WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.Members of
several delegations to the Washington
conference informally suggested to-
night that any thought OF adjourning
the sessions for the Christmas holi-
days be abandoned in the expectation
that by adopting such a course the de-
liberations could be definitely con-
cluded by the end of December
The negotiations were proceeding so
smoothly they pointed out. that the

this reason 1t was suggested that dele

abandon this intention so that the ses-
sions could be continued without inter-
ruption. In such case it was said
the conference might end by Decem-
ber 2s or 81.

Women Express Opinion That
Washington Conference Has
Marked New Era in
Diplomacy.
(sy The AssoeIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Convic-
ton that the Washington conference
has marked a new era in diplomacy
is expressed by the four women mem
bers of the advisory committee to the
American delegation in letter ad-
dressed to Lady Astor, member of the
British house of commons, made pub
lie here tonight.
The letter, which is signed by Mrs.
Charles Sumner Bird, Mrs Katherine
Phillips Edison, Mrs. Eleanor Franklin
Egan and Mrs Thomas G. Winter. is
in reply to a letter from Lady Astor
transmitting the views of the women
national organizations with respect to
the armament conference.
"This conference has marked a new
era in diplomacy" the letter written
by the advisory committee women says.
1--WE now realize that here in America
as in other countries, public opinion
has found it's way to power and is af-
fecting the course of statesmen who
once could settle everything behind
closed doors. a
I'VE do not agree with those people
who have little faith in the outcome
Of this conference. who believe that
nations having been selfish and having
settled their disputes by war, must
therefore continue to do SO. These
persons are filled with suspicious and
call for more srmaments and increas
! ing preparations for war, begetting a
spirit of fear and distrust
I'VE believe with you that the great
war has taught us the need of peace
and that no nation can stand by itself
va believe that if wa want oar type
of civilization and culture to endure
and to progress that this fierce race
for armament must cease. we al
know that another world war would
be more swift, more extensive, more
destructive than the last, and might
well be the beginning of the degenera :
tton of our race.
.aThe conference was called together
two weeks ago. Already the decks
have been cleared for action, all side
issues brushed away, and a concrete.
far-reaching proposal for immediate
| limitation of naval armament has been
advanced by the United States and ac-
lcepted in principle by the two other
great naval powers. England and Ja-
pan.
Now must come the vast and stu
pendous work Of adjusting the details
of these principles, Of little by little
removing the suspicious, the hatreds.
the fears of age-long existence. :
Nearly a million Of the best Of your
manhood as $4,000 of ours, fell fight
Ing on the fields of battle. - 1t is
for us to see that the task is finished. ("

AMERICAN AND BRITISH EXPERTS
OF THE AMERICAN REDUCTION PLAN
Japs, While Having No Report
Ready, Will Not Delay Seri-
Ously the Progress of
the Negotiations.
tRx The Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The prob
lem of naval limitation, left in the
background while the far eastern ne
gotiations are developing step by step
the policies of the powers towards
China, has been advanced to a point
where it may soon resume a place Of
predominating interest in the arms
It was indicated today that both the
American and British experts had vir-
tua1ly completed their work on details
of the American reduction plan, and
would be ready to report to the con-
ference early next week The Japanese
experts had no similar announcement
to make, but it was assumed they
would not permit themselves to be put
In the position of delaying seriously
the progress Of the negotiations. The
crucial point in the discussions as
viewed by the American delegation at
least, is the ''5-5-3" ratio of capital
ship strength which forms the basis
OF the American plan, and it is upon
this feature that the considerations of
the conference are expected to center,
when it turns again to the naval ques-
tion. It was said authoritatively to-
day that the opinion of the spokesmen
of the American government all ques-
tions relating to auxiliary craft are of
collateral Importance only, and can be
settled easily once there is an agree
ment on capital ships.
Conference officials are understood
to feel that the attention of the dele
gates can not be diverted from the far
eastern prohlems to the subject Of
naval armament without complicating
the procedure of the conference. and
the American delegation in particular
has shown a desire to get back into
the naval discussions as soon as the
work Of the experts will permit. The
American delegates are declared to be
well satisfied with the progress made
in the far eastern negotiations. but i'm
patient to get the naval negotiations
out of committee for more definite
exchange of views among those who
will have the final decision.
Another of China's problems reached
the point of a virtual agreement in
0uE1dS IllS Ody dL u SGSSlOn
of the committee of the whole, devoted
to the discussion of the maintenance of
postoffice and postal systems in China.
The delegates all agreed that there
should be withdrawal of the foreign
postal machinery as soon as conditions
warrant, and a subcommittee headed
by Senator Lodge of the American
delegation, drew up for later formal
adoption of a declaration of principles
under which each of the powers would
conditions for itself and
withdraw when it considered it prac-
tical to do so.
The report is to be presented to the
full committee Monday, and at the
same time another sub committee will
present for approval a resolution de-
claring also for gradual abolition of
the extra territorial rights in China as
soon as China's judicial machinery will
warrant the change. 1t is expected
that the dispatch of an international
