FORMALITY OF
OPENING SESSION.
Proceedings ut the opening session OF
the conference were formal, marked by
businessIike brcvity and an absence OF
pomp or futile speech making. To the
capacity Of Continental Memorial Han the
public of the world was present, though
fine number necessarily was exceedingly
limited. 1t roughly was ! 100. The United
States Government feels that in providing
facilities for the press of fourteen ma
tions. present in the flesh to the ex'
tent of more than two hundred ncWspape
CORRESPONDENTS, and for the full stairs
of all foreign embassies and legations IN
Washington, the demands of "pltlless
nublicity' have been adequately met.
IT will be for the conference itself
when permanently organized for trans
action of business, to decide how many
more sessions are TO be open. The IN
auance of the United States, it has been
OFFICIALLY declared will be eXerted in the

NEW AUTOMATIC
PHONE NUMBERS
TO BE PUT IN USE
GrOWth and Change of City
Supply Telephone Company
Chief Problem.

The trouble with Indianapolis, from
the standpoint of the telephone engineer,
is that the pesky town refuses to stay
put. Frank Wampler general manager
of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company,
in announcing today that new numbers
for all automatic phones will be changed
at midnight tonight, says the hardest
problem confronting his STAFF is not
merely that OF rebuilding and reorgan-
izing the city's telephone service. The
real job consists Of 80 arranging faeil-
tiles that they will take care of the city s
demands for service next month and next
year and the year after that.
IF the city would quit growing and
promise to stay where it is in point Of
population, our job would be simplifed,'
said Mr.. Wamp1er "But it won't quit
growing. and we don't want it to.
PROVIDE FOR
GROWTH OF CITY.
ave are taking tonight the biggest
single step in the direction of complete
unification Of the old automatic system
and the manual system. We have not
progressed as rapidly as might he
wished. because we have had to build
for the future instead OF merely for the
present For example, In rearranging
the numbers for the automatic, or ma
chine switching subscribers, we have had
70 bear in mind the fact that In few
years the cftys growth will require more
than 100000 telephones. 1t was plain
that with this increase and the joining
OF the two systems, the old system OF
numbers would not be adequate. Under
the old system five figures were sufficient
70 form all the needful combinations, but
the city's steady growth soon will add
SO many subscribers that six numbers
win be necessary 70 form all the COM
biuntions.
1T should be understood that the two
svstcms are not yet connected. How
soon that can he done. we cannot yet
say. The task is intricate and we do not
wish to make a prediction that might
not be fulfilled, but we hope TO be able
10 announce the date for complete uni
flcation before very long.
an reorganizing the numbering and
dial system Of the automatic plant, we
have taken the biggest step toward uni
fcation As many as three hundred
trained men have been busy at one fine,
and more than five hundred have been
engaged on the job during its progress.
About 1000 miles of wire in aerial and
Underground cables has had to be put
in place to provide necessary new con-

meeting paths. This phase alone is q
tremendous task"
Mr.. Wampler issued the following sum-
mary of information regarding the new
numbers.
INFORMATION
ABOUT NEW NUMBERS.
Automatic subscribers in calling an
other telephone after midnight will dial
the first two letters of the office name
In addition to the numerals. Lincoln
214 will be dialed L-I-2-1-5-4 and so on.
In the main automatic office downtown
there are two exchanges, one of them
called Lincoln and the other. Riley.
The residence part of the city Just north
or the business district has been named
henwood, and the northeast section,
Brookside.' The southeast portion has
been designated Stewart
1t is quite important that subscribers
call from the directory, and that they
do not rely upon their memory In diaIing
Tor numbers. New numbers for the DO
lice and fire departments will be found
on the front cover of the new directory,
copies Of which have been supplied to
all subscribers to the automatic service.
We have added fourteen units of
switchbords to the Bell facilities in order
!" haHuie Che IOnB distance messages
formerly handled over the long distance
INES or the automatic company. After
midnight, therefore, all long distance
points reached exclusively by the Bell
system will be available to the automatic
telephone users. The automatic sub
scriber may call long distance by dial
Ing the number 211. and the operator will
thereupon handle the call in the usual
manner"
One new feature that has been added
to the automatic apparatus, Mr.. Wamp-
Ter said, is an audible signal called the
"dial tone" 1t Is a humming sound
board in the receiver after it has been
taken off the hook in making call.

