Hill and Lecompte.
1t appears that Hanes, accom-
panied by F. M. Howell, a friend
also a resident of Long Leaf, left
the latter place for Leccmpte.
They stopped at Forest Hill,
where two young women friends,
Misses Willie Duck and Velma
Mizell, joined them and they re-
sumed their journey to Lecompte
to attend picture show. a short
time after they left Forest Hill a
car passed them and went ahead
of them, according to the evl-
dence given by the young people
in the car with Hanes.
Hanes said to Howell that they
should oyertake the car which
had just passed them and go a
head Of it again. Howell agreed
to the suggestion and speeded
up his machine. The car finally
came up behind the car ahead
and the driver blew his horn in
an effort to pass, but instead OF
the car which was ahead turning
tothe right to give room to the
rear car to pass, the driver
swerved to the left to prevent

Japan's Attitude Known.

The reports that have reached the De-
partment of State with respec. to the
attitude of Japan toward ths treaties
were said officially to be at all times
encouraging. 1t is known, however. that
IT, was not all plain sailing for tie treat
les in Toxic, any more than II IL now in
Paris. Things were going on behind the
scenes. and the things that were going
en-, 1t Is inferred, did have a bearing on
the recent elevation of Admi ~ Baron
Kato to the Premiership. His elevation
and the fact that he holds himself re-
sponsible for the ratification of the
treaties has. to say the least, strength
ened the assurance of this Government
that all is well as far as japan Is con-
cerned.
Unless Premier Poincare takes steps
to submit the treaties to the Chamber
of Deputies in the near future some
action by the American Government Is
to be expected. Secretary Hughes did
not hesitate to warn the French Premier
when the recalcitrant attitude of the
French on the naval program threat
ened to disrupt the conference. One
thing is certain. and that Is that he will
not permit procrastination to make the
treaties a dead letter indefinitely.
France has been looking for this aid
ever since the signing of the Treaty Of
Versailles. American representations on
the treaties may well, It is inferred.
take the form of n warning not only to
France but to the other powers, includ-
ing England and Italy, that the pros
pect of American participation in saving
Europe from insolvency is not height
ened by the continued delays on the
Washington treaties. Such a warning
and a service OF notice that American
good will is at stake are weapons still
left ia the armory OF this Government,
and they are expected 10 be used II the
delay continues much further.

JAPAN WATTS ON ALLIES
Hughes and Harding May Take
Action Unless Change Is
Noticed Soon.
Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. June Is.
While American officials are careful
to abstain from censure or criticism
of the other Powers for their failure
to take action on the series of treaties
framed in the Washington conference.
they are more and more coming to
look on the delay with disapproval.
akin to apprehension.
Seven months have gone by since
the treaties were formulated, and,
outside of America, only one of the
Powers-China--ha ratified them.
England took the initial step in rati-
fication when the naval treaty was
submitted for action on Wednesday.
Secretary of State Hughes, and, doubt
less. President Harding, would like to
see all the Powers parties to the
treaties take immediate steps to make
them an actually.
While the State Department was at no
time gravely alarmed over the prospect
of the treaties being eventually ratified,
it did not look for anything like the de-
lays that for one reason or another they
have been subjected to.
French Attitude Feared.
1t has been felt all along here that
the attitude of France and the DISPOSE
tion of the Poincare government to mark
time on the treaties constituted the
principal obstacle to ratification by the
other Powers. In the face of intimations
that France would adopt a drastic reser-
vation to the naval treaty, it was taken
for granted that the other nations, ncta-
bly, England and Italy, would mark time
pending the evolution of French policy.
What France has done Is exactly the
thing that the United States desired
most to avoid. The French Government.
it is felt. has made the treaties part and
parcel of the European situation. That
Is what President Harding and Secretary
Hughes desired most of all to avoid. 1t
was with this in mind that this Govern
ment at the time of the conference alb
stained from the discussion of land
armaments and was content to enter
world affairs through the back door Of
the Pacific. France knows the impor-
tance that the United States attaches to
the treaties. and there is evident now in
Washington a strong undercurrent Of
feeling among officials that there is more
than a disposition to use them as pawn
in the European political-economic tan
gle.
Premier Poincare at no time made a
public statement on the treaties In re-
ply to inquiries from the United States
and other Governments, however, he has
intimated that 1t would not be possible
to get them through the Chamber Of
Deputies without a strong reser Cation to
the naval treaty.
American officials do not lake the
threat of French reservation very Sc
riously. The view that they really take
is that the French politicians are not
primarily thinking of amend ng the
naval treaty, IL at all. and that what
they are really doing Is withho ding ac-
tion on it, in the belief that Il cons.i-
tutes a useful lever with which TO COM
pei attention TO the demands OF French
policy in Europe.
