Japan and China Accept Mediation in

Washington, Dec. Naval experts
Of the United States and Japan, ac-

session to disagree on the question OF

The experts, including those OF Great

reach an accord was considered as
throwing the matter into the hands OF
the chief delegates and as indicating
a break among the experts due 10

FEAR NEW WAR
IS NEAR IN ERIN
Sim Fein Refuses to Take Oath
of Allegiance to the
Crown.
GIVE UP HOPE FOR TRUCE
Refusal of Ulster to Enter an ALL
ireland Parliament Under Pres
ent Conditions Considered as
Closing Door to Settlement.

London, Dec. --GOvernment circles
expressed belief that the Irish confer
ence would break down almost immedi-
ately as a result of the difficulties
which have arisen and that the re-
sumption of armed hostilities could
not be postponed.
The alternative settlement plan sub
mitted by the government to the Sim
Fein representatives included the ne
cessity for a definite undertaking by
the Sim Fein to take the oath of al
legiance to the crown.
The Sim Fein has many objections
to the governments new plan, but even
if it agreed to discuss this plan it
would not now give its assent TO the
oath of allegiance proviso, it is stated
Give Up Truce Hope.
Thus it appears, according to gov
ernment officials that the breach in the
negotiations, if it comes, as now is
feared, will take place over the al
legiance issue
There has been hope OF. prolonginG

the truce and auJourn1ng the negOrIa-
tiOnS for an additional period of two
months, but this hope now has receded.
Refusal of Ulster to enter an all-Ire-
land parliament under present condi-
tiOns," voiced in Belfast by Premier
Craig, is not considered here as clos
ing the door to settlement on the
basis of the semiofficial plan now adj
vanced.
Under this plan, the terms offered
Ireland would be drafted in treaty
form and submitted to the house of
commons. The treaty would embOdy
provisions for an all-Irish parliament
but would give northwestern Ulster
as defined by a boundary commission,
permission to declare itself out either
at once or after limited period.
Believe Ulster Would BaIk.
Ulster, however, it is believed, would
balk at the intended reconstruction Of
it's boundary, although no lessening Of
the total area under control of the
Ulster parliament is fOreseen here. 1t
is pointed out that severance from
Ulster to Catholic districts might be
balanced by acquisition of Protestant
districts now assigned to southern Ire
land.
Plans for prolonging the truce in
Ireland, which both the British gov
prnment and Sim Fein DESIRE are en-
barrassed by the fact that about 5000
men and women are in internment on
charges Of sympathy with the Sim
| Fein movement.
The Sim Fein, it is agreed, could
| hardly be asked to accede to continu-
ance of the truce if it involved further
| internment of their supporters. AS a
! result the wholesale liberation OF
! prisoners is anticipated, only those
| convicted by courts martial being held
and these being treated as prisoners OF
! war

John f. Cullerton, Business Manager OF
the Fire Department, Evolves Great
Plan to Save Property
Losses in Chicago Now Averaging Over Five
Millions Annually Will be Reduced
to Minimum

John T. CullertOn, the efficient busi-
ness manager of the Chicago Fire De-
partment, continues to win public con-
fidence and to justify the creation of
his department by the many great
improvements he has introduced. He
figures that the inhabitants of the
United States annually lose the cost
of twenty superdreadnaught through
carelessness in guarding against fires.
Mr.. Cullerton announced plans in
tended to reduce losses here to a mini
num-
Chicago's loss last year was $780,
900, or almost enough to maintain the
police department.
The number Of fires jumped from
9,0S3 ten years ago to 14,407 last
year. Ninety per cent of the fires
started from rubbish in easements
Fifty per cent originated in the resi-
dental sections.
With the twenty-three additional
battalion chiefs granted him by the
city council Wednesday Mr.. Cullerton
will create fifty-six inspection dis
tricts, two chiefs to each.
1.-The chiefs will make a daily an(
constant inspection of every building
under their command" he added
where hazards are discovered thu
owners will be warned. We may have
to stir up a lot of trouble"
Theaters will be closely supervised
particularly in respect to the massin;
of patrons in lobbies, as is practiced
Mr.. Cullerton said, by many large mo
ton picture houses.
The per capita loss has been Gu
from 1924 ten years ago to $1,89 las
year This despite the increase il
population of 487,009; the construC
ton of $S77,279,527 new buildings an
the inauguration of the two-platOol
system without employing additiona
men.
The department will be completed
motorized next year.
Mr.. CullertOn said he intended t

The Chicago Post Office reports
that foodstuffs and clothing are flood
ing the mails in the form of Christ
mas packages for delivery in foreign
countries this year more than in any
years since the start of the war. More
than $50 sacks of mail and packages,
weighing between eighty and ninety
pounds, were dispatched from Chicago
to Germany during three days of this
week. The majority of the packages,
which must bear a declaration for the
custom-house officials, contain cloth
ing and things to eat-goOds which
cannot be purchased in that country
except at enormous costs.
