TERRIFIC WIND STORM
DEVASTATES BUFFALO
One Man Killed, Several lnjur-
ed; Property Damage in
City Is Great.

Buffalo, ". "a 95-mile an hour
gale swept the city Sunday, uprooting
trees, tearing down chimneys. smash
ing plate glass windows and piling up
the water in the harbor to an UMPIRE
cedented stage. One man was killed.
The damage throughout the city was
great, but heaviest losses occurred
along the waterfront where 300-foot
wireless tower was demolished. Boat
houses and small docks were swept
away and several hundred Of pleasure
craft were smashed or carried down
the river.
A window thatch, torn from the top
Of business block, fell on passing
automobile, killing Frank K. Kiefer,
one Of the two occupants, and injuring
the other seriously.
Two women were caught under a
falling tree. One of them, Miss Mar
garet Cochrane, sustained both legs
broken. Her sister, Katharine, was
internally injured, and fireman had to
cut away part of the tree before she
could be released.
The wind blowing from the south
west directly down Lake Erie piled up
the water until Bril- Island pier and
Squaw island were almost completely
submerged. Nearly 100 squatters'
shanties were carried out into Niagara
river. Their occupants were rescued
by police. firemen and coast guard
crews.
Three ferry boats used in the service
between Buffalo and Fort Erie were
piled on the rocks between the river
and the canal.
At TOnawanda the water rose eight
feet above normal, flooding the large
lumber yards there and carrying thou
sands of feet Of timber into the river
and over Niagara Falls.
Seldom has such volume of water
poured over the brink of the Niagara
cataract as Sunday.
Many islands just above the falls
were submerged for the first time in
years. Great property damage was
done In the upper river between La
Sale and Niagara Falls to Riverside
lighthouses and motorboats. One esti-
mate of the property loss there is
| 100000. No loss of life was reported
there.

FRANCE ACCEPTS HUGHES

more to say on this subject.
Washington.-A five-power treaty to
limit naval armament apparently has
been brought much nearer by a new
move on the part of France.
Fresh Instructions for the French
delegation, said unofficially to include
Premier Brands acceptance of the
American proposal for French naval
strength, reached Washington Monday
and impelled the French delegates to
negotiations while they decided the
message and read its contents.
They had presented a proposal for
twice as great French capital ship
fleet as that provided under the Amer
lean figures and they are not ready to
believe their home government has so
quickly accepted the lesser proposition
unless there are important conditions
attached. In some quarters it is re-
garded as probable that the message
from Nj. BRAND, which is of consider
able length. makes the capital ship ar
rangementS contingent on settlement
regarding auxiliary craft which will
give France what she wants in sub
marines and cruisers.
Some surprise Is felt at French
headquarters over what is regarded as
the unusual course taken by Chairman
Hughes in bringing to the attention of
the French government the situation
which had arisen through other chan
nels than the head Of the delegation In

The public is invited and at the

opportunity for general discussion OF
the submarine problem.
Organizations belonging to tho
council, with a membership of over
seven million, have petitioned for the
abolition Of submarines, and the

MEXICO EAGER
To SAFEGUARD
j. s. INTERESTS
CONTINUED from First Page)


Secretary PAM met this
touchy question after a moments
thought by saying:
The Mexican Government does net
assume for q minute that any Interior
influences can have any effect en-
your government. There may be such
Interior influences which would like
to impede what we regard as a mat
ter of justice and of international
amity.
But the matter which the Wall
Street Journal has published and its
policies and other reports and ness
matter which might be regarded as
propaganda against recognition, we DO
not assume can have any influence On
any department of your : vri1iinent
concerned with this question.
"Mexico's position on this point ID
this:-The matter of recognition by
the United States is based on good
faith and open methods. 1t would be
very hard-it would be impossible-for
us to believe that anything not on
those lines of good faith and open
methods could have any influence on
the United States.
"The Mexican Government VIII D.

