great speculation. There is no question of possible controversy be- tween the two countries. which is left unmentioned by the American corre- spondents of the English newspapers, to explain the visit. It is alleged by one rhat Canada is showing indepen- dence, claiming greater freedom from the jurisdiction of the privy council and a separate legation at Washington.
 This correspondent reiterates that American statesmanship is seeking ap- proach to the dominions on the Pacific question. In this connection, 1t is sug- gested in some quarters that Lloyd George may be anxious to consult Sir Auckland when the colonial office is changing hands following upon Lord Miners resignation.
 What appears to be quite certain is that naval disarmament will be dis cussed. There have been conflicting reports fin recent days, some to the ef- feet that the committee on imperial defense will decide against the build Ing of more capital ships, others that no decision has yet been reached.
 The postponement of the Chalmers mission is not altogether unwelcome There had been many protests against any hasty settlement of the debt ques. tion. which were fortified by rumors that conversion into long term obli- gations was to have been on basis ol 5ls per cent interest.

 SENDING REPORT. IF B|GF|vE PROBE .TO PARLIAMENT
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-Attention of members .of. congress was called to- day by fthe Institute of American Meat Packers to proposals submitted to the British parliament regarding the meat industry and said to be designed to restrain American packers rom further extending their world trade.
 The institute, in an open letter to senators and representatives trans hitting a report to parliament by a sub committee of the standing com mittee on trusts, says this report was a "consequence of the deuoerate cir culation in foreign countries by the federal trade commission of the com missions report on its investigation of the ''big five" packers conducted by direction of President Wilson.
 It is charged by the institute that the trade commission not only fur nished copies of it's report to represen- tatives here of foreign governments, but also asked the diplomatic bureau of the state department to transmit copies direct to those governments.
 The commission. it is charged, sent to the diplomatic bureau a form letter to be used in transmitting the report, saying:
 summary of the report of the federal trade commission on the meat indus try which was recently released for publication by President Wilson and which may be of interest to your gov ernment.
 By this form letter" says the in stitute President Wilson was made to extend the invitation to foreign governments to take the fundament2l action which the commission said was necessary to prevent international control of meat products by the American packers"
 The institute says that members of congress after reading the British com mittee's report, which quotes from the trade commission report, will appre- ciate the serious disaster which threat
 ems the livestock industry of this country as a consequence of the de- liberate circulation in foreign coun- tries by the federal trade commission American packers" <"
 | The British committees report says | "No complaint was made Cat hearings | held by it) of unfair trading by the | American companies beyond severe
 cutting of prices for the purpose of | developing trade or clearing surplus stocks." but it charges that there ts | at least a tacit understanding between | the American meat companies to re- l SPSSt Sdeit o1AAot . PoSAt4oiA NAiNh Se cures to them all the economic ad- ! vantages of an active combination. :" The committee recommends that 'it | should be the declared policy of His l Majesty's government to prevent the | percentage of the beer trade, which is
 at present in foreign hands, from in-
 creasing to the loss of producers al home and in the dominions and Of British importing companies" and l that expansion of foreign interests ir

[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased WlreI


 BOSTON. Jan. 17-Resolutions pro- testing against the propaganda of mis- representation and Justification, touch ing the so called blue laws which were never enacted or enforced" were adopt ed at a meeting of the Lords day league of New England, and the Evangelical Alliance of Greater Boston, today.
 Rev. H. L. Bowlby of New York, General Secretary of the Lorld's Day alliance of the United States, said his organization was not seeking a return to the stringent laws of the puritans, but that it's concern was to prevent commercial interests from putting the dollar mark across Sunday
 The time has come when men in public office must draw the line be- tween the American Christian Sabbath and the continental Sunday being fOisted on us"
 He denied that the alliance desired the closing of restaurants, stopping of railway traffic or suspension of news papers on Sunday. He opposed Sunday theatrical performances or sacred con certs because there was nothing sac red about them; it's the dollar"

TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel


 MEXICO CITY, Jan. 17-Samuel Gompers today was reelected president of the Pan- American Federation of Labor. His election followed three hours debate in which there was a split, the Mexicans, Salvadoreans and Guatemalans voting against the unanf- nous acceptance of the resolution nom- mating MT. Gompers.
 The next session of the congress will be held in Guatemala City.
 Tn addition to Mir. Campers, John P. Frey, James Lord and Luis Morones, the latter a Mexican, were nominated for the presidency. All. including MT Gompers, declined to accept the nom- ination. MT. Gompers was then renom- mated and reelected.
 Although some of the Guatemalan, Salvadorcan and Mexican delegates en- practically opposed Mir. Gompers, the solid American, Santo Domingo and Porto Bico ballot, swung the others into line when it appeared he would be de- feated.
 Open threats of bolt from the Pan- American Federation of Labor confer ence by the Spanish speaking delegates came today after stormy morning session, the possible defection hingins on the delay of Samuel Gompers, il directing a message to President Will son concerning the American occupa- ton of Santo Domingo.
 Mir. Gompers was asked by the SantC Domingan delegates to answer a ques- ton whether a telegram protesting against the American occupation and demanding an immediate evacuation o1 the island had been sent in accordance with the resolution approved by tho labor congress Friday.
 MT. Gompers' reply that he desired to modify the text of the telegram, al the American government had declared itself in favor of evacuation, started 1 heated argument in which the Latin American policy of the United State was bitterly criticised by the Domini can, Salvadorean and Mexican dele gates.
 Senor Solana of Salvador declare that his delegation would abandon tn congress unless MT. Gompers immedi ately sent the telegram. The Donffsi can and Colombian delegations assert ed later that they would act likewise. | Although the trouble originated wit | the technical refusal of Mir. Gomper | to abide in detail by the resolutio passed unanimously, it is said that be hind it was an effort by the Spanis speaking delegates to test thei strength against the American delega ton.
 Talk of busting MT. Gompers as pres ident of the Pan-American federatio was prevalent among the Spanish dele gates

