READY RESPONSE EXPECTED SOON
 ON DISARMAMENT
Lloyd Georges Statement In House of Commons YeSter- day Was Forerunner of
 Favorable Welcome
By Associated Press

Washington. July l1.--The sugges- ton of President Harding looking to a disarmament conference at Washington was expected by officials here today to meet ready response from the capitals of the powers con cerned. The probable attitude of the powers toward such a proposal, 1t was said, was sounded in advance through American embassies and legations abroad and the impression was gain ed that replies to formal nyitatlons to such conference would prove favorable.
 Tending to confirm this belief, in the opinion of officials. was the state- ment of Premier Lloyd George in the House of Commons today welcoming the initiative of President Harding in the matter
 In the preliminary through Ameri- can representatives abroad it is agreed that the far eastern assocla- ton was mentioned to ascertain if this would be considered as a proper subject for discussion in connection with consideration of disarmament. It has been indicated that as a re- suit the impression was given that this question would be treated nrom- inently in the conference programme.
 The scope of the proposed confer ence, however, is understood not to have been definitely determined while the details of organization will be left until formal acceptsnes to the invitation have been received. In this connection, it was said today that before the conference actually meets there may be some definition of the subjects 10 be considered and an unerstdanding given of what the powers consider their special inter- ests
 No date for the gathering has been set, nor has the Amefican represeg- tation to the conference been detrt- mined, although It is believed II st Secretary Hughes may head abe American delegation. Whether any

ALABAMA ADOPTS
 THE VIRGINIA PLAN
Experience Rating for Com pensation In This State Has
 Been Announced By Bureau

Montgomery, July 11.-(Special)- Adoption. of the Virginia experience rating plan for compensation insur- ance in Alabama was announced bv the compensation rating bureau of Alabama, following a long session with A. w. Briscoe, state commis- sioner of insurance, Monday after noon. Under this plan plants which have carried compensation insurance since the law became effective Is months ago will submit reports of their expedieney, showing their losses, their premiums and other in- formation, and these reports will be used in determining what shall be charged for premiums on these class es of business in the future.
 Up to this time the assessment of premiums has been arbitrary because Alabama companies had no expe- rience with compensation laws until the legislature enacted the present one in 1919. which became effective January 1, 1920
 The rating bureau also voted to continue the cooperative plan now in effect between Georgia and Ala bama whereby W. w. Watkinson is manager of the bureaus of the two states. MT. Watkinson will continue to hold this position

$3O,O0O, ,0eO for the completion of the Wilson dam prpvided n re- sponsible indiyfduar or corpora- ton would guarantee a renson- able return to the government on its investment. Shortly there nfter. Mir. Ford visited Muscle shoals and was there met by MT. WorthfngtOp. Last week. repre- sentntives of Mir. Ford came to Washington, and MT. worthing- ton went to Detroit.
 Next Development
 The next development was . statement by the Chief of En- Eineers to Senator Underwood that Mir. Ford would submit proposition. This he Is now pre- pairing to do. An offer from MT. Ford cannot have any other eff feet than to move the admini- stration inasmuch ns 1t would tend to meet the proposition of the Secretary of War. It Is be- Iieved that Congress would quickly act on the recommendn- tiou of the Secretary.
 Unusunl secrecy regarding de- velopments Is based on fear that untimeIy publication might in- duce other individuals to submit propositiOns, md attempt to se- cure a prize towards which MT. Ford seems to have the inside track. The Ford proposition has . distinct advantage, it Is pointed out. in that 1t would not be nec- essary for the Detroit manufsc- turer, to undertake negotiations for the financing of the deal. The government desires action as quickly as possible because of it's determination to preserve the plants, against ravages of time, for use in war, and to com plete the Wilson dam, the half structure of which at present Is endangered by the swiftness of the current.
 It Is the estimate that Muscle shoals power Is capable of ligt- ing and turning the wheels of fn- dustry. in the south, electrffying steel mills and furnaces, and of indirectly producing through scientific processes nitrogenous fertilizer of such excellence that it's availability st little cost would make the south as rich as the basin of the Nile.

Irish Truce Has Brought Back to Dublin Much of Its Old Peace Time

London, July l1.--The two leading developments in the Irish situation today were the designation of mex. Thursday as the date on which Pre- mier Lloyd Georgesand Eamonn de- Valera will meet in London to begin conversations looking to the settle ment of the Irish question, and the coming into effect at noon of the truce in Ireland as agreed upon.
 The official announcement that MT. devalera would come to London Thursday te confer with the prime minister did not specify the place where the meeting is to be held It is understood the Irish republican Griffiths founder os the Sim Fein. and Prof John MacNeil. E. J. Dug gan and Austin Stack Sim Fein members of Parliament. Lloyd Georges associates at the conference have not been announced.
 The Irish truce brought back to Dublin much of it's old peace-tme appearance, the streets lacking the,r usual military display and the con- fidence being expressed that the re- publican forces would observe the conditions of the armistice. Strict adherence to the truce also was ob- served drought County Galway.
 Still Fighting H
 In other parts of Ireland, notably Belfast where desperate fighting took place yesterday and continued with diminished severity this morning the truce was observed in varying de- gree, it's provisions apparently beng complied with more promptly by the crown forces than the republicans.
 Acts of violence in various parts of the country were reported in con- siderable number up to midday. These clashes largely took place in the extreme western and southern sections of Ireland and the authori- ties assumed that they were due to non-receipt of notce of the truce.
 Raids of two Dublin branches of the Ulster bank were made during the day, the raiders obtaining severa- huneved pounds In currency and mak- ing their escape.
