ULSTER STILL OBSTACLE
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, November 24-The nego-
tiations for an Irish settlement are
feared to be nearing an unfayorable
end. according to a high authority
today, and there Is apprehension that
next week may witness their collapse
unless more favorable circumstances.

1t is stated that Ulster is no longer
presenting the sole obstacle, but that
the Sim Fein has refused to accept
allegiance to the king, although will
ing to take the oath to an Irish con-
stitution.
Furthermore, and equally impor-
tant. it Is added. the Sim Fein will
not agree to q veto Of Irish legisla-
tion by the British crown.
Purpose Of Sim Feiners.
The Sim Fein idea is said TO be a
completely Independent Irish state,
although loosely. connected with the
other states in the empire. Acts of
parliament creating British domin-
ions give the king the power of We
toing all legislation, but by constitu-
tional usage this veto is now never
exercised. The Sim Fein, however. is
declared to have made known its be-
lief that similar veto power regard
ing Ireland would constantly be used
at the will of the British cabinet.
The government regards this diff
Guilty as fundamental, it is asserted,
and should the Sim Fein attitude re-
main unchanged, the negotiations, it
is declared in high quarters, must
come to an end.
Ulster, apart from it's objection to
any all-IreIand parliament, is keenly
insistent upon allegiance to the

Secret Circular withdrawn.
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier,
has ordered the withdrawal of what
has been described as a secret cir

divisional commission of the royal
Irish constabulary at Belfast. which,
according to Dublin dispatches, said
the government was considering the
desirability of forming the unauthor-
lied loyalist defense forces into regu-
lar military units only to be called
out in grave emergency.
The Ulster premier declared that
he approved recruiting for specion

ing terminated, but not for the forma-
tion of, recruits into regular military
units.

Demands.

BY the Associated Press
Although formal proceedings of the
arms conference had been suspended
for Thanksgiving day, it was expect
ed to be one of only nominal rest
for the delegates and that in the
absence of any meetings of the con-
ference or it's subdivisions, the ne
gotiations would continue to be press
ed through consultations among the
various individuals and groups.
As developments in the conference
stood today. the outstanding point
of interest appeared to be the con-
hict Of views between the British and
Chinese delegations in their inter-
probation of the four adopted Root
principles as applying to the ques-
tion of fiscal autonomy for China
View of British.
The British view, as authoritative
ly stated following the committee
meeting of the nine delegations yes
terday - that The Root resolutions
we're adopted by the powers as ac-
cording with acceptance by China of
= financial consortium, pooling of
railroad concessions and continued
supervision of China's customs-would
mean, in the opinion of the Chinese
delegation, an internationalization of
that country's economic resources.
They declared committee discussions
had brought forth no expression by
the delegates of the British view.
The Chinese delegation proposed on
the question of tariff that full au-
tonomy be restored to their govern
ment by three stages. the first per-
mitting an immediate increase in the
maximum to which China'S import
duties are now restricted.
French Raise Question.
The French delegation in connection
with this proposal raised another ele-
ment of uncertainty in the proceedings
when they pointedly asked the Chinese
delegates by what authority they pre-
sumed to speak for all of China over the
protests of the southern government at
Canton. The Chinese replied that they
were representing the only government
recognized by the spoKeEs..<s.u-s.s :

SHIP SIZE LIMITED
BYPANAMAC CANAL
Real Reason for Hughes 35,.
0O0-Ton Stipulation Be.
lieved Use of Waterway.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

