British Want To Scrap More Submarines
Peace With Germany
To Be Proclaimed
Late Today

by lnternououhs ESoWb coSvsCo.
President Harding today COM
pleted a draft of a proclamation
of peace between the United
States and the Central Powers,
it was learned at the White
House.
The rough draft of the proc
lamation was sent to the State
Department to be put in shape
for PRONUNCIATION.
It is expected that the Presi-
dent will sign the completed
document and issue it late to-
day.
It was also learned that Ger
many has sent q communication
to the United States asking that
this nation defer the naming of
an Ambassador to Germany.
Germany, it is understood,
stated in her communication
that the government has yet been
unable to find q citizen of that
country Of sufficient wealth to
accept the ambassadorial post
Because Of this fact Germany is
anxious that the two nations be
represented only by charge de
affaires for the present.

1t was difficult at first to mag
inc the conference as anything more
than an admirably well-managed So
cial occasion.
Continental Hall is a quite charm
ing building, not too big for intimacy,
not too SMALL for a sufficient gather
ing of people.
The chief members Of the dele
cations had still to assemble; they
were to sit at green baize covered
tables in the body Of the hall.
About this central arena sat the
massed attaches and under the gal
leries the press representatives.
In the boxes clustered the ladies
of the diplomatic world.
Members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Senators, their
friends, and a sprinkling Of privi-
legged people occupied the big gal
leries above.
Like q Very Smart First Night.
There was a great chatter OF con-
versation when I entered. Every
body was greeting friends, fitting
from group to group: II was one OF
those gatherings where everybody
seemed to know everybody. Socially,

gathering could be the beginning OF

Acceptance of Japan
Believed to Hinge on
u. S. FOrtificatiOn Plans
BY DAVID Nj. CHURCH,

Japan will demand a complete un-
derstanding on future development
of naval bases before she makes any
definite and final reply to Americas
suggestion for a ten-year naval holi-
day, it was learned today.

A naval holiday which did not ex

to quit building ships unless she has

A. j. Balfour, head Of the Brit
ish delegation to the armament
conference, probably will go before
the conference tomorrow and make
a speech virtually accepting the
proposal for naval holiday"
made by the United States, it was
said semi-officially at the British
delegation headquarters today.
Wants LoOphOle for Changes.
Mr.. Balfour, in his proposed speech,
however, will ask that certain por-
tions of the proposals be opened for
amendment and further discussion.
Great Britain will ask that the pro-
posals for reduction in the number OF
submarines be amended and that
there be a greater scrapping OF this
instrument Of warfare, II was said.
Proposals also will be made by the
British that methods be established
whereby the machinery for building
battleships will not be total loss.
London Directing Actions.
The British delegation has been in
almost constant communication with
the British Foreign Office since Sat
urday, II was said, and II Is under
stood that whatever statements Mr..
Balfour may make before the confer
ence tomorrow will be in accordance
with instructions which he has re-
ceived from London.
British delegates are confident
Japan will accept the American pro-
posals in general, but expect some
reservations with regard to future
fortification of the Pacific.
1t is not expected in British circles
here that Lloyd George will come to
the United States now, until the ques-
tions regarding Far Eastern policy
are taken up.

WOMEN To

TRY FAT Ty
Thirteen Are Called in First
venire-May Take Week TO

BY ELLIS H. MARTIN.
Iptsrratlsnal Ne~s servics.

SAN FRANCISCO, Now. a.
The task of obtaining a jury of
twelve men and women who viii
determine the guilt or innocence
Of Roscoe ("Fatty') Arbuckle,
charged with manslaughter as the
result of the death Of Virginia
Rappe, film actress, was undertaken
here today.
Is Women In venire.
Thirteen women and fifty-,hree
men were In the venire that up-
peared In Superior Judge Haroid
Lauderbacks court at 10 o'clock to-
day, when the clerk called the case
OF the State versus Arbuckle.
The State had twenty questions
prepared for each juror. Two DAYS
was the most optimistic forecast for
obtaining jury. while some esti-
mated week will be required and
many special venires.
District Attorney Brady, as the
trial started, repeated his challenge
to the defense to put Arbuckle on
the stand. 1t has not been definitely
decided by the defense whether the
film star will take the witness stand.
Defense Relies On Hotel Detective.
As the trial actually opened. il be-
came more and more apparent that
the defense relies heavily on the testi.
mony OF George Glennon, hotel de-
tective, to clear their client. Glei non,

