ARMS CONFERENCE SEEMS
 70 BE AZ STAMDS72LL AS
 RESULT OF FRENCH POLICY
GERMANY HAS GOT
 TO GIVE DETAILS
Until She Tells What She Can Pay, Moratorium
 Decision Is Held Up

Paris, Dec. 17.-CBy Associated Press )--The allied rcparations com mission has refused to consider Ger many's request for an extension Of time on her January and February reparation payments until the German government tells just what she can pay on these installments and gives other information demanded. This developed when the text of the com missions note to the Berlin govern ment was made public here today.
 The text of the note reads:
 "The reparatons commission has received a letter from the chancellor dated December 14 announcing that the German government was unable to pay in their entirety the install- ments due, under the schedule of pay ments, on January 15 and February 15, next, and requesting the repara. tions commission to extend the time limit for the payment of these in stallments.
 '"rhe commission can but express it's surprise that the chanCellor's let ter contains no definite statement as to the currencies which the German government would be able to pay on each of the above dates; as to the length of the extension requested for the payment of the balance, or as to the security to be offered meantime.
 Unless and until the commission receives definite information on these points it will be impossible to give consideration to- or even examine the request of the German government.
 ''rhe separations commission re- grets to note that the chancellor's let ter makes no allusion to the meas ureS he has adopted or propose to adopt in compliance with the views expressed by the commission in its verbal statement of November 13 and its letter of December ?, 1921. The commission recommends this letter tC the particular attention of the chan cellor"

BUY GERMAN ZEPPELIN
Council of Ambassadors Gives United States Permission to Purchase Air Ship From TcutOns.

Paris, Dec. 17.-(By Associated Press. )-The council of the ambassa- dors has granted permission to the United States to contract for the con- struction at Friedrichshafer, Ger many, of a Zeppelin of the L-70 type. This decision markes the end of dip lomatic negotiations which have pro- ceeded between the allied powers and United States since last July.
 The application for construction of a Zeppelin grew out of the destruc- ton in Germany of five of the big dir igibles, one of which had been allot- ed to the United States during the peace conference. The United States based it's application on the grounds that it was entitled to another air ship under Germany's reparation agreement. The council of ambassa- dors referred the matter to the prin- cipal allied powers, and several notes are said to have been exchanged.
 The councils decision has been dis patched to Washington, and should reach the State department today. It is said that construction of the new Zeppelin may be started in January,

MOVIE HOUSE IN
 ELM CITY CLOSED
State Police Issue Order Against Second Movie
 Establishment

New Haven, Dec. 17.-A restraining order issued by Judge F.. c. Simp- son of the common pleas court yes terday in behalf of small moving picture house management and run ming against Chief of Police Smith does not tie the hands of the state police, who late yesterday closed a place in State street
 The reason given for this action was that the place had not compiled with requirements under which permit to operate a moving picture machine is issued. This was the second house here to be closed by the state police on grounds which fall outside the jurisdiction of the city building in spector and the fire marshal.
 It was said today that the manage ment of the theater closed by Super intendent Hurley of the state police last week may attempt to reopen and then resort to application for tenn porary injunction against state police interference. It was forecast this morning that counsel for the several theater homogeneous would take some
 
 lection" against any action of the state police which would have the same effect as the order of Mayor Fitzgerald would have had, had it been carried out--that of closing the IS houses. In legal circles it is claimed that the present situation can only be relieved by action of the board of aldermen.
 The management of one large the atcr here today expected to have its counsel apply to Judge Thomas Sfor an injunction under which it WQuld reopen for performances. ? till noon no such application had been made to Judge Thomas at Norwalk.
 Counsel for the Shubert Theatrical Co. filed an appeal with the clerk of the board of aldermen today from the action of Chief Smith in refusing to issue a license for it's show house. The company asks the board to direct the chief to issue a new license or per init under which the house may be reopened. In the petition 1t is claim ed there has been no breach Of the terms or conditions of the license un- der which the house was operated. It is further stated that there is no just cause for the attempted denial of ap- pliCationS for a proper permit
 This is the second appeal to the board. Action may he taken, Tuesday night and the expectation is that a public hearing will be ordered.

Thus Far Americans Have Not Formulated Any Counter-P Proposals To Those Offered
France Is Understood to Be Anxious for Full Pub- licity, Opposing Secret Sessions.

Washington Dec. Y (By Associat- ed Press) )-The naval committee of IS of the arms conference resumed con- sideration today of the French and Italian naval ratio problem, but with little prospect that the day would show any material results in the way Of advancement toward an agreement among the five powers on relative naval strength.
 Secrecy is Rule
 The committee again was en- trenched behind it's rule of silence, and no further inform ation was avail able as to the exact nature of the statement the French group is mak- ing aS to Frances needs in naval ton mage on the basis of her national se- curity. Nor was further light avail able on the French project to build ten 35,OO0 ton capital ships in the decade 1925-1935.
 France Wants Publicity
 M. Sarraut, now head of the French delegation, intimated last night that France would seek to have the secrecy ban of the committee lifted in order that a correct view of the position taken by her delegation on naval strength might be given to the pub lie
 It is generally understood that NJ. Sarraut and Ambassador Jusserand lack full power to modify the basis or the details of the naval proposals France has presented in the commit tee. The delegation is known to have been in cable communication with Paris since the "big three" agree ment was made known officially but it has not been disclosed whether ad- ditional instructions have been re- ceived from Premier Briand
 Foch May Change View.
 Some officials here count upon the effect in France the return of Mar shal toch from the United States is apt to have because of the eXtraOr- dinary warmth of the reception the great French soldier received all over the United States during his visit here. It is estimated by these officials that the marshal's report of the very friendly feeling shown toward him by the American people everywhere will have a bearing in final determination of the French government to shape it's course in naval matters along the same lines as Great Britain, United States and Japan have agreed to do in the three power naval understanding
 The American group in the com mittee of 15 has not reached the point of formulating counter proposals AS to French and Italian naval ratios it is understood

Not only does he go smashing and

emotion that has heart touch in it.
The trend of the story carries him
from the sublime to the ridiculous,
and although much that he does is
