9kHpn EVENTS OF A WEEK.
4ior8 By speeding up work on the remaining num-
rs the senate has completed its favorable action
% all seven of the treaties recently submitted to it.,
ginning with the zap treaty and including all Of
,e arms conference treaties. The vote in favor OF
A3.e zap treaty, registered more than a month ago,
II IS 81 to %. That on the four-power treaty, which
BIS regarded as the keystone of the entire structure
,resllt at the arms conference was 81 to -, the treaty
clustering their greatest strength on this roll call.
+ = he remaining treaties were approved by PRACTICAL
hnah Favorable action in the American senate was
,kavlowed by prompt action by the administration in
o. forming the other nations participating in the
4 Inference of the readiness of the United States to
Exchange notifications on the several measures. 1t
SrH expected that ratification by the other powers
lSaa1NS,ll follow, although there has been suggestion of
qualifications in France and Japan. Discussions in
In E French chamber referred %pointedly to the pro-
ssSSraaure in the United States senate in attaching
observations, and it was suggested that if it were
iEssepSSoper for the United States to attach one reserva-
sresn it would be equally proper for France to attach
fElsnne.other. 1t is not generally believed that action
In be taken in either France or Japan seriously
Selecting any Of the treaties.
In the matter of reduction Of armament con-
H.. 3ess, or the lower branch of it, at any rate, seems
~ ,lined to better the action of the executive. The
c1use has acted favorably on the army bill reducing
nstie total army strength to $4,000 men, contrary to
III + advice Of the war department and the recon-
iiepandation of the president. Action limiting naval
,spdhlchsonnel to about s., 900 is also, forecast. Proyi-
bustins in theearrny bill instructing the president as to
ffsar.r:1at number Of men he should maintain i'll over
Eliireetas garrisons were eliminated before passage. It
Mas confidently predicted that if this provision had
t1ieeavgasen retained the president would have vetoed the

sE hy The most prominent news OF the day necessari-
& OF relates to the coal strike which, according to
an e1edule, went into effect as the clock licked off the
Eery,d OF March. Work has ceased in practically all
