FRANCES conception of her needs
in the way of a defensive navy
and the firmness with which her dele
gates upheld their position brought
about a complete deadlock in the
Washington conference last week and
made it almost certain that no agree
ment viii be reached by the present
gathering concerning the reduction
and limitation of submarines and aux
iliary naval tonnage. The other pow
ers participating in the conference
were willing to cOncede the fairness
of the French position concerning the
reduction of her land armament, but
they feel that In this naval matter
France is demanding too much.
Albert Sarraut, having received
fresh instructions from Paris, told
the naval committee that France ac-
cepted the allowance of 10000 tons
of capital ships, contingent upon per-
mission to begin replacement building
in 1927 instead Of 1881, but insisted
that she be allowed 10000 tons of
submersibles and 10000 tons of aux
iliary ships. The submarine tonnage
he asked is equal to the maximum
proposed by Mr.. Hughes for Great
Britain and the United States and
three times what France now has.
Mr.. Balfour, in language as plain
as diplomatic usage permits, retorted
that France could want such subma-
rine fleet for no other purpose than
Illegal use against commerce, that the
plan was a direct threat against
Great Britain. and that in the circum-
stances the British would agree to no
limitation in the building of cruisers,
destroyers and other submarine
vessels. To NJ. Sarraut's assertion
that British fears of French agcres-
sion were baseless since Britain was
allowed a capital ship tonnage greater
than that Of France and Italy com
bined, Mr.. Balfour replied that, in the
event Of war between Great Britain
and France, England. having no large
army, could not strike at the heart Of
France, but France employing a great
navy of submarines against commerce.
could destroy the Every existence" of
Britain. To tire layman II would seem
that Mr.. Balfour had the best Of the
debate. but NJ Sarraut was unyield-
ing. Therefore Mr. Hughes, deploring
the attitude of the French, an
nounced with regret that an agree
ment on the reduction and limitation
Of Submarine oud AUXILIARY tonnage
appeared impossible.

CHILE last week accepted Peru's
~ proposal that the two govern

ferences between the two countries.

give her an outlet to the Pacific, and
Peru offers her help in settling that

In its next plenary session. One Of

ONE wonders whether President
- Harding is not already repenting
his Christmas mercy in freeing Eugene
Debs from prison. From the moment
OF his release the Socialist leader has
been emitting a steady stream of
sentimental bunk, disgusting to all
save those who believe. like Debs,
that all prisons should be abolished.
that lawbreakers should be petted
instead of punished, and that the
proletariat can do no wrong. With
the expressed intention Of starting out
to obtain from every man. woman
and child in the world a pledge never
TO take up arms, he yet gives ex.
travagant praise to the Russian revo-
lutionists, who have slain hundreds of
thousands.

{ CONSIDERABLE progress was made
- in settling the Chinese puzzles.
Mr.. Underwood's compromise. plan for
the Chinese tariff was accepted by all
the powers. This provides for an i'm
mediate increase in ASriff Of 5 per
cent adj valorem, a future increase to
712 per cent, and an increase to 1914
per cent when the provincial tariff is
abolished. 1t may be three or five
years before the increase to ~ per
cent goes into effect, since japan and
India require time to adjust their in
dustries
Apparently the deadlock between
China and Japan concerning Shantung
was complete, and it was said there
would be American and British offers
of mediation this week. But from
Tokyo came the assertion by high
officials" that Japan had gained her
main point and the whole dispute
probably would be settled soon. When
China agreed to negotiate with Japan
for the purchase Of the railway, ii
was asserted, she acknowledged ia
pans right in the road won from
Germany. China's offer of treasury
notes in payment for the railway does
not suit Tokyo as China has been I'M
able to pay similar notes outstanding.
Japan wants payment by a bond is
sue, which would prolong her control
Of the railway until cash for the
bonds could be gathered by the Chi
nese.

urged to ratify the Irish peace treaty.
Investigators report that fully 90 par

is confident it viii be ratified. and the
British authorities at Whitehall are
busily working out the details Of plans

Pity Maude Gilbert!
Nothing to Wear but
What's in a Suitcase
Actress Is Too Busy to Return
to Long Beach and Gather
Her Wardrobe.

When you think how much clothes
mean to woman drop tear for Maude
Gilbert, who lives in the contents of a
suitcase when she isn't playing in Morn
to Midnight" at the Frazee Theater in
the role of the Italian woman who starts
all the trouble.
When the Theater Guild moved Morn
to Midnight" up town it had to make
some changes in the cast, keeping Helen
Wesley and others back at the Garrick
to continue their parts In HE Who Gets
Slapped Miss Westley's role had to
be filled at once so that there could be
weeks rehearsal with new members
before the play opened at the Frazee.
When Maude Gilbert received telegram
asking her to assume the role and ap-
pear for rehearsal within a few hours
she was at Long Beach, fishing.
She intended to have a vacation after
a long season with '"The Yellow Ticket"
as one act in vaudeville. The tele-
gram changed all that. Within an hour
she had shed her fishing gear, jumped
into a tailored suit, packed a suitcase
with bare necessities and caught the
New York express.
Since she has been playing with Morn
to Midnight" there has been no time to
return to Long Beach and pack up.
Strict honesty compels Miss Gilbert to
admit she has since bought two cool
dresses. but she wants her trunk and
since she likes to pack things herself
they are all waiting until some Sunday
when she feels In the mood to make the
double trip.
II suppose I am happy go lucky
Miss Gilbert confessed but I can make
things come around comfortably no mat
ter how they break. Lucks been with
me since my high school days, when our
commencement play was coached by an
actor from the local stock company. I'd
always wanted to be an actress. so when
this actor brought the stock manager

manager offered me a job In tiny parts
