No Session Of Naval Commit
tee Held Today; Sugges-

sue Gain Prominence.
(By Tho Associated Press

Washington. Dec. 27.-Suggestions
that the whole submarine problem be
left to future world conference gain
ed increasing prominence today while
the delegates to the Washington arIna-
ment conference waited for formal res
plies from France and Japan to the
American compromise proposal for
submarine limitation
No delegation has prepared to open
~ advocate postponement Of the prob
lem, and outwardly, all delegation
spokesmen held to the customary Dip
lomatic attitude of optimism over the
prospects for ultimate agreement.
Privately. however, more than one
delegate conceded that the French
and Japanese opposition to the com
promise proposal constituted a dis
couraging barrier to the progress OF
the submarine negotiations
Expect Rejection.
Pending action by the French cab
met at its meeting today, the French
delegates here remained confident
their refusal to accept the new Amer
lean figures would be upheld by their
government. The Japanese too, ex =
pected Toxic to insis. that the Amer
lean plan was unacceptable.
There was no meeting today Of the
tiviues of the conference were con-
fined to information and consultations
among various groups of delegates
and to efforts of the naval experts to
clarity the discussions by laying out
a more definite technical basis of COM
parison to guide the plenipotentiaries
in their future negotiations.

ton was secured in Glasgow. but he
studied later at Trinity college in his
native land. and, graduated9Svith honors
at Oxford i'm 1862. He has from the
first been notable man. In addition
to his abilities as statesman and diplo-

the philosophy of history. His Holy
Roman Empire" was the first of his
notable contributions to literature, and
his American Commonwealth. Two
Centuries of Irish History and various
other works added to the substantial

STEERING BY WIRELESS

q Perhaps the most important feature
of the recent airplane bombing tests off
the Virginia capes was one to which hard
1y any attention was paid at the time
1t was the maneuvering of the battle
ship Iowa, far out at sea, without man
on board. The ship was steered by wire
less from the coast.
This marked a big step in one of the
most remarkable developments of mod
ern transportation Small vessels have
been steered in this way before, but it ap-
pears to have been the first time the pro-
cess was applied to craft as big as a
battleship, and also the first time the me-
chanical maneuyering was done at SO
great a distance.
The application of this new art to fu-
ture warfare is obvious If warships
can be directed accurately by wireless.
their fighting possibilities are greatly
augmented, because they can be sent
against a fort or hostile feet without
any risk whatever to human life. Tor
pedoes can be steered in that way, and
small craft loaded with ammunition can
be used as torpedoes, and sharp proved
craft can be used to ram large craft. 1t
may be possible eventually to handle
battleship or cruiser similarly in all of
its fighting operations, steering it and
aiming and discharging its guns and tor
pede tubes by wireless, besides using the
vessel itself as a ram.
The process can be applied to aircraft.
too. Therein, perhaps, are its greatest
possibilities. Aircraft offer the greatest
menace to warships, but .airfghting is

COOPERATIVE DEFLATION

Employees of the American Manganese
Manufacturing Co, at Dunbar, Pa, have
had their wages cut 40 per cent, and
they are satisfied The reason for their
contentment lies in the fact that their ex-
penses have been cut to the same extent.
The manager of the plant, receiving or
ders from Philadelphia to shut down for
lack of orders, figured out a plan to keep
the plant running. 1t was to lower the
cost of production Immediately. That
meant lowering wages. That, in turn.
meant lowering the cost of living to the
employees. 80 '''"
He talked it over with the wOrkmen
and business men. If the plant closed,
it meant a dead town. The company
agreed to cut the rent 40 per cent on the
houses it owned and the supplies it sold.
Other landlords andemerchants were per-
suaded to fall into line. The employees
thereupon agreed cheerfully to the 40
per cent wage cut. and everything is GO
ing finely. 1t is understood that as nor
mai industrial conditions return, the
company will meet the wages of similar
plants elsewhere The same thing has
been done. with a smaller rate of reduc-
ton. by coal and coke company at
Star Junction, Pa. 1t is an inspiring and
termed cooperative defation.

American farmers, for instance.
The 1920 census figures, which have
just been released. tell the story. They
indicate that in the feverish postwar
years. speculation was nowhere carried
to greater extremes than by the owners
of the soil.
In 1910 the total value of the ma
tion's farm lands was sc, 1880, 600, 900. In
1920, although the increase in acreage
was negligible, the value was fixed at

no wonder that the man who purchased
farm lands in those days is disconnected
when his hogs only bring so hum
bred, his corn 63 cents a bushel, and his
wheat only S13O. The farm bought in
war time can hardly pay the interest.
Yet farm lands throughout the Middle
West were sold and sold at enormously
increased prices, or leased for long peri
DDS at rentals which could only be met
if the price of products remained in
fiated. In 1910 the farm mortgages of
the nation amounted to 81 726,000,0O0.
Last year they totalled $4,012,000,0 900,

Another honor comes to Vermont
through the news that DIR. +. A. Pond.
Brooklyn eye specialist, whose home is

he claims has cured nine cases of blind
ness caused by atrophy. DIR. Pond comes
of a famous family and it is no
great surprise to learn that he has done
something out of the beaten path. DIR.
Pond is to demonstrate his cure before the
Academy of Medicine and the American
Medical association, after which he will
make public the formula that it may be
used generally. He declares that blind
ness caused by accident cannot be cured
by the serum, nor can the cure be success
full unless there is a slight vision left to
the patient.

Another Big Graft.
Bennington Banner. J

Another big graft is being put over in
congress this week II is the so-called
Sheppard Towner maternity bill. 1t is
wholly vicious in that it proposes to form
another big bureau to furnish a lot of fat
jobs at the public expense. 1t is another
of those bureaucratic inventions which
are built up on the claim that they are
going to be of great public benefit but
never are They are differed by lot
of folks whose chief ability is, in getting
onto the public payroll. The maternity
bureau" will have lot of theories, mostly
formulated by bunch of childless women
and sterile men. Their chief activity will
be to supervise" and interfere with lot
of normal men and women who are work
ing their way through the world. and to
spend money extorted from the people by
unreasonable taxation. Senators and rep
resentatives in congress who have been
misled into voting for the Sheppard
Towner bill ought to be just as proud of it
as though they had voted to introduce
Asiatic cholera. The thousands of good
women who have been enrolled in its
favor do not realize that the bureau form
of government that is being foisted on
this country so rapidly is lasting curse
that many of them win live to repent and

While the tyrian purple skies,
Bare thy melody aloft,
With serene surprise.

To attend thy flight.
In the fower-pervaded gloam;
Where the day is merged in night.

As to share thy fight! -
Burdened by it's weight of flesh,
When thy freer spirit sings, f
Everywhere it cries afresh
After higher things.

Bearing human souls to Heaven,
