Washington, March 11.-In his let ter to Senator Underwood, the secre- tary added that the amenities of in ternational intercourse precluded re- vealing the informal and confidential suggestions and conversations incident to the negotiations but he assured the senate that a full disclosure of every thing said or done would reveal noth- ing derogatory to the part taken by the American delegates. He asserted it would show no consideration or ac- ceptance of any position not entirely consistent with the traditional policies of the American government
 Needs No Comment
 The four power pact itself requires no commentary. the secretary said adding that no ingenuity in argument or hostile criticism can add to it oi make it's engagements greater than it's unequivocal language sets forth" !" There are no secret notes or un- derstandings, he asserted.
 Favored by Underwood
 Describing the four power Pacific treaty as "the real treaty of peace' of the arms conference, Senator Under wood of Ala bama, the democratic senate leader and a member of the American delegation to the conference told the senate today that he would vote for the pact's ratification in the same spirit which actuated him tc support the treaty of Versailles and the league of nations.
 fio 1nod CT declared was whether the United States was ready to give its sanction to an arrangement for peace by mu- tual understanding" or desired to con- tinue the opportunity for war that but this four power treaty is the real cades."
 Not an Alliance
 Mir. Underwood asserted that he did not regard the treaty as an alliance were founded on arbitration rather than force, he would support it. Tc argue, on the other hand, that be- cause it was not based on force, il was valueess was declared by the senator to be reverting to the phil osophy of past ages.
 Says Treaty Necessary.
 Accounting how he had supported the league of nations, he said he had approached the work of the arms conference ready to welcome any new effort to establish peace by interna- tional understanding rather than by the power of the sword.

Mayor Announces He Is Candi-
 date to Succeed Himself
LOOKS LIKE HALLORAN, TOO
Indications in Democrat Circles To- day Point to Former Executive to Oppose Alderman Paone>sa at Party Primaries.

Mayor Orson r. Curtis has at last broken his silence relative to the com ing primary for the republican nomin- alton for the mayoralty. This after noon he officially announced that he would be a candidate. Other than to state that he would be in the race, Mayor Curtis would not comment. He did say, however, that he will not at this time outline any platform on which he will seek a reelection, nor will he name any campaign manager to handle his affairs.
 Plans Are Incomplete.
 | Mayor Curtis was asked if he in tended to conduct a vigorous cam paign for the nomination, such as George A. Quigley has outlined. His answer was that conditions and cir cumstances would govern his actions during the next few weeks. There is an impression that Mayor Curtis will do some stumping should the attack of the Quigley forces be aimed di- recty at his administration.
 | One Reason For Silence.
 For several weeks there has been a bedlam of political rumors in both parties. Several names have been men toned, but other than Mir. Quigley and A. NJ. Paonessa, none has come out as seeking the nominations until to- | day. Mayor Curtis said this afternoon that he has had his eye on the nom- nation for sometime, until today he did not see fit to officially declare himself in the race.
 He would not state what these con- ditions were. except to say that he has felt that it would not have beer proper for him to do so until after the city meeting board had held its meeting, over which he presided. "Yol know there were several mentioned candidates on hand that night" Mayor Curtis said, mentioning the names O G. A, Quigley and A. M, Paonessa.
 Fewer Candidates Now. | It now appears as though Mayo Curtis and Mir, Quigley will battle i out at the primaries, for the second time in two years. It was this sam pair ef candidates who settled th question in the primaries in 1920 l Mayor Curtis winning by about 27 votes, carrying every ward with th' exception of the second and fifth.
 Qnigiey Forces Displeased.
 According to the Quigley forces things are shaping up well for the coming primary, and in his following there is an air of confidence that the aX-mayor will be the republican stan lard bearer at the April election. Ono of the leaders in the Quigley ranks today came out in no uncertain terms regarding the apparent inactivity o the republican town committee. Ii was pointed out that the democrats are hard at work getting in registered members of the party, while big per centage of those who have registered

London. March 11.-Thc general strike called by the miners leaders at Johannesburg, is in reality a revolu- tionary movement, according to the Capetown correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. The strike issue has been eclipsed by threat against the state, he says.
 There was some speculation over Premier Smuts delay in proclaiming martial law, which was regarded as gravely overdue, but it is understood he was actuated by fear that such q step would precipitate conflict in which the strikers who are mainly Dutch. might be reinforced from the Veldt.
 Farmers With strikers. l The Johanncsbnrg correspondent cf the same newspaper reports that numbers of Dutch farmers in the Boksburg and Benon districts have | joined the strikers and formed mounted commandos which attacked Benoni,

 The Times Johannesburg corre- spondent on the other hand ascribes the trouble to a widespread Bolshe vist plot and says the Eordsburg commando regards itself as a red guard He adds that fighting is in progress throughout the Rand. the , most severe trouble being in the east ern section. He believes that the police will soon gain the upper hand in Johannesburg and Benoni but ad- mits that, owing to the prevailing chaos, it is very difficult to verify the various reports
 Firing Started.
 Vast crowds were still in the streets at the time this dispatch was filed (presumaby after martial law had been declared) and firing is heard every jew minutes. l It is reported from Benoni that an airplane has been shot down. the pilot being killed. It was later learned that the pilot was Captain Cairey Thomas. who had been shot through ;he heart.
 The strikers plans evidently had been well laid. The leaders appar- ently aimed at cutting off communi- ] cations in order 10 facilitate the seiz- ure of important strategic positions.

 Pay for Broadcasting

Schenectady, N. r.. March 1l.-un- der certain conditions radio waves might travel more easily through the ground or the waters of the sea than through the air. it was said today by Dr. Charles F. Steinmez, chief consulting engineer for the General Electric Co.
 He said he considered well founded the supposition that recent perform ances of low power radio sending apparatus in transmitting messages to surprising distances gave an indi- cation that the radiations peculiar to wireless transmission pass with equal ease through the earth as through the ether.
 Such radiations he said would be in accord with accepted electrical laws, as tho ground, to which both the sending attenae and receiving set circuit for the current. In like man. ner, he pointed out water might serve as a medium for radio conversations between ships or between ships and land.
 Wireless telephony, it was said by associates of Dr. Steinmetz had beer revolutio .lized by the successful per formances of the duplex transmitters completed early this week when con. versations were held between New Yorks and passengers aboard the steamer America at the time dis tance of 360 miles at sea. The duplex telephone enables lanc | lines to be linked in with the radio so that one might talk over his owr home telephone to persons far at sea Heretofore such link was inpractiea ble because it was necessary to turr switch from send" to receiver" 1T the radio apparatus each time thu speaker became the listener.
