TO GIVE DEMONsTR ALTON
 OF FLASHLESS GUNPoWDER

Washington. Oct. (By the A P).- Flashless gunpowder, making possible night firing without illumination, one of the recent developments of the army ord nance corps, will be demonstrated Friday at the third annual meeting of the Army Ordnance association at the Aberdeen proving ground.
 Since the invention and use of smoke less powder. which eliminated the locat- ing of guns in daylight, ordnance experts have been working to prevent similar ''spotting' at night. This has now been accomplished, it was learned today. Night firing with guns as large as five inches, in which the muzzle was barely visible to observers fifty feet away have recent ly been conducted with no more than a momentarily dull red glow, and no illu- minatio whatever
 Other. features of the Friday program include the firing of the heaviest sinsie unit of ordnance in the world" the re. gently perfected 16-inch 50 calibre eur mounted on disappearing carriage. The gun measures 69 feet in length. weighs 340,o0O pounds and requires $50 pounds | of smokeless powder to propel it's :. 400. pound projectile approximately 22 miles

There could be no scheme. he de- clared, without the approval of the cab inet and parliament.
 National honor' said the premier, demands that those willing but unable to work must be saved from starvation but the measure of relief depends upon the ma ational resources"
 MT Lloyd George spoke hopefully of the Washington conference, declaring that 'it will constitute one of those out standing events which vii affret human history for centuries"
 He predicted that the Irish conference would succeed only if those engaged in the negotiations took account of the common sense opinion in both countries instead of considering the views of ex- tren1ists.

EXPLAINS MARIN EAGREEMENT
 WITH BRITISH GOVERNMENT

New York, Oct. 4.-The International Mercantile Marine company asked for and obtained from the British govern ment in 1903 an agreement for the op- eration of it's ships as a protection for American shareholders of an American corporation, P. A, $. Franklin, president of the corporation, today told the United States shipping board
 This agreement, called to the attention of the board last March, was declared by the board to be ''inimicable" to the up- building of the American merchant ma rine, in that it appeared to provide that the corporation should not pursue a poli- cy injurious to the British merchant ma- rine or British trade.
 The shipping board. it was announced by Chairman Lasker, is seeking means to re-establish through existing American companies a merchant marine in this country, and MT. Franklin was question: ed as to the full meaning of the British agreement
 The I. NJ M when it was organized, MT. Franklin said, absorbed several leading British flag lines, including the White Star line with it's great ocean liners. Its stock, he added, is held al- most entirely by American citizens.
 The British government, MT. Franklin asserted, was deeply concerned" when the I. M. NJ acquired these British com panies. We were faced with a possibility of that government giving valuable pref erential concessions to rival British lines he said.
 We went to them" he added, "and asked for equal favors, and we made the agreement in question with the under standing that at all times our American flag companies should be exempt iron any control the British government might i assume over our policies or our business. : Had the agreement with Great Britain not been made, he added. the British fae | ships-valuable assets of his corporation would have been subject to coniscat:o1 | by the British crown.
 In all the years it has been in effect i he said, nothing has ever been done tha was detrimental to American flag subsi diaries.
 Prior to 1918. the witness said, ther was British committee in the executiv organization of the corporation, but this he added had been dissolved. The func tions of this committee were advisory il character with relation to the British fla | companies abroad.
 Questions asked by Commissions Chamberlin brought out the informat I
 that the I. NJ. NJ had ninety-eight Brl. l sh ships in operation in January of thi
 year and now has one hundred an
 twenty. During the same period tn
 number of American ships has been re
 duced from eleven to ten. The l. M \
 operated twenty-seven shipping boar
 ships in January last but has only on
 now, and expects to get rid of that on
 as soon as convenient. This, he said,
 because his company has not been abl
 to get the shipping board ships in suff
 cient numbers to build up the trade route
 they wanted to.

DEVELOPING PROGRAM FOR
 ARMAMENT CONFERENCE

Washington, Oct. 4-Three addition a nations-Belgium, Holland and Por- nlgal-wero invited by the United States government today to participate in the discussion of Pacific and Far Eastern questions in connection with the armament conference. Almost coinci- dent y. it was made known by high ad- rninistration officials that the United States does not anticipate consideration of inter-allied debts at the conference.
 China was invited to participate in the Pacific and Far Eastern discussions when the first invitations were issued and acceptance by Belgium, Holland and Portugal. which is regarded here as assured, will mean that nine nations will sit together when such discussions are entered into. The question of arm- sment limitation. however. will be dis cussed only by the five major powers.
 The attitude of the administration with relation to discussion of the inter- Tied debts was developed in connection with recently published suggestions in London that the British would welcome consideration of loan matters at the Washington meeting. Officials here were represented as taking the view that the conference should be limited to matters which might involve differences of a nature likely to lead to armed conflict The question of inter-allied debts is not considered by officials here in that cate r0ry. The further statement was made that the American delegation at the forthcoming conference, lacking con- Eressional authority could not agree tc such consideration of the debt question even if it was desired that it should he undertaken. The administrations de sire that debt funding legislation be en-
 z Af,a ,i was said. was based on practical mat ters and not on anxiety that the deb question might arise to disturb harmony among the conferees.
 The invitations to the three addition al nations were accompanied by the ten ta-ive suggestions as to the conference program m. insofar as it relates to Pacif' and Far Eastern questions, and were identical in language.
