Secretary Of the Navy DENLY OF
ncially admitted yesterday the Sc
rious deficiency of the submarine
arm of the navy. Convinced that
an effort must be made to provide
effective submarines OF the latest
types, Mr.. DENLY issued a formal
statement, the conclusion Of which
follows:
Our navy today is seriously
lacking in recently developed types
of submarines. We have no mine

under construction. no submarines
with large caliber guns, such as
the British NJ class. and, what Is
most important, no long-radius
cruiser submarines.
1T is considered highly impor-

this country to construct at least
three each of these types for ex-

Miss Rankin in Plea
For rdLeWonen Has
Only Sin, Audience

NEW YORK. Sept. "a. - Miss
jeanette Rankin met disappoint-
ment today when she set out to
do for jobless New York women
what Urban Ledoux has been
striving to accomplish for unem-
ployed men.
The thousands of girls out of
work today are shy and bashful.
They are ashamed to talk of
their unemployment, while the
men will shout II from the
housetops."
This was the reason given by
Miss Rankin. former Representa-
tive from Montana, for the
limited proportions of the group
OF men and women who heard
her talk today in Union Square.
Other than the, habituaI group of
park loungers there were few
women. PERHAPS a third of the
listeners were reporters, pho
tographers and policemen.
Because women are naturally
more reticent than men," she
said, "the problems have gone by
the board. But the problem has
reached an unbearable point. 1t
Is hard for a woman now to get
job of any sort and keep her
self respect.
Hundreds of professional
women with specialized work
are without jobs

PERU WILL REFUSE
CHILEAN DEMAND
FOR PLEBISCITE
Demands Return of Tao
na-Arica Provinces and
Also Tarapaca.
Especial Cable to The washinston Herald

Especial Cable to The washinrtou Herald
and Chicago Trfbuns.)
BuENos AYREs. Sept. 24.-That
Peru does not intend to submit the
Tacna-Arica question TO a plebiscite
has become evident from the for
eign ministry's publication of an
official book outlining Peru's side
Of the so-calied Pacific problem
and demanding the return to Peru
not only OF the provinces of Tacna
and africa, but also Tarapaca,
which Peru ceded definitely to Chile
instead Of paying war indemnity.
The publication of the book fol-
lowed the secret session in the
chamber of deputies. at which For
eign Minister Solomon explained
the country's international rela-
tions, especially with reference to
Chile, and referred to the propa-
ganda which he is conducting in
other countries in favor Of Peru's
cause. The chamber OF deputies
voted confidence in the foreign
ministry who then released the
book. The document, in part. says:
The revived Federal service will
is seen clearly that the treaty of
peace signed by Peru and Chile on
October 20, 1888, must be revised
and the province Of Tarapaca un-
conditionally returned to Peru and
that the provinces of Tacna and
africa must be returned to Peru
without a plebiscite and without
any form of indemnity or payment
on Peru's part"
The publication of this book is
the first real evidence of the fact
that Peru and Chile are not able to
get together on the plebiscite and
that Chile's efforts in this direc-
ton will probably produce a crisis
threatening the peace Of South
America.

ASKS FEDERAL
AID In FINDING
JOBS FOR IDLE
Secretary Davis Urges
Revival of Employ
ment Service.
CONFERENCE WILL
|, HEAR PROPOSAL
Voluntary Agencies in
Various Sections Are
Favored.

Revival Of the United States En-
ployment Service to aid in finding work
for the millions OF men now Jobless
is imperative. Secretary OF Labor Da-
Wis has decided
An emergency appropriation to re-
establish the service probably will be
asked OF Congress soon. It was learned
at the Labor Department last night.
An initial sum of s25o.ooo will be
asked under present plans
The proposal also will be submitted
to President. Harding's unemployment
conference, which will open its sessions
here tomorrow with fifty-one distin-
guished officials. capitalists, labor
leaders and public spirited citizens
present Should Secretary Davis plan
receive the approval Of the conference,
which seems certain. officials are con-
fident Congress would promptly allow
the appropriation
To Find Work for JobIess.
The revised Federal service will act
as a central clearing house for a
nation wide voluntary employment
service, which the administration hopes
will result from the conference.
When the Federal service comes to
life, it's purpose win be exactly op-
posite from that for which Il was
originally established. Former Presi-
dent Wilson first recommended the
service so that sufficient men mfght
be found for war work. Its future
obligation will be to find work for
men.
Administration leaders believe the
present critical unemployment situa-
ton can be greatly relieved by the
establishment of voluntary unemploy-
ment organizations throughout the
country which would work under the
direction of the revised Federal serv-
lee.
The administration hopes TO sp-
peal to the patriotism Of the coun-
try and arouse il to the seriousness
of the unemployment situation 81
that the voluntary employment
agencies will be promptly formed
in each locality. The plan is similar
to the workings of the Food Admin
istration during the war when huge
quantities of food were conserved
by united voluntary effort
By the naming of three additional
delegates plans for the conference
were virtually complete last night.
The delegates appointed yesterday
are:
Clarence J. Hicks, of New York.
assistant president of the Standard
OIL Company.
James A. Campbell. of Youngs-
town. Ohio. president of the Youngs-
town Heat and Tube Company.
Charles NJ Babcock, OF ST. Paul.
highway commissioner of Minnesota.
President Harding will address
the delegates either tomorrow or
Tuesday. and probably outline the
administrations program as to
what 1t believes can be accom-
plished.
May Last Ten Days.
After that the conference will be
under the direction of Secretary
Hoover who has mapped out a COM
prehensive course for meeting the
situation, as the result of weeks of
careful study.
The conference will be broken up
into various committees for study
Of various phases OF the unemploy-
ment problem, with meetings of the
entire conference interspersed. Spe-
cial hearings in order to reveal to
the country the exact situation will
be held.
The conference probably will last
ten days at least.

Morrison Issues Statement.
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, in a
statement issued yesterday declared
that only widest publicity" will
bring peace to the West Virginia
coal fields. He said:
The announcement that coal mine
owners have asked Federal Judge
Anderson to enjoin miners from at
tempting to unionize Mingo County
is logical.
These owners find that the West
Virginia State government is not
strong enough to aid them in their
peonage purpose. so they appeal to
an injunction judge.
The West Virginia situation can
not be cleared up by an Injunction
judge. any more than IL can be by
gunner and thug government. The
only remedy Is the widest publicity.
The coal owners attitude toward
publicity Is indicated by the recent
statement that they asked the Sem
ate investigating committee to de-
fer their probs while a trial in Mlns'o
County is on. The miners objected
to this procedure.
Il hope Judge Anderson will
notify these coal owners that they
abandon using a State government
for their anti-union purpose and
permit the West Virginia govern
ment to function"
