private citizens, as none of the nine
powers in the conference has recog-
nized either the far eastern republic
or the troubled Merkuloff govern

however, occupies less clear-cut

expressed are reported in documents
which reached here several Gays Gays ago: go

Most Of these are agreements which

Though a number of persons know
the proposals which have been made
by Japan at the Dairen conference,
am not able to discuss them, as they
are officially secret" said Boris E.
Skvirsky, one of the mission from
Chita. Progress at the conference
has been slow. 1t would sit for a
day. when the delegates would ad-
journ to ask Instructions from their
governments. wait for two weeks and
hold another days session.
Responsibility Is Disclaimed.
Two differences on which there
seemed to be no hope of agreeing were
the Nikolaievsk events and the avacua-
tion of the Japanese troops We were
willing to have responsibility for Niko-
laievsk fixed by an impartial commits
sion investigation, but We do not con-
slider ourselves responsible for that un-
fortunate affair. Whenever the evacua-
tion Of Japanese troops was mentioned
we were informed that anything re-
domestic affair of Japan and that evac-
uation could not be put in the light Of
a payment for a trade treaty or agree
ment."
Two separate japanese expeditions
are now in Siberia. One is as Vladi-
vostok, a survivor Of the allied assist
ance to Kolchak. The other is in the
Sa aghalien district, the district including
a considerable portion of the mainland
around the mouth of the Amur as well
as the northern half of the island of
that name. Evacuation of the Vladi-
vostok expedition. which has been sue
cessively justified as aiding kolchak,
evacuating the Czechs and safeguarding
life and property. has been promised by
Toxic for more than year. Tie last
cables said that a new division was
sent from Japan to replace it a few
days ago. AS to the Saghalien expedi-
ton, Japan has consistently said that
it will not be evacuated until Chita ac-
knowledges responsibility for Niko-
laievsk.

The evening before the opening of
the conference, Mr.. Balfour said, he
and Secretary Hughes had a private
conversation, the subject of which
was the coming meeting. Mr.. Hughes
then asked him to move that the
American Secretary take the chair
after President Harding had con-

He quoted Mr.. Hughes as follows:

thirty-five minutes, but 1 shall not

PROPOSALS SENT
TO TOXIC BY kAT0
Admiral Expects Week Will
Pass Before Reply Is
Received.
Copyright. 1921

That he had sent various propo-
sails" to his government in Toxic.
along with the proposal for the linn
itation of naval ornaments. for that
government to pass upon was ad-
mitted last night by Admiral Baron
kato, head of the japanese delega-
ton.
Il cannot at present say what
those proposals were," continued the
admiral
The japanese spokesman said that
it would probably take a week to
get a response from Japan to these
proposals. They would be considered
first, he said, by the department of
the navy, since limitation of naval
armament was included, then by the
cabinet and by the so-called advisory
diplomatic council. The final decision,
he said, would be made by the cabinet
Questions of Import.
Admiral Kato admitted that ''ques-
tions of political import" were con-
taiEed in the proposals. seeming to
bear out the reports that the propo-
sails contain propositions for a gen
eral understanding among the prin-
cipal powers on far eastern questions
and also a Limitation of armaments in
naval bases in the Pacific.
Published suggestions that Japan
was playing a bargaining game" at
the Washington conference were de-
MED emphatically by Admiral Baron
kato in statement to the press.
He pointed out that the question of
Limitation of naval armament in
Japan was one of great Importance,
and one to which the Japanese gov
ton, in view of all the issues in
volved, before taking action. This
fact, taken into consideration with
the delay on the cables, necessarily
was causing some delay, he said.
Text of Statement.
His statement is as follows:
1.-The question of Limitation of
naval armament involves issues
which are of far-reaching effect upon
the national and international life of
Japan and on the policies Of great
powers for decades to come and per-
haps permanently. These issues
should be brought to the full knowl-
edge and consideration of the Japa-
nese government before definite &C
tion is taken. Unfortunately, there
are at present serious delays on the
cables and naturally the consultation
with Toxic on such important prob
lens cannot be completed in too short
a space OF time.
Sees Hope for Success.
'In any case. 1 am, as have al
ways been, firmly convinced that the
conference should be able to agree
upon plans of adjustment that will be
fair to all parties and will incalcul-
ably benefit not only the nations con-
cerned. but the whole world. No o>ef-
fort will be spared on my part or that
of my colleagues to bring the various
questions to the earliest possible con-
clusion consistent with wisdom and
foresight
my attention has been called within
the past few dsys to newspaper ar
|ticlee containing intimations that
Japan is playing what is called a bar
gaining game. I think that no one
within the conference would make
any such charge. 1t is contrary to the
facts 1t is much to be regretted that
such an unworthy motive should be
linked in the popular mind with the
honest endeavors for the betterment
and progress of mankind"

