WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.- Epoch
making strides toward solution of
China's problems were taken to-day by
the armament conference committee
on Pacific and Far Eastern questions.
The nine powers agreed to appoint
an international commission to investi-
gate China's demand for an abolition
of foreign extraterritorial rights in her
domain and to report within year
after its appointment whether these
rights may be abandoned "progres-
sively or otherwise" The commission
will visit China with view to obtain
ing first hand advice as to whether
China is capable Of extending her ma
tive laws into those sections of her
territory which are now given over to
the laws of foreign countries.
The powers also received from the
Chinese delegates specific demand
for the withdrawal Of all foreign
troops, railway guards, police, tele-
graph systems, telephones and wireless
stations which have been established
on Chinese soil without the sanction
of any treaty" Included among the
foreign troops are specified about 49,
600 Japanese soldiers, who now occupy
garrisons in Shantung, Hankow, Man
churia and elsewhere.
Together with the demand for the with
drawal Of foreign troops, where their
presence was described as violation
already approved by the conference, DIR.
Alfred SEE on behalf of China pre-
sented proposal that the powers enter
into covenant never again to invade
Chinese territory without China's ex-
press consent"
The proposal will be considered
when the committee reconvenes to-
morroy. Japan is expected to have
something to say about it. Hitherto
the Japanese delegates have indicated
that Japan, being an insular. island
empire with a growing population ard
an expanding trade, must necessarily
r: e;nland to relieve congestion at
hcme, bus Prince Tokugawa declared
tonight that his country would go a
long way toward helping China regain
ministrative autonomy. He said
Japan stood ready to consider a pro-
posal for the withdrawal of her troops
with the utmost friendliness.

Ch;,.l," said Prince Tokugawa. "There-

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Premier LLOYD
George tonight placed before the Sim
Fein delegation in London new basis
for settlement of the Irish problem,
in which the question Of an immedi-
ate All-Ireland Parliament is ruled out
and the suggestion made that the sit
uation be met by the grant of wide
powers to South Ireland, with revision
of Che boundaries of North and South
The Premier urged the delegation to
consider the scheme as a temporary
arrangement, but, according to the
Tribune's Dublin correspondent, the
Dali Eireann Cabinet in recent dis
cussion with it's representatives in Lon
don insisted that national unitv must
be an essential condition of any settle
meYt.
Called After Ulster Balk
The new terms were drafted and the
Irish republican ENJOYS summoned to
Downing Street soon after the recent
here Of Sir James Craig's announce
ment to the Ulster Parliament to-day
that the proposals of the British gov
ernment made last week were cutter
ly impossible" and that he had so in
formed Lloyd George. In the confer
ence tonight were the Premier, Austen
chamberlain and Viscount Birkenhead
Lord Chancellor, representing the gov
ernment, and Arthur Griffith, Michael
J. Collins and Eamon Duggan for the
Sim Fem. If the conditions are ac-
cepted by South Ireland's spokesmen
they will be submitted to Ulster before
next Tuesday.
According to Dublin dispatches to-
night there is feeling that CRAIG
would not have rejected the govern. rrs
ments proposals SO CURLY unless he
felt sure of ilssluential political back
ing in England. The danger of ireland
becoming once more an English party

held that II the coalition, fell and was
replaced by Conservative government

strength of his position, will ultimate.

Valera Touring West Ireland
Eamon de Valera left Dublin this
afternoon for weeks tour of West
ireland, where he may deal with the
situation in speeches. The Sim
Feiners are plainly disturbed over
Craig's statement that $500 special
constables will be enrolled by the
Ulster government A majority Of the
specials are Orangemen, and in the
Sim Fein view northern Catholics
would not be safe at their hands. This
is declared to be strong motive for
refusing to agree to any settlement
from which Ulster is excluded.
The British public noted with salts
faction that while Craig's declination
is emphatic it does not close the door
to further negotiations. Saying that
Ulster would not enter an all-ireland
Parliament under present conditions,

but are amenable to the fifteen-n,;les-

Other new traffic regulations are in
corporated in the amendments, all de-
signed to make the streets safer for

violations of these provisions. other

conviction, is fine of not more than

cred one of the most drastic ordinances
proposed in recent years. Ii is EXPECT
ed that it will fill all unoccupied ac-
commodations in the city prisons with

effect.

ling, is due January Is, and if it is met
by purchasing sterling. dollars or
francs the mark will depreciate be-

cial experts. The only method whereby
Berlin could raise money for the pay

The British regard the German posi-

son to- expect that an agreement will
be reached which will assist Germany

80 Days in Jail for speeders,
No Fines, Aldermen Propose

Automobile speed volators face
thirty days in jail, if amendments to
the present traffic regulation ordinance
recommended yesterday by special
committee of the Board of Aldermen
are adopted. The proposed amend
nsents take away the discretionary
power of the courts to impose fines
and provide solely for sentence of
thirty days in Jail.
The matter was laid over for one
week, as it has to be under the rnles,
before the Board of Aldermen can take
final action. There is little doubt that
the ordinance will be adopted at the
next meeting of the board Tuesday. 1t
does not change the present legal speed
limit of fifteen miles an hour within
the crowded city, but puts new set
of teeth in the ordinance by making
the Jail sentence compulsory. Twenty
miles an hour is permitted in outlying.
sparsely settled districts.
AS formulated the ordinance applies
to all types of motor vehicles, private
cars and trucks. Fire trucks and de-
partment cars, police cars, ambulances