exertion might cause her death. The
State will fight introduction OF this

noon OF the party, was in perfect
health.
The trial, which opened here today,
marked the climax OF one OF Fatty
famous parties.
Held I'm Fashionable Hotel.
1t was given In the fashionable St

ber and lasted three days. According
to prohibition enforcement officials.
tnlrty quarts OF hfgh-class smuggled'
liquors were served. .E
Virginia Rape, accompanied bv
Bambina Msude belmont, went to the
party the morning Of Labor Day, Sep
tember s. The party, attended by q
dozen other men and women, came to
an end when Miss Rappe, seized with
a sudden illness while in room with
Arbuckle, tore off her own clothing.
Four days later she died at a private
sanitarium. The greatest secrecy sur
rounded her death, and an unofficial
autopsy was performed before the
coroner's office was called in.
The autopsy developed the fact that
she came to her death as a result of
a ruptured bladder. A police investi-
cation was begun, and late that night
Chief of Police O'Brien summoned
Arbuckle from Los Angeles to ex.

manager, several friends, and two
attorneys-Milton Cohen and Frank

Captain Peake Foils Plans of
Dangerous Grimm aIs-Cell
Bars Found Sawed.

A daring attempt by a score Of
prisoners Of the District Jail to es-
cape from the institution was frus-
trated yesterday by Capt. William
L. Peake, superintendent of the
prison.
Most of those implicated in the
plot, which was discovered Saturday
by Captain Peake. are under heavy
sentence, and-s preparations were
being mds for their transfer to the
Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kans.
Most Daring Plot in Years.
1t was one OF the most daring plots
To have been attempted at the jail in
recent years. Investigation showed
Verne j. Clark, who is to be sentenced
in the criminal court Friday, had
been sawed out. and one bar had been
sawed from the cell occupied by
Samuel Greenfield, charged with rob-
bing the branch Of the Peoples Com
mercial and Savings Bank, 360S
Georgia avenue, and William Shelby,
held for trial in connection with the
Staying OF Frederick Schnurr. barber.
who lived at 1891 First street north
west.
Planned for 3 O'clock.
The Jail delivery was to occur be-
tween and o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon when religious services were
held in the rotunda of the prison. Dur
ing the services none Of the cell doors
are locked, the prisoners being allow
ed to attend the services IL they so
desire.
According to the plans OF the prfs-
oners. Clark had arranged not to at
tend the services, but to escape from
his cell to a bordering corridor, and
then to file out several bars from a
window of the east wing of the jail,
making his escape. The others in the
plot were to leave the services. go to
Clarks cell and follow in his wake.
Investigation has shown that at
least ten of the inmates were to es-
cape by these means. although II is
believed there were many others in
the plot.
Trusty Gives Tip.
Having been told by trusty Of
the plans of those in the plot, Cap
tain Peake made arrangements ac-
cordingly. He did not warn them, or
let il be known that he was aware
Of the plans to escape. But, with 4
half dozen guards scattered about the
grounds, Captain Peake waited for
Clark's escape"
Orders were to shoot to KILL
said Captain Peake. These plots
fostered by prisoners to escape have
got to stop. have frequently
warned against attempts OF prisoners
to escape and in this case, Clark
would have got the worst end of the
deal"
Prisoners Tipped Off, Too.
II was ready for the escape Of the
prisoners" continued Peake, but 1
am OF the opinion they had been
tipped that we were waiting for them.
For this reason they did not come out
OF the prison"
Later in the afternoon, after the re-
ligious services, Captain Peake
searched the cells of the prisoners.
Two bars of Clarks cell, No. 213, had
been sawed through, but were held in
place with soap. In the cell occupied
by shelby and Greenfield, one of the
bars of the window leading into the
corridor also had been sawed out and
held in place with soap.
The search I'm the cells revealed five
hacksaws, about six inches long. One
of these saws was found in Clark 8

But, at least, an attempt is
made to stop the spending be-
fore the nations are bankrupt,
and that is something. The
United States offers to do more,
IN limiting herself, than she asks
England or japan to do. She
scraps more, sacrifices more,
takes second place on the sea,
although she could afford first
place, with a big margin.
Alarmed patriots that wonder
why England should have a navy
one-sixth bigger, for the present,
than our own are reminded that
with her danger points all over
the earth, England would need a
navy twice as big as ours to be,
for purposes of defense (not at
tack), as well protected.

her small possessions, with a
navy so per cent of ours, or
England's, is better armed, in