any reports of publications influenced
by those hostile to recognitlon' De they

Japan's Demands Upon Far Eastern
Republic Menace Peace of Orient

under which claims Of rights may
hereafter be asserted"
What hoax this item becomes,
IL the Japanese demands to the
China government be permitted to
stand unchallenged at the arms
conference. But the conference is
impatient to get away from Wash
ington. Already British and French
Representatives have left. Prince
1okugawa, chairman of the Japan
csc delegation, has announced that
he expects to leave next week.
II these signs count for anything,
the Siberian question will go un-
touched.
1t would be well here to warn
the conference that this Is a critical
test Of it's good faith. That good
faith has already been severely
strained. The success of the con-
ference does not lie in its ability
to write treaties and agreements
whose simple words hide, secret
war commitments. The success
does not lie in its ability to phrase
high sounding resolutions that APP
peal to sentiment as cloak for
dark intrigues.
The conference will be measured
by it's honesty. II it adjourns with
out having taken up the Siberian
questions that are on its agenda,
IL will be a confession Of false pre-
tense. 1t will be an admission Of
it's manifest dishonesty. 1t will
be proof Of it's violation Of funda-
mental honor and decency. 1t
will faint everey resolution II has
passed. 1t will kill every treaty
IL has written.

try to gather up the loose ends of a
naval agreeemnt.
The entente cordiale between the
French and British delegations has
been severely Jared by Frances re-
fusal to accept limitation on her
auxiliary ship program. 1t has SUI
fered a number of hard bumps since
the conference began on November IL,
but none SO great as that occassioned
by Frances defeat of the naval holi-
day plan, and her fatty announced
determination to build up great fleet
of submarines.
So intense has been the feeling en-
gendered by Developments in WASH
ington that II Is likely to have a
repercussipn in Cannes early in jan
uary, when the Allied Premiers meet
to discuss economic and financial
matters.
Seldom have the statesmen VI two
great and supposedly friendly pow
ers addressed each other in an inter-
national gathering with the candor
and pointed suggestion that charac-
terized the debate between A. j. Bal
four and M. Sarraut over the sub
marine controversy.
While still maintaining the out
matte amenities, British spokesman,
in the conference and In talking with
newspaper correspondents, lay the
blame for the failure Of the naval
holiday plan directly at Frances
door. disappointment" and "amaze-
ment" are expressed over the French
attitude.
The French. in return, do not con-
ceal their resentment at the attempted
dictation by Great Britain" The atti-
tude assumed by the French spokes-
men is that France herself is the best
judge Of Frances needs. France needs
ends the matter.
Holiday Is Now Just a Shell.
Only the loose ends Of the naval
up as a result of latest developments
The ten-year naval holiday remains
only the shell Of a holiday.
The first crack in it appeared when
Great Britain was given permission to
build two more superdreadnaughts
and the United States was given per-
mission to complete two Of her latest
dreadnaughts, in return for Japan's
retention of her priced Mutsu.
The crack widened to a yawning
chasm when France refused to accent
sulting in the prompt announcement
by Great Britain's spokesman that
Pritain would regretfully feel COM
PEELED to decline anylimitation in the
number of auxiliary ships which she
will have to build to offset the French
submarine program.
Another crack appeared when
France formally announced her ac-
ceptance of the 1.75 ratio, provided
she was allowed to begin building re-
placements in 1927 instead of in 1891,
as proposed.
The net result Of these amendments
to the original scheme, 1t was ad-
mitted by officials today is that there
will be naval building throughout the
entire ten years, and the holiday will
be holiday in name only.
Auxiliary naval ships will keep the
shipyards of all nations going full
blast. and 1t was predicted today that
1t will take Great Britain all of six
or eight years to construct her two
super -dreadnaughts. The bugaboo Of
idle shipworkers and rusting
machinery has disappeared. Naval
fighting craft will be constructed, al
though they will be smaller craft.
When the powers met again today
to renew the naval discussion, three
auxiliary propositions were before
them for decision.
