SAYS u. S. CAN
PREVENT COLLAPSE

London, Nov. 2O.-Unless the Unit
ed States shouldersssth burden of
world finance, only miracle can
avert the financial catastrophe which
is ever drawing nearer, the Sunday
London Times declares in its editorial
columns this morning.
The newspaper regards the limita-
ton OF armaments as an accomplished
fact, for which it gives credit to the
United States and passes on to it's
discussion of finance with the re-
mark that it is hoped the American
people will display equal courage and
foresight in combating the vastly
more imminent menace of world
finance.
"America alone can stabilize credit
by devising some scheme for financ-
ing the nations now lowering on the
brink of insolvency." it says, under
the caption, washington and World
"No one for moment imagines
that Germany is able to pay 100000
600 gold marks on January 49," the
editorial continues. "In the event of
her failure to do so, the difficulties
to French finance may prove insuper-
able, and if France follows Germany
into bankruptcy, the crash may well
bring down the whole edifce of Eu-
ropean credit.
I'm such an event, the United States
will suffer incalculable losses. The
only way out is for America to OBJ
serve the precedent set by the Bank
of England when it saved American
credit in minor crisis by drawing
gold from all the world to loan where
it was most needed.
America holds the worlds gold to-
day. The time is short for, should
Germany fail to pay, France may
march into the Ruhr region and then
who can say what disarmament pro-
posals may not vanish in the smoke
of war;"
The Sunday newspapers, which last
week heralded to the English public
the news of the American naval limi-
tation proposals, generally fail today
to comment upon the developments at
Washington, leaving this to special
correspondents, who follow the gen
eral line of approval and hopefulness
which characterized the British press
throughout the week.
Gheee editorial isnaee1af Ihss ohserxer
is filled with comment on the recep-
ton in India of the Prince of Wales,
under the caption, "India's Choice
Wales or Gandhi."

Washington Conference

Washington, Nov. 21.-The Wash
ington conference turned it's attention
to the land armaments at the third
plenary session. At later executive
session of all the delegations the Far
Eastern questions will be taken UP
for detailed discussion. The opn-
ion is growing that these que esticn
have to be dealt with on general lines
because of complicated and less tan
gible nature compared with the coil
crete naval ornaments proposals.
Aristide BRAND, seven times pre-.
mier of France, held the conference
spell bound for an hour after it cor
vened at II o'clock while he told of
the need of France for large army.
Introducing the subject of the land
armament, Secretary Hughes said he
presented no problem for the United
States whose traditional policy was a
small army and said in consideration
of the naval armament is progressing
favorably.
Germany, while apparently disarnr.
ed could with the present machinery
efaise an arnGy.or six or.seyen millions
said BRAND, adding that 250 900 Gert.
mans are daily receiving military in.
structions. Although a part of Ger.
many wants peace, he said, anothc,
section is continuing to preach the old
Prussian doctrine of declaring Franc c
wants peace. Premier BRAND asked
how any one could ask a nation to dis
arm under such conditions. The pre-
mier said France proposed a further
reduction in her army to half of the
former strength.
Speaking for Great Britain and in
reply to Premier BRAND, Arthur
James Balfour, heading the British
delegation, practically pledged the
support of Great Britain to France
"in the face of the lust for domina-
ton"

DEATH CLAIMS
JOHN D. LONG

Jonesville, Nov. 20.-The town and
community has been especially sad
dened today, in the sudden death of
one of it's honorable old gentlemen,
Mr.. John D. Long.
Mr.. Long had made his home for
a number of years with his son, Mr..
Ed. Long, some two miles above
Jonesville. During last night he called
his son into his room and complained
of pains through his body. He was
given every attention by the loving
hands of his sons family, and by
morning he seemed so much better,
that he arose and dressed. An hour
or so later, however, he died sudden
ly, without any expression of pain.
In his death the community feels q
distinct loss, as he was a universally
loved man; his kindly disposition, his
great love for children and his ster-
ling qualities of manhood had en-
deared him to every one.
He was the son of the late John D.
Long and brother of the late eX-
Sheriff J. Gideon Long. He was a
Confederate Veteran, whose service as
a soldier was marked with great valor
His wife preceded him to the grave
some 40 years ago. He is survived
by three sons, Messrs. Ed. Long, Will
liam Long and Nance Long, a num-
ber of grandchildren, two brothers,
Messrs. Grant Long and Walker
Long, one sister, Miss Pattie Long,
and number of other relatives.
The funeral will be held Monday at
2 o'clock in the Presbyterian church
and the interment will be at Gilead
cemetery.

