BY POLITICUS.

The wrecking crew that Is mer-
rily tettisoning the cargo of the
arms conference ship, in order to
float it off the rocks, seems to be
but little worried by the effect its
course is having on the prospects
of Senate ratification for the quad
ripple alliance.
So long as this quadruple treaty
seemed to be a part Of an honest
effort to restore the integrity OF
China and of Russia and to make
peace in the world by eliminating
the war questions in the Pacific,
many Senators seemed willing to
yield their scruples and to accept
the Hughes Balfour-Kato handi-
work.
But now that the conference Is
being stripped of most of its pre-
lenses, now that the agenda is be-
ing scrapped wherever it conflicts
with the imperialistic ideas of
Great Britain, Japan, and France,
the picture is a little palmer. The
idea Of permitting the United
States to be blackmailed into a par
ticipation of an Oriental alliance
at the price Of terminating the
Anglo-Japanese pact has lost most
Of it's attractiveness.
Attitude to China Real Test.
After all, the attitude Of the con-
ference toward China and Russia
must stand as a test Of its good
faith. II the conference cannot
meet those issues in an honest eff.
fort to solve them, the honesty of
the whole conference is tainted.
The Japanese have made little ef-
fort to conceal the fact that they
intend to make no real concessions

HARMONY NOTE
Admiral Guepratte Hints at Pos
sibIe Concessions on Sub
marine Issue.
By WILLIAM COOK.
International News Service.

PARIS, Dec. 31.-The first concilia-
tory note sounded in high official
quarters over the Franco-British sub
marine controversy at Washington
came today from Admiral Gupratte,
vice president of the naval commits
sion Of the Chamber of Deputies and
former chief of naval forces in the
Mediterranean under the British in
war time.
II have been much affected by
news of the break at Washington"
said the admiral. But in view of
the necessity Nm which France finds
herself to assure the security of the
country / believe 1t would have been
advisable to avoid a clash.
However much they may be
bluff questions of national character
are always dangerous. France may
either lose her prestige in an odious
way, and / am not surprised IL she
should be slandered, or she must
make concessions from her demand
for 10000 tons of submarines because
no other power at the Washington
conference asked SO much"
Il am surprised that the reported
breach at Washington over subma-
r-nes should have been accumulated,
because 1t must be, realized that the
Washington conference is only q
stepping stone toward disarmament, -
said Georges Leygues, former premier
and ex-minister of marine. He con-
tinued:
France has large interests that re-
quire a navy in proportion to the size.
Politically, France cannot play the
role of a third.rate nation in world
affairs. / believe this matter is
bound to have an echo at Cannes, but
can foresee satisfactory arrange
ment later on"

British Press Demand
To Cripple Submarines
BY Limiting Use in War

Faced with the possibility of an
other submarine blockade in some
future war, Great Britain today is
bending every effort toward multi
flying the submarines future abil-
ity as q sea weapon.
Great Britain, it is stated, will
propose such restrictions on sub
marine warfare, in addition to
those already offered, with a view
to making the submarine virtually
useless in the face of the British
superior naval power.
Check ON Sinking Ships.
The latest proposal. which will be
made shortly, is that submarines in
war be forced, wherever the safety
Of passengers and crew cannot be
guaranteed, to simply stand by its
prey and detain 1t until a cruiser or
other surface vessel can arrive to
capture the ship-a sort of game of
information tag.
A British spokesman, in making
this suggestion, pointed out frankly,
that with the British superiority in
naval strength, such a restriction
would virtually wipe out the sub

naval power, as an offset to the sub
marine development of some other
nation.
They said the only efficient use to
which the submarine can now be put
ts as commerce destroyers. With
their style cramped under the pro-
posals of the British, this ability
would be considerably reduced.
Having failed in her efforts to
abolish the submarine, Great Britain,
1T was indicated, will hedge their
powers at every turn.
For Aiming Merchantmen.
Not only are the restrictions
named to be asked, but the Brit. sh

Democratic Senators Declare
Article I Must Be Clarified to
Assure Ratification.
By j. BART CAMPBELL
International News Service.

