NAVAL DELEGATES
 FACE NEW CRISIS
Conference Begun on Disputed
 Stand Of French Nation

London, March 10 tP,-Chief dele gates of the United States, Great Britain and France to the naval con- ference here tackled the first great crisis of the naval conference today when they faced each other across a table at St. James palace for con- sideration of Frances demand for a guarantee of security.
 In exchange for such a guarantee France has let it be known she IS prepared to cut her claim for a big navy aggregating 7o4,O00 tons in five years. It was a matter of utmost gravity which Mr. Macdonald, Sec retary Stmson and NJ, Briand were called upon to handle. Upon it's con- clusion depends success or failure in this greatest of all disarmament con- ferences.
 Briand Has Information
 NJ. Briand, veteran of innumerable crisis in international conferences knew in advance that neither MT Macdonald nor Secretary Stmson wish to lnNolNe tnelr countries Tn any pact which would commit them to war-like action. But M. Briand has instructions from his government that France wants a security agree ment-sonething which will guaran- tee her against aggression.
 For more than an hour the French position was under the conference microscope. Aiding Secretary Stim- son were Ambassador Morrow and Senator Robinson.
 The forenoon meeting marked the real beginning Of vital activities of the conference, where opposing claims finally were face to face with each other after seven long weeks of preliminary work and delays.

STRICKEN CITY GAVE
AID WHEN NEEDED

Washingtonians who plumbed the
depths of the heart of poor little Santo
Domingo back in 1918, when vast Sec
tons of the world we're suffering and in
need of all the help they could get,
found it in the right place and made OF
solid gold-to the tune of $4,000.
It was when sections of War-ravaged
Europe were in dire need of necessities,
food and clothing, and the Red Cross
was marshalling its forces to help, that
Santo Domingo came through with more
than its share.
The story Of how Santo Domingo,
never a rich community dug down into
its scantily lined jeans and pulled out
$85 900 when France was suffering was
told today by George Donald Miller, who
spent eight years In Santo Domingo,
from 1913 to 1922.
Back in 1918" he said, when the
war-torn regions OF Europe were in dire
distress, the call came from Washing
ton for the organization of Red Cross
chapter there. There were several
WaShingtonians on the island at the
time. William Worthington Russell,
1882 Twenty-second street, then Ameri-
can Minister to the island, was made
chairman Of the chapter. Brig. Gen.
Harry Lee Of the Marine Corps was
made honorary chairman, John T.
Vance, law librarian of the Library OF
Congress, was member of the executive
committee and I was secretary Of the
chapter When asked for money Santo
Domingo went far over its quota and
gave with spirit of good will"
In view of the hearty response of
Santo Domingo when another section of
the world was in trouble, Mr.. Miller be-
lieves that now, In Santo Domingo's dire
need, the world will respond just as
heartily.

BEACON TO HOUSE

Wind Defying Lighthouse Is
Object of Architects of
Seven Nations.

BY the Associated Press.
A wind -defying lighthouse. beacon
to ships and airplanes in such q tropic
storm as has just swept Santo Domingo,
has become the chief objective OF the
n-American Union in its plan to
move again the restless bones OF
Christopher Columbus.
Supposedly five times buried, Column
bus body, now in the cathedral at
Santo Domingo, would by this plan be
enshrined in a 400-foot-high light
house In a park by the harbor of the
Dominican capital, dedicated to serve
that most modern navigator, the inter-
American aviator.
Grandeur Is Stressed.
On grandeur, splendor, mass, the
Pan American Union placed 40 per
cent of the stress in instructions just
sent to the 10 architects from seven
nations engaged in the final completion
of the Christopher Columbus me-
mortal design.
SYMBOLISM, utilitarian arrangements,
originality and beauty Of ornament and
sculpture, followed in Importance with
smaller shares of attention given 10
economy of maintenance, color as an
arresting magnet for aviators, and Ell
fectiveness of illumination.
The 10 priZe-winning designs IN the
international elimination contest had
but one characteristic in common, a
Gibraltar like solidity to the onslaught
Of the Caribbean storm.
VIII House Memorial.
A chapel large enough TO contain the
Columbus memorial, now in the cathe-
dral and holding his bones, is to be a
part of the light house. Each architect
was required to limit the cost Of the
light house proper to $i,500,000, but to
include in his plans designs for mu-
scum and library units: for complete
airport park and garden features and
a large anchorage for seaplanes.
The plans win be submitted in Rio
de Janeiro, where a jury will meet TO
make award some time during 1881.
