FRENCH U-BOAT
PLEA MAY COME
BEFORE COUNCIL
Britain Declares She Will
Scrap Undersea Craft
if Asked.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Ambas sad0
George Harvey has gone to the interna-
tiOnal economic conference at Cannes with
definite instructions from President
Harding calculated to bear importantly
upon the solution of several big problems
left unsolyed through the action of OBJ
structionist nations at the Washington
conference, il was learned on high author
ity today.
The American plan of campaign calls
for q passive attitude on the part of MIR.
Harvey.
LONDON, Dec. 30-The submarine is
sue raised by Frances demands at the
Washington conference may be shifted to
Cannes, when the supreme council meets
there next week.
Premier Lloyd George, who is already
at Cannes for a brief holiday before the
supreme council meeting, jumped into
the controversy today in an effort to
untangle It, The Premier has broken his
holiday and IS keeping the wires busy
between Cannes and London obtaining
views and advice from admiralty experts.
The Premier has notified the admiralty
to have a high naval official ready TO
start for Cannes on a minutes notice as
he is trying to arrange a conference
with Premier BRAND Of France, and .
high French naval expert, prior to the
supreme council meeting.
British officials do not believe Frances
position on the submarine question IS
permanent. They believe her demand for
10000 tons Of cruiser submarines against
the wishes Of Britain and America was
made as a basis for bartering. British
officials thlSk France IS ready to retreat
from her present attitude if she can get
concessions. particularly in regard to
cancellation Of war debts.
The British admiralty unanimously backs
mp the stand taken by A. J. Balfour at
Washington on the submarine question,
according to Admiral Sir Reginald Hall,
". p. director OF Naval intelligence dur
ing the war.
The Admiral said "Mr Balfour exactly
expressed the opinion Of the best brains
Of the British navy. He Is unquali1edIy
supported by the British naval STAFF
There are two things France might re-
member: First. both in the English chan
mel and the Mediterranean Sea. we found
the subarine not the slightest bar to the
transport Of troops; secondly, we voIun-
tarily offered to scrap what IS admittedly
the finest submarine service In the world.
As TO submarines, we were unquestion-
ably years ahead Of the rest OF the
world, both in construction and In
hanliug the craft
Despite the fact that our latest sub
marines carry twelve Inch guns and are
potentially the greatest Instruments OF
wanton destruction the world has ever
known, we are ready TO abandon them un-
reservedly.
Moreover. Qroporrionately TO It's size.

 Brown Starts Uproar.
 Alderman P. Arthur Brown. en ardent follower of Mayor, Wilson. started en utronr when ie took the motion from the table. Several of the aiderr1ers proteated that no action should be taken because three mem bers of the board were absent. The motion was to reject the mayor s veto # he former boards action in res- cirading the s203,00o bond issue whicf, was Yaceegsary for the completion Of the Broad street project.
 All worked up by the suddennesa with which the sffair had been brought about, the aldermen voted 'no" in error. It was q bad break. for when the rnisunderstanding was finally strengthened out, the extension plan was declared dead.
 Alderman frhward T. Hamilton the fjlasi7l, admitted this morning that the action or the board was no sur priae to him.
 "It was a case." he said, where the uphoIder3 Of the plan. ever though they did railroad 1t through knew that they would find an injunc- lion in their way. and the bondt would not have gone through in Hart ford"
 Mayor Wilson did not seem to take his defeat seriously last night, and he refused to comment on the situa tor this morning. He merely said that the matter 'seemed dead"

w~ OUSES containing seven or RIA eight rooms are the most popu- E W lar types of houses now being A built. Mainly, because the small house helps solve the servant problem and largely also because of the high cost of building materials. The small but charming home is the fashion and many exceptionally practical and beautiful little homes have been designed to meet this present need among home builders and home seekers.
 It would indeed be very difficult to find a more attractive little home than the one shown today. Com pact and convenient down to the last detail, and at the same time losing nothing in the way of appearance, this house is one whics> appeals to all seeking a small house.
