Saxon Powers resulted in 8 dead lock, toward the solution of which no progress has been made in the intervening year.
 A certain improvement has been effected in Anglo United States naval relations. The United States informally abandoned its opposi- tion to Britains' addition of 20 cruisers to its present 50. So re- markedly has the former bitter ri- valry between the British and United States navies diminished that according to reliable sources, States naval maneuvers in the At the suggestion of joint Anglo United lantic, possibly of the West Indies, has been made privately and unof- ,cially.
 But one can look far and long for signs of naval understanding which would be welcome to the taxpayer. The United States and Japan, respectively, in May and July-August this year, unloosed their battle fleets for impressive maneuvers uncomfortably close to the internatioal date line. Mean while other evidences of prepara- tions for strength in the Pacific have been discerned in the increase of the current years United States and Japanese naval appropriations, respectively, from $460, 1000 to $550, ,0O0, 900, and from approximate ly 48s, 900, 900 yen to 52s, ,683, 900 yen.
 Fleet Air Forces Grow.
 Both have been enlsrging their fietet air arms. The United States has been preparing to erect air lines across the Pacific via Hawaii, Midway, Wake, Guam and the Phil ippines. Japan has denied the for tif1cation of its mandated islands, but the League of Nations Man dates Commission has shown un- easy concern for port developments in those islands.
 With Japan now politically and economically predominant in Man chukuo, China is increasingly faced with the alternative of acquieScing in Japan's Monroe Doctrine for Eastern Asia or finding that doc Urine enforced despite Chinese op- position.
 In the midst of these develop ments in the East, the recrudesc- ence of German naval strength in the West has brought the volcano of European naval rivalries, sput- tering slight or dormant for years, close to eruption.

CRAYMOOR PLANS
 SPECIAL DINNER
Homeless, Unemployed to Be Guests Tomorrow
 of Friars

More than 185 homeless and un- employed men, residents of St. Christopher's Inn, Graymoor, Gar rison, N. Y., will invoke blessings on their benefactors on Thanksgtv- ing Day by attending mass which will be offered in the Inn chapel at 7 o'clock. Thanks to the ben- efactors of the institution these men will eat 8 turkey dinner with all the fixin's" and enjoy real old fashioned American holiday.
 Several Waterbury young men are now students at Graymoor, and others have studied there in the past. The late John Reid, after whose family Rockville was named was 8 benefactor of Graymoor for years, and left his property to Graymoor. It has long been ru- mored that the order will erect a boys school on the East End tract. Friends of the Inn, whihc is a home maintained for wayfarers and unemployed men by the Francis can Friars of the Atonement on their monastery grounds, Mount of the Atonement, have donated enough turkey and foodstuffs to in- sure the success of the Thanksgiv- ing Day observance which the friars had planned for them.
 Prayers of thanksgiving and for the intentions of benefactors will be offered during the early morn- ing mass and again at night.
 During the day men in need of clothing will also be properly sup piled.
 The cold weather which has wis., tied the Highlands section of New York State during the past two week ends has sent large number 1 of men to the Inn seeking shelter food and clothing. Every available blanket and bed has been pressed into service by the friars in an ef- fort to accommodate the man witf whom they share their food anc housing facilities. The increase oi men has proved an added drain or the food supply of the religiou. community.
 Funds for the maintenance of the Inn are raised through the goot will offerings of friends of the in. stitution and through assistance ob. tained from the audience of tho Ave Maria Hour".

Many @ conference has been held since the end of the World War with the outcome in doubt or Suc- cess improbable, but none has been convened with experts so unanimous in their prediction of failure. And failure to limit the number of war ships posed by each naval power, to restrict the size of every type of fighting craft and fix the maximum caliber of guns will mean, the ex- pertS explain, intensified rivalry at sea, costly building and the nour- ishment of new suspicion and ani- mostly in 8 world already torn by competing nationalisns.
 Session Is Obligatory
 Britain has convoked the con- Terence without hope of success. i "A Washington Treaty clause obli- gated the signatory powers to meet before the end of 1895. Nobody an- ticipstes perpetuation of the 1922 Washington Treaty, which for 13 years has confined warship building to . limit without which a wild race might have ensued.
 That treaty will expire at the end of next year. While it lasted, it linn tied battleships, big cruisers and aircraft carriers of the five naval nations to a ratio of five for the United States, five for Britain, three for Japan and ITS each for France end Italy.
 Nor is there hope of prolonging the London naval agreement of l93O, regulating the relative strength of the United States, Bri- tain and Japan in small cruisers, destroyres and submarines.
 Following Japan's denunciation of the washington Treaty on Dec. %, 1884 1t became obligatory to con- fer before the end of 1885 with the treaty lapsing after Dec. 3l, 1886. The London naval accord expires automatically, unless renewed, on the same date. And its renewal is admittedly out of the question.
 Preliminary Efforts Fail
 ERorts undertaken last year to lay the foundation for a new naval understanding failed dismally. United States and British delegates met in London in June and July, 1854 and again-this time with the Japanese-from Oct. g to Dec. 19. Japan's demand for ton-for-ton equality with each of the Anglo