PAVES WAY TO
AN AGREEMENT

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Great Brit.
ain has indprscd without reservation
the "5-5--3" ratio proposed in the
American naval limitation plan, it was
learned tonight on highest authority
While accepting the plan as a whole
only in principle because of their
dcSlr" to put forward proposed mod
hcation of the submarine and replacc-
ment features. the British delegation
rs said to have approved the suggested
relative strength for Great Britain
the United States and Japan without
cquivocation.
Adherence of the British represe, =
tat!ves to the capital ship ratio b, =
came known tonight as an aftermat
of the conference yesterday between
Secretary Hughes. Mr.. Balfour ard
admiral Kato, at which the naval
question WAS canvasscd thoroughly il
the l!%ht of Japanese reservations.
Washington, Nov. 20.-As a resu t
Of the conference yesterday bctwec 3,
Secretary Hughes, Mr.. Balfour and
Admiral Baron Kato, at which tre
naval question was thoroughly ca,-
vaSScd in the light of the Japanc, Z
reservations, the greatest confiaen, Q
was expressed in authoritative Japa.-
csc circles tonight that an acco. 1
eventually wolud ic reached. The con-
ference, it was said, effcctua!lv "c!ea 49,
ed the air" Of many misunderstood d
points.
While no official statement W;
forthcoming as to the line followed hv
the tri-partc discussion yesterday, It
was believed that a partial explar.-
ton, at least, lay in the statement s.
cured at the headquarters of the delc-
cation that the hrc great naval poy.
crS might have varying estimates Of
the actual existing strength Of thc'r
na"ios which, being harmonizr /.
might suggest "A way to n settlcmc. t
of ratios"
The position of Japan was set for: n
tonight as that of determination to Il =
tain favorable agreement. Japanc. G
experts were emphatic in declaring
that tonnage and not consideration If
speed and armament was the logical
basis of ratio displacemcnts. Thcv
pointed out that battle cruiser miol,t I
possess greater speed but that she WIS
i4..e dnaaeht i.s> stxsaaasa
of almor and number of guns and that
in naval engagement at close quar-
ters would certainly be at a disaGvau-
tagc. Therefore, the fact that Britt. \
and Japanese capital stips includcd
battle cruisers was not to them an IN
aication Of superiority and should net
be contendcd as such, they insisted.
Japan has no positive program con-
corning the general question of China
to be discussed this week, it WIS
learned today, but as various poin s
are presented, Japan will explain her
position rs clearly as possible. In jap
anesc circles some anxiety was appa'-
ent tonight as to the concrete Qucs-
tons which China might bring before
the conference. Emphasis was laid On
the Japanese contention that the CHI
nesc delegates reprsnt only the Pck-
ing government which does not con-
troll great part of China, and that
The delegates therefore do not repro
sent the Chinese people as whole.

Engineers Find
Great Gas Area

New Orleans, Nov. 2O.-An enor-
nous natural gas field, with produc-
ton potentialities unsurpassed in the
history of the natural gas industry of
the country" has been uncovered in
northern Louisiana, according to a re-
port made public here tonight by en-
gineers of the United States bureau
Of mines following an investigation
conducted for the state at the request
Of Governor Parker.
A productive area of PIP square
miles, or Approximately l35,00O acres
in a solid block, located in Union,
Ouachita and Morehouse parishes,
near the city of Monroe, and designat-
ed as the Monroe gas field, is outlined
in the report of the engineers.
Although over 90,000,000,000 cubic
feet of gas has been removed since
the discovery well" was drilled in
1916, the engineers estimate the toGal
amount of gas remaining in the re-
scrvoir at approximately 4,75O,O0O,-
100000 cubic feet, with indications
that the volume is much greater be-
cause the limits of the field had not
been finally determined at the time
their investigation was concluded.
