Washington.-War department Of

clusion of the negotiations they have
been conducting with private interests

The visit of Henry Ford scheduled
for the latter part Of this week, 1t
was said, probably would lead Sec

at an early date on the proposal

decide to recommend its acceptance
to congress to satisfy himself with
submitting report to that body

self on the question Of acceptance or
rejection was said to depend largely
upon the answers. Mr.. Ford would
give to the questions Mr.. Weeks will
ask him.
The war department has prepared
a QUESTIONABLE, which in the opinion
of some officials will lead to quick
action by the secretary when Mr.. Ford
arrives. The questions are described
as being pointed, with the intention
of bringing the negotiations to an end
and without delay and designed to
bring the parties concerned to thor
ough understanding of their positions.
Former Senator Marion Butler, OF
North Carolina was informed that Mr..
Weeks would confer with Frederick
Engstrum, president of the Newport

SHIP SCRAPP|NG IS PROBLEM
AWAITING WORD FROM TOXIC
CONCERNING ARTICLE ON
FoRTiFIcATIoNS.
The American Delegates Regard Other
Issues Than the Ship Problem as
of Great Importance.

Washington.-The big five" powers
made further progress in their final
revision of the naval treaty but en-
countered difference of opinion when
they came to lay down rules for the
scrapping of the prescribed battle
ships.
For the American delegation, it was
proposed that the surplus vessels be
rendered entirely useless. France
readily supported that view, with It.
ally indicating similar attitude. Great
Britain and Japan withheld assent,
however, the suggestion being made
that the dismantled ships might be
used as harbor guards or training ves-
sells.
When the five delegation heads ad-
journed after several hours of debate
the question remained unsettled and
will be taken up again. During their
two sessions, however, they had COM
pleted approval OF the first Of the
treaty annexes, embodying a replace
ment chart, and they expressed hope
that all of the five anneXes might Ge
disposed Of.
Except for the article dealing with
Pacific Notifications, all Of the text
of the treaty proper already had been
virtually approved, and should Tokio's
reply on the Notifications provision
be received in time plenary session
for public discussion of the completed
treaty may be held. The Japanese in
dicated that they expected to receive
the awaited message from their capital
soon.
Indications that an agreement will
not be difficult were supported by a
declaration of a Japanese spokesman
that he saw no objection to including
BONN island and the Oshima group
in the status quo" agreement or for
tifications 1t is said to have been
over these islands that the issue now
referred to Toxic arose.
Meantime, also, some members OF
the various delegations began to lay
their plans for resumption of the
general far eastern negotiations,
which will follow completion of the
naval treaty.

Means End to Genoa Conference.

Washington.-In the absence Of sig
nificant developments in the local con-
ference, attention was concentrated
upon the surprising events in Paris.
The resignation Of NJ. BRAND did not
come as a surprise; indeed, it was ex.
pected when the French premier left
this city a month ago. But what was
recognized on all sides was that the
retirement of NJ BRAND would mean
an end to the Genoa conference and
perhaps all hope of American partici'
patton in European reconstruction Tor

PREMIER BRAND
RESIGNS OFFICE
HIS INTENTION TO RESIGN CAME
AS SURPRISE TO CABINET
WHICH SUPPORTED HIM.
CAUSED EXCITED DISCUSSION
In the Course of His Speech BRAND
Said United States Would Par
ticipate In Genoa Conference.

