The Farley Background
Negotiations One More Step in Elusive Quest
of Ideal Peace.

League of Nations A three-power in
stead of a nve-power treaty now Is q
possibility, with both France and Italy
left out
As sponsors for the conference, It
win be the purpose of the American and
British delegates. in particular, to tread
very softly amid this tangle Of rival
national aspirations.
Diplomatic history has demonstrated
often the hazards of playing upon
sensitive national emotions, just as 1t
has shown, likewise, that by proceeding
carefully from one rock of safety to
another. something, at least, can be &C
complished.
Original Proposals Put Aside.
At the Washington conference in
1921, one after another of the orig
inal proposals had to be put aside.
Some, beset by danger signals, passed
from the picture with surprising sud
denness. Limitation of armies-a sub
ject not on the program at London
went into the discard almost at the
start.
The scaling down of cruiser and
submarine strength followed. The
whole course of the negotiations was
subject to change from hour to hour.
But by proceeding always along the
line of least diplomatic resistance, the
conference did succeed in bringing the
mighty battleship within restrictive
covenants, and in laying down technical
limits on a few other classes Of war
ships.
Deadlock Seen Over Submarines.
Thus at London. Already tentative
proposals for abolition of the sub
marine and the battleship seem headed
toward deadlock. Holding to the
principle of taking first those things
most easily treated, the assembling
delegates hope to proceed step by step
to real accomplishment, however far
short of the ultimate ideal they may
fail.
At this preliminary stage, the OBJ
jectives standing out largest on the
horizon are the actual realization of
parity between the United States and
Great Britain and a general trimming
down of all warship building programs
for Q limited number of years in the
immediate future.
If the conference were to accom-
plish these things and nothing more, 1t
would have attained an enduring place
in the evolutionary history Of arms
limitation.

|. STEEL PRODUCTION
Centrifugal Billet Casting
Machine Demonstrated
at Ohio Plant.


CANTON, Ohio, January ia CEN
trifugal billet casting machine, which
its inventor claims will eliminate the
expense of removing Stag from iron ore
and reduce the cost of steel production
between 81 and S. a ton, has been COM
pleted for commercial use.
After 10 years Of experimenting, Leon
Cammen, consulting engineer, Of New
York, was able to give his first CONNER
cial demonstration before representa-
tives Of the leading steel corporations at
the Central Alloy plant here yesterday.
Molten Metal Tube.
b, Demonstration Of the machine was
made by pouring molten metal into. a
tube which carried 1t to a rapidly re-
volving mold In which 1t fell into COM
partments. The high speed Of the ma
chine makes the billetS more uniform
in composition and brings about a bet
ter grade of steel, Cammen said.
Similar machines have been used for
molding cast pipe, the principal diff
ference being that the billet machine is
divided into compartments.
Taken TO Mills.
From the billet machine the steel is
taken to the production mills for roll
ing into sheet or plate. The cylinder
revolves at a speed equal to that of a
wheel on train travelling los miles
an hour. Cammen said. The machine
makes eight billets at one time, each
OF which Is 61z feet long, Is inches
wide and up to inches thick. A ma
chine to make IS foot sizes has been
tested, Cammen said. Several manu-
featuring companies have aided in de-
velopment Of the machine and many
hold licenses for its use. Test machines
have been constructed at Niagara Falls
and Bethlehem, Pa,

mum to date from the opening session
January 81.
Under the broad general phrases of
the Hottest utterances Of the confreres
will be found a note of realization that
whatever great things may be done,
much will remain.
The months of preliminary discussion
have brought more and more into the
open the obstacles which, lie ahead.
The United States and Great Britain
have agreed to equalize their navies,
but the vastly important technical
method Of that equalization still Is to
be determined.
Japan Wants Cruiser Rating.
There will be serious opposition to
any project to abolish either the sub
marine or the battleship. Japan wants
a cruiser strength above the SIS
rating which the United States and
Great Britain want to apply.
France also wants to build extensively
in both cruisers and submarines and
she has intimated, too, that she may
not sign a treaty at London unless its
enforcement is brought under the

CHICAGO, January 1.-THE

wrecked the marriage of the
Walter Gabberts. Judge SABBATH
indicated yesterday he would sign
a divorce decree in favor Of Mrs.
Gabbert-
1t was her delight, she set
forth, to slide down the ban
listers. Gabbert objected. The
appearance of his wife swishing
around a curve, or the noise Of It,
or something was not quite
clear to what he took particular
exception-was not favored by
him. She told the court he
eventually resorted to cruelty in
an effort to break her of the
habit formed in happy childhood.

The work OF the young italian COM

unusual feature on this program. This

1925, is especially significant, as it
shows the latest trend in musical COM
pO In the e t January, 1927, issue Of
La Revue Musicale, which has fore
word by Gabrielle dAnnuzio, Alfredo
Casella, himself distinguished member
of the group of present-day Italian
composers, has an article entitled LES
Jeunes ct Independents" In this arti-
Gle Signor Casella says Of Vittorio Rieti !:
Among these, the best known out OF
italy Is without doubt vittorio Rieti.
Pupil of Frugatta.
"Oficially, Rieti was the pupil of
Frugatta and of Respighi, but he is
above all self instructed, and long in
timacy with me has been at least de-
cisive for his orientation. Rieti, al
though he has not yet reached his
thirties. already is in possession of sew
eral high qualities longed- for by other
composers who have sought for them
all their lives without acquiring them
a style, a personality and, finally, q re-
markable assurance of form and tech
nique. which 1t is no exaggeration to
call n1Astership. Rieti rapidly acquired
these successes through his animated
spirit S(being at heart, like all persons
Of 'clownesque' tendencies; tragic rather
than comic). But, without doubt, he
will soon know how to develop other
qualities and, more profound ones"

last night that thorough investigation
would be made into Communist dem
onstrations In front of the Mexican en-
bassies In Washington and Buenos Aires.
He said that If it was found the incl

those implicated would be deported.
The announcement was the result Of
q statement by Mexican Communists
published in newspapers here in which
they said they were responsible for the
demonstrations The statement was
issued as . denial Of reports that the
Russian government had organized the
affairs. It came from the Mexican
chapter Of the International Red Aid
Society and claimed that the society
had instigated the Washington and
Buenos Aires demonstrations on its own
initiative.

Abolition 81 Graft Soon.
e LONDON, January IT, [R.-There
was little expectation IN England today
that the forthcoming London Naval
Conference would result in early aboli-
ton Of battleships. That development
undoubtedly would be welcomed by a
large section Of the British public.
The Times said today, voicing a gen
eral view which the attitude Of the
United States as reported here was re-
gsrded as strongly confirming, said,
1.-THE disappearance Of tthe battleship
from the world's fleets Is an idea in
capable Of immediate fulfillment."
American dispatches to London papers
represented opinion across the Atlantic
as being quite hostile to the idea ex-
pressed by Premier Macdonald yester-
day that capital ships may be elinni-
mated from the worlds navy. One. dis
patch declared the suggestion had raised
storm" in the United States.
However a more hopeful view was
taken of the possibility of prolonging
the battleship holiday by extending the
Life Of existing capital ships until 1895
and 1886, when Is was assumed another
conference would be called to arrange
possible limitations. 1t was commended
this would keep open the way for o
further step In the direction Of their
abolition.