Supplementing yesterdays an- nouncement of IS new highway projects. to be undertaken on local town roads with the aid of federal PWA funds, Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald to-day rushed through another batch of IS jobs of exactly the same nature, which will include more than A miles of road surface improvement, and the building of two bridges and one storm sewer.
 The commissioner requested con- tractors bids on these IS new pro- jects on December 6, the day fol- lowing the opening of bids on the 15 jobs announced yesterday.
 All of the 30 jobs, including in all 82 miles of surfacing and four bridges plus other work, will be done with the PWA financing 45 per cent of the cost of labor and materials. All of the work, how ever, is contingent upon the allot- ment of funds by the federal auth critics and upon the acceptance of the federal grant by the munich pality in which the work is planned. The deadline for submission of PWA work is December IA.
 As was the case with the first 15 jobs, the IS new contracts will call for the most part for gravel Surfacing on many sections of town road, but they also will include some surfacing of 6 more perman- ent nature.
 Middlebury Project
 Among the new projects there will be four jobs in the latter class. The longest will entail slightly more than two miles of bituminous macadam on the Straits Turnpike in the Town of Middlebury. About lM miles of sheet asphalt on a concrete base will be laid on four streets in Hartford. Upwards of a mile of waterbound macadam is planned for the Great Hill road in the Town of Seymour, while exactly Q mile of bituminous ma cadam will be built on Chatfield street in Derby. The larger of the two bridges will be Q twin, 55-foot concrete encased, girder span to be erected over the Quinnipiac river on the Sackett Point road in North Haven.

 fore an Audience to Give Public It's Chance

many years, was badly injured in an airplane crash, breaking both legs. Stone had just opened in Three Cheers" on Broadway, and 1t seemed the show would have to close.
 Stepped Into Part
 Rogers flew to New York and after one days rehearsal stepped into his old friends part. He sang and danced, two things he'd never done before, and scored one of the biggest successes of his career.
 The emergency had arisen so suddenly that Charles B. billing. ham, producer of the show, didn't even discuss terms with Rogers until after the opening.
 "How much do you want, WHIT" Dillingham; asked.
 T don't care, Charlie. Whatever you thinks right"
 Throughout the run of the show. Dillingham; weekly sent Rogers a signed check with the amount left blank. Neither man would ever reveal what figure Will wrote in, but Dillingham; admitted 1t was about one-third the sum he would have paid had Rogers mad him a set figure.
 Will's first book, "Rogerisms," :" was published in 1919. and in the same year also came "The Cowboy Philosopher on the Peace Confer. ence". and "The Cowboy Philos. opher on Prohibition" The follow ing year he brought out Roger. isms-What We Laugh At," and then abandoned his literary efforts, except his daily and Sunday news paper chores, until 1924, when he wrote "The Illiterate Digers."
 Three years later, when he was dashing all over the world by ship and plane, he wrote Letters of a Self Made Diplomat to His Presi- dent" which contained much shrewd comment on world affairs, and There's Not a Bathing Suit in Russia" which resulted from his first visit to the Soviet repub. lie. He made many friends among the powerful Russian leaders and they were looking forward eagerly to his visit with Wiley Post which ended with such tragic suddenness off Point Barrow last week.
 It was during his dashings about Europe that he appeared at the gates of Buckingham Palace one day, according to the legend.
 I'm Will Rogers and I've come to see the king," he said to the haughtv 1ua rda
 '"Tell the king," Will Is supposed to have said, that when the Prince of Wales was over in our country not long ago he told me to look up his old man some time, and here I am."
 Rogers was admitted and not only had long talk with King George but also stayed for lunch with his majesty and Queen Mary.
 TOMORROW: Ambassador of good will.
