seamen. who were being taken to
Charleston on board the Graham for
distribution among various naval sta

Graham. attended by the coast guard

Confusion of signals was said by the
Graham's crew to have caused the
collision. They appeared to be misun-

Pacific Peace Treaty Signed and

CHINA PROBLEM IS HARDER
Irish Pact Before British Parliament
and Dali Eireann for Ratification
War Between Chile and
Peru Threatend Over
Taena-Arica.
BY EDWARD w. PicKARo

G TEADILY and sanely the Washing
- ton conference Is performing the
great task which President HaSting
set for It. Such was the progress
made last week that II seemed likely
the major problems would be solved
before the holidays and that the con-
ference would adjourn. leaving details
to be settled by experts and certain OF
the questions to be handled by future
conferences.
The way was cleared effectively by
the Quadruple agreement for stabiliza-
ton Of peace In the Pacific. This, In
the form of a treaty, was signed on
Tuesday by the delegates OF the four
powers and now awaits formal ratifi-
cation by the legislative bodies Of
those nations. That II will be ratified
In Great Britain. France and japan Is
beyond doubt, and there are few who
think that the American senate will
not also accept 1t. Senator Borah Of
course has announced his opposition
to the treaty, and Senators Reed and
LaFollette stand with him. They pro-
fess to find In Its second article com
mitments similar to those In Article
10 Of the League of Nations covenant.
and even worse than the latter. So
far no one else worth mentioning has
discovered the terrible danger In Ar
ticle 2. Those who approve Of the
treaty-and they appear to be decid-
eddy In the majority both In the SEN
ate and In the country generally
agree with Premier Takahashi OF
Japan, who says the pact Is "the
grandest contribution to the cause Of
peace ever recorded In history"
There were rumors In Washington
that former President Wilson was ad-
yising the Democratic senator's to
fight the treaty, but more reliable re-
ports were to the effect that he had
urged them not to commit themselves
until the conference had completed Its
work and the pact could be studied
In Its relations to the other agreements
reached. OF course Senator Under
wood. the Democratic leader In the
senate, cannot oppose the treaty for
he signed II as one Of the delegates.
When President Harding will send II
In for ratification Is not known. II
may not be until after the holiday
recess.

PROF. OF GEOLOGY IN BEREA
RETURNS FROM CLEVELAND
Gave Testimony Relative to Ohio
Gas Supply

Gas Supply
Prof. w. G. Burroughs has recent
ly returned to his work as professor
Of Geology in Berea College, after a
stay Of some length in Cleveland, o.,
where he was called to be consulting
geologist for the city Of Cleveland In
an investigation which was being
carried on relative to the natural
gas resources Of the field supplying
Cleveland with gas. The investiga-
ton was brought about as result
Of an attempt to raise the price of
gas on the city by the various
branches Of the Standard Oil Com
pany upon which Cleveland has de-
pended for its supply Of this fuel.
The fact that Professor Burroughs
was called TO give testimony in this
important investigation is evidence
of his work and ability in the field Of
geology, and Berea College is thus
honored. Prof. w. G. Burroughs
specialized in Geology while at ODER
lin College, where he received the
ALB. degree and the Phi Beta Kappa
key for high scholarship and AN. de-
gree in 1911. During 1912 and 1918,
as Geologist on the Ohio State Geo.
logical Survey. he made the Geolog-
ical map for the Government, across
most of northern Ohio, and also
carried on scientific work in Econom-
ic Geology for the State Geological
Survey. His private work for inves-
tors and companies has been conduct
ed in the States Of Ohio. New York,
Oklahoma and Virginia. Mr.. Bur
roughs has written over eighty mag
azine and book articles on this sub
jet which have appeared in the fol-
lowing publications.: The New Inter
national Encyclopedia, 1917 edition,
Building Stones of Ohio, Coal In
dustry, Coal Age, Colliery Engineer,
Mines and Mining, Engineering and
Mining Journal, American Boy, Min.
ing Magazine Of London, England.
Ohio Archaeological, A Historical
Quarterly, Popular Mechanics and
some Others. Mr.. Burroughs has
lectured at Chautauqua, New York,
summer schools for ten years.
Under the leadership Of Mr.. Bur-
roughs the department of geology in
Berea College during the last year
and half has grown rapidly and is
one Of the best geology departments
in the State of Kentucky. 1t is now
the second largest, surpassed by none
except that of the State University.
The department Of geology is fully
equipped with maps and minerals
and other necessary apparatus so
that the student secures a thoro
training in the science Of ge-
ology. This is Of inestimable value
to the student from the noun
tains, as a knowledge Of the field
of geology in the mountains of Ken

