Much Wheat Held
With threshing completed and the
demand for storage space reduced, the
volume of wheat shipments is continu-
ing at comparatively low point, al
though traffic officials declare that the
amount Of wheat held in elevators and
ON the farms is considerably larger

filled and with the wheat market at

1t was the wish of Secretary
Hughes and his colleagues to pro-
pose a program so generous to the
other two powers that there would
be every reason to expect its accept
ance as evidence of American good
faith. SO far as the program az pre-
scented goes, some naval officers here
see in ii items which they believe
could have been presented in better
terms for the United States without

Representatives Of Diff

ject Which Presents
Greatest Obstacle To
Disarmament

Warrington, Nov 16-(By the AS
sociatod Press.) Problems of the Far
East, whose solution is adjudged an
intergral part of the question of ar
| maments took the center of attention
at the arms conference today while
he plan for reduction of naval es-
! tai allishments was passing through
period of technical examination at the
hands of committee of experts.
For the first time the delegations of
The United States. Great Britain,
France, Japan, Italy; China, Belgium,
Portugal and the Netherlands, acting
as a committee of the whole on the
Far Eastern questions, assembled for
preliminary discussion and to lay
plans for procedure.
In contrast to the manner i'll which

sent, once the negotiations began but
no one seemed anxious to break the
ice. The attitude of the United States
that the interest of this government is
rot nearly so direct in the Far East
ern situation as it was in the ques-
tiun or armaments. Both China and
Japan appeared to prefer to wait and
fdmiliariZe themselves with the at
mosphere oi the conference before
laying down their view in detail.
Great Britain also had failed to give
any indication of a Willingness to take
the initiative. while all the other pow
ers felt that their more or less remote
relationship to the Far Eastern tan
gle should prompt them to remain in
the background for the present.
The general prediction was that as
i result of the task of redrafting a
method of procedure would be en-
trusted to a smaller committee. just
us details OF the naval armaments
program have been left temporarily to
the committee OF naval experts. In
the case of the Far Eastern question.
however, it was expected that all nine
of the nations represented here would
have membership on the committee
and would unite their influence to
hasten the committee work so that
the Far Eastern discussions might
take rank as soon as possible abreast
of the more advanced negotiations on
armament.
While the delegates were beginning
their actual consideration of the sec

conference, the naval experts COM

but they admit that air developments

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 16.-Insuffcient
appropriations to enable the civil SER
vice commission to investigate the
moral character and record of per-
sons certified for government service
is probably responsible for even
criminality and dishonesty" in the
service, John H. Bartlett, president
of the commission, declared in an adj
dress here today before the conven-
ton of the National Civil Service Re-
form League.
On account of insufficient funds
with which to man the undertaking
Mr.. Bartlett told the convention, "the
civil service commission is annually
examining over 100000 applicants for
federal positions and are certifying
those who attain a scholastic rating
of 70 per cent and over without max
ing any examination or investigation
whatever of their moral character,
criminal record habits, reputation,
industry, faithfulness, workfulness,
veracity or loyalty. The rating the
thing which determines their rela-
tive positions on the eligible register,
does not take in account even frac-

character, indifference, or bad char
acter, but is wholly and purely schol-
astic.'
Referring to what he characterized
as the recent shocking disclosures of
criminality in the city of Washington
where at this time policeman is
held for the theft of an automobile,
Mr. Bartlett declared the commission
had determined on account of this,
although there as no provision for il,
to make character investigations and
ratings henceforth in certifying ap-
plicants for the Washington police
force The $4,000 employees Of the
federal government are the very pro-
tectors of our lives and the guardians
of our property" the speaker assert
ed, "yet, with the recent exception oi
postmasters, they are certified fol
without regard to their character oil

"The quality of these federal EN-
ployes,' he added, absolutely deter.
mines the quality of our government

idly improving Mr.. Barrett said
