ACT SOON ON
!. CABLE ISSUE
Davis to Call Early Conference
OF Delegates S. Firm on
Yap Attitude.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
IaternasionnI News Service.

The international Communications
Conference must be csfled into ses-
sion within the next few days II a
decision with regard to the DISPOSE
ton OF the former German cables is
to be reached within the time limit
imposed by the conference shortly
before It's adjournment here on De-
cember IA,
POWERS SHARE JOINTLY.
Since January I OF this year the
| former German cables have been OPP
Grated for the Joint financial account
| OF Great Britain, Japan, France. Italy,
and the United States, with the un-
| derstanding that receipts eventually
will be divided among the powers in
accordance with the ifinsl disposition
| or the cables.
February I5 lie the date set for the
respiration OF the present modus
that IL no decision as to nnsl sllot-
ment OF the cables was reached be-
| fore that time. the conference shoul'l
| Immediately determine upon new
working arrangement to continue
until March is. As considerable dis
| cussion Is anticipated before the
adoption OF either a nnal decision OF
| new working agreement, the con-
| ference probably will be called sew
ersl days in advance OF February is.
PROGRESS REPORTED.
Under Secretary OF State Norman n
II. Davis said today that delegates
| who sought a recess In order to re-
turn home and consult with their re-
| spective governments are reporting
| frequently and that they are appar-
| emily making progress. As president
of the preliminary conference, Davis
will issue the call for the next ses-
sion.
whether the status OF the Island OF
Yap will be determined at the forth
coming conference was declared to-
day to be problematical. That the
subject will be discussed at least. in
| cidentally seems practically certain.
as Yap Is one OF the most important
cable bases ia the Pacific and Is a re-
lay point on the German trans-Pacific
route.
The United States will not. recede
from her original contention that
Yap must be internationalized and
that the powers must have equal
rights thereon. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Council of the League Of
Nations has decided upon the form of
Class c mandates and has awarded
the island to Japan under that classi-
fication.
NO HITCH ANTICIPATED.
II is unlikely that the foreign, dele
gates who .wenb home fArl opnsulta-
ton viii return to Washinsto for
the new communications confeyence,
but as ambassadors of the various
countries interested are authorized to
act as alternates. there will be no
hitch in proceedings on that account
The reason for delay in reconven-
ing the conference is understood to be
the desire of Secretary Davis to give
the interested governments an oppor-
tunity to thresh\ out all details of pol
icy, so that the work may proceed as
expeditiously. as possible when the
de lie gates meet again.

Bold HoIdup Staged on Broad
way New York
FOUR POUCHES ARE STOLEN
Police Begin Wide Search-Postal Az
thorities Assist In Spreading
Net For "Trio In Green
Car"
FOUR POUCHES ARE STOLEN

New York.-Three armed bandits, in
an automobile, forced the driver of a
mail truck to stop on lower Broadway,
while they rifled the truck of four
pouches of registered mail valued at
1000, 900 by postal authorities.
The truck was on it's way from the
City Hall Station to the Pennsylvania
Railroad terminal With II pouches of
mail, IL Of them containing registered
matter The driver had gone only a
few blocks when green automobile
containing three men drew alongside.
They confronted him with drawn re-
volvers and ordered him to slow down.
At Leonard street two men jumped
from the automobile on to the truck
and ordered the driver to get down
from his seat. One held revolver to
the drivers head, he said, while the
other pointed weapon at his stomach.
Forcing the driver to turn over the
key, one bandit unlocked the cage and
paved over the pouches inside. Select
ing four, he transferred them to the
automobile which stood at the curb
with it's motor running. After threat
ening to elbow his brains out" if he
moved, the driver said the trio moved
off Broadway west through Leonard
street and disappeared.
The driver, Frank Havranick, aged
IS, said that after satisfying himself
his life. was no longer in danger, he
got back on the truck and drove to the
Beach Street Police Station. A gen.
eral alarm for the green automobile
was sent out at once and postal in.
spectors summoned.
The driver, when questioned by
postal inspectors, said that he had
looked in vain for policeman. The
wholesale dry goods district around
Broadway and Worth street is gen
orally deserted at night and there is
little street traffic after business
hours.
Havranick was able to furnish the
postal inspectors with part of the Ii
cense number of the car.
He has been mail driver for three
years. He was detained by the postal
authorities in order, they said, to have
him at their disposal to identify sus
poets who may be gathered in by the
police.

MR.. BOWSER
WRITES LETTERS
But He Has Not Mailed
Them Yet.
By M. QUAD.

&c. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
Mr.. Bowser came home smiling and
good-natured.
He had look Of Importance on his
face and he went about rubbing his
hands, like man who is well pleased
with himself. =
Mrs. Bowser knew that something
had happened, but she asked no ques-
tons. He seemed to want her to, but
she gave him time.
1t was after dinner that he i'd:
"AIrs. Bowser, I've done solne work
for the people Of the United States to-
day."
'You are always working for the
people," replied Mrs. Bowser.
Eyes, most always; but have
done something special today"
"Well, what is it?"
II have written several letters,
which are going to be heard from all
over the country. Here they are, all
stamped and ready to be mailed"
II see that there is one directed to
the President" said Mrs. Bowser, as
she looked them over.
Eyes, there is a. letter to the Presi-
dent, and / think he will sit up and
10 some thinking when he reads it.
It's time someone wrote him letter
and asked him some plain questions.
In the great questions Of Europe, he
has forgotten that there are ques-
lions at home. went into store
today to buy me some socks. used
to get two pairs for quarter. Do
you know what they charged me to-
: day?"
Like everything else, the price
has come up" answered Mrs. Bow
ser.
II should think it had! They
asked me just three times what the
old price was. Three times, Mrs.
Bowser, and it's highway robbery.
There is no excuse for it whatever;
it's simply human greed. Does the
President of the United States know
that the price Of mems socks has
gone up to 35 cents? Does he know
that If something Is not done, the price
Of those socks will be so cents, and
we will have to go barefoot in our
shoes, or else submit to highway rob-
beryW
II don't suppose the President
knows anything about it." said Mrs.
Bowser.
"But he should know all about it !"
persisted Mr.. Bowser. HE wears
socks himself, don't he? And don't
he know how much he has to pay
for them? What did we elect him
for? Must he be so interested In
Europe that he does not know the
people Of the United States have
fallen into, the hands Of robbers
This here letter Is going to wake
him up. If 1t doesn't wake him up,
you can look to see war again."
"Here is a letter to Senator
knox," said Mrs. Bowser, y"but you
have spelled his name wrong. 1t
should be Knox and you have got
it Knocks You will have to fix it."
"Therell be no fixing, Mrs. Bow
ser. I have spelled it Knocks be-
cause he knocks them out. If it
wasn't for him, Europe would have
eaten us alive. He has knocked one
