Hughes as a Fog-Dispeller.

Again Secretary Hughes has amazed
the delegates Of other powers repre-
sented in the Washington conference
by the directness and thoroughness
with. which he dispels the fogs sur
rounding an involved question and
strikes at the heart Of it. At the open.
ing of the~conference he demonstrated
that the way to limit naval armaments
was to limit them. Now he makes it
plain that the only way to deal fairly
with China is by fair dealing. His
formula is SO simple that it will be
difficult for any nation to becloud the
issue in service of its own selfish pur-
poses.
When the delegates had recovered
from the establishment engendered by
the straightforwardness Of the pro-
posal, according to press reports, they
accepted it in principle but 1t was
announced by some Of them that they
could not go beyond such general ac-
ceptance until they had consulted their
home governments. That is all right.
There is no objection to such consul
tation, but it will not enable them. to
take the issue from open daylight back
into the obscurity of diplomatic pal
aver. Any nation which is not willing
to give China square deal now is In
position where it will have to say no.
Those doubling Thomases who
thought that nothing worth while
Of he ~,
conference must have a queer feeling
today in the region of their midriffs.
Z And the distinguished gentlemen in
I. the conference who thought q week
ago that it was time to pack up and
go home must feel queerer still. But
they will find it difficult to justify COM
paint of the Hughes way of doing
things. He brings it about so natural
ly. so seemingly as matter of course,
that it has the appearance of a favor
extended. They were unable to agree
about China. They wanted to, of
course. but the problems were SO in
tricate that they seemed impossible of
solution. 1t was too bad. entirely too
bad, but, having tried and failed. natu-
rally the next thing in order was to
quit. And then Mr.. Hughes comes to
the rescue and offers solution which
all-the world will recognize and &C.
= claim as fair and proper.
Certainly the delegates Of other
powers ought to be exceedingly CRATE
! full to Mr.. Hughes, as no doubt they
, are. Andr that being true. the confer
, ence now will 60 ahead to full COM
pletion Of its work. 1t will not have to
make any embarrassing explanations
as to why it achieved only partial
success.

WILSON WILL !.
Be INFLUENCE Z.
At MO. POLLS
Democrats of Nation Watch
Result of Reed-Long Bat
tie In Missouri.
By THOMAS WRIGLEY,
international News Service.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-. July 81.
The democracy of Woodrow
Wilson will stand in the amphi-
theater of Missouri politics to-
morrow. Breckenridge M. Long,
Of St. Louis, and United States
Senator James A. Reed will be
the gladiators. The primary bat
tie will determine which will win
the contest for the Democratic
Senatorial nomination.
Hot Campaign.
Democratic eyes Of the nation are
focused on this primary fight.
Should Senator Reed be successful
and win a denomination 1t will be
thumbs down" on Wilson's democ.
racy. Should Long be successful.
Wilson's party leadership and his
policies will be regarded as meeting
the approval Of the Democratic
populace unchanged through The
stirring events Of recent years.
Wilson's democracy Is purely the
issue, and Reed and Long will rest
tonight after a red-hot campaign
which has covered every nook and
corner of the Show Me" State.
The result, leading Democrats Of
the State freely predict. will be close.
Sentiment for and against the
candidates appears very evenly d.
vided.
Reed Faced Bitter Fight.
Senator Reed, admittedly. faced
bitter fight. His stand against
many of the Wilson administration
policies. the League of Nations,
woman's suffrage, national prohibi-
ton, and other great issues, drove
from his ranks many OF the old
time Democrats who were strong
for Wilson and who staunchly stick
with party principles"
Senator Reed, however, made his
position clear in every address
made during the campaign. His
fearlessness and independence from
party ties won him respect and con-
fdence. Not once during the cam
paign did he recede from his posi-.
against " liSOn anu tHc Lcdk uc
of Nations issue and other Demo.
cratic policies in which he has DIFF
fered with his party.
Long Supports Wilson.
Breckenridge Long, on the other
hand, has been a whole-hearted
supporter Of Wilson. the League OF
Nations, national prohibition and
other issues. He has clearly de-
fined his position as being strictly
in line with Democratic principles"
and one to give strength and not
oppose the party leaders.
Long has had the open support
Of Woodrow Wilson in his cam
paign, a support which has been
valuable, according to political ex-
perts, in winning him a strong fol-
lowing in the country districts,
where Wilson's name is revered and
where his League of Nations policy
has always been approved.
A record primary vote is expect
ed to be polled and interest over
the outcome is at a high pitch
throughout the State.

