LONDON, Dec. 30.-Efforts at the

use of the submarine as a weapon, and
Frances claim for a large undersea
fleet, continue to be absorbing topics

vote several columns to reports of the

The majority of the editorial writ.

the Daily Telegraph says faces the
world with 'the D disability of the
worldwide orientation of naval policy
away from the capital ship and to

thinks the immense expenditures nee.
essary for the maintenance of large
submarine fleets and "the armadas OF
auxiliary craft which must be built
manned and trained to cope with
them" will wipe out all saving eff

The Daily News condemns Frances
decision as "the disastrous debasing
of the standard of international moral

Frances behavior cannot be regarded
as other than unfriendly to Grea

SEEK STABLE
MONEY BASIS
FOR EUROPE
Meeting of French Business
Men and Financiiers Held in
Paris to Grapple With
Economic Situation.
IMPORTANT MEETING
CBy Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 3O.-The meeting of
British and French financiers and
business men at the French foreign
office this afternoon to grapple with
the European economic situation, is
regarded in French circles as one of
the most important experiments since
the first efforts to bring Europe back
to a peace basis.
1t is generally believed that if the
conference organizes an international
consortium of bankers, merchants and
manufacturers, it will have a marked
influence on the future of Europe.
Even in French political circles,
where all efforts of British business
men TO intervene in European prob
lens have been regarded with sus-
picion the impression is gaining that
after all business heads may be able
to get ahead faster than diplomats.
Reason for Conference
The failure of the allies to place any
portion of the German reparation
! bonds which it is understood have
been offered in every market capable
| of absorbing such paper is said to have
brought about the present conference.
! All ideas of making an enormous
loan, which all financiers agree is
necessary 20 set on foot the work of
/ restoring Europe economically, has
| been abandoned until it is seen what
| the supreme council meeting at Can
nes may workout in connection with
! the business mems conference here.
Difference of Opinion
/ There still remains a difference OF
| opinion between London and Paris re-
/ garding the participation of Germany
and Russia in consortium and in the
| international economic conference
which will eventually be held The
French maintain their attitude of re-
fusing to meet the Bolsheviki Official
! ly, although there are indications that
official circles are coming to the con
clusion that the European problem can
: be solved only when all the great pro
f, ducing nations get together.

the opening of a campaign prelimin-
ary TO the congressional elections next
November was touched off this week
by Richard Linthicum, director of pub

mittee. The Democratic drive" opens
with the partisan hope of entering a
wedge of jealousy between President
Harding and Secretary of State
Hughes
Linthicum's statement, sent out to
5000 Democratic newspapers through
out the country. is rehash of back
door" arms limitation conference gos-
sip which has made the rounds of
Washington until it has become quite
threadbare.
Apparently recognizing that the
American people are happy in the ac-
complishments of the Washington con-
ference to date, Linthicum in his
statement avoids a discussion of it.
Hughes is attempting to put the presi-
dent in eclipse; that there is plot
10 make Harding "one-term presi-
dent" that the president is jealous OF
Hughes prestige.
Republican leaders who have dis
cussed the Linthicum statement as
sert that the purpose behind such pro
Daganda is to start row over the
four power Pacific treaty in the sen
ate.
Brand Charges Untrue.

independent newspaper, has branded
tho charges made by Linthicum as
untrue" adding:

DEMAND FOR SAFE ROADWAYS
Some Kind Of Protection Should BE
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skiddina OF Dirt Roads.

What value do we place on a human
life? To judge by some Of the roads
over the country Ii is not much. Lives
are lost many times where a few dol.
lars or a little extra time would make
a road safe enough so that taking a
ride along them on n rainy day In an
auto would not be such a hair-raising
experience as is often the case now
says a writer In Successful Farmer.
Recently a friend OF mine was driv-
ing along n road within a half mile OF
a small town and ran into a ditch six
feet deep, upsettlng his car and smash.
Ing things up generally, though he es-
capped unhurt, and had no one with
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road, but nothing was done
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet of the
roadway, and there was not even a
ridge or anything to ward the wheels
of and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds of automobiles are
and II is impossible to always keep
of roads when they are slippery, II is
not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them In a condi-
ton that would make an accident un.
der ordinary conditions possible. Dur
Ing the last two years l have been
riding around considerably and we
have been in places where It was very
dangerous driving, and often came up
on such places with no chance at all
to avoid them. In one case We crossed
a bridge after a light shower, and on
the far side found that 1t had caved
away to within six inches Of the road,
though that was solid. For a rod the
ditch was not two feet from the road,
with nothing TO check a slide into 1t.
A very steep hill began just beyond
the bridge. Our car could not make
the hill, and we stalled, and had to
back some. The least bit Of skiddlng
would have been certain to have car

Travelled road between county seats,

Gus, though this was the worst of all.
Wherever there is a place at the side
of a dirt road that has much travel,
that is deep enough to upset a car
that went down into 1t, some kind OF
protection should be made to keep cars
from skidding off. We are not consid-
ering the quick cash to n side from
careless driving or going too fast In

roads should be safe in muddy weather

L SEEMS that this spring has fav-
L ored us with a greater wealth Of
beautiful millinery than can be re-
called for many years. SO many new
materials have been added to thvse
that have been hang established as be
longing to %headwear, that there Is an
amending variety in the displays: lines
are graceful, colors pleasing. One
makes a little journey in quest of
new hats with a disposition to buy
more than are needed, for they are as
alluring as fairy tales that never
grow tlresome, with new and unex-
pected chapters added TO those we are
already devoted 10. II Is c%Onsoling TO
reflect that prices are not quite so high
as they were a year ago-but they are
still high enough, and this Is no fairy
tale. Materials and other costs OF
production have not yet reached a
pre-war level, but they are settling.
In the meantime whatever else fate
may deny her, every woman Is en-
titled to a new spring hat. She will
find among the displays a few at least
and perhaps many. that enhance her
good looks, for there are shapes for
every face and type and colors that
are subtly fatterlng. 1t is worth while
to look carefully for them.