Guarantees for France

Reports from France show a wide
spread sentiment that disarmament
on the Continent Is only possible if
France has binding guarantees that
Germany will be forced to fulfill the
terms Of the Versailles Treaty and
that France will be protected
against future German aggressions.
To many Americans the French at
titude toward Germany seems too
irreconcilable. But it is founded on
solid reasons.
In the present case the facts, we'll
known as they should be in this
country. but often forgotten, are that
twice within the memory of man
France has been invaded by Ger
many, and to-day Germany already
talks of third attack. France has
come out of the war with weakened
man power and financial strength.
Germany has been only slightly Grip
pied. The fighting in the last war
was mostly on French soil. So,
doubtless, 1t will be if there Is an

British Bunker Hill Monunen,
tFyom TIE London Times

tF,on, TIE London Times
Many people on both sides of the At
lantic have given their names to the
furtherance Of scheme for erecting a
monument on the top Of Bunker Hill,
adjoining Hampstead Heath, to com.
memorate the 1act that during the
great war Americans and Englishmen
fought side by side in the cause of
right and liberty.
1t is recalled that on the summit of
the Bunker Hill near Boston there is
a monument to commemorate the bat
tie of ITS, when the American troops
fought agsinst the troops sent from
England, and it has occurred to the
supporters of the present proposal that
it would be a happy thing if, while
the one Bunker Hill tells of enmity. the
other should tell Of unity.
On the top of the Bunker Hill near
London there is nothing now but a
hedge and some trees, and the plan is
that so much of the hill as the money
available allows should be purchased
Tor the purpose Of the memorial. It
is further suggested that on the top
of the hill could be built curved wall
ten or twelve feet high and that the
front of the wall could be inscribed
with the names of the regiments and
the commanding officers of the Ameri-
can and English armies who fought to

Conserving Men and Women

Human beings merit conservation
no less than forests, mines and other
natural resources. That is the gist
of the proposal now before Congress,
authorizing the Public Health Service
to examine children who are brought
into the courts of the District of Co.
lumbia as delinquents.
One Of the finest sociological
achievements Of modern science has
been that in connection with the
psychology of crime, the discovery
and demonstration of the fact that
delinquent children, neglected or
lacking appropriate treatment, grow
into practically incorrigible crimi-
nails or wastrels, but if suitably cared
for develop into competent and moral
adults.
DR.. William Healy, of Boston,
founder of the first psychopathic
clinic, estimates that the cost to this
nation CT caring for adult delin-
quents who could have been cared
for in their youth amounts to hun
dreds of millions Of dollars a year.
If that cost can be saved by an ex-
penditure of small fraction of it
doing so will be a splendid achieve
ment in economics, apart from it's
humane significance.
We are learning to care for the
physical health of children, so as
markedly to diminish the infantile
and juvenile death rate. There is a
work of no less Importance to be
done in caring for their mental and
moral health, SO as to diminish the
percentage of delinquents and defec-

Anti tuberculosis Rules
Approved Regimen for Prevention
of the Disease
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: One evidence of the markedly
increased interest in the battle against
tuberculosis that is being so actively
fought in this city is the fact that we
are asked to give information not only
as to how to deal with the disease but
how to prevent it. To meet this most
encouraging demand-since prevention
is always so much better than cure
we have prepared the following, com
pressed into the smallest possible com.
pass:
/. Fresh Air-Don't work or sleep in
rooms where there is no fresh air. AL
ways have at least one window open
in your bedroom. The window should
be open at the top as we'll as at the
bottom. If possible, walk in the open
air every day. Never ride if you can
walk. Open the doors and windows OF
your room several times a day and let
the stale air blow out and the n
air come in.
2. Food--Eat wholesome and nourish-
ishing food. Eat slowly and chew your
food we'll. Don't eat between meals
Drink water freely between and dur
ing meals.
3. Clothing--Clothing must be suit
able to the seasons. Wear warm I'm.
derwear in cold weather. The use Of g
chest protector is harmful. It is of
the utmost Importance to keep the feet
warm as well as dry. Wear rubbers in
damp or snowy weather and WOODEN
stockings in winter
4. Cleanliness-Kee yourself clean
Take warm bath with soap at least
once week and daily shower if pos
slble. Wash your hands thoroughly
tefore each meal. Brush your teeth
twice day, in the morning and before
going to bed.
5. Rest-Take some time to rest dur
ing the day. When you get home from
work rest, If only for few minutes,
oefore eating the evening meal. Get
pienty Of sleep. Don't hurry. Don't
worry. II you have cough Or cold
that hangs on" go to a doctor or TO
the nearest tuberculosis clinic for ex-
animation.
9. A Warning-There is no medicine
that cures tuberculosis. All medicine
advertised as cures" are cruel frauds.
Dcn't waste your money or your time
on them.
For the good of New York, we shall
bs glad to give additional helpful in
formation to all who may inquire of us.