Paris.-President Millerand accept
ed the resignation of Premier BRAND
and his entire cabinet and indicated
he would not ask anyone to form
new ministry for a day or two. Min
lister of War Barthou and former Presi-
dent Poincaire were mentioned proud
inently in parliamentary lobbie5 as
likely candidates for the task OF form
ing a new government.
Premier BRAND submitted his resig-
nation to President Millerand at the
Elysee Palace after making lengthy
statement before the chamber Of depu-
ties justifying his attitude at the Can
mes conference.
M. Brands intention to resign was
announced to the chamber at the close
Of his hours speech The announce
ment came as an entire surprise, as
he had apparently won the sympathy
Of the chamber. His colleagues Of the
cabinet were filled with amazement
at his sudden determination. 7 M.
BRAND, after making his announce
ment, left the chamber alone. The
members Of the cabinet followed as
soon as they had recovered from their
surprise.
Groups Of deputies and government
officials speedily gathered in excited
discussion of the seriousness Of the
situation, seeking a way out Of the
difficulties.
Premier BRAND put the Anglo
French pact, the question Of postpone
ment OF Germany's reparations pay.
ments and French participation in the
Genoa conference squarely up to the
chamber of deputies, telling the depu-
ties in the bluntest terms to take them
or leave them.
The premier first presented the
question of the British pact.
"You have been complaining for
three years." he said, "of not being
called upon to share in shaping
French politics. I am bringing you
what you have been demanding for
three years and it is up to you to
say whether you want 1t or not"
Premier BRAND, in the course Of his
speech, said the United States had
agreed to participate in the Genoa
conference.
"As far as I am concerned" he con-
tinued, 81 am merely making these ex-
plantations to you and do not ask your
approval or refusal. Here is Frances
security. Take it or leave it."
The premier next turned to the sub
ject of the Genoa conference.
1T is inadmissible," he said, that
France should be absent from this con,
ference, which is purely financial and
economic, especially when such a
powerful financial and economic state
as the United States, without whose
cooperation work is impossible, has
agreed to participate"

DELEGATES TURN TO

CONFERENCE HOPES TO DISPOSE

Washington.-With the naval treaty

Washington.-With the naval treaty
virtually completed, the arms dele
gates are preparing to turn the con-
terence spotlight on Shantung, ap'
parently in the hope that settlem ment
of that controversy may make it cas-
ier to go ahead with other trouble
some problems Of the far east.
1t now is the expectation in con-
ference circles that during the next
few days, and probably until a de-
cision is reached, the Shantung
negotiations will have right OF way
while discussions Of other far east
ern subjects remain at standstill.
So far the Shantung exchanges
have taken place between the
Japanese and Chinese alone, with
American and British observers
present, but the next phase of the
conference program is expected at
least to concentrate upon the prob
lem the friendly interest of all the
governments represented here.
At their meeting the Japanese and
Chinese groups reached an agreement
for opening up the entire Kioa-Chow
leased territory to foreign trade and
they are to take up others Of the
collateral questions involved in re-
storation of the leasehold to China.
In the naval negotiations only a
few details, considered more or less
perfunctory, remain to be arranged.
An agreement has been reached re.
garding methods of scrapping, under
which discarded battleships may be
converted in some cases into airplane
carriers and training ships, and a
final settlement relating to Pacific for.
tifications awaits a reply expected
from Toxic.
II present plans develop, the final
draft of the naval treaty will be laid
before the full naval committee this
week, and will be publicly announced
at plenary session OF the conference
few days later.

ABILITY TO PAY.
FEW. MILLS ARE IN OPERATION
Factories Are Not Producing Beyond
What Is Required to Take Care
Of Current Business.

Charleston-With several more or
less perplexing factors entering into
the situation, the outlook for the fer
tilizer industry in Charleston, as we'll
as in the South generally, is regarded
as problematical, but on the whole it.
can be stated tahat this industry,
which is one of Charlestons most i'm
portant, has passed the worst period
OF the depression which struck It
with full force last year, and is now
cropping its way to more hopeful
condition. One local fertilizer man is
Of the opinion that the business this
year will in volume be approximately
the same as last year, when just about
half the normal business was done.
The session of fertilizer shipments
usually commences here about Janu-
ary / to January Is, but this year it Is
not expected to open until at least
February 1. With few exceptions, the
local factories have been closed since
last March, few being temporarily
in operation now. The factories have
adopted very Conservative policy in
manufacturing and are producing not
beyond what Is required to take care
OF current business. 1t has been
number of months since acid phos-
phate, one of the most important Of
fertilizers, has been manufactured and
il the demand for this product is as
great as last year, there is likely to
be shortage. The stocks on hand
at present in the factories consist al
most entirely Of raw products.
The business this season will he

demand for fertilizers and credit
standing Of those who would pur-
chase. A number of farmers tried
last year to dispense with the fer
tilizers, but the unsatisfactory results
are expected to bring soil foods back
to the use On the other hand, some
farmers, owing to the boil weeyil sit
uation, will probably not wish to re-
quire the usual fertilizer. There is
thus uncertainty existing, but from
the standpoint of the factories, there
is no question but that the worst is
over. Naturally there is tendency
to be somewhat gloomy - when one
contrasts the prosperity which famed