(. Newport News and Norfolk
Virtually Cut Off by
Rail Tie-up.
By A. CLOYD GILL,
Times Correspondent.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va, July 81.
These are dull days for the usually
hustling towns OF Newport News and
Norfolk.
With the Chesapeake and Ohio and
the Norfolk and Western railways
tied up by their striking employees
tighter than Jacks hatband, local
business interests are beginning TO
feel the pinch. Only the presence
and continued operation of the ship
yards here have saved this town
from ruin.
Scores of ships of passage which
ordinarily should stop over here for
bunker coal and ship supplies have
been forced to follow the compass in
another direction. Should the strike
be settled Immediately, 1t would be
several weeks before maritime bust
ness would resume normal proper
tions. Several additional railroad
clerks have walked out here, and A.
c. Terry, general chairman of the
striking forces, declares they are
standing firm and will stick to the
finish,
Rails Grow Rusty.
In Norfolk, the Chesapeake and
Ohio clerks are remaining on their
Jobs, but there is little or no bust
ness for them to do, since clerks Mt
i other points have made the move
ment of freight impossible. A few
clerks of the Norfolk and Western
system walked out at Norfolk.
Many miles of railroad tracks. such
as sidings and switch tracks, are be.
coming rusty from disuse in this dis
trict. No mixed freight trains are
seen moving, and it is with difficulty,
railroad men say, that a few coal
trains are carried on the Norfolk &
Western and the Chesapeake and
Ohio, the two big coal-carrying lines.
Business people here are getting
some satisfaction out Of the report
that bunker coal is to be brought
here from England. 1t will come over
as ballast, but there are few who be.
lieve the plan Is practical.
This writer finds on travelling over
three different railroad lines in Vir-
ginia and discussing with railroad
strikers probable results of the strike
that probably the most significant
move Is that being made by the
wives of the strikers.

SOUTH GEORGIA NORMAL
TO GIVE 4-YEAR COURSE

VADOSTA, Jan. 17.-From a
two-year course to a full fedged
four-year college is the progressive
step taken by the trustees Of the
South Georgia Normal College. A
meeting of the full membership was
held during the latter part of the
past week, attended by Chancellor
David Barrow, of the State Universi-
ty, of which the South Georgia State
Normal College is a part. 1t was
decided that as the college had done
such high class work in the two
year course that the state should
place the college in the field for a
larger work, and the faculty was
instructed to prepare at once the
course for bachelors degree. This
will not in any way interfere with the
two-year course work which the col
lege has already SO well established.

2DENY CAP AND

CILPRITS' GRAVE
Another, However, Says He Saw
Gallows Garb On Exhum-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--Former
service men detailed for duty with
the American graves registration
service in France, denied today be-
fore the senate investigating COM
mittee hearing the Watson chargegs
that bodies of soldiers legally hang
ed in France were buried with the
rope and black cap on them.
George A. Bamford and John r.
Flynn both testified that he heard
nothing to substantiate such charges.
Disagreeing with preceding witt
nesses, Richard Sullivan, of Massa-
chusetts, testified that he saw two
bodies taken up with rope and
black cap on them.
Edwin E. Lamb, lieutenant colonel
overseas, said he saw two executions
at Dazailles and in the case of the
second man hanged said, 81 think the
body was quickly placed in the cof-
fin with the rope and cap still on it,