INDIANA DAILY TINES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IL, 1921

mittee's report depends the order in
which the two branches of the confer
ence-Far Eastern principles and Poll
cies," and armament-will be taken up.
1t is an exceedingly important issue.
There have been hints that japan wants
limitation Of armament tackled first. Her
delegates are represented as figuring that
America lays paramount stress on arma-
ment reduction, and that il substantial
progress is recorded in that direction
there will be a stronger Likelihood OF
japanese successes" in the realm or Far
Eastern discussion. If that Is Japans
deep strategy-there is no reliable author
ity for asserting that 1t is-her plans will
unwittingly be aided and abetted by those
disarmament zealots in this country
who clamor that nothing counts at Wash
ington except curtailment of armament
Tie Harding Administration thinks there
are many other things that count, and
count essentially. If there is a decision
to transfer Far Eastern problems to place
number on the program, it will be tanta
mount 10 an initial rebuff for Americas
conference policy. The United States
will not seek to hector the conference into
making the Far East point number l in
the agenda, but 1t earnestly believes that
is the place where it belongs.
CHINA's STAND
NOT CLEAR.
If there is any one particular cloud
on the conference horizon it is that
which envelopes the role China will play.
1t is undouL teddy within the province
Of China to make or mar the confer
ence If she is stubbornly opposed to
concessions to Japan or to the idea OF
accepting International aid in extricatlng
herself from the political and economic
morass. in which the Chinese people are
now cntangled then the conference may
be headed for its first deadlock
The Anglo-Japanese alliance conjures
up disquieting visions of another dead
lock. Shantung, despite Japan's claim
that it is a fait accOmpH sealed at Yer
sailles, will inevitably mean locked horns
at the conference, sooner or later How,
when, how much and how long warship
building shall cease, suggests debates in
termlnable and perhaps indeterminable.
What will the conference say when France
declares she can not demobilize soldier
or raise a fort until assured in some
form of impregnable defense against an
other German assault?
1t is questions like these-and others
no less transcendent-that inspire the
dreams of statesmen in America, Britain.

Purpose of Arms COnclave to
Dispel Dangers in Far
East.
BURDENS WEARY WORLD
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
By FREDERIC WILLIAM Wiz

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-President
Harding's conference on limitation of
armament opened in Washington. Around
a rectangular horseshoe in Continental
Memorial Hall at the marble palace Of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton nine great nations assembled. They
are here at the invitation of the United
States to transact mOlentoUs business
to consider. bluntly put, practical meas
ures for averting another world war, this
time in Asia, not Europe. The Wash
ington conference is. meeting under an
other name But the prevention Of a
holocaust in the Pacific, with race fight
ing race in a death grapple for su-
premacy, is the real. undistinguished and
unacceptable purpose of the conclave.
America approaches the issue in what it
believes to be the commOn-senSe way. 1t
aims to remove the dangers Of war from
the Far East. and, II that be attaina5le,
TO ask our sister naval and military
powers to join US in reducing the sinews
Of war.
MR.. BALFOCR'S
PROPHECY.
The conference barometer. in American
estimation, registers prospects OF fair
weather The sun Of our hopes may not
shine with desired intensity before
clouds and squalls; even storms. have
come and gone. But President Harding
and Secretary Hughes are convinced that
eventually the skies will be clear-that
when the hour of adjournment arrives
the conference will look back upon
record of worthwhile things accom-
pIished. Balfour says: "The conference
viii not fail of results" The people Of
the United States may rest assured on
one scOre-the American delegations in
flexible purpose is to exhaust every hui
man agency to lift from the shoulders
of a war-worn and tax-burdened universe
the staggering load Of insensate expendi-
ture on armament. If President Hard
ing could talk in heart-tO- heart fashion
with every man and woman in the re-
public he would say something like this I:

about the Washington conference. 1t is

PARIS, Nov. 12.-France has completed
negotiations with Jugo-Slavia for parti-

The scheme was said to include the ag-
grandizement of Bavaria by creation of

The negotiations were believed to be
the result of trouble between France and
Italy over the general fighting in the
Balkans and Near East. France was be

