FRENCH ITALIAN
NAVY Status TO
De C0Ns|DE. RED
British Experts Reported to
Be Opposed to Any Up
ward Revision of Fleet
Strength at This Time.

Washington, Dec. s (by the AS
.sociated Press. Reconsideration of
the status Of French and Italian
naVies under a five-power naval
limitation agreement may be taken
up next week, some of those con-
nected with conference groups be-
lieve. The step, however, is under
stood to be dependent on clearing
up of the 5-5-3 ratio for Great
Britain, the Unitec states and
Japan, and 1t is generally believed
action in that regard will serve as
a precedent under which to deal
with the European naval situation.
Attention OF more than one ma
tional group here has been attract
ed by Paris dispatches dealing with
what appear to be plans of France
to augment its naval force. The
dispatches said 1t had been voted
to increase naval personnel from
81, 900 to $1,000 and some concern
is expressed as to what effect this
might have on conference negotia-
tions.
The rule for naval limitation
proposed by Secretary Hughes con-
templates virtually n naval status
quo as to relative strength but on
a basis Of reduced forces. All three
navies involved would be scaled
down.
Premier BRAND, Of France. was
generally understood to have ac-
cepted that principls for his gov
ernment.
What study British experts have
given to the European naval prob
lem has not been. disclosed. but 1t
has been indicated they would look
without favor on any upward re-
vision in naval power for neighbor
states at n time when Great Britain
was agreeing to cut down.

"You have seen in the public
press the text Of the proposed trea-
ty with Great Britain. The terms
of this agreement are in violent
conflict with the wishes Of the ma
iority OF this nation as expressed
freely at successive elections in the
past three years.
''T feel it my duty to inform you
Immediately that l cannot recon-
mend acceptance OF this treaty
either in the dali eireann or to the
country. I am supported by the
ministers of home affairs and de-
fense. A public session of the
dali eireann is being summoned
for Wednesday.
81 ask the people to maintain the
same discipline as heretofore.
Members Of the cabinet, though of
divided opinions, are prepared to
carry on public services as usual.
The army as such, is of course not
affected by the political situation.
The great test of our people has
come. Let us face it fairly with
out bitterness. and, without re-
ordinations. There is o. definite
constitutional way of resolving ou"
political difficulties. Let us not
depart from it, and let the conduct
Of the cabinet in this matter be
an example to the whole nation"

lures until the whole block on the
eastern side Of the main street had
been wiped out. The buildings
burned included several saloons,
dance halls, cafes, stage office and

New York. Dec. S.--(Speclal. y,
With medals and no money jingling
in his pockets, Captain Aylmer
Brandon, the American who shot
down the first Zeppelin in the war,
was found begging for work in this
city. He admitted that hunting the

siderably easier than hunting a job
on solid ground.
Captain Brandon was born I'm

youth, and after studying at OK

University of Paris. He became
interested in aviation, and in the
year before the war was an ac-

GORkY PRAISES
RELIEF WORK Of
j. 6. IN RUSSIA
Novelist Says He Believes
the Deaths From Starva-
tion in Russia Will Ag-
gregate 35,O00,000.


Stockholm, Dec. S.-MaXim
Gorky, Russian novelist and for
merly head of the Russian relief
commission told the Associated
Press correspondent that when he
passed through this city on his way
to Berlin that he believed the
deaths from starvation in Russia
would aggregate 35,000,000.
He heartily praised the support
which the American people were
giving to the starving people Of
Russia, but said the only way out
of the serious situation would be
through the establishment of inter-
national relief founded on the
American plan, broad, efficient,
complete and well controlled.
He doubted, however, whether
the necessary relief would arrive
in time to avert disaster.
He expressed the belief that Mr..
Hoover's relief was somewhat i'm
perfect and lacked organization,
because sufficient safeguards were
not taken to prevent stealing Of the
food by gangs or soviet officials,
from the. time the commodities ar
rived in Petrograd until they are
consumed.
M. Gorky said Mr.. Hoover had
placed too much confidence in the
soviet.
He deplored the passivity of
France and excused Germany for
not coming to the support of Rus
sia. Sweden's contribution to the
famine he thought was but a drop
In the ocean.
On the question of Russian In
terror politics, Gorky said unrest
Is as common as dinner is here,
but nobody takes any notice. Quite
recently there was a fierce riot in
Potrograd which was only quelled
after much bloodshed."

UPRISINCS OCCgR IN
SPITE OF INJUNCTION

Chicago, Dec. (by the Asso.
ciated Prcss) .--Chicago's stock.
yards district today was the scene
Of further outbreaks, which al
times approached the riot stage. as
result of the strike of packing
plant employees.
One man was shot, several others
were injured, police engaged in
pistol and rifle fights with strike
sympathizcrs and dozens of men
and women were arrested. The
disorders occurred as workers were
leaving the plants. In other cities
the situation was reported euiet.
TIE outbreaks came within a
few hours after Judge Sullivan had
issued a TEMPORARY Injunction re-
straining strikers from picketing,
but, despite this order, several
thousand men gathered around the
plants.
At the Armour Glue company
plant, about 1000 men began huri-
ing bricks and stones at the work
ers as they left. Almost simul-
taneously disorders broke out in
half a dozen other places and with
in short time the whole packing
district seemed to be in disorder.
Women played an important
part. forming in crowds which
blocked the traffic and hindered
the police. One crowd OF 250, led
by a gray haired woman, was
charged repeatedly by mounted
police before it was disbanded.
When the larger mobs had been
broken up, the police found their
work was only half finished for
men barricadcd in houses and be-
hind piles of debris. kept un a
sporadic fire on the police. The
man shot was n sniper and he kept
ND his fire until detectives closed
in on the house where he was bar
ricaded and arrested him.
Attempts of the police to ar
rest the fighters brought at
attacks from the women. who
hurled pepper in the police
mems eyes and effected the re-
lease of many prisoners.
Chief Of Police Fitzmorris
threw every available policeman
into the district tonight, and as
sumed personal charge of his
forces. Two hours after the first
outbreak, he declared. Everything
seems we'll in hand" In a house to
house search of the district scores
of fire arms and gallons of whisky
were confiscated.
While the packing companies
still maintained that the strike was
of small consequence and not Seri-
ously affecting them. Cornelius
international president of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen Of North
declared 1t had reached
to a 100 per cent stage.
Mr.. Hayes declared that 5000
men were on strike in the various
packing ccnters 10000 Of these be-
ing in Chicago. OF the latter. 2O,-
600 were employed by the big five
packers-Swift, Armour, Morris,
Wilson and Cudahy. he said.
