PACT TAKEN

Disposal of Alliance Dis
cussed by American
Delegates.

Copyright, 1921, by the United
PressD
Washington, Nov. 30.-The Ques-
ton of disposing of the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance has been taken up
by the chief delegates of the Unit
ed States, Great Britain and Japan,
it was understood on high author
ity today.
This question is being consider
ed in conferences between the Big
Three" of the Washington parley
Hughes, Balfour and Kato-n
connection with discussions to ar
rive at a settlement of the capital
ship ratio controversy between the
United States and Japan.
The capital ship dispute upon
which hinges the success of the
conference may come to q final
showdown at the meeting Of the
naval experts of the five powers
today. The impression prevailed
that the experts would reach no
agreement and the big three"
would have to intervene.
Japan, British semi-official
spokesman indicated, would agree
to so per cent ratio of the Hughes
program if the United States would
abandon all its Notifications in the
Pacific.
Already in these conferences of
the big three" the question of a
! tri-partite understanding an al
liance-between the United States,
Japan and Great Britain to take
the place of the Anglo-Japanese
pact has been broached to Secre-
tary Hughes, according to intima-
tiOnS from this same high author
ity in one of the delegations con-
cerned.
The idea for such a tri-partite
understanding would have been
brought up in the most informal
an unofficial manner
JapS Want AnglO-Jap-U. s. Pact
1t was recalled that Prince To-
kugawa, one of the principal Jap
| anese delegates to the conference
advocated such a tri-partite under
standing to replace the AnglO-Jap-
anese alliance, shortly before the
opening of the conference. Whether
it is Balfour or Kato who has now
brought up this question, is still
uncertain
That the Anglo-Japanese alliance
has been taken up and especially
is being discussed jointly with the
question of naval ornaments, is re-
garded as fraught with the great
est political significance.
1t involves not only the great
primary purpose of the conference
the Limitation and reduction OF
navies-but the observance of the
general peace of the Pacific and
the far east and seems to mean the
virtual remaking of Anglo-Ameri-
can-Japanese relations.

HERMIT AT BAY

Mahomet, ILL.,, Nov. 3O.-Choos-
ing death rather than to give uE
the life of hermit to spend his
last days in prison, Harry Davis
90 years old, of near here, shot
himself through the heart yester-
cay afternoon when he had been
driven into a small lake by a
sheriff's posse.
He had been suspected of rob-
hing store at Lodge last Monday
night
Since he was accused of the mu--
der of Henry Howe here Is years
ago, Davis has roamed up and down
lie banks of the Saagamon river

Trapped in Lake.
Retreating toward the Sangamon,
Davis attempted to dodge his pur-
suers by wading a small lake. AS
he was in water up to his hips he
noticed another division of the
posse on the other side of the lake.
Despairing of escape he pulled a
revolver from his pocket, placed
it against his breast and fired.
Suspecting Davis as soon as the
robbery was reported to him, Sher-
III Ed Gale of Piatt county search
ed a newly dug cave in which the
hermit had been living. Here he
found all the loot except one pair
of rubbers.
The posse started search of the
timber and was soon on the trail
Of the suspect.
Accused by Farmers.
Farmers in the neighborhoo,i
had been complaining that Davis
had been stealing from them Three
live chickens and stock of can

had just completed.

Especial 10 ne
Washington, Nov. S0.-America
has decided to join hands with the
other powers of the world in an ef-
fort to stabilize international ex-
change.
The United States government
has accepted the invitation of the
allied governments to be repre-
sented at a conference to be held
abroad in the near future at which
the whole question Of exchange
will be examined.
This is the most important step
in the direction of financial read
justment which has been taken
since the armistice. If successful,
the movement may have far
reaching effect upon the revival of
business in America and particu
larly in the restoration of markets
for the sale of American agricul-
tural and manufactured products
Problem Is Big.
For a long time there has been
persistent effort on the part of
European countries to elicit Amer
ica's interest in an international
financial conference. There has
even been a suggestion that the
question of the war debts of the
allies might be discussed at the ar
mament conference at Washington
but this idea has been abandoned.
The movement to reconstruct the
worlds finances will be a slow and
evolutionary one and will not be
confned to single conference but
to series of meetings which may
take the better part of a year. The
whole thing is the outgrowth of the
recommendation made at the last
International conference at Brus-
sells but it now has the moral sup
port of the United States govern
ment which means that more re-
suits will be accomplished.

London, Nov. 30.-(By The Asso-

British cabinet was considering the
proposed moratorium for Germany
were confirmed in official circles
today. The point being discussed
is under what circumstances a NOR
atorium would be declared.
An immediate effect of the re-
ports regarding the suggested NOR
atorium for Germany, was seen in
the great improvement of the ex-

which dropped to $50 TO the pound

with Sir Robert S. Horne, chancel-
lor of the exchequer. Sir John

reparations vommission, and Baron
Edgar d'Abernon, British ambas-
sador to Germany also attended the
conference.
The arrival here yesterday of DR..

banking circles as bearing on the
question of Germany's reparations
obligations.
As yet, no concrete newspaper
opinion has developed, although it
is noteworthy that there is absence
OF any declared hostility to the
suggestion of a moratorium for
Germany, or any other scheme cal
culated to make payment of the
reparations easier.
