Fire of mysterious origin gutted
six storerooms and the distributing
office of the Union News Company,

French Newspapers Resent
Criticism of Naval Policy

PARIS, Jan. Lord Lees
speech at Washington attacking
French submarine demands has re-
suited in generally netting the
newspapers here.
Does one dare to accuse France
of nourishing the secret design to
commit the same crimes as the
Germans committed?
I'VE are accused of Imperialism
when we have a right to say that
at Washington the British dele
gates simply wish to suppress all
our means Of defense. Where is
the, good faith promised at the be-
ginning of the conferencer'
LIE Petit Journal repeats the
usual argument that France. by
her demands for undersea and small
fighting craft, only wishes ITO be
able to defend her rights against
foreign aggression"
Le Journal Du PApple is more
biting In its reply to Lord Lees
challenge" Because France wishes
some submarines-mark you, less
than England wants-she is pointed
out as menace to England" the
organ says. Policies of recrimina-
tions have no place in the present
discussion. 1t maintains. concluding
with the effective thrust: Come

FAR EAST AFFAIRS
NEXT SUBJECT OF
ARMS CONFERENCE
Naval Questions Await
Instructions From
Governments.

The arms conference this week
Is expected again to turn its at
tention to Far Eastern affairs.
The committee considering vari-
GUS matters in connection with
China went into recess to allow
the delegates of the five, chief pow
ers to devote all their time to the
naval agreement. Now that this is
virtually complete, the way will be
open for a resumption of Far East
ern discussions.
be the Chinese request for abro-
cation Of treaties with Japan
based on the "twenty-one de-
mands." The Japanese have re-
fused to discuss these treaties,
contending that they were a mat
ter between the two nations, with
which the conference could not
properly deal. The Chinese, how
ever, are insistent, and declare that
unless the "twenty-one demands
are discussed, and the Japanese
yield special privileges, the con-
ference will be failure from the
Chinese viewpoint.
The Japanese have prepared for
presentation an explanation of
their position on the matter.
Deadlock on shnntung.
The Shantung question, which
was the subject of direct negotia-
tions between the Chinese and
Japanese delegates, is likewise
hanging FIRE. and there is a possi-
bility that IL may be taken before
the main conference by the Chi
nese. The principal dispute has to
do with the surrender to China Of
the Shantung Railway properties
by Japan. The Japanese desire to
retain a measure of financial an"
the Chinese demur. The japanese
say they are awaiting instructions
from Tokyo before taking further
steps.
The naval committee. meantime
are waiting word from the various
home governments before meeting
again. The French government has
been asked concerning the limita-
ton of auxiliary craft other than
submarines to 10000 tons. Paris
Tokyo and Rome have been asked
concerning the Root resolution tC
prohibit the use of submarines
against merchantmen. The commit
tees will meet when replies are re-
ceived.
subcommittee Prepare Charts.
Subcommittees, meanwhile, ar,
preparing replacement charts, ar
ranging for the scrapping of capital
ships aud preparing a treaty to en-
body the naval agreement.
An important question. for the
conference to settle. which Is nov
in the hands of the experts. has to
do with the arming of merchant
men. On this point the French are
expected to raise questions. II they
subscribe to the principle that sub
marines may not attack merchant
men. they want assurances that
merchantmen will not be armed to
attack submarines.
Further, there will be regula-
tions for the arming of merchant
men for other reasons, without
which they might be converted into
formidable war craft.

BRITISH PRESS
CRIES 'BLACKMAIL'
AT FRENCH DEMAND
Hint at Reprisals if They
Are Annoyed in Matter
Of Submarines.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The attitude of
the French government in the
Washington conference continues
to arouse the British press to a
point Of evaporation and London's
more serious Sunday papers and
weekly reviews have now added
their weight OF condemnation to
tast expressed by the daily press.
Longer reflection on the French
defsands. instead of moderating tho
first resentment. seems to have in
creased II. Several Of the periodi-
calls emphasize the fact that the
more France tends to a policy of
isolation. the more she strengthens
Anglo-Amertcan cooperation.
Hints At ReprisaIs.
The Outlook. for instance, hints
at possible reprisals, possibly
mindful OF the financial situation.
II the French are going to be "sc
annoying In the matter of subma-
rines," II said. the opportunity 1.

and effectively unpleasant in re-

Incidentally, charging that
deportations and general acts of op.
preston against the Germans. are
growing worse, the Outlook sug-
gests that France means. with the
submarines she demands, to profit
by Germany's error at the begin,

M'CUMBER TAKES
PENROSE'S PLACE
ON COMMITTEE
Succession Is Automatic
Not Altering Policies
Of Finance Body.

Senator Porter J. McCumber. OF
North Dakota, will succeed the late
Senator Boies Penrose. OF Pennsyl-
vania, 70 the chairmanship Of the
powerful Senate Finance Com
mittee.
The succession practically will
be automatic, under the Senate
rules of seniority, Mccumoer has
served continuously in,.the Senate
since 1888.
1t Will be his task to guide the
permanent tariff bill through the
Upper Chamber. The Finance Com
mittee is at work on the measure
now, and expects to report II out
shortly after Congress re-asssem-
bles tomorrow. McCumber also
will have chief responsibility in
connection with changes in the new
revenue law which President Hard
ing will recommend when he con-
siders the time opportune.
Policies Not Altered.
The death Of Penrose will in no
way alter the policies Of the COM
mittee. Penrose was regarded as a
'protectionist" and a "standpatter. 3"
So is McCumber. Their views have
been in accord on all principal
matters that have come before the
committee. In addition. McCumber
had been taking an increasingly
prominent part in the activities Of
the committee because Of the weak
ened physical condition OF Penrose.
IL was McCUmber who had charge
OF the soldier bonus bill. which was
shelved at the request Of President
Harding.
The change does mean, however,
that the craftsmanship of the COM
mittee passes from an Industrial 70
an agricultural State. McCpmher
however. is not an active member
or the agricultural bloc. although
ne has been active in promotinr
legislation in behalf Of the farm
I ers.
hcCumber has worked in har-
mony with President Harding al
though he was resentful whom tbe
soldier bonus bill was pushed aside
He is not regarded as close ,c
the White House. however, and has
never taken the rart in rarty conn
ellis that was taken by Senator
Penrose.
! The death OF Senator Penros. r.
moves another Of the Republican n
v old Guard" and another Of those
who have consistently opposed tn.
activities of the so-called prorres-
sive group.
Spoke Freely of Late.
Those who knew Penrose durinr
his career in the Senate thought
that his illness worked a chanE-
in his manner as well. He had been
considered much more approach
able" during recent months than at
any time. This was particularly
true as regards his attitude toward
members OF the press gallery
Where formerly he talked little on
any subject, lately he spoke freely
and answered questions willingly
And he had been accessible. He
held frequent press conferences. a
practice not generally followed by
the elder Republican leaders.
Penrose participated rarely In
Senate debates, and then his re-
marks were seldom long or ora
torical. He spoke directly to the
business in hand. and had small
sympathy for the digressions and
long speeches of his colleagues. He
was sharply critical of those who
talked at length during the debate
on the revenue bill.
While never an Orator" Penrose
none the less was the master OF
a keen wit and a sharp tongue. He
spoke his mind with freedom and