The conference Mt Washington has
its periods Of ups and downs. The
past week is noted for the discord-
ant attitude Of France and China.
France has made an unexpected de-
mand for an increase in her navy
beyond that allotted in the plan Of
Secretary Hughes. China has shown
displeasure at the arrangement with
Japan and feels that her interests
have been sacrificed. In the late re-
ports, however, a settlement seems
TO be in sight on the basis of an
abandonment Of Shantung by the Jap
anese and a payment by China for
the railroad given up. China is like.

MYTH that treaty out OF its way,

Grafton of the naval reduction and

their new pet dreadnaught the Mutsu.
For several days the Americans held
out against this. but finally II was
agreed to, with the understanding that,
TO maintain the 5-5-3 ratio, the Ameri-
can navy should retain the super
dreadnaughts Colorado and Washing
ton In place Of the Delaware aud the
Serth Dakota. and that Great Britain
should retain two Of the new Hood
type battleships already planned. But
those Hood vessels as designed would
be more powerful than either the Col
orado or the Mutsu class, 81 Il was
suggested that they should not be
built any larger than the Colorado.

The agreement in regard TO Ireland
is still under consideration by the
Dali Eiran. Thus far the question
has not come to vote and both
sides are being set forth by the
strongest speakers. In the English
Parliament, on the contrary, the
agreement was ratified by a majority
Of i66 TO AZ in the House Of Lords
and 40l to So in the House Of Com
mons. The meeting was one Of the best
attended in many years. The Colo
mics, particularly Australia, Canada,
and South Africa, are making dem
onstrations Of approval and are anx-
ious TO welcome ireland into the num-
Der Of free states attached TO the
British Empire. In India the conces-
sion TO ireland seems TO encourage
the slow but strong movement that
has been going on ever since the war
for Home Rule. The province Of
Ulster is still unreconciled. England
in the meantime Is confident that the
problem is settled.

Germany has finally given notice
that she cannot pay the reparation
bill that comes due in January. All
kinds Of suggestions have been made
in regard to a way Of meeting the
situation. The latest one that Is be-
ing considered by the Allies would
provide for a status OF bankruptcy in
Germany. This would allow the Al
lies TO take charge Of the custom
houses and other sources of taxa
ton and appropriate a certain pro-
portion toward the indemnity. Il
would throw upon the Allies also the
responsibility and duty of providing
means TO improve the currency Of
Germany. II is a rather heroic treat
ment that might not satisfy either
side. II is a possible solution. how
ever, and one that might be more
generally applied TO other countries
in Europe that are in financial
trouble.

the abrogation of the treaties grow

the side of our business men on this
side of the river who are compelled to

load of roofing paper came to the
Canal Street ferry for Algiers. The
first ferry would not take the load
merely waving the driver back When
the second boat came, the driver was
told that the load was too heavy, and
would not be permitted to cross on
the Canal Street Ferries. This had al.
ready caused a delay of a half hour
and it was necessary for the driver to
go to the Third District ferry to cross
Is the refusal of the Southern I'M
provement and cry Company, to &C
cept heavy loads an acknowledgment
OF the insecurity of the steel pontoons
on either side of the river, or is the
deck of the boat not strong enough to
carry the load? If the Third District
ferry, much smaller boat, can carry
this load and if the old pontoons al
this ferry can hold heavy loads, there
certainly must be some reason why
they are refused at Canal street.
