Hammond liquor law violators goad-

dope out new methods of thwarting the
officers OF the law when they drop into
their places of business unexpectedly.

DELEGATES
SHARE THE
OUTLOOK
What are the Results of the
Two Weeks Parley
Now?
tBY GEORGE r. HoLMEs,

IIesEI5y IsI5y, ,SSoERESrohpENT /. y, sERyicE1
nrst time since the statesmen of the
world began their labors here two
weeks ago. q distinct atmosphere OF
pessimisrn hung over the Washington
conference when IL resumed its work
today after the Thanksgiving recess
The first nush OF enthusiams and
general optimism that followed the
starting presentation OF the American
naval program has been dispeled by
tho controversial factors that have
arisen as the Powers got down to the
hard task of translating words into ac-
ton
Tho pessirnistic outlook is shared by
many observers In Washington and by
not few OF the delegates themselves.
ACTION COSTS MORE
4 member Of the American delegation
summed up the situation privately to
a friend: 1t IS easy to be generous
with words, but with action It Is a
horse OF different color"
Briefly. the results of the two weeks
efforts are these:
Armament: The Powers have agreed
In 'principle" to the vast scrapping and
future building program laid down by
Secretary Hughes. bu: England and
Japan are still quibbling over the de-
tails. Japan wants more gross ton
mage than allowed by the American
program: England wants more cruisers
and the abolition OF submarines.
Il has been agreed that tho con-
ference Will take no action with re-
spect to limiting the standing armies
OF Europe.
Far Eastern Affairs: All OF tho
Powers have expressed sympathy with
China's aims and have adopted four
general principles to apply to China
They are so vaguely phrased that they
are being interpreted differently by
each or the Powers
A subcommittee OF nine has been
appointed to examine China's tariff
schedule and IL is virtually certain she
will be allowed to raise her duties from
Ave per cent. to IL Ia per cent
SO far as the naval program is con-
cerned there is little pessimism Ul
timately, 1t is believed that the terms
as laid down by Secretary OF State
Hughes will be submitted In substan-
TALLY the same form as they are. On
this point the Americans attitude Is
adamant The impression has been
definitely conveyed to both Great Brit
ain and Japan that the program pro-
posed by America hits America harder
than it does either Japan or Great
Britain and that it Is up to them to
either accept 1t or reject It.
1t Is the far eastern part OF the con-
ference that the deepest pessimisrl
prevails
The Chinese hopes are being dashed
against the rocks by the interpreta-
tions that British and Japanese spokes-
man are putting on the Root proposals.
The committees on Far Eastern At
fairs met again today In secret The
question OF tariffs has been disposed
of for the moment by referring 1t to
a subcommittee under the chairmanship
of Oscar Underwood Today 1T was
planned to delve straight into the con-
troversiaI matter of extra-territorial
rights, under which foreign govern
rnents for years have maintained their
own courts and police functions In
