Damage ts estimated at SS5p.
 When the fire was discovered by residents living in the vicinity, flames were shooting from the windows and breaking through the roof of the building, A telephone call was sent to Fire headquarters, and Chemics1 l No. l, and Truck Company No.- 12 re- sponded, When the firemen arriv. ed, the building was a mass of flames Tn the absence of city water main, only chemicals could be used to pre- vent a spread of the blaze.
 It Is thought that the fire may hay been started by boys who were play ing about the house. A rumor that a still had exploded in the shack could not be verified by police or fire department officials

Conflict May Arise
 ODer Far East Policy

Orient Is designed to bring into early
 conflict the diametrfcally opposed
 views of American and Japanese
 statesmen.
 The exact nature of both programs
 Is not known. It can be stated, how
 ever, that the American program has
 been built with the "open door" in
 China as the corner stone. That is the bedrock upon which the Anier1-s
 can policy has been placed and there
 will be little or no deviation from 1t.
 The Japanese are placing high
 hopes in the LansingIshi agreement
 unde which the United States has committed to recognize Japanese special interests in China and the Far East This agreement has been sayagely attacked by friends of China. and now more bitterly than in the United States Senate, and it has been freely predicted that 1t will be nulll-s fled if not actually repudlated in the present conference.
 The committee which met today to commence threshfng out these mat-s etrs is a committee of the whole con-% ference It should be explained that when the delegates meet -,ecretly ts | is calld 'tcommittee meeting anaS when they meet openly in Men1ofiai ! Hall it is called a 'splenary session o1s l the conference" Thus any acton or policy agreed upon in private will pc passed on in open conference by the same men.

$500! 900 Needed For
 Charity Work Here

in the Charities Department. whose appropriation had been exhausted several months ago. Since the funds of the Special Relief Commission have been almost entirely consumed, the entire responsibility for the care of the poor and destitute during the se- were winter months will devolve upon a proportionate share of the amount collected by the special tax. this de- partment will be pennilesS and una ble to carry on the work.
 The Charities Department will re- qufre at least $300,000, while a like amount will be needed to be divided among the other departments. Sev- eral thousand dollars will be needed by the Department of Public Works which. while not running behind their appropriation, will be hard pressed for funds for emergencies that are ex- cJected with the approach of a pre- dicted severe winter.
 The question has already arisen whether the tax will be levied on the new or old grand lists. City Attorney Comley's decision on this matter will decide upon several other important details that have developed in con- nection with 1evy1ng the special tax.
 The decision to ask for a special tax was reached by Mayor Atwater following conference with the Charity Commissions and members of the Board of. Apportionment.
 Mayor Atwater and President Will lam E, Seeley of the board were in President Seeley stated that there was no question but that the mayors request for the tax would be granted by the board.

Mayor Fred Atwater will appear within a few days before the Board of Apportionnnent and recommend the levying of 8 special tax to cover eN- pected deficits in several departments of the city government. It is prob able that the tax will be five mills, and will be due January 1. 1922 Alp proximately s30o,000 is needed by dhe Charities Department alone, while the needs of other depar -ments will bring the amount to be raised by the special tax to between S500,000 and S6Oo,OoO. Whether the aax will be levied on the new grand lists, which must be compiled on or before De cember 21, or on the present grand lists is undecided and has been re ferred to City Attorney William H. Comley, Jr., for a decision.
 Requests were sent by Mayor. At water today to heads of the various municipal departments for statements of the present financial condition of each department showing the amount that has or will be expended in excess of appropriations before other funds are available for use on April 1 next
 Upon receipt of the departmental compilations and upon receiving City Attorney Comley's decision on the legal aspecS of several important de tails Mayor Atwater will appear be- fore a special meeting of the appor- fionment board, and recommend that the special tax be levied.
 Mayor Atwater stated this morning that he expected to call the special session of the board before the end of tie week, in order that not ever the slightest time will be lost iN Ik'O. vidfng sufficient funds for the conducr of the city's affairs.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Whfle the naval experts of the Great Powers wrestled today with questions of naval policy and the manner in which the vast reduction program is to be ap- piled to existing navtes. The dele eates of all nations turned their at tentton to the more delicate and con troversial questions relating to China, the Pacific and the Far East.
 It is admitted that the discussion of Far East policies is Loaded with dynamite" and for this reason the opening guns will be hred be- hind closed doors. where the reports will not reach the ears of the pub lio, Later it may be deemed advisable to bring the discussions into the oper., but for the present the dele gates will be able to freely express their differences of opinion screened from the view ef press and public.
 Secretary Hughes has a program III thebFar East. as he had a program of naval reduction. but it seemed certain today that it will not be presented in the same startling way. The ques- tions involved in the Far East are of dcially described as being too delicate to be given the rough and ready, take it or leave it handling that featured the presentation of the naval program
 Japan also has a program for the Far East and it seems assured that the whole discussion of policies in the

Tax ing advantage of the temporary Hull in the political situation, Lloyd George will go to Bournemouth to rest today, returning to London, Fri day or Saturday.
 Captain Herbert Dixon, M. F., writ ing in the Evening Standard. said Ulster was faced with the greatest crisis in her history. 'Ulster has been betrayed by men in high places and has been offered as a sacrifice to .the vanity of England's Prime Min ister," Dixon wrote. 'She stands absolutely alone but alone she is a force until conquered and unconquer- able.''
 In official circles it was said that settlement of the Irish tangle now de- pended on whether Unionfst diehards were able to control the Liverpool conyention. If they were able to do SO and to obtain support of Sir James Craigs stand. 1t was believed

Drew, upon whom will de- volve the duties of collecting within the next two months, the new special tax and the state personal tax. The tax.

First-A great nation-a war-ike nation-a nation that in the few years since 1858, has made itself one of the great powers-a nation whose popu- lation presses on the means of sub- sistence-must be permitted to ex- pand.
 Second - The treatment accorded the Japanese in this country touches above all else their personal honor. Some way must be found by which the national (raciaD equality which they feel is their right is preserved to them, but subject to the third and greatest cardinal point from our standpoint, which is:
 Third-The Japanese must recog- nize that we cannot give to them or to the people of any other race which does not assimilate in our melting pot, the unlimited right peacefully to penetrate and gradually possess any part of our country. Therein lies danger.
 Precedents are not wanting. Rou- manians penetrated Hungary in such numbers that at last Roumania claimed and received part of Hun gary.
 On this point our people in the West are determined, fixed and steadfast.

Trolley Service Cut On Fairfield Avenue - More Cars Go Through State Street.

Not only Norwalk and Westport cars, but Southport and Fairfield service road station, and return the same route.