, The real reason for the proposal of
secretary Hughes and the American
Navy that hereafter no ,battleships
shall be built by any nation larger
than $4,000 tons is just coming to the
surface. The United States does not
wish to have any. jbattleships too
large to go through the Panama
canal. Before the present confer
ence was convened and the armament
race was at its heighth, there was
talk of $4,000 ana 10000 ton battle
ships to be built by Japan. This
would have been met by the con-
struction of American battleships of
equal size. butt these vessels would
have been valuable to the United
states only in the Pacific, where they
would have had to be kept most Of
"a American s naval policy. at least for
'vided between the Atlantic and Pacific,
and one of the chief values of the
canal is that strategically it gives the
United states great defensive
strength. The disadvantage of having
vessels in the Pacific which must
round capt Horn was conspicuously
Illustrated in the Spanish-American
war when Capt. Clarke made his
memorable trip from Pacific to At
lantlc waters to assist the sQuadrons
off the Cuban coast.
Can Accommodate 10000 Tons.
The Panama canal is able at pres
ent to accommodate vessels with a
displacement Of more than 10000 tons
comfortably. but the engineers who
built the ditch did not contemplate
ships greater than 110 feet width
There are now no vessels afloat as
wide as this. So the Hughes proposal
affects only the future. 1t reads as
follows:
THAT no capital ship shall be built
in replacement with a tonnage dis
placement of more than $4,000 TONS"
Mr.. Hughes gave no reasons or
argument for the foregoing sugges-
ton, but naval experts now realize
what was back Of it. OF course, there
were other reasons for this Iimita-
ton, such as stabilizinG the value of
existing battleships and armament.
When the Panama canal was built.
there was considerable discussion
about the future size of battleships
and some engineers advocated a
now experts are inclined to agree
that the ditch should have been wider
than 10 feet. AS for length, the
newest type of battle cruisers are
approximately 900 feet long, while
the locks are not much more than
1000 feet in length.
No Handicap to Japan.
There are those who believe that
good fighting craft of as much as
$4,000 tons displacement could be built
with a width of 10s feet, which would
enable them to pass through the canal,
but while American ships would have
to meet that handicap this would not
be the case with Japanese battleships,
which have no special reason for
wanting to get into the Atlantic quick
ly. The limitation to $4,000 tons will
have the effect. therefore, of placing
the United States on a parity with
Japan with respect to all new battle
ships built to replace those which may
become obsolete during the ten-year
naval holiday.

ps 'he ASsOclateu freSS.
American officials are giving some
thought to the possibility Of salvaging
as non-combatant naval or as COM
mercial craft the three new battleships
now af1oat, but which would not be
completed under Secretary Hughes
They are hopeful that in fixing the
methods Of scrapping the conferees will
not make an arbitrary rule that would
require the ships to be sunk or other
wise totally destroyed.
1t is possible, shipbuilding experts
asserted today, that the Colorado, Wash
ington and West Virginia could be con-
verted into serviceable intermediate
liners for commercial use purely. The
method in which battleships are put
together. it is said. would make this a
mechanical possibility without pro-
hibitive cost. Or it might be possible,
1t was suggested, to turn one or more
Of the trio into repair or supply ships
for the fleets. though high cost of opera
ton might prevent this expedient.
Questfon of Methods Untouched.
The question of just how ships slated
to be scrapped are to be dealt with was
not treated in Secretary Hughes pro-
posals. That matter was specifically re-
served for joint determination, presum-
ably after the main points Of the holi-
day and limitation agreement had been
settled.
AS to the possible commercial value
of the battleships after reconstruc-
ton, 1t was stated that they could be
turned into cargo and passenger-car-
ryinS craft with the removal of ar
NOR belts and guns and turrets and
would have an economical speed OF
perhaps 16 to Is knots. There is a

There is an old saying whose value
most people believe, has worn itself
out. That is: Every cloud has a sill
yer lining" The truth of the matter
is when we are looking at the cloudy
side we haven't faith to believe in the
silver Innings that other clouds have
had.
Now that you have time just think
Of all the clouds that have sailed
across your sky in the past. Haven't
they each and every one turned inside
out and spilled blessing on you?
Can't you trace some good that has
come to you from each one?
The shadow cast by some clouds are
very long and you may not be able to
see the silver lining yet but sooner or
later it is bound to show up. Let
your faith from other tests prove to
you that this will be SO.
At one time in our life we knew a
man whose impotence was his undo
ing. He was a brilliant man but al
ways impossible to work with for he
became unbearably impatient with
anyone who did not see through things
or could not get things accomplished