HARDING SAYS OUTLOOK FOR
 FUTURE IS BRIGHT
CRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Both long term credits and investments in Euro pean securities are called for by the present situation to supplement ordin- ary banking activities in effecting the economic and financial rehabilitation of foreign countries, Governor Harding of the federal reserve board declared in an address tonight.
 Speaking on "working back to nor nal" he asserted that whatever danger of crisis there may have been is passed and that a bright future is ahead, to be attained through hard and intelligent work.
 Production must continue if the coun- try is to prosper, the governor said, but surplus production must be dis posed of by sale to foreign countries.
 Continuance of trade with Europe is vital, Governor Harding declared, and the maintenance of trade relationships of other countries with Europe" is scarcely less important. e "Otherwise there will be a constaf1S tendency" he explained, towards ac- emulation here of goods, principally raw materials, from those countries which have been in the habit of selling to Europe, but which now, on account of Europe's inability to pay and their own inability to extend credit, are ship ping to the United States to sell for cash.
 Referring to the unsettled exchange situation, he said "that it would be vain to expect to finance our exports to Europe by means of short time bankers credits"
 "The war finance corporation has been revived" he said, land it is au- thorized to extend credits in export transactions sbut it is evident that new agencies must be resorted to in order to furnish Europe with long time credit which is so essential for her rehabiIi- tation and for her continuance as a po- tential buyer in the worlds markets

 When the number was reached, I either persuaded him to enter with me or brought forth the pistol. In either case, I took him into the room where Kurt took his money.
 Tt was simple Some times we held up five or six persons a day. It made me wonder why I spent 23 wears on a farm ii was so eaSVn

CONGRESS LIMITS ! REGULAR ARMY TO
 l75,OOO ENLISTED
 MEN-UP WILSON
RESOLUTIONS PASS IN BOTH HOUSES DESPITE RECOMMENDATIONS OF WAR DEPARTMENT HEADS AND GENERAL PERSHING
[RepubIIoan A. p. Leased wIrs1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-Congress voted today to limit the regular army to 175,000 enlisted men.
 The senate, 41 to 3S set aside its decision of last week to reduce the army to 150s000 and then without a rec ord vote adopted the original joint res olution of Senator New, Republican of Indiana, directing the secretary of war to stop recruiting until the army is cut to 175,0oo.
 The house 10 minutes later adopted, 285 to 5, a joint resolution sponsored by Chairman Kahn of its military af- fairs committee, also directing the sec retary of war to cease enlistments until there are not more than 175,000 en- listed men. Only Representatives Bee, Texas; Blackmon, Alabama: and Crafnton, Michigan, Republican, op- posed the reduction.
 The two resolutions are almost iden- tical.
 Today's action was taken against the recommendations of war depart ment heads and General Pershing. Secretary Baker before the senate military committee, advised against an army of less than 25n.00o after the present necessity of economy had been relieved" General Pershing declared an army of 100000 men constituted a safety margin.
 The senate vote sho- d that severai l senators who last week went on recofd | as favoring an army of 150,000 had changed about. placing their support behind the 175,000 figure. Some sen ators said privately that they believed President Wilson would sign a resolu- tion placing the army at 175.o00 but would not approve smaller number.
 Jap Question Debated
 There was no party division in the senate and the final votes were taken after an afl-day debate. enlivened by | a clash between Senator Phelan, Dem ocrat, California and Williams, Demo crat, Mississippi, over Japanese az gression. Senator Phelan urged strong CT garrison of Pacific posts and Sen ator Williams declared that Japan had neither power nor desire to fight this 1 California" regarding Japanese ques- tions.
 Referring to suggestion by Senator Phelan, that disposition of the Island of Yap with its cable communications was a delicate problem remaining for ad- 1 justment, Senator Williams declared it was not a question which would in- voive America in war
 "Three-fourt of the senators cont know where | ap IS, ne SSsld. let we are trying to yap a big army and yap against the Japanese and yap against an army of 150000."
 Called up unexpectedly. the Kahn resolution in the house provoked par tisan debate in which Republicans charged Secretary Baker has violated the will of congress in running the army strength above the figure for which appropriations were made. There was little opposition to the reduction however, when put to a vote.
