similar communication that Ambss-
sador Harvey may have been in

on Sunday night, certainly left the
French government under no illu-

naval proposals upon the American
administration
Hitherto the American press has
handled the issue with commend
able restraint, but undue delay IN

attend. The grand committee was
to have met this morning, when il
was expected that Admira' de Bon
would place before IL a somewhat
less startling Interpretation Of the
French claims than was Iut Tor

committee adjourned until tomor-
row.
A friendly interchange of views
took place during the weekend be-

news from London is being eagerly

that. in addition 10 a moratorium for

Volcanic Ashes Cover Wide
Area in South Argentina
Layer of Dust Three or Four Inches Thick
Spreads Over Country and Reaches
Buenos Aires Source Unknown.

BUENoS AIRES, Dec. 1s.-vol-
canic ashes, which have bean re-
ported to be falling over farge areas
Of South Argentina from an un-
known source since Thursday
reached Buenos Aires on Sunday.
Although the fall here was so sparse
that the unusual quantity of fin-
dust in houses and Offices this
morning was attributed generally
to the wind which has been blow
ing for several days, the volcanic
nature of the ashes was clearly ap-
harent when seen on the vegetation
on the outskirts of the city.
The Washington herald., 1921-12-20

The ashes clinging to the plants
had the consistency and color or
cigar ashes.
An interesting feature of the
phenomenon was that although the
ashes had travelled about 700 mites
northeast whence they were first
reported and were plentiful enough
to cover many miles In South Ar
gentina with a layer three or four
inches thick, the identity of the
volcano has not yet been estab-
lished. and no disastrous outbreak
was reported from the volcanic re-
gion of South Chile.
