ARTHUR j. BALFOUR.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-"The Wash
ington armament conference has touched
and benefited the whole world and all
humanity" declared Arthur J. Bafour,
head Of the British delegation to the
armament conference here this afternoon,
in his final speech of farewell to the con-
ference.
THE President of the United States,
in an eloquent speech three months ago
urged us to commit ourselves to the serv-
ice of mankind" Balfour said. Look
ing back, l think we may say without
undue self-esteem that the advice of the
President has been taken and we had
a consciousness that we have been work
ing in the service of mankind.
Il can we'll believe that the mass of
treaties and documents put on record
has formed a mighty maze, of Il for
mldable character and yet / am sure
that, despite the extraordinary character
of the mass of detail with which We
have dealt and the fact that we have
Travelled all over the globe. we have
touched the interests of the whole civil
lied world, and from the most honorable
and honest motives
THE center of our troubles has been
peculiar troubles created by the cOndi-
tions which have prevailed in China for
quarter of a century. That great ana
ancient civilization does not easily fit
in with modern schemes Of political
thought.
I'VE have had to recognize that China
has to work out her own changes in
accordance with the changes of a chang
ing world.
THE great commercial nations which
trade with China. have suffered among
themselves because Of the peculiar con-
ditions existing in China which l have
indicated.
I'VE have endeavored to keep the solid
foundations of honest dealings between
ourselves and in our relations to Chinese
conditions
Balfour expressed the belief that the
conference had supplied a turning
point in the attitude Of other nations
toward China.
He referred to the unhappy Sus'
picions as to what would happen II
certain international contingencies arose
The causes of those possible mis-
Understandings have been removed he
added He said he thought China was
the FIRST stage" the four-power Pa
cidc treaty the second stage" and the

HAYNES COMING
HERE TO SPEAK
ATCONVENI'ION
National Dry Law Director
Will Attend Gathering on
Law Enforcement.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Federal Pro
hibition Commissioner r. A. Haynes is
preparing to make a western trip next
week to confer with Director Bert c.
Morgan of Indiana and Director Joshua
f. Russell of Ohio, to make a personal
survey Of conditions and map methods
of enforcement work. He expects TO
address Statewide law enforcement
convention at Indianapolis. Feb. s, and
similar convention at Columbus, Feb 10.
when he will discuss the progress OF
Federal and State enforcement agencies
"While I have been in close personal
touch with our Indiana and Ohio forces
this will be my(frst official visit to In
diana" said Commissioner Haynes.
From all reports, covering every see
ton OF both States. I have every reason
to be pleased with conditions under
Directors Morgan and Russell, both Of
whose splendid organizations are func-
tioning with gratifying effectiveness.
Forces in Indiana and Ohio, with no
thought of material gain, operate al
ways for the common good, and l have
every reason to believe that there VIII
continue to be the same response as in
other sections Of the country in the cam
paign which has for its purpose the
thrOttling Of Bookkeeping and Illicit
traffic generally
u wish to place emphasis on the fact
that there is no geography so far as
the administration is concerned in the
enforcement of law. The only question
involved is the support Of the Constitu
ton of the United States and obedience
to law, and all good citizens will re-
spond to that appeal
During my visit I will urge all law
abiding citizens to give every aid and
encouragement to Directors Morgan and
Russell and the men Of their organiza-
tions.
Enforcement today is contest be-
tween the official who is doing his duty
attempts to defeat the purpose Of the
law for its gain. and Government agents
are in the thick Of the fight They not
only are subjected to physical danger
but to the greatest demands on the one
hand and to abuse and yillifcatiOn on the
other. They are held up to scorn and
derision by the enemies of the law
publicly They are subject to the sever
est tests by the unconscionable enemies
of the law in a continuous effort to break
down their normal fiber and loyalty Of
duty. SO the good citizenship of Indiana
and Ohio can perform a real service by
giving encoura cement to these men In
the difficult task they attempt"

TAKEN WITHOUT.
ELECTING POPE.
Puff of Black Smoke Informs
Watchers Voting Is Not
Ended.

ROME, Feb. 4.-The fourth ballet fS- a
new Pope to succeed the late Benedict
XIV was taken by the cOnclave of Car
dinals in the Vatican this morning with
out any candidate receiving the two
thirds majority necessary to elect.
For the fourth time since Friday morn
ing, black smoke. he signal Of no eiec
ton, issued from the Sistine Chapel
chimney. small smoke cloud puffed
from the chimney at II 80 o'clock, an
nouncing to the assembled watchers the
Papal electors had not agreed upon
new occupant for the chair Of st. Peters.
Great crowds filled the roofs and win
dOws of the buildings fianking st. Peters
square, awaiting the signal.
1t was generally believed the dead
lock, which was known 10 exist in the
Sacred College, might not be broken IN
til Sunday or Monday. BallOtins will
continue, if necessary.
TWO BALLOTS
TAKEN DAILY.
The election will follow the usual pro-
cedure with two ballots taken daily, one
In the morning and another In the after
noon. 1t was reported Friday four bal
lots would be taken, but this was untrue.
1t requires from two to more than three
hours for a single ballot to be taken. II
four were taken in a single day it would
mean twelve hours Of continued activity
without time for food, meditation or re-
ligious devotions.
If no Sovereign POntiff is chosen by
Monday morning, there still win be a
chance for American participation. Car
dinsl O'COnnen is due at Naples at day
break Monday and he will hasten to
Rome with all possible speed. Despite
the factthe election is already under way
behind sealed walls, he will be admitted
On account Of the deep secrecy shroud-
ing the election chamber, It was i'm
possible to tell which way the election
was going. 1t was apparent, however,
the two strong factions in the sacred
college-the reconciliationists and the
Observation-Disclosures making a
stubborn fight.
The reconciliationists, headed by Car
dinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary Of State
desire to carry out the policy Of the late
Pope Benedict XIV for rapprochement be-
tween the Vatican and the Quirinal. The
Observation-Disclosures. led by Cardinal
Merry Del Val, desire the Vatican TO re
main Isolated from the Italian state, but
an international institution IN authority.
PATRICIANs AND
PEASANTS AWAIT RESULT.
The tense public interest in the cleo
tion as shown by the character Of the
crowd which filled the piazzi OF St
Peters. There were limousines. mono
grammed and upholstered, bearing Ro-
man patrlcians. Close by huddled peas
ants who had driven into the city in
rickety donkey carts. Civilians from
every walk OF life were in the crowd
while numerous priests pressed forward
watching with eager eyes for the first
chimney.