An uncertain and unsettled" situ-
alton with respect to the Four Power
Pacific Treaty was disclosed on the
Democratic side of the Senate today
by a careful canvass made by the
International News Service Of all
elements of Democratic Senators
Senator Fletcher of Florida, said
that while he was at first of the
opinion that sufficient Democratic
Senators would be found supporting
the treaty to insure it's ratification
in its present form, he was doubtful
now IL 1t could be ratified without
a reservation to clarity the meaning
of Article l with respect TO "In"uiar
dominions" over which the White
have differed.
Is Close Friend OF Underwood.
Fletcher, a close friend of Senator
Underwoow of Alabama, Democratic
leader of the Senate, who Is a mem
Der of the American conference dele
cation, was one of the first on the
Democratic side to declare for the
treaty.
There can be no question that
the situation on our side is uncer-
tain and unsettled" Fletcher said.
II was of the opinion that con-
servative estimate of Democratic
Senators strongly inclined to vote
Tor ratification was twelve, or four
teen, but, because of the doubt now
entertained in some quarters as to
whether the japanese homeland is or
Is not embraced by the treaty, Il
would be only a wild guess 70 at
tempt to estimate now how the
Democratic side stands on the treaty
in it's present form"
Others Reflect Fletcher Views.
F1etcher's views were reflected by
Senator King of Utah. and others.
Republican leaders declared that
they were still hopeful that the con-
ference itself would eliminate the
japanese homeland with a reserva.
ton or a resolution before the treaty
is submitted to the Senate, and some
of them said that they had been
advised that this would probably be
done without the treaty having to be
amended or otherwise altered textu-
ally.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in Senatorial circles because
Senator Borah of Idaho, leader Of the
Senate 'irreconcilables" opposed to
the treaty, would attack il in a
speech he will deliver tomorrow at
the Church of the Covenant, one Of
Washington's largest churches. Bor-
abs friends promised that his speech
would be sensational.

Former Ambassador to v. s..
Says Any Question Arising Now
Can Readily Be Settled.
BY DUKE N. PARRY.

TOKYO, Dec 31.-"The signing Of
America, Great Britain, japan and
France means the beginning Of q
new era in international relations.
not only between Japan and the,
United States, but between each one
of the countries concerned in the
new agreement"
This is the opinion of Count
Uchida, Japanese minister of foreign
affairs expressed I'm an interview
with the International News Service.
Count Uchida has seen the various
stages Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS diplo-
macy and as ambassador to the
United States in 1909 and foreign
minister in 1911, has had opportunity
on previous occasions of knowing
well the trend of nations in interna-
tional affairs.
Much of the talk of trouble be-
tween the United States and Japan"
said Count Uchida. has never existed
so far as those in charge of the gov
ernments Of the two countries are
concerned. l have been in charge of
Tokyo through many of the so-called
crises and at no time that / recall
have affairs between Japan and
America reached the point where
there might have been thought to BE-
a strain in relations
Asked IL there would be no further
American-Japan problems, Count
Uchida said that it was not improUa-
BILE that further questions might
arise.
However" said Uchida, "the agres-
ment just signed shows that there is
willingness on the part of the ma
tons concerned to reach a compromise
on all difficult problems.
1T is not impossible that the Cali
fornia question may come up again In
some form or other, but IL IL does we
have every reason to feel IL will be
settled in spirit of mutual conces-
sion to the satisfaction of both parties
concerned. There may be other ques.
tons, but they, too, will be settled
very likely in the same spirit Of com
promise, which is one Of the dis
tinguishing marks of the new era in
international dealing.
Unlike Old Alliance.
THE Anglo-Japanese alliance mark
ed twenty years Of faithful connection
between Japan and Great Britain dur
ing which there were two wars. The
record of that alliance was splendid
achievement for both nations and we
were loath to part with it, here In
Japan. f.-r s sfs#
However. while the word alliance
should not be used in connection With
the new agreement, the former term
implying too much a military signif-
icance. the spirit Of the alliance be-
tween Japan and Great Britain is
simply extended in the new four power
agreement.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance was
formed when military powers threat
ened in the Far East, it had to do WITH
the Far East, particularly and with
India. The new agreement is not az
alliance In the militaristic sense at all.
1t is rather an instrument formed for
the maintenance of peace by peaceful
means"

cling to the under side of the leaf
and as they advance toward matur-

about. BY holding an oak twig con-
tanning any number of eggs to ones
ear a cracking sound may be heard,
like the splitting Of electric sparks. The
shell contains a tiny grub, working
for release. In many towns collec-

Last week papers mentioned the death OF the
son of Mark Hanna. The insignificant charac-

writer's as the husband Of Mrs So and So, are not
less important in the public eye than this son of
a man long dead, but who was once one the most
prominent figures in American politics. His son
was wealthy successful business man but never
overcame the probable humiliation of being known
as the son of noted man rather than for himself.