American Delegates for
Armament Conference
Diplomatic and Dignified

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12-There are
| people in Washington who, having looked
over the Department of State as now con-
| stituted and the American delegation to
the conference for the limitation of ar
maments, believe that the era Of shirt
sleeve diplomacy has gone forever.
No one, for example, would regard
Charles Evans Hughes as a shirt sleeve
diplomat. He is a man of impeccabla
manners, who has a just conception OF
the proper dignity that should hedge
Secretary of State. The fact is, of
course, that our Secretaries of State, al
our Presidents, have always-or almost al
ways-managed to rise to meet the de-
mands Of their office Not that there is
any question of Mr. Hughes extreme
fitness for this post, but one would not
have to go back very far into American
history TO discover one or two secretaries
whose rising was not conspicuous and
whose shirt-sleeves were good deal IN
/ evidence.
When the conference for the limitation
of armaments meets and Washington is
full of prime ministers, foreign ministers,
princes, field mArshals and hordes of les
ser magnificos the United States Govern
emnt will be able to step forth as host
with men to represent 1t who are in
ferior neither in diplomatic experience
our in cosmopolitan knowledge Of the
world to those of any European delega
ton.
SECRETARY HUGHES
BRILLIANT THINKER.
The Secretary Of State It is true has not
had a long diplomatic career, but such
q career, observers point out, does not
necessarily mean clearness and directness
of thought-"thinking through" MS Sec
rotary Hughes himself would call 1t.
The lucidity and simplicity Of Mr..
Hughes mental processes will be more
than a match, IL is thought for anything
that may be imported into Washington.
Besides. the conference isn't going to
be an affair of barter, bicker and con-
cession. so one hears.
Since the question Of the renewal OF
the Anglo Japanese alliance betoOk itself
so neatly from the international fore
ground the diplomatic corps in Washing
ton has had little patience for references
to American "shirt sleeve" diplomacy
and one hears limitations that many OF
the corps are now studying the Hughes
method. with n view to possible improve
ment Of their own professional knowl-
edge.
If Mr. Hughes is not a shirt sleeve dip.
lornat, neither does he go TO an other
extreme and think IN terms of frills
and frontiers. Those who have had the
opportunity Of observing him at close
range expect him to impress European
statesmen as being a fine type Of Amer

LODGE WATCHES

During practically the whole Of his

nous correspondence with connections in
various foreign countries, has Given him

ent and future.

lean in public office, appreciative of the
niceties of international intercourse
Elihu Root, the second member Of the
American delegation, cannot be regarded
rs shirt-seeve diplomat either-not by
long stretch Of the imagination Mr..
Root is simple man in his personal
manners, but he carries with him an air
of being internationally minded of see
ing situation as a whole. Many stories
are told of the remarkable impression
created by Mr. Root upon foreign states
men. He met some Of them at The Hague
In connection with conferences looking
toward. world peace, and his selection TO
be member Of the permanent court of
international justice-an honor which he
was forced to decline-is regarded as a
natural sequel to his international poDu-
larity.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts, has been accorded many epi-
thets, moi a few of which were undoubt-
edly intended to be sarcastic Among
these have been such appellations as
Yankee Aristocrat" and the Goldfish
Duke" There has been practically no dis
position even among Senator Lodges po-
litical enemies, however to deny his thor
ough familiarity with foreign affairs.
Those who have an intimate ACQUAINTANCE
with Washington will attest to the popu-
larity of Senator Lodge with the diplo-
matte corps. Contrary to the idea rather
prevalent in some quarters outside wash
ington, Mr.. Lodge is one Of the most ac-
cesslble Of public men.
